He is not a man, he is a sanctimonious vengeful teenage middle-school girl. Impeach, convict and remove from the office he (together with its previous occupier) discredited and humiliated. Unlike this orange coward, MTG is a true fighter and a woman with principles, she is also a real patriot.
Meanwhile, a very critical discussion and a statement from Nathan Apffel which needs to be repeated non-stop.
"Christian Zionists are Talmudic Jews wrapped into Christianity". Yes, Dispensationalists are NOT Christians. In Russian tradition they are called (as are most Evangelicals) жидовствующие, literally--Judeizers or Yideizers. And the number of "denominations", that is 40,000, of these so called "churches" is astonishing. It is strictly money, power and ambition of those heretics who constantly subvert Bible for personal gain. Paula White, Trump's "spiritual adviser" is into Prosperity Gospel--she is a money maker (or rather extortionist from congregation using a collection of one-liners from Bible) and not a Christian. She is a charlatan as is DJT. As are most America's mega-churches and their so called Pastors.
... Donnie, who, as we all know, is a draft dodger.
You can see already then his delusions about American military power and of his own intellectual abilities in matters of warfare and applied geopolitics. Today, these delusions came to a head. But as I state ad nauseam--the US doesn't have real strategists of global repute at all. Self-promotion through the American media and PR machine is a completely different matter, but it doesn't make grilled chuck roast taste like a USDA Prime ribeye, and anybody can taste the difference.
Now, here is the issue through personal observations, and many will not like what I am about to say. Since the resignation of Joe Kent from his position I listened enough of his statements, including during conversations with Tucker, to come to a final conclusion that people at the top still cannot comprehend the depth of the US historic departure from the position it never in reality occupied. It has never been a great land power, period. It was good, while it was fighting in coalitions, but that's about it. Joe Kent, for all his personal courage and some pedigree against enemies which can hardly fight back, continues to reside in this alternative universe that, let me put it in the most simple way--"yeah, we are not that good today, but we used to be and if the right people come ... ", I hope you get the message. That's the attitude, and that's delusion.
It doesn't mean that the US military has no competent or courageous professionals, absolutely not. I will continue to repeat it. There are many people of honor, integrity and courage, but they are of the mythology and ethos which really doesn't reflect realities of the continental warfare and Joe Kent in a sense is an Exhibit A of this attitude, especially considering his CIA paramilitary background which limits one's views on real warfare. Especially continental one. This cannot be changed, because overall American views on war break down the moment US military faces an actual continental power. Iraq is not and never was a real continental power, Iran always was, give and take 100 years long hiatus for Pahlavi's reign. The Iran-Iraq War should have been a warning to the US, but it wasn't. And now we have a former CIA para telling us that the US military-industrial-congressional-media (and executive) complex knows nothing about world outside? Whose fault it is then? I guess we know the answer, even when the right words are spoken.
US cannot defend Gulf. It cannot defend itself and the widening gap cannot be closed.
... he is a full blown sociopath and he just admitted it not through the evidence which we all have, but himself.
This is also a direct evidence (again, we knew this all along) that he is utterly insecure and has complex of inferiority. He said it himself. The audience which applauds and laughs at it--is a bunch of losers and sociopaths themselves. But Donnie topped himself offering Saudi Prince Ben Salman kiss Donnie's ass. Wonderful.
He either tries to BS his way into "sudden strike" or, indeed, somebody told him that "major retaliation" by Iran may mean major casualties for the US and Israel. And WHAT nuclear deal when, in accordance to DJT himself, he "destroyed" Iranian nuclear program? Right? Right?
As I repeat ad nauseam--the only thing the US can produce militarily now is bluff and threatening rhetoric. Morons in US MSM are just that--they are morons and do not understand their own BS noise.
Can the US supply these beautiful, powerful, shiny TLAMs to 404? Yes, it can. But then the issue arises--how do you launch them from 404 territory? Typhoon? All (like three or five) of them are in Philippines and other places in Asia. This Oshkosh X-MAV or whatever the fuck this cardboard shit is--it doesn't exist as a weapon system.
So? Well, Vladimir Putin explained to Donald today, during the phone call, that the only way the US can launch TLAMs against Russia FROM the territory (and possibly air space) of 404 is by basing B-52 or B-1B Lancers at air fields INSIDE 404. That also means that once those TLAMs are released against targets inside Russia, most military-intel targets and US (and NATO) personnel cease to exist all over Europe (together with 404, of course) and the new civilization emerges within next 1 to 2 hours. But then, Donny is correct, the US needs those TLAMs because to get even a hundred or so leakers against Russian targets, the US will need most of its TLAMs arsenal, if to imagine that the US launches outside 404. One, single salvo. There will be no second one. Meanwhile, decommunization of 404 cities continues unbated.
404 IS NOT going to have modern power generating capability and grid again. It doesn't need it--agriculture, while energy consuming, is nowhere near energy needs of the machine building complex, which 404 is not going to have.
Especially Israel's management of the real estate in Gaza.
Israel was at this for two years now. They annihilated 149 square miles of Gaza, killed tens of thousands of civilians and are still getting their asses kicked by Hamas. But yes, Israel earned love all over the world, if you know what I mean.
Russian economy is in terrible shape and that is why combined NATO shits its pants while thinking about why it is outproduced by order magnitude, especially in terms of SMART high-precision weaponry.
Russians are basically fighting now with their backs to Kremlin and the population pickles last hedgehogs from Russian forests. Fact is, I think the US should immediately replace last competent American officers and intel people from Pentagon and CIA with Ukrainian generals and terrorists from GUR and that will guarantee that next American wars will be all won. At least in theory.
... it takes "5 hours for Russian tanks to be in Kiev", per Mr.Trump. Obviously, Donnie has a very peculiar relations with geography and with the movement of armor columns on march, but here is what's wrong with his "beautiful" assessment. For starters--here is a theoretical and shortest distance from Sumy to Kiev at which Russians theoretically can "march".
As you can see from the map "as crow flies" distance is around 300 kilometers, if to imagine that Russians attended DJT school of advanced military studies and want to cover this distance on tracks (and wheels) alone--doable, but kills motor resource of the hardware--the speed of the armor column of such nature could be, and that is a good result, on average about 25-30 kilometers per hour. So, if we take 300 kilometers and divide it by 30, we get around 10 hours. But that is theory.
If DJT wants to have an idea (of course he doesn't, he knows it all) what does it mean to move motor rifle battalion on march, here is a good primer from ... Soviet Defense Ministry on how to plan (battalion is the first tactical unit which actually has own staff) and move in column. It is in Russian, but a lot of it is understood in terms of CO Decision, planning and shit like that. Simple stuff, no math is needed for DJT.
This is BEFORE the battalion does anything with piu piu and other exciting shit. A model of moving a whole damn tank army when need be--is a 320 kilometer march (in one day this formation of 951 tanks and self-propelled guns managed to cover more than 100 km) of Pavel Rotmistrov's 5th Tank Army which engaged Hausser's panzer Corps literally on the go. Rotmistrov's army lost almost a third of its tanks during this march. Pay attention to this chapter of Hausser's life--a reason why the US Army has no idea about the war on the Eastern Front and strongly believes that it won WW II.
But I digress. So, you get the idea about what it would be to move an army size formation to Kiev. Granted Russians want to take the city of almost 3 million, which they don't--only American generals who listened to Wehrmacht and SS generals fairy tales would believe that Russians want Kiev. But I am on record--operational planning? Nah, they don't know what this is.
Meanwhile, the warm up at the front is ongoing today--Konstantinovka-Pokrovsk axes.
More from today;
You see, Russians made a slight and very pleasant mistake, they slightly OVERestimated the staying power of the VSU and broke through faster than anticipated. Hey, not bad. What you see on the maps is called putting the enemy on the split and this exhausting pattern will continue until the order is given. What this order will be, we just have to wait and see. Tomorrow Donnie will be trying to "scare" Putin, LOL)) Donnie, get real military professionals into your Cabinet, albeit it is too late now.
Most likely the reaction after somebody finally told him about the REAL situation in 404 and informed him on situation in Kursk (it is dire for VSU) and elsewhere along the front. But one cannot escape the grim reality that the US (and its Europoodles) initiated this:
Moscow didn't react, as it shouldn't--all objectives of SMO will be met, simple as that.
... to would be Trump assassin Ryan Routh. Evidently the dude wrote a book. Through his writing you can immediately see a mentally unstable--thus easily manipulated by TPTB--person obsessed with 404.
He is a perfectly delusional man, who, when his recent "history" is considered, comes across as some "asset" of whatever the "agency" developed him. Now, the question--how did he know that DJT changed his plans and went to play golf? Good question, right? Meanwhile, the US is fast turning into the third world totalitarian nightmare.
You can find all necessary links at Larry's blog. But this is a fellow who was caught today trying to fire at Donald Trump. Here is an ass-hole.
Larry is 100% correct--send this mofo to his 'beloved" 404, preferably in Kursk or Kupyansk areas and see how he will face a real justice dispensed either by Russian Army's storm groups or by Mr. Iskander or Tornado. Read the whole thing at Larry's blog.
... as DJT uncovered--Barak Obama allowed Russians to steal American hypersonic technology.
This is why Russians are two generations ahead of the US in hypersonic technology, while originators of this technology--the United States that is--still cannot produce even "slow" hypersonic weapon. In related news, Russians also stole from the US supersonic smart missiles P-800 Onyx, and technology for S-400 and S-500. Russians also stole US victory over Hitler and those damn Russkies flew to space on a stolen American technology.
Not only Trump was the first man in space and the inventor of a diesel engine, not to mention his contribution to finding cure for cancer, he also played a crucial role in developing American cinematography. Recall another Trump-driven success of Back to the Future. Latest study of Trump's life revealed that he also was the producer of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, but due to his natural humbleness decided to give credit to his aid Alan Parsons. What a man!
Yes, Russians also stole Vostok capsule plans and launched Gagarin in it to become the first man in space from the US. Russians always steal American plans. Remember Stalingrad Battle and Operation Bagration plans? Russians stole those from America. Truth is, Russians defeating Napoleon? Stole those plans from America. Well, since Russians stole those plans of hypersonic missiles from America, we should reasonably expect American hypersonic weapons to be deployed right about now. Ah... wait.
Yeah, I am sure he would have tweeted it. He couldn't clean his own Administration because of his cowardice and now he pontificates, again... Don't they all understand that for the rest of the world they all look downright stupid and as petulant children? I guess they don't.
Eh, Donny, you did all you could to trash completely Russian-American relations, but, still, it is funny. This, however, is a sensible decision, because there is nothing to discuss.
Ah, Jen. First you need to stop your constant "Russia, Russia, Russia" shtick and then try to rebuild anew the art of diplomacy which is non-existent at this stage in the US, and then, maybe, elect a POTUS who remembers who he is and where he is? That could be a good start for the exercise of ideas about some summit in the future. For now, there is nothing to discuss. The "old" New World Order must go and it is being demolished as I type this now.
This routine is tired, and if McConville thinks that score-cards aren't being filled, he better refer to his West Point's history class to refresh when was the last time the United States really "gone to combat" to defend Chicago from being overtaken by hordes of barbarians, or what was that deal with famous Battle of Phoenix, Arizona where hundreds of thousands of "sons and daughters" of this land died defending this large urban center in a desert from bombardments and attacks by enemy aviation and tank armies. Hm. I am on record: NO American soldier fought in defense of the United States in modern history--zero, all American military deaths happened in the lands which, when mentioned as a clear and present danger to the American "security", would incite (and they did) a Homeric laughter in any company where one didn't spend last 50 years sleeping under the stone and has at least a half-year of basic military training.
Yet, they continue to appeal to this simulacrum of America's "national security", most of which is built around a whole host, not just one, of false premises, delusions and sheer economic interest and greed. I am sure the officer of McConville's rank and billet heard about geoeconomics. I, somewhat, empathize with him--after all, he is just a grunt, very high-positioned, but grunt nonetheless and he has to follow orders. In fact, he may be even a very decent man, who knows. But he also has to rationalize, somehow, America's rampage which saw millions upon millions of civilians killed, maimed, displaced, countries devastated and all in a time span of some shitty half-a-century--an instant in historic terms. All in the name of America's "national security", or democracy, or human rights or whatever is the fad. At least 50 years ago one could BS others about Soviet "menace", today it is China, Iran, Venezuela, Russia and the list goes on, and on, and on. And yes, one can lie to oneself and remain in denial for only so long, until cold hard facts of history, geopolitics and warfare begin to catch with one. I do not envy those who will face them and will have enough courage to judge things on the merit--that will be hard, very hard. But for now, the circus must go on and all hollow meaningless invocations delivered with proper conviction and pathos. And yes, there is a shitload of "military leaders" who want to fight wars, preferably not with peer, since it may interfere with their plans on having hefty sinecures on boards of all kinds military-industrial corporations and think-tanks which prompt those.
My new book is literally writing itself. I also was browsing few days ago Youtube and stumbled on this conversation by Stephen Walt, a notable "defensive realist" in US foreign policy academe.
What is remarkable about this video, though, is the fact of how, while Walt narrates, correctly, the events, he avoids almost completely a serious review of the causes of what he himself defines as failures by "US Foreign Policy Elite". Yes, "elite"; somebody somewhere (and we know many of their names and ranks) were moved by way more than mere "national interests" of the United States--do they even know what those are--and those motives and impetuses had a lot to do with greed, corruption, malfeasance and sheer ambition of mediocrities across the board--from political leadership, to intelligence, to military--who long ago betrayed not only their own country, but even the sense of self-preservation. No amount of emotional appeals can hide this truth. Especially when Trump plans to withdraw more troops from Iraq but, BUT...
