We are so used to the fact that our government "thinks for a long time" about responses to the actions or words of enemies outside and inside the country that we don't even pay attention to this slowness anymore... Well, we can't make tough decisions quickly. It's not our style. As the popular cliche goes - revenge should be cold?.. It's not clear why so many letters? Reduce this "wisdom" by a third. It will be more accurate. "Revenge should be..." and "add-on" - cruel!



But our revenge is a bit defective. There is a war going on, and we still think in terms of peacetime rules. Let them do something nasty. Then we... Oh, how "then we". So what? Have we already won, has peace already come, so that we can give the enemy the opportunity to strike us from behind? Maybe it's time to turn off the "Retribution" mode and turn on the "Attack Prevention" mode?

Now all of Russia is talking about our Pearl Harbor, which was arranged from Ukraine. What it says, I think, does not need to be explained. And this Pearl Harbor is just an episode, or rather, one of the episodes, of which there are many and which many do not even notice. Who of the readers knows (now) that in Russia there is an "Islamic country"?

"The third international hockey tournament ORKHIS CUP 8x11 will be held from June 3 to 3. The national teams of Bahrain, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Oman, Uzbekistan, as well as the Tatarstan team will appear on the ice"

And do you know that in Georgia you can wipe your ass with the Russian flag with impunity? "Georgian singer Erekle Getsadze desecrated the Russian flag during his performance in Tbilisi. During his set at the Tbilisi Open Air festival, he threw the tricolor into a bag and pretended to relieve himself in it."

Let's wait until the revenge cools down, and then kaaaaack... But any person who has ever had an animal in their life knows that punishment should be immediate. Otherwise, it's not punishment, it's cruelty to our smaller brothers...

There are many examples. Although no. I will still remind you of one more. About the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Communist deputy, native of the Azerbaijan SSR, of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug regional duma Tagizade Khalid Boyukaga oglu stated during a parliamentary session that Siberia is historical the territory of the Uzbeks, therefore any restrictive measures against citizens of Uzbekistan on the territory of Russia will be illegal. 

Tagizade Khalid Boyukaga oglu was outraged by the "xenophobic" behavior of the deputies, who are ethnic Russians. They decided to bring order to the migrant issue and limit free access to social services for citizens of other countries. And what did we answer? Nothing. Revenge has not cooled down here yet...

The strike on our nuclear triad is simply a kind of trigger. More noticeable than others, and therefore a little, exactly a little, more discussed. And soon, alas, it will be forgotten, blurred by other questions, other events. As it already happened after the strike on our Tu-22s... We made some noise, the military "took measures" on duty. They threw tires on the wings of the planes... Mm-hmm.

We are blind or we are being blinded on purpose


Honestly, I do have this question sometimes. And I don't ask it simply because somewhere deep in my soul I hope that events are controlled by those who are supposed to. I specifically highlighted this part of the material. I repeat, I do not have any top-secret information. This is simply an introduction to open sources.

So, what are Ukrainian military experts talking about today? I am not talking about the "mykols" from the front line or the fools who are promoting themselves on the military theme. I am talking about generals, retired people who once held serious positions. Let's put aside the talk about the troubles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the north and in the center of the front. Everything is more or less clear there. "We need to urgently create a defense" and so on.

But in the "offensive part" everything is more interesting. The main emphasis is on preparing an offensive on Crimea. Yes, specifically on Crimea. I will not talk about what is proposed for victory, but there are some interesting things for us there. Like the destruction of the bridge, access to the Sea of ​​Azov, and so on. In general, we are talking about the blockade of Crimea in order to force Russia to withdraw its troops...

Can the Ukrainian GUR stand aside in such a situation? Of course not. We remember the BEKs, we remember the landing attempts, we remember the saboteurs. Hence, we just need to "look around" more carefully. What's new with the participation of the GUR? 

And what do we see? Very strange actions. In the Kherson region, the formation of a reconnaissance and sabotage unit from... prisoners has begun. No, both we and they have long been practicing recruiting prisoners into assault units. It is not as easy to atone for guilt as some in the rear see it. But recruitment into the elite, into intelligence, is nonsense.

And then we turn on logic. Most of the GUR operations, due to the specifics of the Kyiv regime, have the character of some kind of PR campaigns. Lots of noise, lots of "smoke"... And this means serious losses of personnel. But three years of war have already "cleaned up" the GUR personnel. So why waste career intelligence officers where a "one-way" operation is planned?

This means that a unit is being prepared in the Kherson region that will be used specifically in Crimea. It is not yet clear whether this will be a landing or a large number of saboteurs landing at once. But it is already clear that it should be "loud"... And our enemies are not going to make peace. "Pearl Harbor" showed us this perfectly.

Perhaps someone will say in Müller's words (from "Seventeen Moments...") - what two know, a pig knows, but we have long been accustomed to the "madness" from that side. So, returning to the first part of the material, maybe it is worthwhile to deal with this unit now? Before the start of the GUR operation?

Again about "SMERSH"


But there are things for which we, Russians, really should be beaten. In my opinion, since the beginning of the SVO, opinions about the need to revive SMERSH have periodically appeared in the press. The materials appear and then disappear. They appear after another betrayal, another painful failure, and disappear under a pile of new relevant News.

"Death to Spies" at one time did exactly what its name suggests. Eliminated spies and their accomplices. But we live in the 21st century. Today there are no spies who penetrate somewhere, steal something from the safes of secret physicists and army generals.

Today, with every “secret physicist”, with every stationary launch missile installation, each military plant has its own "SMERSH". Its own service for the protection of military and state secrets. There are many workers. They fill out a lot of papers. Everything is fine, at first glance. "Fuck you, you damned bourgeois, and not our military secret!"

Our "Kibalchish boys" will never tell it to the enemy!!! Not for a jar of jam, not for a box of cookies! And for two jars? For three jars? Or just out of stupidity? They won't tell it either, or are there options? Even with the existence of a bunch of "domesticated SMERSH"?

Open Danwatch or Der Spiegel three days before Pearl Harbor. You'll be surprised, but you'll learn a lot of interesting things about... our nuclear triad! Here you'll find the location of objects, diagrams, drawings, and characteristics of military facilities of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces. I can't judge the reliability of these documents, I simply don't have access to such information, but it all looks pretty gloomy. For example, materials about two bases near the city of Yasny in the Ural Mountains.

Journalists refer to a "leak" in the Bundeswehr. Well, it happens. 2 million documents "leaked"! Now they are openly available in the West. Moreover, the Germans do not hide the fact that they received the information... from Russian open sources. In particular, from information about open tenders published by our Russian organizations.

Want to know the layout of the underground tunnels or the base floor plans? Please! Are you interested in the engineering structures or the security system? Please! Any whim for your money. And the information is fresh, just "out of the oven". You can even get information about the materials used in repairs.

The German concern Knauf is known to any builder in Russia. And there are quite a lot of such Knaufs from Europe that participated in tenders. After all, quite a lot of time has passed since President Putin’s announcement of a large-scale modernization of our nuclear triad, let me remind you – 2018.

Barracks, headquarters, observation towers, underground passages have already been built, and motion and radiation sensors and protective barriers have been installed. Moreover, they were built with the active participation of suppliers from the EU. This is the candybober with the Russian nuclear triad. We "danced" wildly.

I wonder if those who are obliged to control such things by their job have already realized what damage they have caused with their "toothless attitude" to work or are they still thinking about it? How much of our rubles will it cost to review and change the design solutions at the Strategic Missile Forces facilities? The irresponsible "General Petrov and Colonel Ivanov" will of course be punished.

But the problem is not with the scapegoats. The problem is with the system of protecting military and state secrets. Protecting a "physicist" or a military facility is one thing. This is a specific task with specific solutions. But "domesticated" SMERSH "cannot and should not do things outside the facility. And who should? Whose head should the Commander-in-Chief "rip off"? Who is the boss who is currently wearing this "head on his shoulders"?

Instead of conclusions


I experienced the strike on the carriers of atomic bombs and missiles quite painfully. The first impression, the many versions of events, the numbers of destroyed and damaged... At such moments, feelings often deprive a person of logical thinking. The heart becomes more important than the brain. 

Only when the "fiery motor" got down to business and stopped interfering with "cold reason" did the haze of what had happened begin to dissipate. That's why sensible thoughts about the attack and its consequences appeared. The first question that arose was: "Where did the firewood come from?" Our Ministry of Defense, as usual, is silent, but the khokhloSMI gives out information every minute.

What do we have at the time of writing? First of all, Zelensky's statement. Remember: "41 aircraft were destroyed, our people were evacuated from Russia, Russia lost 34% of its strategic cruise missile carriers" and so on. And video of hits...

Yes, the destruction of even one Tu-95 is painful for us. We cannot produce such machines today. For various reasons, but we cannot. Maybe someday... But I doubt it too. Why build the old when the new is relevant? Yes, our image has been seriously damaged. Yes, we will have to replace the carriers. But...

Is it true that 41 planes were destroyed? I doubt it very much. Rather, the number that was announced was the planned one, and Zelensky was told it was the real result. Why did I think so? I just remembered a video where truck drivers were shooting down planes taking off with stones. drones. I remembered the burnt launcher.

It is not without reason that such operations are planned with a large reserve, with a large "corporal gap". There is no 100% guarantee of the stability of the equipment. So the plans are automatically adjusted. Including by those "stone throwers" I wrote about above. By the way, in my opinion, the men fully deserved something more than a "huge thank you". 

I don't even want to write about 34 percent. The figure is questionable in many respects. Starting from the number of destroyed aircraft and ending with doubts about Kiev's knowledge of the real number of carriers in Russia.

And the last thing. About the withdrawal of saboteurs from the territory of Russia. Oh, Zelensky is being disingenuous. Just as he is disingenuous about the time frame for preparing the operation. I think the operation was prepared for a year or a little more. But this is enough to involve a fairly large number of performers in its organization. The top can be withdrawn, and the rest - "for meat". There is a lot of work for the military prosecutor's office here. The "tails" are now in Russia, and they need to be caught.  

They want to "eat us quietly". Just like small dinosaur predators once ate huge herbivores. The nervous system of giants was so imperfect that predators managed to tear off a leg of a herbivore before it got to the point where someone bit it in that leg. At least, that's what we were told in biology lessons at school...

    I agree that the operation was prepared for a long time and that our intelligence slept through its preparation. Regarding the revival of SMERSH, we already have the FSB, which is engaged in this. If we rename it SMERSH, nothing will change. Therefore, we need not rename the services, but increase the efficiency of their work.

      They want to "eat" us. A little about the terrorist attack that was committed and something else

      And we (our management) continue to chew snot, showing miracles of professionalism in management...
      Planning, anticipating, (even) creating responses appropriate to the situation - these are not our strong points...
      And no one will come, help, or direct... Because there was never that guiding and directing force, there was only an uncontrollable desire to rule for the joy of oneself and “one’s own,” who are not only not abandoned, but are revived in every possible way and brought to work, where they are of no use, like a male goat of a very old age.

        What did you expect, the guarantor built a pyramid of power, now all responsibility is on him... And heads? Heads will fly in their places, since in the pyramid those who fall out are those who are on the edge or those who were appointed there... But in theory, the following should fly off their chairs: the commander of strategic aviation with all his deputies and further down the districts, bases, etc. In a word - a mess. It's time to cancel the moratorium on the death penalty, introduce confiscation of property up to the seventh generation and imprison for nepotism regardless of rank and merit, even for combat...

          Could you share an idea of ​​what exactly the commander of the base, where the planes arrived 2 weeks ago, should have done to avoid a truck with drones approaching within 3 km of the base?

            A truck cannot drive within 3-5 km of a base, airfield, submarine basing site, etc. without a pass. I lived 27 years in the Arctic and there are a lot of bases and basing sites that you can’t even get within 40-50 km of.

              Have you seen the video of the guys shooting down drones with rocks from a truck? There was a column of smoke - it was clearly not 50 km away but 3-5 km.. just a fact.. go to the maps yourself and see - what's there to argue about? It's less than 3 km from Vysokoye and 7 km from Olenegorsk.. and I agree that many places are inaccessible due to the lack of public roads..

            The base commander must have an organized air defense system, because this is not the first UAV raid on the airbase. If the VKS still does not understand the danger of UAVs, and there is a complete lack of standard means of combating them, then the commander who does not understand that the front line of the fight against Ukraine is all of Russia is responsible.

I proceed from the Charter and requirements for organizing guard duty - from which the airbase commander must proceed .. but why there were no new instructions - a good question, but not for the base commander, but higher ... now I think - they will appear, although if there is a scapegoat - it is quite likely the commander ..

            The base commander must ensure that his subordinates strictly follow all instructions to ensure the security of the strategic facility and everything located on it, especially if there are bombers there!
            These instructions must be handed down to him from above and take into account all possible threats!
            The most important commander in aviation must think about the development of all measures and answer with his head to the commander-in-chief!

            Accordingly, for failure, the commander-in-chief must rip off the head of the aviation commander and appoint a new one, who then decides how to avoid a repeat of the failure and, if necessary, rips off the heads of his deputies and appoints new ones, and so on down the chain!

            And this process should have been launched with the first successful attack on our airfields back in 2022!

            Then today's situation probably wouldn't have happened! And they wouldn't have explained to us that the strategists had to stand on open platforms from the START-3 treaty and the Americans had to take care of their safety!

            In short, today again it is not our fault, it is the Americans who were unable to keep an eye on the SBU!

          Political intelligence is the search for and acquisition of preemptive data on the foreign policy intentions of foreign powers, international and socio-political organizations, leading foreign political leaders; conducting operations and events that promote the goals of Russian foreign policy in the international arena.

Have we already won, has peace already come, so that we can give the enemy the opportunity to strike us from behind? Maybe it's time to turn off the "Retribution" mode and turn on the "Attack Prevention" mode?
        We have both modes limited. And neither revenge nor revenge. "We will respond." When and how? They would have bombed this whole snake pit long ago. But they are milking everything little by little. And preventing this is a problem. Everything has been destroyed since the 90s, and in the 2000s they built dachas.

        The failure of the blitzkrieg, which almost happened, as I see it, was caused by the insufficiency of the forces involved! The subsequent actions of the General Staff, in principle, showed quite competent work, based on the available forces. So, how to do it and what is needed for this, the General Staff knows, the question is: why there were not enough forces initially, perhaps the question is not for the army!

        The aviation command, which is responsible for the combat capability of the aviation itself, clearly failed in its job! And the results of these people's work are still being heard!

                So you can come up with an accusation out of anything.

      Sorry, but SMERSH was an army counterintelligence service, that is, it had nothing to do with the Chekists. During WWII, the NKVD, like today's FSB, had operational battalions that were capable of reacting quickly and were very mobile at the time. The rear guard units (not even close to the current Russian Guard) were staffed with PV fighters and NKVD units that had combat experience) now there is no such thing.

          The army had the Main Directorate of Counterintelligence "SMERSH" of the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR, which was subordinate to the People's Commissar of Defense.
          The Navy had the SMERSH Counterintelligence Directorate of the NKVMF of the USSR, which was subordinate to the People's Commissar of the Navy.
          And the NKVD had only the Counterintelligence Department (OKR) SMERSH NKVD USSR, which dealt exclusively with the NKVD - "for intelligence and operational support of border and internal troops, police and other armed formations".

          That's the whole point, that with the formation of SMERSH, the army and navy withdrew their counterintelligence from the NKVD and placed it under their control. Because SMERSH was created from the Special Departments, which were subordinate to the NKVD.

      Well, first of all, there were three SMERSHs, independent of each other. And the head organization in matters of state security of the USSR was the NKGB. Can there be effectively three different special services in one country, well, only in movies and books, NO. Therefore, in 1946, all three SMERSHs were transferred to the MGB. And by the way, the NKGB, not SMERSH, was in charge of protecting state secrets in the defense industry. Staver simply does not know about this and is making up dirt.

      I agree that the operation was prepared for a long time and that our intelligence slept through its preparation. Regarding the revival of SMERSH, we already have the FSB, which is engaged in this. If we rename it SMERSH, nothing will change. Therefore, we need not rename the services, but increase the efficiency of their work.

      How can we improve efficiency?
      In the USSR, all employees of the special services, intelligence, counterintelligence, firmly knew that the state, if anything happened, would not leave them or their families in trouble!
      They knew for sure that when they retired they would not be forgotten, but would have a decent salary/pension, housing, and their exploits would be remembered, if not in a wide circle, then certainly in a narrow one! That is, there was an idea/ideology.

Create special programs to identify Russians loyal to Ukraine and carefully check them. Work with your population to identify and prevent recruitment of citizens, etc.

      3. The manufacturer makes money on the service by offering software updates.
      4. And most importantly, it allows the user to block the equipment by turning it into scrap metal in case of an attempt to seize it by third parties. For example, the user leaves the country for some reason (sanctions, conflict with local authorities, etc.) and in order to protect his KNOW-HOW, he simply blocks the entire production without bothering to remove the equipment, which can no longer be used for its intended purpose.

    The word "revenge" is not suitable for such a great country as ours. There is another word "Retribution". This word has a completely different meaning. SMERSH was organized when the liberated population was being filtered. Any security service should not advertise its activities. This service should be seen by everyone, but no one should see it. All the praise is in the corridors of the department. I recently read a topic that concerned the Cossacks. In the past, they were a great force. Military training, work on the land, border protection - all this has little to do with the Cossacks and the stage.

With concern and meticulous reports on the destruction of military facilities on enemy territory, the effectiveness of which sometimes raises questions? Will it respond with an empty "Oreshnik" and the chatter of talking heads in the media?
      In the war correspondent's view, the Russian Federation is not simply "number two" in the protracted conflict with Ukraine, failing to respond to acts of genocide against its own citizens and allowing the enemy to methodically and purposefully destroy its troops. The refusal to make tough decisions in combat conditions and the unwillingness to carry out sabotage work on enemy territory can cause disappointment, bewilderment and even suspicion among the public.
      We have been waiting for the punishment of the Nazis who kill our children for four years, and in return we are offered promises of negotiations with an empty cocaine monkey. Russia is in a difficult situation, when the main deficit is the lack of political will in its leadership.

    Regarding the Tatarstan national hockey team, well, it's on the same level with the national teams of Bahrain, Lebanon, Oman at that tournament, all we can say is that we will soon see the Chechen national team in some kind of sport at some international sports tournament or competition. By the way, about competitions. Only a blind person or one who has taken the pose of a frightened ostrich can fail to see that there is a competition going on - a fight between Kazan and Grozny, who will catch up with the capital of the United Arab Emirates faster in luxury! And do you think that in ten years the destroyed "Groznys" of the Russian Donbass will also be all in marble and skyscrapers - like today's Grozny in Chechnya???

      the struggle between Kazan and Grozny to see who can catch up with the capital of the United Arab Emirates faster in terms of luxury!

      Because the Tatars care what happens to Kazan. The only Tu-25M160 bomber built from scratch in 2 years is named after the first president of Tatarstan, Mintimer Shaimiev. Because he saved the Kazan aircraft plant in the 90s and did not allow the scrapping of the work in progress. The bureau in Moscow and Tupolev enterprises in Ulyanovsk and Samara were also destroyed. Shaimiev, despite everything, saved a whole chunk of industry.
      Advisor to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan Nazir Kireyev reminded BUSINESS Online that thanks to Shaimiev, four Tu-160 backlogs from the early 90s, which were quite likely to be scrapped, were essentially saved: “In some government departments, where I had to sign a resolution on measures to provide operational assistance to the plant, which was left almost without most of its commercial products after Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin’s decision to stop purchasing Tu-22M3 and Tu-160, they demanded that the clause on preserving the backlog of Tu-160s be excluded. They justified this by the fact that no ministry or department was raising this issue, and also by the fact that the country’s president had recently closed the Tu-160 topic by decree. “And you are working to ensure that it is preserved in the government document,” they told me. I managed to defend the clause.” One backlog was completed in 2000, the second in 2008. The third became an important part of the Tu-160M ​​program.

    The author's anger is understandable and understandable. But it's all just letting off steam.
    Russia has capitalism, and that’s about money and not about love for the Motherland.
    The government in Russia is thieves. Our guarantor has already declared to the entire planet - We are our own, bourgeois! Why did the West treat us like this? We also want to be part of the world imperialist elite and we also want to rob and trade.
    The guarantor is certainly an authoritative thief, and his oligarch friends are a match for him. But he forgot (or forgot) the most important thing - the planet was divided long ago. The Earth is ruled by 300 of the richest families on the planet, of which the main 10 are the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, etc.
    First they destroyed the USSR and the SEF countries.
    And now with the help of the guarantor they are destroying Russia. In Russia the guarantor with "Chubais and Co" liquidated all industry, the military-industrial complex, military schools, the army, the air force, the navy, cosmonautics, science, education, etc. The population refuses to give birth, it is replaced by migrants.
    The guarantor called for help from class enemies - Korean communists, to liberate Kursk region, we can no longer cope on our own. And no one answered for this.
    Another example - this morning the news said that 1.000.000 hectares of forest are burning in Zabaikalsky Krai. A week ago 100.000 hectares were burning, which is also not a small amount. And no one will be held responsible for this either.
    Now everyone is expecting some kind of "magic" from the negotiations in Istanbul. All this is nonsense, because the next negotiations will end with another Ukrainian respite, regrouping and an "unexpected" counteroffensive in the style of "Kursk 2". And the guarantor will openly lie to us with a straight face - they were leading me by the nose again, such bad Europeans and Americans.
    The fate of Russia and its further existence in the West was decided long ago.
    This war will end either in a nuclear catastrophe or in the destruction of Russia. We don't have time, we are dying out in the truest sense of the word.
    And the Rothschilds and Rockefellers are in no hurry, they don’t have time, well, you get the idea.

        And this will mow down the first ones - like a boomerang.

        Well, what are these "ALL" resources of the Russian Federation that, if unavailable, will cause a sharp jump in prices?
        Oil - there is more free capacity than the Russian Federation's share and it is also cheaper to extract.
        Gas is not funny anymore.
        Coal - even fraternal China doesn't really take it.

        In the event of a nuclear attack, the delivery of Natashas to Dubai will be complicated for a time - and then only for a short time.

        But still, it is curious to learn about the irreplaceable resources from the Russian Federation.

          Everything, including what you listed, will become more expensive by at least the share of the Russian Federation from the sale of these resources. In addition, the destruction of the main competitor will allow, for example, the same OPEC countries and Venezuela to raise prices for any the level is interesting to them, and the shale producers are trading at a loss - well lol nonsense.
          But there are things - for example uranium - that are completely irreplaceable in the long term of several years or even decades.
          Therefore, in the event of the destruction of Russia
          - at least a 2-fold price increase for ALL resources is guaranteed.

            at least a 2-fold price increase for ALL resources is guaranteed.
            Well, overall everything is clear and understandable.

            Let's just talk about oil, because the rest can be understood by analogy, looking up the figures yourself. And oil is now the most significant in the income structure.
            The price of oil at the end of February 2022 is about 100 dollars per barrel. At the end of May 2025 62,7.
            Two factors of decline are growth in production (for example, fraternal Kazakhstan) and decline in consumption (for example, hybrids and electric cars).

            Volume of the Russian Federation in the oil market 12%, look at Wiki:
            "The list of OPEC oil producing countries is based on data published in the Annual Statistical Bulletin 2023 of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Oil production by country is given in thousands of barrels per day.
            The list of countries by oil production by British Petroleum is based on data published in the annual Statistical Review of World Energy 2024 by the British oil and gas company British Petroleum. Oil production by country is given in millions of tonnes and as a percentage (%) of world production."https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BA_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D0%BF%D0%BE_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%8B%D1%87%D0%B5_%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%84%D1%82%D0%B8

            And only the Saudis with the cost price $ 10. per barrel can solve the problems of falling out 0,97 million barrels (guess whose barrels) per day: "the state, remaining the main owner of the company, has a strong influence on it. Both positive and negative. In January 2024, Saudi Aramco announced that, by order of the Ministry of Energy, it had frozen its previous plans (in which it had invested significant funds) to increase production capacity to 13 million barrels per day by 2027, i.e. to increase its per 1 million barrels/s from 2023 level." https://www.geors.ru/jour/article/view/483

            1. Rumors that the Russian Federation may significantly (in TWO laughing times) to influence the prices of something are greatly exaggerated.
            2. Moreover, "natural resources" are concentrated in the hands of those who do not need to be named and who will not reduce their income. Moreover, the cost of extracting such resources is very high (if you are interested, look it up yourself).

                1. There can't be a "nuclear ashes on the site of the Russian Federation" for one simple reason - there aren't enough nuclear weapons to create a "ashes". Just read Military Review, where articles have repeatedly discussed both a possible attack by the US (on nuclear weapons carriers) and by Great Britain/France - on cities. In neither case does a "ashes" result.

                2. Using the example of the most important export commodity - oil - with numbers, you were explained that the share of the Russian Federation on the world market: 2.1. - is small; 2.2. - can be quickly and cheaply replaced.
                This is in the hypothetical case of the total disappearance of the territory of the Russian Federation (which cannot happen).
                And here we need to move on to point 3.

                3. "And the remaining 300 families" in the case of the "missed blow from the US/UK" variants will not cut each other, but will consolidate control over what they already control - "natural resources". But in the new reality, natural resources will "go by barter", for weapons, food and iodine-containing drugs.

                4. "a 2-5-10 times price jump for all resources" - it is clear that you "don't care" about the numbers (2-5-10 times). But if you want a dialogue, then try to confirm your theses with authoritative sources with numbers.
                Fantasies about "2-5-10 times", "ash heaps" and the like are not interesting to discuss. Thank you for your understanding.

                P.S. Russian women who leave for the West are truly irreplaceable in the West. They are beautiful, smart, earn their own money, and admire men "as is". But if nuclear weapons are used, I am afraid they will leave there very quickly.
                However, there are also Filipinas...

      b) Didn't forget and didn't forget. The local mafia knows well who is the boss and who has the money. All their movements (including military exercises) are aimed at one goal - to be heard and to come to an agreement with them. They were given a label for reigning and a mandate to plunder the local territory. And they will carefully send the money and everything else.

      The West is not united, and there are different opinions on the fate of Russia. No one really sees it as a strong and independent country (regardless of its social system).
      This war will end either in a nuclear catastrophe or in the destruction of Russia.

      a) Nuclear war is completely out of the question. A fool doesn't need a knife.
      b) Destruction of Russia. In general, the point of the Yeltsin-Putin government is to plunder everything, have a good time and get out of here. Of course, as the assets of the object of plundering, that is, the Russian Federation, are exhausted, it weakens. The assets run out - the Russian Federation falls apart, the "patriots" leave. That's all true.
      But this particular war will not lead to the direct destruction of the Russian Federation (not to be confused with Russia). Why such alarmism? Everything is heading towards an endless, sluggish war.

      The question arises again: who is to blame and what to do?

      Who's guilty:
      Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko, Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Medvedev.

      What to do:
      Disperse the anti-people Duma, defending the interests of those who put them there (oligarchs). Convene a Constitutional Assembly (a law about which no Duma has dared to pass and will not pass) and adopt a new Constitution. This is the only way to change the vector of the country's movement.

      Putin, through "Time of Heroes" changes the country's elite in an evolutionary way. In this confrontation, there are also the first victims: the hero of the SVO Zaur Gurtsiev, deputy head of Stavropol, was killed. If this does not reach the current ones, then the more they persist, the sadder their fate will be...

    That's why sensible thoughts about the attack and its consequences appeared. The first question that arose was: "Where did the firewood come from?" Our Ministry of Defense, as usual, is silent, but the khokhloSMI gives out information every minute
    - Where did you get the firewood from???
    Barracks, headquarters, observation towers, underground passages have already been built, and motion and radiation sensors and protective barriers have been installed. Moreover, they were built with the active participation of suppliers from the EU. This is the candybober with the Russian nuclear triad. We "danced" wildly.

    The system of giants was so imperfect that predators managed to tear off a leg from a herbivore before it got to the point where someone bit him on that leg.

    This "until it gets there" is the main reason for the failure of the SVO. The Kremlin does not even understand what kind of catastrophe Russia is heading towards, let alone "for now...".

    Well.
    Everyone knew, but pretended it was nothing.
    The president of Islamic Chechnya calmly brings people to his country from Russia and the former Ukraine, calmly declares jihad on Mnyama, writes off his own debts to Gazprom and takes land from his neighbors. (open media sources)
    And nothing. Law? No... the president.

    And now the authors are writing in droves about the “uselessness” of the damaged Tu 95s and other things.
    They are not bothered by the cost, the impossibility of production, or the numerous media reports about its use....

    Well, everyone understands everything, but you can’t name your full name... or any specific numbers either.

    And "eat"? Well, that's capitalism. They eat everyone and everything. Look, as soon as the White Nosers start to speak out, there's an attack on Batka by our media and authorities - like, he's managing poorly, ineffectively, we, the effective managers, should be managing... it didn't work out.

    Here's what's not clear. The cult of Stalin has long been debunked, and we feel sorry for his planes, the Tu-95, created by the damned communists. Maybe the priests, football players and bankers will work hard and build even better new bombers. "All that's unnecessary must fall off," said pilot Kokkinaki when he broke the fifth wheel on the test plane during landing. "Let them burn," my uncle, a doctor of science, once said about the Siberian forests. He created a theory for monitoring forest ecological systems using space technology from satellites. In his opinion, fires renew the forest and promote the evolution and competitiveness of plants. Berry bushes produce excellent harvests after a fire. Burned-out old planes will make it possible to renew the fleet and create jobs for young design engineers.

    I agree that the operation was prepared for a long time and that our intelligence slept through its preparation. Regarding the revival of SMERSH, we already have the FSB, which is engaged in this. If we rename it SMERSH, nothing will change. Therefore, we need not rename the services, but increase the efficiency of their work.

    I agree. If grandma had...

    Intelligence, intelligence. It's really only her fault.
    Who brought the army to a state of incompetence? Have you forgotten how the mobilization was carried out in 2022? The military registration and enlistment offices knew nothing, the warehouses were rusty and there was no equipment at all. Memory like a fish. Read about the PAK DA, about the Armata. Where is everything? Import substitution since 2014 is neither here nor there. Something real is only now appearing, when the sanctions have tightened. Where are our civilian aircraft?

    Their intelligence is to blame. Abroad, intelligence is satellites and drones, not tank biathlon! Our satellite grouping is still weak against theirs. And when was the value of UAVs appreciated? Well, they remembered. Certainly not after observing the actions in Karabakh. We are bad at learning from other people's experience.
    The problem is systemic and it must be solved decisively, without whining. Well, they will appoint some "effective" manager. But at least he is their own.

    Maybe he didn't report, but warned? These are different things. Especially if the response is with the help of ballistic instruments, which, it seems, includes the same hazel. It seems like we always warn even about exercises with nuclear weapons carriers. So that abroad they don't make nervous movements.

    You know that in Georgia you can wipe your ass with the Russian flag with impunity?

    Do you know what Korzhakov wrote?
    Here is what Korzhakov wrote in his book about the habits of the so-called first president:
    However, Yeltsin still managed to get Dasha mad. One day she couldn't stand it and complained to me:

    - Comrade General, what should I do? Boris Nikolayevich stubbornly wipes himself in the toilet not with paper, but with face towels with the Russian coat of arms embroidered in gold. They are washed in a common machine, it is unhygienic. And they are expensive, and I am financially responsible...



    And Putin, the successor of his work, erects monuments to this eternally drunk scum, who killed a great country, killed millions of Russians with impunity, and builds expensive Yeltsin centers.

    If Brezhnev's time was called stagnation, then Putin's time should be called a time of missed opportunities, or, to put it simply, a time of chewing snot. I don't understand at all why so little has been done in 30 years in power. It's not even worth comparing with Stalin, although both took over the country in ruins. But Stalin didn't have petrodollars and support from world countries. Plus progress, many things that used to cost as much as the Eiffel Tower, a student can now afford. The people are the same, or rather, the same people. They also steal, betray, kill, but for some reason under Stalin they cut down trees, put many against the wall, and here they are called the elite. I'm not even talking about wartime. Putin is no Commander-in-Chief, he is an effective manager in peacetime, but he can't handle wartime. Maybe it's enough to shamefully call the war SVO? Why should ordinary men throw stones at drones? Even I, who am far from the service, understand that strategic facilities should have towers along the perimeter, with appropriately armed soldiers. Okay, the strategic treaty prohibits hiding bombers in hangars, but a simple shelter with a metal mesh could have been made. Any normal construction engineer can calculate it in one go and build it. The worst thing in this situation is that none of the big stars will be held responsible for this.

    Guys! In order to revive SMERSH and, in general, to effectively mobilize, both the government and the people need to admit that our dream of a Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok turned out to be extremely harmful. And it was for the sake of this dream that we destroyed the socialist camp and the USSR. And don't say that the people are not to blame. They are to blame! And the fact that foreign firms worked at the facility, which would later become secret, that's the market, gentlemen... The main thing is profit! The Nord Streams were supposed to bring in a huge profit!
    It is very difficult to admit your mistakes. And also scary. There are objective reasons not to do it abruptly - we can go Maidan. And then there will be a complete collapse.
    So let's evaluate ourselves objectively, be patient and do what needs to be done. Then, God willing, Russia will remain after us.
    And they prepared the operation well, we must give them credit...

    The main thing is that the enemy is acting actively, that the operation is against our strategists, that the undermining of the Northern Streams, that the destruction of the cruiser Moskva, that the explosion of the Crimean bridge. They do not waste time on what will happen next and how we will respond, they set the task and act. Our military does this at the front, and this is usually the lower level, the same operations with a pipe or barbecues on tanks. But at the high level, everyone is always afraid of something. NATO is not afraid of us and carries out any operations, but it is as if our hands are tied

    Staver, you took the news out of context again.
    From June 8 to 11, the third international hockey tournament among Islamic countries, Tatneft ORHIS Cup, will be held in Kazan on the ice of Tatneft Arena. This year, the participants will compete in a 3x3 format. The tournament is organized by Tatneft under the auspices of the Organization for the Development of Islamic Hockey.

    The competition will involve 8 men's amateur teams from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Lebanon, Bahrain, Iran and Oman. Russia will be represented at the tournament by the amateur team of the Republic of Tatarstan.

    Where is it written that Tatarstan acts as a separate country?
    And, moreover, this tournament is not under the jurisdiction of the IHF.

    Unfortunately, the entire system of power is built on "pleasant" individuals. And any punishment inevitably affects the little people who are personally pleasant to the top. Who, naturally, will not fail to complain to the top, like, how is it possible, you are putting pressure on my protégé, Ouch, how bad. And total irresponsibility arises.
    By the way, remember how during the notorious perestroika, the no less notorious "foremen of perestroika" howled hysterically and fell into an epileptic fit that the party-Soviet nomenclature was irresponsible and unpunished. Today, in a quarter of a century, we have come to what the USSR had been moving towards for 70 years.
    Regarding retribution. The lack of political will is clearly visible. IMHO, the West has made it clear what the consequences will be for the newly-minted nobility and boyars if they cross its "red lines". Confiscation, not arrest, of all the money and real estate, and, as the cherry on the cake, sending the offspring of these nobility and boyars to prison. And the upper classes are openly hesitant to deliver a truly sensitive retaliatory blow, because the newly-minted nobility and boyars from the Baltic to Kamchatka and from Murmansk to Makhachkala, who have rebelled over the loss of money and mansions, are not a rally of a bunch of liberals with "they are just children".
