History Repeats Itself First As Tragedy ...

 ... then--as farce. Well, Pentagon writes new military doctrine. This is from the New York Times. We are now beyond the farce phase. 

Iran has bombed U.S. bases across the Middle East in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli war, forcing many American troops to relocate to hotels and office spaces throughout the region, according to military personnel and American officials. So now much of the land-based military is, in essence, fighting the war while working remotely, with the exception of fighter pilots and crews operating and maintaining warplanes and conducting strikes.

Yes, remotely, working. New tactical and operational methods are being developed by Pentagon--remote deployment of Motorrifle Battalion from the assembly area in UAE Hilton to Kuwait Sheraton. This is a new word in military science. Well, of course it is not--it is all about spinning a catastrophic defeat for the US and Israel, here is the mayor of a heavily damaged Israeli city or Margaliot demands BiBi and his terrorists to do something about defending Israeli cities, which are being destroyed. 

He even cries. But no help is coming. There is nothing in US-Israeli arsenal which can stop Iranian strikes. 

In related news, Russia blew up to smithereens several SBU locations in 404 and suddenly many medical emergency vehicles have been noted around those locations and then ... then ... several medical aircraft flew to Rzeszów. As was stated by me many times--Russians know identities and locations of those MI6 and CIA dudes in 404. Mr Bortnikov (Director of FSB) four days ago reiterated Russia's position: 

Russia can bring the Ukrainian special services and their Western "puppeteers", primarily British, to their senses, said FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov. According to FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov, Russia can bring the Ukrainian special services and their Western curators, primarily British, to their senses, RIA Novosti reports. According to him, Russia is able to act within reason, despite constant provocations and attempts to force any retaliatory steps. Bortnikov stressed: "Of course, we can. So, within reason, of course. We are constantly provoked to take some steps, some actions," this phrase sounded in response to a question from journalist Pavel Zarubin.

What is this "within the reason" he mentions? Well, sending "messages" by the stand-off weapons. This is in response to people who constantly suffer from sensory deprivation and want to see a Hollywoodesque "war". Well, there is war and it is fought in all domains simultaneously. Russians prefer not to advertise their actions because this is the only way to fight it. But yes, MI6 and SAS have been warned, now actions followed. More to come. 

Look At Her.

Definitely some issues you can see a mile away.

She is new MI6 Chief who has a long bloodline tied to Nazis (how appropriate for MI6) although she said it never affected her. But Metreweli's background is that of a classic product of British degree mills (look up her CV) and that is why she primarily purges hot air from the organization known primarily for terrorism and self-promotion through all kinds of cringe-inducing media tricks, not least through James Bond saga. 

The new head of MI6 will on Monday attack an “aggressive, expansionist” Russia, warning Vladimir Putin that Britain’s spies will not abandon Ukraine. In her first speech from the MI6 headquarters, Blaise Metreweli will declare Britain’s commitment to Kyiv is steadfast, saying: “Putin should be in no doubt, our support is enduring. The pressure we apply on Ukraine‘s behalf will be sustained.”

This is very rich coming from the country which doesn't have functional Armed Forces and is sliding, very fast, into the third world status, but still pretends that it can control the world as if living in the Victorian Era, or in Norma Desmond's alternative universe. But again, you cannot explain to MI6 or those graduates of the Defense Academy of the UK, that everything they know about warfare are primarily fairy tales. Term "sustained" coming from present day UK is down right funny, or maybe just preposterous. Especially against the background of the latest statements by Sergei Lavrov--about Europe blowing its chances--and then Alexei Miller explaining to Europe its future. It is in my upcoming video today. 

Meanwhile, how Russian FSB works, here is a demonstration of the modern world filled with media. One is from 2024 in Sudzha Kursk Oblast--a VSU terrorist mocking robbed Russian convenience store Pyaterochka, and then--today's (or very recent) video of the same "brave" warrior facing life in prison. 

Per British "Army" troops and all kinds of other SAS and SBS in 404--all will be hunted down and killed. Well, Hooley ... if you know what I mean in Russian. 

So, It Is Reported ...

 ... that the high level Russian official who was supposed to be assassinated by GUR (in reality MI6/CIA) ... well, read yourself. 

MOSCOW, Nov 18 - RIA Novosti. A sabotage group, acting in Moscow on the instructions of the Ukrainian special services, was preparing an assassination attempt on the life of the Secretary of the Russia's Security Council Sergei Shoigu at the Troekurovskoye cemetery, the newspaper Moskovsky  Komsomolets" claims. 

(Organized by Kyiv. — Ed. Ed.) sabotage group <... > was preparing an assassination attempt on the secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation at the Troyekurovskoye cemetery Sergei Shoigu", the newspaper said in a statement.

So, somebody in ... not in Kiev (those there already know or sense what's coming to them) but in London and D.C. despite Naryshkin's characterization lacks proper understanding, being fed incessant propaganda and lacking grasp of the proceedings, so to speak, of what, should that terrorist act have succeeded, would follow. I do not want to get into the details of this, but the names of who in the West is behind these types of "operations" are well known. 

Ah, wait--look at this: 

Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has joined the advisory board of Ukraine’s leading defense company, renowned for its long-range drones capable of striking targets deep inside Russia, as a corruption investigation continues. In an effort to enhance its international reputation, Fire Point is establishing a new factory in Denmark and bringing prominent industry figures on board. It also aims to expand its operations to produce battle-tested cruise missiles, with plans to more than double its current capacity. However, public scrutiny remains intense during an ongoing corruption investigation. Fire Point’s executives insist they have nothing to hide and are operating under strict martial law protocols, even commissioning an independent audit to appease investigators. Critics, however, question the company’s opaque origins and the monopoly of its contracts with the Defense Ministry, and point to alleged links to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ’s notorious associate Tymur Mindich, who is implicated in a major corruption scandal.

Hm, Mike Pompeo--a fanatical Zionist and a product of the USMA at West Point at the time when it started going down hill academically. We all saw the "products" of that generation of graduates (1980s on) elsewhere. So, Pompeo, who is a lawyer and a former CIA Director doesn't understand the point I make non-stop--drones are but a part of the RUK/ROK and in terms of any actual impact on the military-industrial capacity of Russia have negligible effect if any because of the subject which is "taught" in the US military establishment based on fairy tales from Kiev, I am talking about Air Defense, of course. In other words, NATO as a whole has neither resources nor expertise (both military and industrial-scientific) to produce weapons which affect military outcomes on only levels which matter--strategic-operational. So, as was stated not for once, the only weapon they have is terrorism, which is the weapon of the weak. 

If only they all knew that the overwhelming majority of extermination of Nazi army in 404 is done by Russian barrel and rocket artillery and stand-off weaponry. But you cannot stick camera to each 152-mm round or Iskander, so the UAVs take the stage. 

There Is No Sensation.

 Western Allies after WW II have been enamored with Nazis and as a result cooperated in saving very many of those under different pretexts. Enough to take a look at US Army History Department where Wehrmacht "victorious" marshals and generals wrote "history" and operational "art" for the US Army and then the defensive doctrine for NATO as a whole. Now this is just another footnote: 

Blaise Metreweli, who is scheduled to take over leadership of the UK’s foreign intelligence service (MI6) in October, is the granddaughter of a Nazi collaborator who oversaw atrocities in occupied Ukraine during World War Two, the Daily Mail has revealed.

Of course, British rushed to print a classic "anti-Nazi" trope.

Ms. Metreweli cannot be judged for the sins of her grandfather,” the paper stated. “One of our nation’s most formidable intelligence operatives, she has served her country with distinction on dangerous operations for MI6 across Europe and the Middle East for two decades.”

Well, MI6 "dangerous operations" are primarily those of terrorism and false flags and killing Skripal's cat and, likely, their family. So the backgrounds of Metreweli and MI6 are match made in hell, but then again--this is UK. 

British parliament is one step behind Canada in cheering for Nazis.

But that is not what really matters today. Recall all kinds of BS from no less than tabloids such as WSJ or The Economist et al that Russia is spending up to 40% of her GDP on SMO and that "Putin's regime" is about to be overthrown by the crowds of poor and hungry Russians. Yes, that's also the level of West's intel services and military "grasp" of all things real. Well, here is Vladimir Putin verbatim today:

Путин заявил, что расходы на оборону достигли 13,5 трлн рублей, что составляет 6,3% ВВП, передает РИА «Новости». По его словам, общий объем ВВП страны составляет 223 трлн рублей, а доля оборонных расходов оценивается как значительная. «Мы заплатили за это инфляцией, но мы сейчас боремся с этой инфляцией», – сказал российский лидер. Он также заявил, что власти России целенаправленно идут к тому, чтобы обеспечить «мягкую посадку» экономики. Президент добавил, что государство здраво оценивает текущую экономическую ситуацию. Ранее Путин назвал расходы на оборону в России некритичными.

Translation: Putin said that defense spending has reached 13.5 trillion rubles, which is 6.3% of GDP, RIA Novosti reports. According to him, the country's total GDP is 223 trillion rubles, and the share of defense spending is estimated as significant. "We paid for this with inflation, but we are now fighting this inflation," the Russian leader said. He also said that the Russian authorities are purposefully moving to ensure a "soft landing" for the economy. The president added that the state is sensibly assessing the current economic situation. Earlier, Putin called defense spending in Russia non-critical.

So, here is your "revelation" about why Russia can do it as long as she needs to (for years). But then again, where will all those Western "strategists", "economists" and "military analysts" find better sinecures than in US and UK "think tanks" for retards, because most of them will not be allowed to fix plumbing in the house, with plumbing being a really complex and in-demand skill.

404 Mobilization...

 ... or as it is known as mogilization (mogila being a grave), because most "mobilized" know that meeting Russian Army is one way ticket to the... grave. 

But never mind, these two big "intel" honchos of CIA and MI6 surely know what war is, right? Right? Nah, they don't, both are whiteboard "theoreticians" in whatever--look at the background of this guy--and merely run what amounts to propaganda outlets. But this is the human material they want to take the war to ordinary Russians with. Judging by the "performance" of  Anglo-American "troops" in Kursk they are good primarily for torturing POWs, civilians and raping women. Staying power? Not so much. So, that is why they need "mogilization". The problem for them is that 404's human resource is nearing its end.

As If Trying To Prove...

... my point with Nima about once great Britain:  

The former MI6 big honcho decides to demonstrate why my point is valid and UK is nothing but military-economic chihuahua. 

When it comes to the U.K., Dearlove identifies a gap between words and actions, between warnings — like Secretary of State for Defence Grant Shapps’ stating Britain needs to decide “whether to surrender to a sea of troubles or do everything we can to deter the danger”— and actually taking effective steps to be prepared. “If you stopped anyone in the street here in the U.K. and asked them whether they thought Britain is at war, they’d look at you as if you were mad,” Dearlove said. “But we are at war — we’re engaged in a gray war with Russia, and I am trying to remind people of that.” ... But the former MI6 head does draw some comfort from what Central European and Baltic nations are doing, praising Poland in particular for reaching a record-high level of defense spending within NATO. Poland is now spending nearly 4 percent of GDP on defense, and just this week, President Andrzej Duda warned that “Russia’s imperialistic ambitions and aggressive revisionism are pushing Moscow toward a direct confrontation with NATO, with the West and, ultimately, with the whole free world.”

Dearlove is a poor poor dear who still cannot resign himself to the fact that UK cannot do anything BUT to be at "gray war" with Russia, because the only thing UK can do "militarily" is terrorism and pray that the "gray war" doesn't turn a real one. Dearlove, having no real education--a feature, not a bug--and spending some time as MI6 head during Iraq invasion where he was cooking "intelligence", because modern MI6 cannot intel anything, is utterly unqualified as are most of UK "analytical" institutions ranging from MI6 to RUSI, to Chatham House, to have even remotely objective picture of the outside world of the XXI century warfare and economies. This is a gene in UK, it is its cultural DNA to view herself as important and believe all kinds of BS just to insulate themselves from a cruel reality of UK being reduced to a largely shithole with good football stadiums. 

UK may increase her defense budget whatever--2-3-5%--it would make no difference whatsoever because she can produce next to nothing which really matters on the modern battlefield. Let alone sustain it for... two days. The degeneration, the precipitous decline of Britain and her media-political class in the last 20 years is astonishing and there is no coming back from it because it is a result of steady accumulation of the critical mass of shitty higher education, grabbing onto a chimera of past greatness, which is not there, and of debilitating bitterness, which went critical. Well, just to demonstrate deep running incompetence, now a tradition, of British, here is from great Correlli Barnett who documented British "intel" on the eve of the WW II. 

How typically British--to grossly overestimate oneself and grossly underestimate Russia. They never learn. But then again, I am on record--Oxford or King's College, bar STEM and maybe law, are degree mills.

A Mistake...

Colonel still thinks that Putin is some naive guy who waits for the political change in Europe, thus, for now, avoiding large offensive operations. Nothing could be further from the truth--Russia's strategic analysis is arguably the best in the world and nobody in Russia's Security Council has any illusions on the nature of European regimes and populations. Europe is not coming back, it is over. I understand Colonel's frustration with Germans, but it is what it is--a brainwashed population with a few islands of common sense here and there. And it has to be understood that there could be no normal relations between Russia and Germany, despite a lingering myth about some abstract Russo-German economic "alliance". It was always nothing but a myth.

Per Syrsky being an asset of MI6 and being "employed" for primarily terrorist attacks on Russian soil against civilian targets--possible. The whole governing structure in UK is a joke, as are its military and intel services, who channel frustration from being a third rate power into killing civilians and false flag operations--this, they still can do. The pain and suffering from sensing own role as nothing but a chihuahua in the fight of a bear with behemoth is understandable, but UK should concentrate primarily on dealing with immigration and cultural "enrichment", not on pathetic attempts at feeling itself important, it is not and hasn't been in a long time. 

To understand why Colonel is wrong, enough to take a look at Elena Karaeva's excellent piece in Ria today with the title: In War With Russia Europe Bought Itself One-way Ticket. Sadly, machine translation may kill some sarcasm and contempt for the combined West in this piece, but it is still worth reading. But the title is correct in every respect.
