You Cannot Be Ready ...

 ... because you are a political whore and not military professional. 

BERLIN — Germany must prepare for a Russian attack by 2029 or even earlier, the head of the German army told POLITICO. "We have to be prepared ... We must be ready to fight," Lt. Gen. Christian Freuding, Germany’s army chief, said at the ILA aerospace show in Berlin. He said that there is broad allied consensus that Russia could attack NATO territory before the end of the decade.

This degenerate wouldn't be allowed to command a company in the Russian Army. 

Bundeswehr is a joke and so is Germany. And that will remain so. But if Germany wants to fight Russia--give Russians the time to save treasures of such places as Dresden National Gallery among few others and after that Russia will turn Germany into a parking lot. 

Meanwhile, 

MOSCOW, June 12 — RIA Novosti. Moscow does not want a war with NATO, said the Commander-in-Chief of the Joint Armed Forces of the alliance in Europe, Alexus Grinkevich, on the sidelines of the International Aerospace Exhibition (ILA) in Berlin. "I studied the intelligence very carefully. Russia does not seek conflict," he quotes as saying Financial Times.

Somebody has to tell this German imbecile what the US Military, without which Germany is nothing but a pip-squeak, thinks. But if he wants to fight Russia, sure. Germany asks for stone rearrangement for a long time now. 

That's Not Russia ...

 ... you dimwits, this is you--you are destroying, or rather destroyed, your own country, you are humiliating it. 

Germany has failed to win a temporary seat on the UN Security Council for the first time in modern history, losing a General Assembly vote to Austria and Portugal. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called the outcome “a real disappointment” and blamed Russia for the loss. “There is our firm support for Ukraine; the fact that Russia does not want such a voice at ​the Security Council,” he told reporters after the news broke. Portugal won 134 votes and Austria 131 in the contest for two seats allocated to the Western Europe and Others group, while Germany received only 104 votes in a secret ballot on Wednesday. Zimbabwe and Trinidad and Tobago were elected unopposed to seats reserved for Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean, respectively.

Germany learned nothing from WW II and it cannot be trusted with anything. Russia should maintain only a thin lifeline with a minority of normal Germans as contacts, while the rest of the country and German society disintegrate. 

Lavrov was explicit today: 

Lavrov: The EU under the current leadership is a cut off slice for diplomacy. 

Correct. They lost their countries (Germany, France, UK et al) and will fade into obscurity ... or will be eliminated. 

Yep, 100%.

That is exactly what it would have been without Obama's uncle who liberated Auschwitz. 

MOSCOW, May 9 - RIA Novosti. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who promised a conversation to Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, who chose Victory Day in the Russian Federation instead of Europe Day, noting that there would be no Europe Day without the USSR. Merz said at a press conference that Fico is waiting for a conversation about his visit to the Russian capital on Victory Day. "There would have been no Europe Day without the victory of the Soviet people. There would be one continuous concentration camp with gas chambers," she told RIA Novosti. 

And always remember, these were only Jews who have been exterminated, killing those subhuman Slavs, especially those 17 million primarily Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian civilians, and millions of Poles with Serbs do not count, because as you all know it was about Jews only/s. 

Meanwhile, Stalingrad (Volgograd) celebrates!!

Do they even know what Mamaev Kurgan is or do they teach them what Rodimtsev Division was in the US military academies. Do not answer ... 

Let Them Eat Cake(c)

No, this is not collision. This is stumping a real hyena of Europe. Many attribute this epithet to Poland when Churchill mentions Poland's "appetite like hyena's" prior to WW II in his memoirs. Reality, however, is different--WW II was Germany's "product" and Third Reich's appetites have been global. Germany learned absolutely nothing and in the post-WW II period and in its EU phase successfully stripped many European countries of their wealth and industries. Now, Germany, through Nazi offsprings, controls also European Commission. Unlike Germans, Russians learned their lessons and they now know that Germany is an existential enemy of Russia and no normal relations can exist between the two countries. 

Kazakhstan, meanwhile, for some reason decided that she can play, while being in Russia's underbelly. You have to also take numbers in this video with the grain of salt, especially since it originated in Reuters. However, the news for Kazakhstan (and Germany) are somewhat worrying. 

ASTANA, April 22 - RIA Novosti. Kazakhstan has not received official information from Russia about the termination of the transit of Kazakh oil through the Druzhba pipeline to Germany, said the Minister of Energy of the Republic Yerlan Akkenzhenov. Earlier, Reuters reported thatRussiawill allegedly stop the transit of Kazakh oil toGermanyon the Druzhba oil pipeline from May 1 of this year. Press Secretary of the President of RussiaDmitry PeskovThe day before, he indicated that he was not ready to answer this question and needed to contact the "appropriate companies".

But then, RIA continues: 

"There have been no official statements from the Russian side yet. But according to unofficial sources, we know that this is true. For the month of May, we have transit through Atyrau-Samara, then the Druzhba oil pipeline and then goes to the Schwedt plant (refinery in Germany - ed.). We have zero in May," Akkenzhenov said.

Russia doesn't want to kill Germans. But Germany is existential enemy of Russia and is doing all it can to unleash another war on the continent apart from SMO. In this case, in order to not physically annihilating Germany, the other, more humane way is to choke off Berlin until it either removes its political regime and comes to its senses, or ... well, you know the drill or as Vladimir Putin stated, and I quote, this is full quote unlike snippets from Western media whores:

"We are not going to fight with Europe, I have already said this a hundred times. But if Europe suddenly wants to fight and starts, we are ready right now. With Ukraine, we are acting there surgically, carefully, so that... well, I understand, right? This is not a war in the direct, modern sense of the word. If Europe suddenly wants to start a war and starts it, then a situation may very quickly arise in which we will have no one to negotiate with"

While there is a talk of Kazakh oil being "redistributed" and that it "doesn't affect" anything and is "purely technical issue", the message is clear--Russia can make Europe's life miserable even without weapons. In related news:

Make your own conclusions. 

This Is Not News ...

 ... really. It has been known for a long time and that is what has been considered by Russia's strategic planners since 2013 at least, in reality since 2008. 

Former Texas Representative Ron Paul said the U.S. economic order rests on “fraud” rooted in the 1971 break from gold and warned that the current system is nearing its end, in a wide-ranging 90th-birthday interview on The Tucker Carlson Podcast released Thursday. Paul, a Republican-turned-Libertarian-turned-Republican, tied his warning to the end of dollar convertibility into gold under President Richard Nixon, calling it the nation’s “first declaration of bankruptcy,” and argued that persistent money printing and deficits have created a brittle order primed for a severe correction.

The US has been into FIRE economy transition since 1980s, but it was in 1990s when the process of deindustrialization and Wall Streetization of the economy went into the overdrive. Today we have economy of this type:

With a bunch of morons who continue to believe in gimmicks and the idea that you can "make money" which are not supported by anything other than zeros in computers. As long as "growth" was provided by inflating the capitalization of some pseudo-techno mambo-jumbo they thought they should be fine. Well, no. Ponzi schemes do not last long. For a country such as the US 50 years is a short time. So, the chickens are coming home to roost. That also has been demonstrated by SMO. 

Meanwhile, 404 is now "drafting" ... midgets, FFS. 

Meanwhile: 

A majority of Germans support direct talks between German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Russian President Vladimir Putin on ending the Ukraine conflict, the DPA news agency reported on Thursday, citing a recent YouGov poll. Some 58% of respondents said they would somewhat or strongly support such negotiations, according to the survey. Just over a quarter of respondents opposed the idea. Support for direct talks was especially high among Merz’ conservative voters, with 64% responding positively. The YouGov survey was conducted online over four days last week among more than 2,000 Germans.

There is one, well--two problems with that. There cannot be a "dialogue" anymore, only reading of the articles of capitulation. But most important one--majority of Russians do not want this "dialogue", they didn't forget German Leopards in Kursk Oblast. It is all too little, too late. This doesn't mean that normal Germans will not be met in Russia with open arms when immigrating, but Germany as an entity and as a nation is Russia's existential enemy, as is most of Europe. 

Tucker, Karaganov IS NOT ...

... and never was "political adviser" to Vladimir Putin. He is mentally deranged boy from Soviet nomenklatura with zero military experience, let alone in nuclear weapons and everything he spews is the result of his deranged mind. Utterly militarily incompetent. He is a sort of a demagogue akin to Dugin--same origin in privileged Soviet nomenklatura class, same useless "edukeishn" in bullshit such as "political science" et al, same set of connections in Moscow's "elite". I have news--Russia IS NOT going to be using nuclear weapons on anyone unless it meets criteria prescribed in Russian Military Doctrine and Nuclear Policy. Karaganov knows NOTHING about military but he rubs shoulders with some generals and admirals. He mistook it for professionalism.

I want to remind, Tucker, something about the likes of Karaganov by Hofstadter. 

. . . the complexity of modern life has steadily whittled away the functions the ordinary citizen can intelligently and comprehendingly perform for himself. In the original American populistic dream, the omnicompetence of the common man was fundamental and indispensable. It was believed that he could, without much special preparation, pursue the professions and run the government. Today he knows that he cannot even make his breakfast without using devices, more or less mysterious to him, which expertise has put at his disposal; and when he sits down to breakfast and looks at his morning newspaper, he reads about a whole range of vital and intricate issues and acknowledges, if he is candid with himself, that he has not acquired competence to judge most of them.

The whole class of journos, political "scientists", sociologists, historians and "economists" has been exposed as people with primarily fraudulent backgrounds who cannot grasp the events of today and nutjobs like Karaganov are driven by ambition and ... ignorance aptly mixed with lies. But then again, every village needs its own corps of idiots. 

Yes, And?

It seems that Germany still cannot resign itself to the idea that it is not that important technologically. 

Yes, not only Russia can "track" satellites--all of them--she can destroy them from the ground up to 650 kilometers in space, or anywhere by the so called "inspector" satellite. The situation will get even worse by 2030 since Russia will be ready to start tests for its orbital and deep space nuclear tug Zevs (Zeus) which will be able to do just about anything. Yes, Germany still makes decent rolling stock and overpriced and overrated refrigerators, commercial and combat aerospace--that's a whole different level of scientific and industrial expertise. Do a forensic mental experiment--ask yourself a question if Germany can built and sustain completely out of her own resources a space station. Yes, it can--30+ years, soup kitchens and general collapse of economy. Then--maybe. That's your answer. 

This, as well as this--that's how superpowers look. Germany is not the one. 

The construction starts in 2027-28. While Russia continues to sustain ISS. That's called technological Bundesliga, its Bayern Munich. 

I Liked This Comment ...

 ... so many times Russia extended the hand of help and friendship only to treat it for bites. Nothing ever compares with treason of Germany. 

Yes, And?

Germany is accelerating towards the future envisioned in 1945 by Morgenthau Plan. Building heavily export-oriented economy while having no resources of her own and breaking off relations with Russia--what did you expect was going to happen? 

The industrial group Thyssenkrupp is facing a drastic restructuring. The Executive Board around CEO Miguel Lopez (60) wants to convert the company into a holding company and thus create the basis to sell more parts, as BILD has learned from company circles. The headquarters is to be reduced from the current 500 to 100 employees, and further cuts are planned in the administration with around 1000 employees. "All that remains is an umbrella company without content," says a person familiar with the processes. With this, Lopez heralds the end for a company that is linked to German history like no other. In the blast furnaces of Krupp (founded in 1811) and Thyssen (1891), the iron was melted that made the country's rise to industrial status in the 19th century possible. But they also forged the weapons for the First World War and later for the Nazis.

Russians made a huge mistake by believing Germany. Not anymore. Russia, as was always the case, opens her doors to Germans who see their future as Germans but in Russia, the rest of Germany will eventually transform itself into the version of Bob Fosse's Cabaret (a euphemism for the debauchery of Weimar) and into a collective Julian Roepke. That will conclude the WW II. The rest will be for Oreshnik, RS-28 Sarmat and Kalibrs to keep that territory in check. Just in case. 

Only Sublime Would Doubt It.

This is also about hysterical posts elsewhere on this blog, that Russia talking (mind you--just talking with the US) about hypothetical relaunch of NS-2 somehow will contribute to "rearming" EU. It will not, due to the fact that EU, even if to imagine that NS-2 (2 out 4 pipes) will be relaunched, will continue to buy gas at a market price--that is very expensive. And here we are. 

Minister of Defense Boris Pistorious shut down suggestions that Germany could reverse its decision to buy the F-35A Lightning II following recent tensions between Europe and the United States. Speaking to German media, Pistorious said “The United States is and will remain an important ally for us – also for the Bundeswehr’s equipment. This applies not only to the F-35, but also to our other projects”. Proposals to cancel Germany’s order for 35 F-35A Lightning IIs have come while the current defense and security relationship between the United States and Europe faces criticism from high ranking members of the new U.S. administration.

EU cannot "rearm" itself for the real war. It is still stuck in the warfare of the 1990s with capabilities, or rather lack thereof, matching those 1990s views. So, chihuahuas will continue to buy expensive and unreliable US weapons and they still don't have capability to move into the XXI century, period. 

Meanwhile, brand new German coal power plant (6 years) is demolished a few days back. 

Germany is over. 

I Wouldn't Expect Anything Less ....

 ... from Germany. 

The German government has been coercing Afghan refugees into fighting for Ukraine, a source has claimed to RT. The scheme allegedly targets refugees who have been detained for various crimes, with the threat of deportation if they refuse to comply. According to an individual whose identity cannot be disclosed for security reasons, the “German authorities are forcing Afghan migrants to join the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine in order to urgently replenish the personnel of the Kiev regime’s armed forces, which is experiencing an acute shortage of people.” The scheme supposedly involves approximately 2,300 refugees detained by German police for various crimes in cities such as Berlin, Bonn, Cologne, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt am Main, and Stuttgart.

Which merely supports my thesis about Europe having a visceral hatred for Russians not just as the result of brainwashing, always present, but as Europe's organic, natural state of both racial and cultural hatred deeply rooted in historic experiences and views.  

For Europeans it is about simply harming Russians and for average Euro death and carnage in the East are the least of their concerns--the more Russian civilians die, the merrier. For the most part, bar the strata of educated or people capable of critical thinking and ethics in Europe, majority responds only to the external economic stimuli and has no compunction about anything. It is a cold hard fact which has to be always considered when talking about any kind of relations between West and the rest of the world. 

In other news, I am going to be making video on this tomorrow. It is absolutely ridiculous. 

The EU must cut its reliance on US-made weapons and prioritize European alternatives, French President Emmanuel Macron has said. In an interview with French media published on Saturday, Macron argued that the bloc’s rearmament efforts would be more effective if member states stopped “buying American” and instead turned to the EU's military industrial complex.  

Somebody tell this moron, that Rafale, while a decent plane, is NOT fifth generation and he better take a look at this: 

Yes, it is French AF and all of it is made in America. from airframe of B-707 (with new engines) to the most important part--Radar and signal processing. Also, good luck Europe developing own serious ISR satellite constellation. 

Aaaand?

Newsweek, this collection of neocon retards and Kiev regime propaganda outlet, makes a sensation out of nothing. 

Vladimir Solovyov, a Russian state TV host and key ally to Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Moscow could "erase" Germany "off the face of the earth" during a recent broadcast. Newsweek reached out to the German embassy for comment via email on Thursday.

Yes, and I don't see what's the problem. Russia can "erase" not only Germany, but the whole of Europe and the US. As much as I abhor this hysterical specimen Solovyov (he IS NOT Putin's ally and, in fact, the opposite--but that's Newsweek, only cretins work there to know anything) factually he is absolutely correct. I also agree with him that Germany is Russia's existential enemy and will remain so no matter what. AfD is irrelevant here, because majority of Germany voted for the same shit again. Only former GDR voted for AfD. It is too late to save Germany anyway. So, what's the big deal, Newsweek, a slow news day? 

This Is an Absolute Gold)))

It fits so perfectly. 

Пресс-секретарь Белого дома Кэролайн Левитт призвала канцлера ФРГ Олафа Шольца следить за своими высказываниями, заявив, что единственное место Германии на переговорах по Украине – это скамья подсудимых. «Канцлер, вам следует тщательно подбирать слова. Единственное место, которого заслуживает Германия на этих переговорах, – это скамья подсудимых», – сообщила Левитт в Instagram (принадлежит Meta – организация признана экстремистской и запрещена в РФ). Такоим образом пресс-секретарь Белого дома отреагировала на речь Шольца на Мюнхенской конференции по безопасности. Он заявил, что Германия не поддержит «навязанный мир» в ситуации вокруг Украины. «Мы не примем никакого решения, которое приведет к разделению европейской и американской безопасности», – сказал канцлер.

Translation: White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt called on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to watch his words, saying that Germany's only place in the Ukraine talks is in the dock (the bench for the accused in courtroom). "Chancellor, you should choose your words carefully. The only place Germany deserves in these negotiations is in the dock," Levitt wrote on Instagram (owned by Meta, an organization recognized as extremist and banned in Russia). In this way, the White House Press Secretary responded to Scholz's speech at the Munich Security Conference. He said that Germany would not support an "imposed peace" in the situation around Ukraine. "We will not accept any decision that would lead to a division of European and American security," the Chancellor said.

Europe in general and Germany (especially Germany) in particular evidently do not understand the situation they are all in. E.g. this dumb bitch Baerbock calling on attacking deep into Russia doesn't understand that she literally risks her worthless life because, in the best-case scenario for her, she will end up in the dock, in the worst, for her, she will be simply eliminated as a terrorist asset, which she surely is, as is most of German political "elite". Most of them are war criminals and should be treated as such, including Angela Merkel. The more things change in Germany, the more they stay the same--visceral hatred of Russians and treachery. Munich speech by Scholz ... what does it remind me of, hm ...

And why is it always Munich?

I Agree With The Title.

About Germany. 

It doesn't matter who comes to power in Germany, national consensus (yes, including the majority of population) is to settle score with Russia. It is a way to deal with WW II trauma. Germany as a nation is Russia's enemy.

It Is Obviously Putin's Fault.

 Or, generally speaking, of Russia. 

Because, you know, these were Russians who set political agenda in Germany and who voted for Germany's political parties. In the end, Germany has this... philosopher in charge of own economy, or rather what's left of it.

Germany's reliance on China, Russia was like being 'doped': vice chancellor. Berlin to push ahead with derisking, doesn't face structural recession: Robert Habeck

Yes, he is absolutely correct, Germany already lost Russian market (solvent and largest in Europe as a single country), now they will try to lose Chinese one. Not to mention the fact that Germany is increasingly non-competitive with pretty much anyone. Germany's pride of her automotive industry and Siemens... well, Russia is doing just fine without them. China... look at it...

Pretty much speaks for itself. And you already heard this news:

WOLFSBURG, Germany, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) plans to shut at least three factories in Germany, lay off tens of thousands of staff and shrink its remaining plants in Europe's biggest economy as it plots a deeper-than-expected overhaul, the company's works council head said on Monday. Europe's biggest carmaker has been negotiating for weeks with unions over plans to revamp its business and cut costs, including considering plant closures on home soil for the first time, in a blow to Germany's industrial prowess.

Make your own conclusions on this matter. I am sure that also will be blamed on Russia...

Who Would Have Thought.

Germans begin to smell desperation descending over the land of Bismarck and Goethe. Desperate times--desperate measures. It is too late now, but as the wisdom goes--better late than never. 

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder remains a valued member of the country’s ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD) despite narrowly avoiding expulsion over his refusal to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin, the SPD’s new general secretary has said. Asked by Germany’s Stern magazine whether there was room for Schroeder in the senior ranks of the SPD, incoming General Secretary Matthias Miersch replied “Yes. Otherwise Gerhard Schroeder would have had to be expelled from the party.” Miersch, who was named as the party’s new leader earlier this month, told Stern on Monday that he can appreciate Schroeder’s “life’s work as a whole… even if I have a fundamentally different view on Putin and the attack on Ukraine.” Miersch listed Schoeder’s refusal to take part in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, his endorsement of same-sex partnerships, and his funding of schools as some of the former chancellor’s crowning achievements. “We never did politics together, but like many others, I was able to build on his work,” Miersch added.

Really? "able to build on his work"--fuck me ten ways over this afternoon. Gerhard Schroeder and Vladimir Putin are very good personal friends, and it was on Schroeder's watch that so much was accomplished in Russian-German relations. SPD and Grune unholy alliance finished Germany off. Now, when the prospects of Germany becoming a third world country begin to look all too real and Russians now burn German Leopards in 404, they recognized that they need energy. Well, it doesn't work like this--Germany has committed a treason of relations and now is Russia's enemy. So, SPD tries to engage with one of a very few honorable men in Germany's otherwise brothel of perverts and fanatics who populate Germany's political "elite". Nope, doesn't work like this. For majority of Russians Germany is the enemy and will remain so for generations. Everything else flows from this.

She Is Absolutely Correct...

 ... one of rare occasions when this uneducated bimbo got it right. For all the wrong reasons, of course, but right nevertheless. 

BERLIN, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin is not willing to speak with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on the topic of brokering peace in Ukraine, Germany's foreign minister said on Friday. "Ukraine is ready for a just peace," Annalena Baerbock said in Berlin, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is expected to hold talks with Scholz on Friday.Speaking alongside the foreign minister of Slovakia, Baerbock criticised Putin for rejecting overtures for peace talks.

Absolutely correct. E.g. if I need to discuss the issue of property demarcation and maintenance with my neighbor--I go and talk to her (wonderful old lady), but not to her French poodle. So obvious, I talk to the owner, not to some lap dog who decides nothing. Then she continues. 

"He refuses to accept peace and every day sends another signal in favour of war and destruction. These days, he is no longer even prepared to speak to the German chancellor on the phone," she said.

Aw, poor baby, she still didn't get the message that Germany is irrelevant already and will become fully non-entity very soon. The only interest the Germany presents for serious geopolitical players is who will import the last remaining morsels of increasingly unsustainable and non-competitive German industry while Germany runs itself, completely on own volition, into the Morgenthau Plan. It got delayed in 1945 due to humanity of Ike and of Soviet leadership--recall Stalin's sacramental "Hitlers come and go, but the German people and the German state remain". As it became clear now--Germany learned absolutely nothing and substituted Nazism for uber-liberal fascism. The Nazi seed was preserved by the US. Don't be fooled by AfD's narrow victories in Brandenburg and Thuringia--this is a former GDR which was allowed to remain German the way Germany should have been reborn. Not without its problems, of course, but the rest of Germany--it hates Russia. It is just that this time around Russians wouldn't need to take Berlin, again--it takes between 5 to 15 minutes to settle the issue once and for all. 

 

Back to UVZ's 88th BDay. 

Here's Leopard tank, delivered 10 days ago to UVZ. To study. Well, those Leopards didn't fare well against Russian weaponry in SMO. German engineering is like a Mercedes--overpriced, over-engineered, overrated and pain in the ass to fix. Some things never change, I guess.

Too Late For Germany...

 ... when you are born a liver sausage, you stay a liver sausage all your life. 

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz doubled down Friday on Berlin's refusal to send long-range missiles to Ukraine, even as other Western powers discussed allowing Kyiv more freedom to use such weapons. "Germany has made a clear decision about what we will do and what we will not do. This decision will not change," Scholz said when asked about the issue at a press conference. The leaders of the United States and Britain were due to meet Friday in Washington on whether to let Kyiv fire Western-provided long-range missiles into Russia -- an option that has sent tensions soaring with Moscow.

There will be no friendly relations between Germany and Russia again. Plus, the sausage states those things not because of some moment of clarity but because of sheer terror. As Dmitry Medvedev today revealed some shocking technological truths in his statement: 

Что тут скажешь: ядерный конфликт действительно никому не нужен. Это очень плохая история с тяжелейшим исходом. Именно поэтому до сих пор решение о применении ядерного оружия (нестратегического или тем более стратегического) не было принято. Хотя, прямо скажем, для этого есть формальные предпосылки, понятные всему мировому сообществу и соответствующие нашей доктрине ядерного сдерживания. Тот же Курск, например. Но Россия проявляет терпение. Ведь очевидно, что ядерный ответ – чрезвычайно сложное решение с необратимыми последствиями. Однако напыщенные англосаксонские недоноски не хотят признать одного: любому терпению приходит конец. А правы в итоге окажутся те умеренные западные аналитики, которые предупреждали: «Да, русские, скорее всего, не ответят таким образом… хотя вероятность всё же есть. К тому же ведь ответ может быть и с использованием новых средств доставки в неядерном оснащении».

Translation: What can you say: a nuclear conflict is really not needed by anyone. It is a very bad story with a very difficult outcome. That is why the decision to use nuclear weapons (non-strategic or even more so strategic) has not been made yet. Although, frankly speaking, there are formal prerequisites for this, understandable to the entire world community and consistent with our doctrine of nuclear deterrence. The same Kursk, for example. But Russia is showing patience. After all, it is obvious that a nuclear response is an extremely difficult decision with irreversible consequences. However, the pompous Anglo-Saxon runts do not want to admit one thing: any patience comes to an end. And in the end, those moderate Western analysts who warned will be right: “Yes, the Russians will most likely not respond in this way ... although there is still a possibility. In addition, the response may also be using new delivery vehicles with non-nuclear equipment.”

OK, just adds to the already extremely strong case of NATO losing arms race everywhere and confirms long time circulating rumors about new generation of explosives and delivery systems which will additionally turn warfare into some sort of sci-fi, however gruesome, affair. Thus, Larry's headline is correct:

Following Putin’s Warning that Any Attacks in Russia with Western Supplied Missiles will be Treated as an Act of War, NATO Flips. 

That is why today's Ira Alksnis' excellent piece echoes what I am repeating ad nauseam for many years:

На самом же деле медиа всегда вторичны по отношению к реальному миру. Пропаганда способна влиять на действительность только до той степени, до которой она соответствует ей. На пике однополярного мира Штаты были почти всемогущими, соответственно и их информационное и идеологическое влияние было колоссальным. Но тот однополярный мир уже фактически прекратил свое существование, а вместе с ним сжимаются и возможности западных медиа.

Translation: In reality, the media are always secondary to the real world. Propaganda can influence reality only to the extent that it corresponds to it. At the peak of the unipolar world, the United States was almost omnipotent, and accordingly, its informational and ideological influence was colossal. But that unipolar world has already effectively ceased to exist, and with it, the capabilities of Western media are shrinking.

 

Real life is hard, as are real complex skills required for operating modern society successfully--modern West doesn't have those anymore. BS, propaganda, on the other hand, it has a lot. And it is paying the price for it.

I Am Not A Specialist...

 ... in German politics, which is bordering on schizophrenic, but AfD is NOT a "far right" Party. 

Germany’s far-Right party is on course to win an election in a state parliament for the first time since the Nazi era. Exit polls predicted the anti-immigration AfD gained some 33 per cent of the vote in Thuringia, with the mainstream conservative Christian Democrat (CDU) party polling at around 23 per cent. The CDU, however, ruled out a coalition on Sunday evening, meaning the AfD was locked out of power. In a further blow, the AfD appeared to be narrowly losing to the CDU, Angela Merkel’s former party, in the state of Saxony where it was projected to make a breakthrough.

"Far Right" is a misnomer as is sticking "Far Left" label to such tabloids as NYT or WaPo. All of them are globalist, while AfD is merely a conservative (moderately) party which is akin to a band-aid applied to the area of metastasized stage 4 malignant tumor. I understand that many Germans read me, but Germany is done, sorry to say that, but this was Germany's choice and of its cowardly "elite". So, it really makes no difference who comes to "power" there, it is Germany's population which wanted the "prosperity" to last, obviously at the expense of others. A few islands of common sense here and there in Germany change absolutely nothing. The country will either disintegrate (or rather, decompose) or it will be turned into a large totalitarian prison. The process is underway... Hm, Thuringia, former GDR.

Stating Obvious...

 ... is not a science. Sabine may have Ph.D in Theoretical Physics but she oozes classic German lefty not understanding that she is herself a part of the problem being a conduit of social and economic policies (yes, Eco-friendly BS, which killed Germany) which killed (it is a fait accompli) Germany. 

Germany should be embarrassed for being a slap-bitch of the US, being an occupied country, being de-industrialized, having Grune Party, having never learned proper economics and geopolitics. So, Ph.D in physics doesn't prevent one from being stupid and brainwashed. But at least she asks right questions now. It is too late to ask them, but at least she may claim some scientific integrity to her argument in the middle of the accelerating collapse. I have some very bad news for her... and Germany.
