Well, Well, Well...

 ... I just spoke to Ania, like 10 minutes ago. 

But as we all know Nuland abdicated and this is the first and most significant sign of reality dawning on the illiterate and incompetent D.C. swamp. But the whole thing was in the making for weeks now. You see, that just proves my point--Nuland and her neocon cabal stuffed with "Russian experts" with such degrees as political science or journalism (that means not having systematic education) had only one thing going for them--their visceral hatred of Russia and Russian people supported by BS geopolitical theories from second-rate Anglo-American scholarship. Obviously, studying warfare is much harder than studying the BS they teach in Georgetown or Harvard in "international relations" or "government". And here is the result--they went against people who would eat them all for breakfast. But impotent rage of London and D.C. is understandable.

So, what's left for them is what the only thing they can do--sabotage, diversionary actions, pure terrorism, killing Skripal's cat et al. Sergei Naryshkin on record today.

МОСКВА, 5 мар — РИА Новости. США и Великобритания участвуют в подготовке сил специальных операций для подрывной работы против России, заявил директор Службы внешней разведки Сергей Нарышкин в эксклюзивном интервью для "Соловьев Live", его фрагменты показали в эфире телеканала "Россия 1". "Американцы, особенно британцы участвовали и участвуют в подготовке сил специальных операций и сотрудников спецслужб для ведения подрывной работы против нашей страны", — сказал он. Так, по словам главы ведомства, газопроводы "Северный поток" и "Северный поток — 2" взорвали англосаксы. Что касается США, то они занимаются созданием широкой разведывательной сети как на территории Украины, так и в других странах, в том числе и в тех, которые граничат с российской территорией, отметил Нарышкин. "То, что американские разведывательные службы участвовали в подготовке и переподготовке сотрудников спецслужб Украины, — очевидный факт", — добавил Нарышкин.

Translation: MOSCOW, March 5 – RIA Novosti. The United States and Great Britain are participating in the training of special operations forces for subversive work against Russia, said the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, in an exclusive interview for Solovyov Live, fragments of which were shown on the Rossiya 1 TV channel. “The Americans, especially the British, participated and are participating in the training of special operations forces and intelligence officers to conduct subversive work against our country,” he said. Thus, according to the head of the department, the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines were blown up by the Anglo-Saxons. As for the United States, they are creating a wide intelligence network both on the territory of Ukraine and in other countries, including those that border Russian territory, Naryshkin noted. “The fact that American intelligence services participated in the training and retraining of Ukrainian intelligence officers is an obvious fact,” Naryshkin added.

So predictable, so trivial, even boring. The attempts of London to parade itself as a meaningful geopolitical player are laughable. The city of London better invest into sanitation and street maintenance than into futile attempts at supporting remnants of geopolitical significance--this is out of UK's league, simple as that. Russia is ready. So, stay tuned.

Let Me Remind You...

 ... a passage from my second book:

This is especially true in the field where the United States self-proclaimed to be the most advanced and powerful force in the world: aerospace. All that was done by dismissing the economic, technological and geopolitical reality which formed in front of the very eyes of the American political class, which simply lacked the required orientation and tools to properly assess an unfolding real revolution in military affairs that the United States was neither ready nor willing to acknowledge—the increasing gap between indigenous, grossly propaganda-inflated exceptionalist military capabilities and the military-technological revolution the U.S. “peers” were undergoing. Russia, in the words of Lt. Colonel Watts, indeed adapted to changing conditions better than the adversary. 

This was written five years ago. And then suddenly after 24 months of SMO this:

Considering the fact that Russia is doing it with about 10-15 percent of her available forces and demonstrated an incredible surge capacity of her industry, yes--Russia is doing really well. So, keep in mind Russian MoD's latest update on VSU losses which have been estimated at 444,000. These numbers will grow dramatically the more Russian troops advance into the former 404 territory even without killing more VSU troops, due to uncovering remains of many more KIAs who are often are not evacuated from battlefield, same goes for wounded who are left to die and can only hope for Russians to get to them before it is too late. Ukrainian POWs, many of them surrendering voluntarily, not only report appalling losses, but ask not to include them into lists for POWs exchange. Also, huge number of 404 women now on the front-lines. BTW, VSU "cut" Volga frequencies to prevent VSU from surrender.

Mystery Solved...

 ... about VSU losses. I also speak about "intellectual" class which is not really intellectual and who played a crucial role in bringing the West down by wiping out everything positive there ever was in the West. 

Open Thread.

 Busy right now. Go at it.
