... the subject matter--expected from a guy whose "knowledge" of Russia is that of, indeed, warrant officer who never saw anything beyond counterinsurgency (yes, he tragically lost his wife to suicide bomber) and degree in " strategic studies and defense analysis" ONLINE from Norwich University, that is the degree mill for NCO level guys from special forces . The gap becomes immediately obvious.…
Last week, about the fate of Europe (and the West in general) and about how Russians view Europe.
Senator and astronaut Kelly, of course, never understood what he was dealing with, when he uttered this, now a meme, idiocy. Here, four SU-57s are just maneuvering for Egorov and his TV Zvezda show "Military Acceptance". In related news. We all know that Victor David Hanson is a credentialed cretin (as is Pierce Morgan). Here is how this "warfare expert" knows shit about world outside. West's…

Have to do some necessary chores. New video should be up shortly. Have fun.

... he will declare himself Lord God and will rule over the universe. I leave it here without comments. In related news, after the "war is over" I will declare myself a billionaire and will go to Disney Land.
... they are playing the Aviation March which is an official march of Russian Air Force.
... happening and the only issue are purely operational and even tactical details. Russia will destroy Western support for Kiev’s war machine – Lavrov : The minister said Moscow would not resort to the same tactics, but warned that its response would become increasingly severe. “We will not sink to their level. Instead, we will adopt much harsher methods to destroy everything that enables the West…
. .. has no concept of a modern war. He is old and he has no idea what modern warfare is because his experiences as a general officer are limited to a FUBAR of "surge" and witnessing the US bombing with impunity of "enemies" the size of New York city at best. His Vietnam experiences as a tactical level officer with ROTC commission are irrelevant, but he surely knows how to talk tough. Retired Gen.…
... that Roger and David with Nick could do the same--I know it is impossible. But Deep Purple did. John Lord was smiling down from heaven. The only young kid there is Pacey--he is merely 78 years old)) Seeing Ian and Ritchie hugging and Ian's "I see you in the bar"--gratifying beyond description. Never thought I would see Deep Purple's legendary lineup in 2026. Paicey? I am tired listening to…
... serial. A flag-ship for Aeroflot where she is going. Some people may not even grasp the scale of accomplishment, but it is massive--from engines, to electronics, to avionics, to materials, all of it is domestic, all Russian-made. 18 new ships are coming. Meanwhile ... Yep. "Russian cannot fly formation"(c)

Please. This constant reference to the Gulf War 1.0 is nauseating. It is Al Bandy's four touchdowns in the game for his Polk High school. It is not just strategy, however important it is, it is a combination of many factors, including foundational ones, the cultural DNA of the US confabulated military history turned into mythology based primarily on a very cautious choice of weak enemies. Here is…
... Russia's Pacific Fleet, Victor Liina (Estonian, BTW) reports to Supreme Commander, President Vladimir Putin (in Russian) that ... ... Pacific Fleet is ready to start raiding commercial marine traffic of unfriendly states in the Pacific. And who are those unfriendly states? Right. We all know who they are. Do barely afloat Royal Navy or Marine Nationale, not to speak of other Eurochihuahuas,…
... and utterly defeated. How could this be? Long explanation is coming.
... combined West supports. And that is why there is nothing to discuss with it. The fact that the US supports them and turns the blind eye to it, merely shows the nature of modern Washington D.C. and why the US debased itself and continues to do so while proclaiming lofty goals. But then again. Nobody in Russia believes the West. In fact, Russian hatred of the West is now in the open and, as I…
... including Cambridge University and the rest of the "prestigious" universities in the US are academic frauds and degree mills. Cambridge always had only one thing which was admirable--physics and math department. The rest of it, especially in the last 30 or so years is a catastrophe. Modern Western so called "academe" is primarily a collection of brainwashed ideologues--Michael McFaul (McFail)…
Go at it.

... distinguished itself primarily with creation of fairy tales (aka narratives) and utter military incompetency. Russia plans to inflict maximum damage on Kyiv's energy sector by August 24 without waiting for autumn, Ukrainian media reported, citing the US intelligence community. It is reported that the Russian Army can even use a strategic reserve of ballistic missiles for strikes in order to…
... for off-ramp for Trump or the US, it is for off-ramp for Pentagon geniuses who now are soiling themselves trying to calculate the probability of the wrecking ball of the blame for the FUBAR everywhere, from 404 to Iran, hitting them on their heads, with the proverbial rolling after that. Over the last few weeks, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine has privately made clear to other top…
