British "Elite"...

 ... especially its media-(pseudo)intellectual complex is a collection of lowlifes who have no normal human qualities. Sociopathy is essentially a lack of consciousness. The only "military" capability the UK has is that of terrorism and so the most UK media are supporters of terrorism and should be viewed as such. Hence...

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday slammed British daily The Times for justifying the assassination of Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, who headed Russia’s Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces. Medvedev criticized the editors as “lousy jackals” who are part of a hybrid war against Russia. In an article on Tuesday, the UK outlet claimed that its sources within Ukraine’s security services admitted responsibility for the general's assassination. It went on to describe the incident as “a legitimate act of defense by a threatened nation.” “The assassination is a discriminate strike against an aggressor,” The Times wrote. The paper further characterized Kirillov’s killing as an “eminently defensible” act that should be seen as “a warning and deterrent to other plenipotentiaries of [Russian President] Vladimir Putin.”

I am still puzzled why BBC, as an example, this pedophile central, is present in Russia, as are other representatives of British propaganda, such as degenerate Rosenberg. And Medvedev has a point: 

“It’s impossible to ignore the editorial published in The Times, where the bastards called the terrorist attack on Igor Kirillov and his assistant a ‘legitimate act of defense’,” Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy head of the Russian Security Council, said in a Telegram post. He stated that according to the logic employed by The Times, its entire management could now be considered “legitimate military targets” for Russia, along with all Western decision-makers. “All NATO decision-makers from countries that provided military assistance to Bandera Ukraine are participating in a hybrid or conventional war against Russia… All these individuals can and should be considered legitimate military targets for the Russian state,” Medvedev said, adding that the people “who committed crimes against Russia” always have accomplices, including in the media.

Correct, London is a filthy degenerate place, the ball of freaks and, unlike the US, with which Russia has to have some kind of relations, I see no reason for Russia maintaining any diplomatic relations with this Euro chihuahua which still thinks herself a great geopolitical player. The only thing the average UK politician and media creeps understand is fear, and fear they should have.

To understand what these imbeciles think about themselves, get the load of this:

Применение баллистической ракеты средней дальности «Орешник» на территории Украины заставило Лондон занять более взвешенную позицию в отношении ударов дальнобойным вооружением вглубь России, заявил посол РФ в Британии Андрей Келин. Хотя британцы и не испугались, они осознали, что возник новый фактор – ответ России на использование ракет Storm Shadow, заявил Келин в интервью телеканалу «Россия 24», передает ТАСС. В результате в Лондоне стали осторожнее относиться к этой теме и внимательно следят за развитием событий, добавил он. Келин отметил, что официальная реакция Британии на запуск «Орешника» была невнятной, однако в экспертных кругах изучались возможности и способности этой ракеты. Посол подчеркнул, что из Белоруссии, где планируется развернуть «Орешник», достижима каждая точка в Европе.

Translation: The use of the Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile in Ukraine forced London to take a more balanced position regarding long-range strikes deep into Russia, said Russian Ambassador to Britain Andrei Kelin. Although the British were not scared, they realized that a new factor had emerged – Russia’s response to the use of Storm Shadow missiles, Kelin said in an interview with the Russia 24 TV channel, TASS reports. As a result, London has become more cautious about this topic and is closely monitoring developments, he added. Kelin noted that Britain’s official reaction to the launch of the Oreshnik was unclear, but expert circles were studying the capabilities and abilities of this missile. The ambassador emphasized that every point in Europe is accessible from Belarus, where the Oreshnik is planned to be deployed.

No, moron, that IS the definition of being scared. In fact shitting own pants. Because the first candidate for direct demonstration to NATO of what will happen to it in case of continuous terrorism is highly likely Royal Navy and whatever the shit it tries to put to sea. As is the air base Akrotiry. And yes, every point in Europe is accessible from ANYWHERE in European part of Russia.

Byron's Piece...

 ... went "viral" in Russia and both Ria and establishment RG (Rossiyaskaya Gazeta) reported on it:

Translation: The United States are standing at the threshold of a serious geopolitical fiasco in Ukraine, thinks the former US Navy's officer Byron King.   

It also goes extremely well with one of the best openings on geopolitics in a while, James Kunstler did it again:

How long do we have to wait before Volodymyr Zelensky opens a disco in Boca Raton?

This is sheer brilliance. But that also brings us to some lamentations by Gerard Baker in The Times:

Pentagon leaks expose the scale of Biden’s foreign failings. Classified intelligence revelations display Washington’s strategic disarray and harm relations with major US allies

What Baker doesn't understand is that Biden is just the cherry on the top. I don't remember ANY US administration starting with Clinton which wouldn't fuck it up one way or another due to hubris, ignorance and incompetence. The problem is systemic and not just with Biden Admin alone. Leaks are important globally ONLY in terms of sheer idiocy of the American "strategic planning" and a complete detachment from the economic, military and social realities of the world. In terms of Russia--it is my position for years now that most Western "Russia Studies" programs should simply be closed and most of those "scholars" who teach there be stripped off their "degrees" as academic frauds. But then again, one should start looking at what do they "teach" at those History Departments, because with "historians" like late Richard Pipes or alive and well Anne Applebaum and her ilk one will not learn anything about Russia of the XX-XXI century. And that is that simple.

Did I Read This Right?

The hysteria is going to 11 in UK (and US). 





The Times, this rag which prides itself on being very, oh so, British, and pretends that it has expertise, on March 22 went as far as to suggest this:



Yes, my friends, you read it right. The Times in its editorial calling for Closing Ranks, suggests to engage in de facto state terrorism against Russia's civilian aircraft. Obviously, to a fine lads in The Times the whole notion that their great compatriot, Sir Isaak Newton, formulated Third Law as:


Is absolutely unknown. Obviously, disregarding issues of international law and legal process, the idea that Russia can, in case of Times' hysterical scenario coming to life, also seize some UK property escapes the bright minds of British journos, who by now have to feel a real pinch with Skripal affair literally falling apart, especially after Scotland Yard making some startling revelations. So, in accordance to Scotland Yard The Skripals were poisoned at home, then went to restaurant and then managed to walk to a now proverbial bench where they allegedly succumbed to this evil Russian poison, which is alleged to be stronger than UK's own VX neuro-paralytic agent. Yes, small detail, as I already described it here--VX can kill you in a minute. Something doesn't add up, don't you think? Especially so, after UK's pathetic, eight grade book report level attempt on presenting Skripal's case in comic. 

But no worries, for Closing Ranks there is always good ol' USA with its very own collection of all kinds "National Security Experts", such as this headless "specialist" Samantha Vinograd "advising" on what to do with Russia in ever hysterical POLITICO.
The main pearl of this "adviser" for the Obama national security cabal which went out of its way in allowing Al Qaeda and ISIS to wreck a havoc in Syria and destroying Russian-American relations, is this:

Still, military force is always on the table. Of course, a nuclear Russia changes the stakes in every perspective, but with regime change trending around the Cabinet, brute force could inch its way up on the agenda. Russia might be undermining international security, but there is some good news. Every Situation Room meeting ends with a statement of conclusions, or SOC in wonk-speak. An SOC from this discussion on retaliation would invariably note that the United States, along with its partners, took an unprecedented step to hold Russia accountable for its actions after a careful process and stakeholder outreach strategy (a lot of intelligence, diplomatic, policy and news media coordination would have transpired among all of the countries involved). So, in this respect, the Russia policy process does seem to be functioning under the Trump administration. Now, it just remains to be seen whether this step will actually deter Russia from its global bullying campaign and, if not, what will.


I understand that they teach all kind of "exceptionalist" crap in US "national security studies" programs, such as this, what they don't teach there, and overwhelming empirical evidence supports me in this (I even wrote a book on that), is sound methodology in military-political analysis and they certainly don't teach real history there. I had experience of communicating with several American Ph.Ds in history from different schools (including Ivy League)--I was stunned with them lacking even basic understanding of the nature and application of military power. This is not to mention them not knowing a whole collection of crucial historical facts. 

Apart from Vinograd being a total amateur in military issues, she, evidently, doesn't understand and is not aware of the actual military force balance in US-Russia stand-off and I am talking ONLY about conventional forces. It doesn't favor US on ANY potential theater of operations, unless the US wants to commit suicide in getting into the conventional fight with Russia, with US being initially highly biased towards nuclear option since it will encounter human, materiel and reputational losses on such a scale that it will be forced to seriously consider the use of nuclear weapons. But never mind, I am sure this New Jersey girl knows all about it, including how the US will (not may be, but will) throw Ukraine under the Russian bus in a desperate attempt to attain any kind of a result against the background of immensely accelerating decline. This war is coming. Well, this war plus wars against Iran and North Korea are certainly on the table--the Empire is desperate. 

But, but in the midst of this unprecedented hysteria one still cannot escape this bizarre feeling of a complete unreality of all that and it has nothing to do with some seemingly dangerous developments, no. This bizarre feeling is in the depth, grossly underestimated, of the weakness and powerlessness of the combined West lead by the US. It is, actually, surreal. But then again, none of them read War and Peace to have a glimpse into the nature of their own downfall--it is not taught in National Security Studies:
"But all the general and soldiers of [Napoleon’s] army…experienced a similar feeling of terror before an enemy who, after losing half his men, stood as threateningly at the end as at the beginning of the battle. The moral force of the attacking French army was exhausted. Not that sort of victory which is defined by the capture of pieces of material fastened to sticks, called standards, and of the ground on which the troops had stood and were standing, but a moral victory that convinces the enemy of the moral superiority of his opponent and of his own impotence was gained by the Russians at Borodino…The direct consequence of the battle of Borodino was Napoleon’s senseless flight from Moscow… and the downfall of Napoleonic France, on which at Borodino for the first time the hand of an opponent of stronger spirit had been laid"(c)
