It Is No Surprise ...

 ... and I am on record, terrorism is the weapon of the weak. 

MANILA /Philippines/, July 22. /TASS/. The United States is not just helping, but directly involved in directing Ukrainian weapons at targets, including civilians, on Russian territory. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov following his participation in ASEAN events in the Philippines.

I understand how difficult it is for decent people inside the US military to accept the fact that they are not the best, they are involved directly in terrorism and war crimes and that most of what they know about themselves is primarily from internal propaganda. So, what's left? Well, let's kill some civilians. The desire to "kill some Russians" is deeply ingrained in the US military-political top because of complex of inferiority, being not in the same league and recognition of what I speak about non stop for more than a decade--the US lost the arms race, it is all about spite and racism. But then again, US military for all intents and purposes is an Israeli military and has no a single serviceman, top-bottom, who would be able to coherently state when did the US military actually defend the US and her actual national interests. 

These are all hallmarks of a decomposing empire. Here are some results of the activity of the "finest fighting force in history".

The "most moral" military force of IDF looks at their apprentices from Pentagon with approval. 

Remember This?

If you don't, I'll remind you...

Few of the Germans defending Lorraine could be considered First-rate troops. Third Army encountered whole battalions made up of deaf men, others of cooks, and others consisting entirely of soldiers with stomach ulcers. The G2 also identified a new series of German formations designated voIksgrenadier divisions). These hastily constituted divisions numbered only 10,000.  

They also deployed the whole 5 to 10 tanks apiece for the whole three "panzer divisions". Yet, evidently this is not what is being taught to the cadets of the USMA at West Point or officers of US Army War College (including the Patton At Bay historic narrative), because this "great" general failed to fight through even these Wehrmacht troops, of sorts. But now, guess what, this is not a joke--I checked--this is what VSU "accepts" as its troops:

People are now fully eligible for service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in "Disability Group III," comprising people who: 1. Are missing or blind in one eye 2. Are partially deaf 3. Have a tracheotomy 4. Have jaw defects that prevent normal chewing 5. Suffer from dwarfism (<130cm for men) 6. Have a missing or nonfunctional arm 7. Have an amputated leg up to the thigh 8. Are missing fingers 9. Are missing both feet 10. Have a pacemaker implanted 11. Have only one working kidney 12. Have only one working lung 13. Have suffered from "traumatic castration" 14. Have a brain abscess (!) 15. Have a substantial skull defect 16. Have Parkinson's (!) 17. Have extreme scoliosis 18. Have severe chest deformities 19. Have "severe adrenal insufficiency" (it's a war eh?) 20. Have no bladder.  

There you go. Can you imagine what is happening now in Russian internet after getting acquainted with these requirements (Pentagon will never wash itself off this--they played a crucial role in killing hundreds of thousand VSU personnel)? But then again, when one studies warfare through Hollywood and sycophants, what do you expect? Man, blind midgets with two feet and fingers missing with brain abscess--I am sure Russian General Staff is trembling with horror. No, they do--those people are top notch professionals with morality and honor running in families for generations, they cannot accept lowlifes war criminals as equal military professionals. You do not eat from the dumpster, when you can buy food from the grocery store, do you? This is why Ukraine War Crimes Tribunal is getting readied.  

Another One Bites The Dust...

... figuratively speaking.  

The Senior Director for Europe at the US National Security Council, Amanda Sloat, is about to vacate her position after three years in office, Politico reported on Friday. Sloat played a major role in coordinating the efforts of the US and its Western allies in aiding Kiev and countering Moscow amid the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the media outlet reported. “It has been an amazing three years, but it’s time. I’m tired,” the official herself told Politico this week as she confirmed her impending resignation. Amanda Sloat has been a “quiet but key figure” behind the White House's efforts to improve relations with its European allies and oppose Moscow, the outlet said. She reportedly “spent months” coordinating a Western response to the Russian military campaign in Ukraine, which particularly translated into billions of dollars in military and economic assistance for Kiev, the report said. 

Well, what can I say, after looking at this young lady's background. 

Amanda Sloat currently serves on the National Security Council as the Senior Director for Europe. Previously, she was the Robert Bosch senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. She was also a fellow with the Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. Sloat served in the U.S. government for nearly a decade. She was deputy assistant secretary for Southern Europe and Eastern Mediterranean Affairs at the State Department, where she was responsible for U.S. relations with Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey as well as for coordinating European engagement on Middle East issues. She also served as senior advisor to the White House coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf region and as senior advisor to the assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. She previously worked as senior professional staff on the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, with responsibility for European policy.

Prior to her government service, Sloat was a senior program officer with the National Democratic Institute, including work in Iraq with the Council of Representatives. She was also a post-doctoral research fellow with the Institute of Governance at Queen's University Belfast. During this time, she held visiting fellowships at the Academy of Sciences in the Czech Republic, United Nations Research Institute for Social Development, and the Jean Monnet Center at New York University Law School. She also served as a special advisor to the Scottish Parliament, Northern Ireland Assembly, and European Commission. Sloat holds a doctorate in politics from the University of Edinburgh and a bachelor's in political theory from James Madison College at Michigan State University. She has published a book, "Scotland in Europe: A Study of Multi-Level Governance" (Peter Lang Pub Inc, 2002). She has written widely on European politics in academic and foreign policy outlets.

The only conclusion I made was that she is not an ugly woman. But in terms of her competencies or rather lack thereof, she is a classic "product" of Western degree mills in what is known as "soft degrees" designed to teach academically credentialed Bullshit for good ol' boys and girls to get their degrees in order to be promoted into the all kinds of think-tank and government jobs in the West. So, she is an exhibit A of that. She may, however, qualify for barista position in Starbucks. I am on record--you see a Ph.D degree in political "science", international relations or "political theory" from Harvard, Oxford or Yale, and other degree mills with similar pseudo-academic courses--treat those as the red flags, since most of the time you will be communicating with utterly incompetent people. 

And here comes this issue--what this academic fraud could "coordinate", as Politico puts it:

Sloat’s tenure at the NSC was dominated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She spent months on little sleep coordinating a response with European allies and warning Ukrainian counterparts that Russian President Vladimir Putin planned for a full-scale assault. U.S. officials have said Sloat ensured the transatlantic response was aligned and robust, leading to billions in military and economic support for Kyiv. Not everyone is happy with the administration’s policy. They contend more advanced weaponry should have been sent to Kyiv in the war’s earliest days, pointing to Ukraine’s sputtering counteroffensive this year as evidence. And they also questioned the wisdom of the U.S. allowing the construction of the Russia-to-Germany Nord Stream 2 pipeline to finish, a decision that Germany reversed after the war started.

No, I really want to see itemization of this ensuring by this post-doctoral barista of this robust "transatlantic response". Of course, we will not get this itemization because any "ensuring" of anything in the transatlantic community is merely a single action of conveying the message from Washington--fall in line, or else. So, the whole idea that some relatively attractive bimbo who has zero professional skills in anything can "coordinate" something is down right preposterous. Starting from W's Administration after 9/11 US military-political top didn't present a single decent, forget about world class, diplomat, military leader or statesman. General Tommy Franks once clearly described what he had to deal with when communicating with Douglas Feith: "I have to deal with the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth almost every day."   

What is true today is that the types Tommy Franks described are the ONLY types required for work in the US Administrations. They are the ultimate product of pseudo-academic courses in Western humanities degree mills. The fact that this, obvious, affirmative action lowly bureaucrat is bowing out is merely an indication of the rats running from the sinking ship which is not just Biden Administration but the whole governance structure of the US. Of course, one shouldn't forget that the roles of many people in Biden Admin and US "academe" and media in unleashing a largest war crime since the WW II in what is now former Ukraine are well known, as are their identities and functional responsibilities in what amounts to killing and maiming of around 2 million people, primarily VSU personnel, not to mention atrocities committed by Kiev Nazi regime. 

So, this bimbo runs away because she may well be, most likely will be, identified as one of the "coordinators" of this atrocity, however not the main one, and she could be charged with war crimes as an active part of Administration which is fully responsible for war crimes of the scale not seen in Europe in almost 80 years. In this case, one has to almost envy Kamala Harris, because she is so stupid and unqualified for anything that her being a part of Biden Administration will be attributed to her mental feebleness and she will be left alone. Not the case with this "coordinator". Then the question arises, will the United States reach this phase which is described so aptly by James Kunstler:

So far, the collapse of suburbia has happened in slow motion, but the pace is quickening now and it’ll get supercharged when the bond markets go down, as they must, considering the country’s catastrophic fiscal circumstances. That will produce exactly the zombie apocalypse telegraphed in all those movies and TV series over recent years: normality overrun by demonic hungry ghosts. Every day in suburbia will be Halloween, and not in a fun way. All this is apprehended to some degree by the increasingly frightened public, though they have a hard time articulating it within any of the popular frameworks presented by politics, religion, or what appears lately to be extremely corrupt science. The people see what’s coming but they can’t make sense of it, and the stress makes a great many of them insane. Without a way to construct a coherent view of reality, or tell the difference between what’s real and what’s not, they behave accordingly: anything goes and nothing matters.

The US is already half-way there, and once the center refuses to hold anymore--this is in the progress as I type this--the inevitable question of who brought the United States to utter collapse will arise. Well, it is arising now, actually, and many who brought this about are well known. We just learned the identity of yet another one who helped America on her way out of normality. But then again, what do you expect from post-doctoral barista.

Exactly!

Larry nails it. It is the nail which was hit on its head, driven deeply and cannot be removed. 

Let me make something clear up front. The Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians on Saturday, especially the massacre of the kids dancing in the desert, is a war crime and should be punished in the same way that those responsible for executing Ukrainian Jews at Babi Yar were punished. Those responsible include the shooters, the military planners and the commanders responsible for that operation. Ditto for those who have abused captives. A captured civilian must be treated as a non-combatant and not harmed. While I understand the grief and outrage of Israelis and their supporters around the world, anyone calling for the mass slaughter of the people who live in Gaza also are supporting a potential war crime. Here is the appropriate military response– You punish those who planned, organized, funded or carried out attacks against civilian targets. You do not wantonly kill civilians. The Hamas attack on Israeli military positions, by contrast, is not a war crime. Just good old fashioned, ugly war.

This is the Red Line which none of us must cross. Once this is understood, then discussions on inhuman treatment of Palestinians by Israel may start. But indiscriminate murdering of Israeli families of civilians, be them men, women or children is unacceptable. Period. Executing Israeli civilians taken hostage--yes, they are not POWs--would be condemned by the whole world and rightly so! So, Hamas better think twice before committing this atrocity. Now observe IDF committing wholesale war crimes against Palestinians. The cycle of violence continues, but after admission of Egyptian Intel about warning to Israel 10 days before Hamas attack, the whole ordeal takes a very different turn. If true, it immediately points out to a possibility of "focus shifting" attempt away from a catastrophe of VSU and Kiev regime and with it of the Biden Administration's strategic defeat which makes Afghanistan a stroll in the park by comparison.

"We liberated them... and they will never forgive us for it..."(c)

This famous Zhukov's quip was prescient. It all came true. Germans hate Russians because they sustained a crushing defeat in 1945. Western "democracies" hate Russia, Soviet Union being a historic Russia, because they know who actually defeated Axis forces, and because West's military mythology has its roots in stolen valor claims that it was the US who defeated Nazism. They continue to rewrite history, today, on the eve of May 9 Victory Day. Here is Konrad Adenauer's fund. Some Ph.D. from Germany writes:

Am 8. Mai 1945 wurden nicht nur ganz Europa, sondern gerade auch die Deutschen von der Tyrannei des Nationalsozialismus befreit. Auch die Sowjetunion war an der Befreiung beteiligt, anders als die Westalliierten hatte sie allerdings nicht den Liberalismus, sondern einen neuen Totalitarismus im Gepäck. Angesichts des russischen Überfalls auf die Ukraine zeigt sich nun, dass auch der vermeintliche Sieg des Liberalismus 1989/90 nicht von Bestand war. Die außen- und sicherheitspolitischen Versäumnisse des Westens und besonders auch Deutschlands seither lassen sich damit nicht mehr beiseiteschieben. 

Translation: On May 8, 1945, not only the whole of Europe, but also the Germans in particular were liberated from the tyranny of National Socialism. The Soviet Union was also involved in the liberation, but unlike the Western Allies, it did not bring liberalism with it, but a new totalitarianism. In view of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is now clear that even the supposed victory of liberalism in 1989/90 was not to last. The foreign and security policy failures of the West and especially Germany since then can no longer be brushed aside.

 

Ah, yes, those side-show Rooskies subhumans who ALSO took part in "liberation" by destroying 80% of creme de la creme Axis power and demolishing German National-Socialism nightmarish slave and death machine. But who cares. You can read this pseudo-academic schizophrenic piece by this Ph.D. Matthias Oppermann and it will give you a good understanding why there is nothing to discuss with the West. What can one possibly discuss with people influenced by "history" from Anthony Beavor, Anne Applebaum or this German "defender" of liberalism. That is why the desire to spoil for Russians the Victory Day Parade at the Red Square is so irresistible--the combined West is sustaining, as I type this, the handing of its ass on the platter in Ukraine, it happens in Syria (US pilots now turn their targeting complexes on trying to spook Russian pilots with "lock on" in Syria) and elsewhere and the desperation is palpable. 

But it is the Victory Day Parade at the Red Square which hurts them the most, because it is the day when Russia demonstrates and states unequivocally who and how defeated German National-Socialism and why this is being done for the second time on a global scale, this time defeating yet another iteration of the totalitarian ideology known as globalism and its concentrated expression through Pax Americana much of whose mythology is built around stealing the credit for the defeat of Hitler. This time, however, it is different--never again the foot of Russian soldier should step on the European soil, even when they will scream, and they will, for help--let them deal with what's coming themselves. If they die, Europe was dead already for decades spiritually, physical death will be the only natural outcome. 

 

Meanwhile, I congratulate you all with Victory Day and want to remind you that the history of WW II in the West is not a history, with some notable exceptions, but primarily a field for falsifications in order to justify on-going ugly mutations of modern "liberalism". In the end, there is very little difference between war criminals in Washington in 2023 and war criminals in Berlin of 1941.   

I Don't Want To Have...

 ...a discussion on the merits of "Pink Floyd's" (meaning Gilmore and Mason) latest "in support of Ukraine" piece of crap music in the post about crimes against humanity by Ukrainian Nazis. So, I post it here. I just want to stress, sadly, artistic talent often (most of the time) does not translate into human integrity and knowledge. David Gilmore is an Exhibit A of this: great musical talent and mindless political activism. So, if anyone wants to say anything about music, say it here.

It Explains It.

I mean the desperation with which VSU and especially Neo-Nazis tried to evacuate "someone" from Mariupol by means of losing (I lost count) a number of helis, which were shot down. As Russian MoD officially states: 

"Продолжается совместная операция группировки войск Донецкой Народной Республики и подразделений российских вооруженных сил по полному освобождению города Мариуполь. Результаты радиоперехватов показывают, что кроме нацистов из батальона "Азов" и остатков украинских вооруженных сил, в оккупированных районах города находится значительное количество иностранных наемников. Радиопереговоры, кроме украинского и русского, ведутся еще на шести, в основном европейских, иностранных языках", - сказал Конашенков.

Translation:  The joint operation of the troops of the Donetsk People's Republic and units of the Russian armed forces continues to completely liberate the city of Mariupol. The results of radio intercepts show that in addition to the Nazis from the Azov battalion and the remnants of the Ukrainian armed forces, a significant number of foreign mercenaries are located in the occupied areas of the city. Radio communications, in addition to Ukrainian and Russian, are conducted in six more, mainly European, foreign languages," Konashenkov said.

So, in this case it is safe to assume that not only those mercenaries will be treated "properly", but those who survive will be paraded at war crimes tribunal and then will, if they are lucky and not transferred to LDNR for further execution for war crimes, be sent to sunny Siberia or Mordovia for the attitude adjustment in the high security resorts, after which they may wish they have been killed in Mariupol. 

In related news, yet another unit of VSU marines surrendered and good for them, they will live. 

Per bestiality in Kramatorsk, and VSU's launch of Tochka U at civilians--this type of the activity will continue, because this is the only way the Western handlers of regime in Kiev know how to fight the war--by mostly killing defenseless people and then blaming it on somebody else. The pattern is recognizable and it will continue for obvious reasons that Russia is "losing" and was supposed to run out of everything couple of weeks ago, right? That's what glorious British media and their "experts" told us. Will the US use tactical nuke on Kiev? Do not put this pass neocons and their enablers from the US MSM. 

Leningrad, 1942--LDNR 2018.

The similarity between Nazis and US advice to Ukrainian side on how to deal with Donbass is uncanny--it is genocidal. In an interview to, get this, strictly Ukrainian media outlet Obozrevatel, former Deputy Chief of General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces Igor Romanenko disclosed what kind of advice American "diplomats" and military instructors give to Ukrainian regime:

"Американці пропонують Україні жорстко перекрити кордон, нікого і нічого не пускати, навіть ресурси – електроенергію та воду. І там дуже швидко складеться революційна ситуація, яка недопустима для Росії,

Translation: Americans suggest to Ukraine to firmly close the border, not to allow anyone or anything in, shut off electricity and water. This way it will develop revolutionary situation fast and this is not acceptable for Russia... 

I think, State Department and Pentagon should also introduce courses on concentration camps, their maintenance, disposal of bodies, torture (oh, wait--that is already available) and, maybe, some electives on gas chambers and mass executions. You know, to accelerate the development of revolutionary situations around the world. I guess American advisers will be happy to elevate their skills to a new level of proficiency. They may even employ techniques used by Nazis on Leningrad, especially in terms of starvation. They also should not bypass experiences of children's concentration camps.

The United States is desperate for Russia's real physical interference in Ukraine because it is, in American view, the only way Europe could be firmly put under American control and will allow removal of Russia from European energy market. Romanenko's revelations are nothing new, their value, so to speak, is in the fact that such a high-ranking Ukrainian official openly admits that people who US sends to "advice" Ukraine are genocidal maniacs and war criminals. In this sense, this is a very valuable admission. Obviously, Ukraine and her Armed Forces are not capable to close the border between LDNR and Russia but such advice from the US shows that what I just wrote a book about and write about non-stop. I will state it again: 

 American so called "elites" are utterly ignorant on real warfare and what it brings. Their only experience with war is one of the books and TV reports. NO American ever fought in the war where he (she) would fight defending own land, wife, children, relatives who are under constant danger of factors constituting continental warfare--shelling, bombing, starvation, thirst, disease, rape, pillaging. Because of that, there are NO inhibiting forces which, otherwise, would allow moral and human assessment of war and, with it, second thought. Those few in America who get it--they are not in decision making circle. 

In the end, if that is not the crime against humanity, what is?

But that also explains now the hysteria of American ruling class regarding latest Russian weaponry--suddenly they feel threatened by purely conventional, and thus more controllable, escalation which may, indeed, make them vulnerable to all wonderful things of kinetic impacts on them, poor dears, and those who they value--for them it is a new paradigm, they got used to inflict the pain and horror, not to be on the receiving end. With it, all last pretenses of any morality, humanity and consciousness are thrown out of the window and reveal an ugly face of a crumbling Empire.
