Yep, 25 Years, And Not A Year ...

 ... less. Donny is being mocked in Russia and around the world and he doesn't even understand that he embarrasses himself and the country. 

Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stressed that the main priority for Moscow is the development of the domestic military-industrial complex (MIC), and not statements by US President Donald Trump about the military power of the United States. The Kremlin spokesman told reporters about this. "This is the head of state, the head of the United States of America. In this regard, we have our president. First of all, we pay attention to the statements of our president. We are engaged in our military construction, the development of our military-industrial complex. For us, this is the main thing," Peskov said, commenting on Trump's statements about the military power of the United States. Earlier KP.RU wrote, Donald Trump said that the United States has the world's largest arsenal of nuclear weapons. According to him, Russia is in second place, and China occupies the third position, but in four to five years it will be able to catch up with the United States.

Not only Trump is a specialist in Air Defense, but he is also an expert in submarines and underwater warfare. Yet, speaking about panic and desperation: 

So much for America protecting Europe’s eastern flank against Vladimir Putin’s imperial ambitions – even as Russian drones and jets continue to probe Nato airspace. Plans have been unveiled for the US to reduce its the number of troops in Romania, a critical buffer zone against Russian aggression. This includes forces who were to be stationed at the Mihail Kogalniceanu air base, which is a strategically important airbase due to its proximity to Ukraine. Romania’s defence ministry said earlier today: ‘We were informed about the resizing of part of the American soldiers deployed on Nato’s eastern flank, as part of the process of reassessing the global posture of the US military forces.’ It said the decision was expected given changes the ‘new priorities,’ but that roughly 1,000 US troops will continue to be stationed in the country. ‘The decision took into account that Nato has consolidated its presence and activity on the eastern flank which enables the US to adjust its military posture in the region,’ the ministry said. It did not specify exactly how many US troops will be pulled out from the country. Romania and Nato in general have attempted to downplay the move.

I have news for the author of this drivel (expected from this Bulgarian creature--see her background) and those in UK who dumbed her down in UK universities as they did with most fresh NATO cock-suckers from former Warsaw Treaty countries--quake in your boots from fear and impotence. Many of you are war criminals, war mongers and have blood of millions on your hands. The process of NATO disintegration has started because one cannot recover from humiliation of the combined West by a single country which was supposed to collapse because its riff-raff was denied shopping in Europe. The main question, however, in all that should be WHY would Russia need Romania, Poland or Bulgaria. For what? But yes, in case of EU/NATO regimes succeeding in false flag--Russians are not going to move in and capture these territories. Again, WHY? To feed population which hates Russian guts with free soup? 

The solution will be much simpler and even hot air balloon Trump knows this deep inside--a fully remote regime change with a minimal impact on local population. After that it will be up to these populations to decide what to do with their economic wastelands. Come on, there is no even necessity to flatten Paris or Brussels--the location of all bunkers and C2 outposts is well known. Meanwhile, in Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeisk). 

Russians now will allow Western media (aka Goebbelsonean trash) into surrounded areas in Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeisk (Pokrovsk). Let them see what happens with people who delude themselves with their superiority, as most in the combined West do. And here is an example why Russia cannot be defeated in war. 

The life of Russian marine. 

Congratulations to the celebrated commander of the "Storm" squad of the 40th separate Guards Krasnodar-Kharbin twice Red Banner Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet, Guards Lieutenant Colonel Khantemir Sultanov, on the high rank of Hero of Russia. (https://t.me/TOF_VMF/4958?single) We have covered the story (https://t.me/TOF_VMF/3581) about the "Aggressor," who during the battles for Novodonetske, while repelling a failed enemy "counteroffensive," suffered a severe injury resulting in the amputation of a leg, but returned to his squad, to his team, and continued to command victoriously. This high award was earned by Khantemir through his display of courage, competent leadership, and unyielding will. People like him should be looked up to! An interview with Khantemir can be viewed https://t.me/TOF_VMF/3581

As for the technology of war--don't get me started on this. Just don't, I will only repeat what I was saying for long years: combined West lost the arms race by a knockout (c). 

Foreign Ownership In The West ...

 ... means absolutely nothing. Russia learned it the hard way and will not make such a mistake again. China is learning it now. 

Dutch authorities took control of the Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia following significant pressure from Washington, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing newly released court documents. The Netherlands-based company was seized earlier this month. The news comes amid escalating trade tensions between the US and China, marked by disputes over tariffs, export controls, and technology transfers. The production of semiconductors remains a particularly sensitive area due to its critical role in global technology and security, as they have both civilian and military uses. Officials from the Dutch Foreign Affairs Ministry and representatives from a US agency responsible for protecting critical technology reportedly met in June to discuss the Dutch-based chipmaker, which is owned by the Chinese group Wingtech. During the meeting, US officials reportedly emphasized that the company’s CEO, Wingtech founder Zhang Xuezheng, must be removed in order to avoid US export controls.

Nothing is sacred in the US anymore. It lost its competitive edge and the only thing which it retains is blackmail and dirty games. This is the price of deindustrialization and of the predatory instincts of the American ruling class (oligarchy) who lost any ability to create. That also applies to US military-industrial complex which increasingly looks like a laundromat. 

Meanwhile, the village idiot continues to embarrass himself:

This is what happens when one has zero statesmanship qualities and thinks that the world is a TV show of NYC real estate sewer. 

On the technological front, however, news for NATO are not good, to put it mildly--the indicators are everywhere and no more so than in the military sphere. Sweden used to be known for good subs. Not so much signal processing because they demonstrated inability to distinguish herring farting from Soviet subs--a result of paranoia after a famous incident with Soviet diesel sub ending on the Swedish shores due to navigational error, with this sub promptly humorously being named Swedish Komsomolets in the Soviet Navy. Embarrassing fact, no doubt, but since then Swedes never stopped being hysterical. Now, suddenly (not really) they have issues, big ones ...

Sweden’s next-generation A26 Blekinge-class submarine programme has been hit by another major delay and soaring costs, pushing the first delivery to 2031 and raising total expenses to 25 billion SEK (2.3 billion EUR).  

This is one of those You Have Got To Be Fucking Kidding Me news, since they are talking about building ... two (two, Karl!) SSKs like this. 

Ah yes, so menacing, so scary that Russians should quake in their boots, but they do not, especially when one considers the fact that a single sub of this run-of-the-mill class will cost more than $1 billion (More than ONE BILLION, Karl!) for a rather average AIP sub with rather mediocre strike capability and as is reported: 

Part of the delay is argued to be related to the poor state of the Kockums submarine yard, which has not built a new submarine since the Gotland-class delivered in the mid-1990’s. As such, while know-how has been retained to some extent thanks to design work on the Australian Collins-class, the upgrade of the Västergötland-class to the new Södermanland-class and to the Singaporean Archer-class respectively, and the Gotland-class MLU, a certain amount of delays and struggles with restarting production of a new class was to be expected. Still, the delivery time has now slipped from seven to 15 years between contract signing and first delivery, while the budget has more than doubled. This last delay is particularly difficult to swallow, as the political guidelines from the powerful Swedish Defence Commission (Försvarsberedningen) in their report on the future of Swedish defence in April 2024 took a stern view that further delays and cost overruns were unacceptable as that would impact both the submarine force and other naval development programmes. 

Well, for comparison, Russia builds for the same money TWO of these:

Carriers of Kalibr family, or one of these:

Carriers of everything else. Including hypersonic Zircons. Or one of these:

As you might understand, it goes to demonstrate that combined West cannot produce anything militarily impactful without bankrupting itself and that is why I am constantly forced to explain the abyss separating Russia and the United States in terms of military balance, not to speak of all European chihuahuas who are scared shitless by the United States itself fading from the military mythology it created about itself only to be exposed as a paper tiger. 

Reading And Hearing ...

 ... "comprehension". Mr. Medvedev lives in a free country and he merely reminded the US that, in his own words:

Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10… He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road!

But Donnie and Washington are very sensitive and are on the brink of nervous collapse:

Obviously Trump, being a crybaby and a narcissist bordering on a complete psychiatric case, is incapable to grasp modern world and now that the US military was paraded as a paper target and numbers of KIAs from 404 reach 1.8 million--Donnie, this is YOUR war. You and of your master in Israel. Yes, Gaza too--a crime against humanity. Hence the hysteria.

 

I made a video today about a way strategic missile submarines operate--it should be up shortly--but:

India has not issued any directive to its oil refiners to halt purchases of Russian crude, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The decision comes as the Indian government navigates its energy security needs while managing diplomatic ties with Moscow and avoiding further tensions with US President Donald Trump. 

One cannot constantly lie, blatantly, as Trump does. And the issue here is not just India, it is the fact that intellectual and professional level, or rather lack thereof, of the US military-political elites is that of the worst cases of the so called Third World. Moral and intellectual decomposition accelerates. 

Larry wrote an excellent expose': 

The latest issue of American Thinker just published a piece that puts moron in the term, oxymoron. The piece is titled, Perpetual Russian Wars, and is written by Jacob Fraden, who was born in Russia and arrived in the United States in 1977. I am taking a wild guess here, but I suspect that he is Jewish and that his parents left the Soviet Union as part of the Soviet Jewry Movement. The Soviet Jewry Movement emerged as a global campaign in support of Soviet Jews (“refuseniks”) who were denied the right to emigrate, facing both official restrictions and persecution. The movement gained international attention after high-profile events such as the 1970 Leningrad hijacking attempt, in which Soviet Jews tried to draw the world’s attention to their desires for emigration by attempting to commandeer a plane to escape to the West. Why am I focusing on this guy? The lies in his article are breathtaking. I think he has a clear agenda… Promote a war to destroy Russia.

Correct, always a lie. But yes, Russia is the only country on Earth which can wipe the US off the map. Just the cold hard fact. 

I Hate To Do Rankings.

But Chris called for it;) 

In terms of submarine technology, how would you rank countries?
1. Russia with the U.S. being a close second (or maybe first). I doubt that there is a close second
2. China
3. Germany
4. France
4. Iran

Submarines must be difficult to build because very few countries do it. I didn't bother to rank the U.K.

OK. Here it is. Agree--subs are the most complex systems humanity builds, even more complex than ISS. So, here are my rankings:

Nuclear-powered subs. 

SSBNs (Strategic Missile Submarines). 

1.Russia

2.US

3. France

4.UK (doesn't have own SLBMs)

5. China.

SSNs (fast attack nukes).

1. US

2. Russia

3. UK

4. France

5. China

SSGNs (cruise missile nukes).

1. Russia

2. US

3. The rest of the world. 

SSKs, Non-nuclear subs.

w/o AIP. 

1. Russia

2. Japan

3. China

4. Germany

5. The rest of the world.

SSKs with AIP.

1. Sweden

2. Germany

3. Japan

4. Reportedly China

5. The rest of the world. 

Also, keep in mind--submarine, no matter how good, it is still a platform. These are the weapons which it carries which make it into a complete weapon system. In terms of weapons on subs Russia simply crushes competition.

Stop The Planet...

 ... I need to get off. LOL)))

In related news, I think all journalism departments must be disbanded because these cretins are responsible for dropping humanity's average IQ about 50 points. Who would have thought that one can use sea to hide one's subs. I thought about hiding them in mountains or even in steppes, but sea? Nah--too advanced of a concept. Can you imagine a vessel moving under water--this is fantastic, I hope in the 23 century humanity will achieve this incredible capability.
