Christopher Cavoli Lost It...

... not surprisingly he went for the trash-talk.

Their desperation is so thick, you can cut it with the knife. Generally speaking, listening to any US Army officer pontificating on "breakthroughs" is down right risible. There is nothing, zero, zilch in the US military history which is in the same universe as Battle for Moscow, Stalingrad, Kursk and "Ten Stalin's Blows" with Operation Bagration. US Georgian proxy had been literally "disintegrated" in under 96 hours by "backward" Russian 58th Army in 2008. There is nothing that Pentagon has behind its belt which even remotely compares to SMO. Not even close by admission of none other than Cavoli himself. So, we have a combination of intolerable professional envy and recognition of own weakness plus the necessity to placate a restless and utterly incompetent Washington swamp and as the result the loss of remnants of professional integrity and honor accelerates dramatically. Needless to say, there is not a single NATO general in existence who could fight anything even remotely comparable to SMO and survive it professionally and, possibly, physically. So, what's left? Right, trash talk.

LOL))

Shoot with what, morons?

The West has no appetite for a direct military confrontation with Russia over Ukraine, UK Defenсe Secretary Grant Shapps has stated. He also suggested that Berlin is unwilling to provide its long-range missiles to Kiev for fear that they would be used to hit Russian targets in Crimea. On Tuesday, Shapps had said Britain has no problem with its weapons being used by Ukraine to strike the peninsula, which joined Russia in 2014 following a referendum. Most countries, however, do not recognize this territory as Russian. Earlier this month, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron also gave the green light to UK-made weapons being deployed to conduct attacks deep inside Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry responded by summoning the British ambassador and warning that Moscow reserves the right to retaliate against “any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond.”

The speed with which military-technological impotence of the West is being exposed is absolutely mind-boggling. Same goes for absolute degeneracy of military-political elites.

Speaking to the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday, Shapps explained that the West does not shoot down incoming Russian missiles over Ukraine because “we don’t want to be in a direct conflict with Russia... we don’t intend to go and fight that war.”

UK has about zero capability to shoot down anything, especially if it is against a complex salvo of drones and subsonic and hypersonic missiles. The change of rhetoric by London is a confirmation that the only skill NATO has is a trash-talk, the perspective to have RAF base in Cyprus wiped out or have a couple of remaining operational Royal Navy's frigates to be sunk obviously had a cooling effect. So, they do understand consequences after all. My video about this West's trash talk should be up fairly soon. These people from Washington do not even understand how pathetic they look while trying to pontificate on the issues of the real war. The impotent rage, the realization that they are not even in the same league militarily, that all their "military history" is a concoction of Nazi officers and white immigration who created the whole industry (same as Holocaust one) to justify their losing--here is (in Russian) the story of "one million Red Army soldiers executed by NKVD" as described about the author of this garbage by Russian historians.

Печальный детектив: как известный писатель Виктор Астафьев предал своих товарищей и друзей

A sad thriller, how famous writer Victor Astafiev betrayed his comrades and friends.

Pay attention to the issue of meeting in Rome and part of Russian immigration and intel people describing the "conditions" for Literature Nobel Prize. Same pattern, same as with Solzhenitsyn. Always the same.

Ray and Larry...

... having a superb discussion at Judge's.

Kent Rollins' Advice...

... in economy cooking. I am not saying that we will have Great Depression 2.0, but there is a good chance that shit will get really bad. Now, the way Kent presents things is absolutely wonderful--both historic references and cooking proper.

Stews, including presented here Hoover Stew, are very economic way of cooking during hard times. I am not, obviously, referring to the level of food desperation such as was in Russia in 1990s, when many people subsisted on such "diet" as pan-fried onions and bread--this was the time of a near famine in some localities in Russia (that's your Chicago and Harvard school of economics in action). But having basic Krakow sausage, beans and some pasta, certainly, helps and those are staples and they work in providing nutrition and calories.

While I doubt that the US will repeat the horror of Great Depression and the Dust Bowl...

... we still should expect some serious disruption of supply chains which will be more severe than it was during Covid criminal lock-down when such things as milk, bottled water and some meats simply evaporated from very many grocery stores. I will elaborate on the issue of the "Civil War" (I didn't watch the movie yet, because it is a Hollywood neural programming BS), but we should view all that as a steady decline of America's standard of living which is absolutely tangible with the inflation making serious inroads into the grocery prices, especially for people who are in low-paying jobs or unemployed altogether.

Some Comments...

... from me with Nima.

Ryabkov defines US "elites" as:

”There are plenty of people among those in power in the US and other key Western states, who are de facto provocateurs. They’ve made testing Moscow’s resolve the goal of their existence... As they please their own geopolitical notions, they bring closer the phase, in which holding control of events and preventing a catastrophic collapse would be very difficult,” said Ryabkov. “They live in a bubble and do not perceive outside signals that go against their preconceptions.”

My fourth book is precisely about it. On average US "elites" are highly uncultured and uneducated people whose foremost feature is creation of the alternative reality. This, most likely, is the result of US higher education, or rather its degeneracy across the board, because most of US "elites" are children of well to do class, who never experienced real life and serious difficulties and have no moral reference points in their lives. Hunter Biden comes to mind, as does Trump, or majority of US "academe" which has been utterly corrupted by sinecures and pandering to upper class' sensibilities, real scholarship be damned. Add here grotesque religious views and doctrines of a large portion of America's protestant sects and cults and voila'. As Ryabkov concludes:

”As a matter of fact, it is irrelevant for us who the next US president will be,” he explained. “No chance for the improvement of the situation can be seen, considering the fundamental anti-Russian consensus of the American elites.”

Lavrov echoes today:

Russia won’t be viewing Europe as a partner for “at least one generation,” Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has predicted. The diplomat remarked that Moscow and the West are already locked in a confrontation that has no end in sight.

Well, I would say that this is for more than "one generation", because the European politics is a dumpster on fire and until it burns completely out leaving only smoldering remnants, no any meaningful contacts are possible, but then the Europe as we knew it will be gone and I doubt there will be anybody to talk to still--I do not exaggerate when I say that the West (as in Europe) is over. We observe this process in progress as I type it. Which makes me really cringe when reading such news:

PARIS — France’s decision to invite Russia to attend the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings has stoked tensions with allied nations as leaders prepare to gather on the Normandy beaches on June 6. Last month, Paris caught Western countries off guard when D-Day organizers announced they were extending an invitation to Moscow even as Russia launches a fresh offensive on Ukraine. Officials from the United Kingdom, the United States and two other World War II allies expressed concerns over the move, raising questions ranging from the symbolic nature of the occasion, protocol issues and queries about diplomatic engagement with Russian representatives. The White House is not pleased about the invitation, two administration officials told POLITICO. “We would defer to the government of France, which organizes the commemoration at Normandy,” one of the officials said. “But perhaps this will remind the Russians that they actually fought real Nazis once, not imaginary ones in Ukraine.”

As was noted by a few REAL American WW II scholars, there would have been no Normandy Landing if not for the Soviet Union and Red Army. There was also a reason why in Tehran Stalin demanded American, not British, general to lead the landing. But since Anglo-American WW II history is primarily accurately constructed confabulation which for at least three generations "educated" American "elites" (UK is a terminal case, all their WW II "scholars" are primarily of the level of Anthony Beevor, that is the level of a sewer), you wouldn't expect anything from US diplomats and military but arrogance and ignorance. After all, we all know that Patton defeated Hitler and that his 3rd Army's battling 10 operational German tanks in Lorraine is a peak of the military art. Many still believe in those military fairy tales by Hollywood and as US (and British) strategic "planning" in 404 demonstrated--it was done by amateurs.

Obviously, such revelations from no less than Washington Post from 2015 will be increasingly erased in the West:

Don’t forget how the Soviet Union saved the world from Hitler

No worries here, they will forget. Already did. West has the whole industry set up by defeated Wehrmacht and SS which provided talking points for generations of what passes in the West for statesmen, military and government bureaucrats. It is not going to change until the very end, which is near. The US had about 80 years (an instance in historic terms) to get it right, it failed and learned absolutely nothing.

Friday...

... really tired, but life goes on. Go at it. Yes, I know--I am weak, but this is irresistible.

China Spoke...

... so did Putin. The level of coping in the West reaches a fever pitch. Educational foundation for real economy and why the US falls behind.
