From Wiki:
Political correctness (adjectivally politically correct; commonly abbreviated PC) is a term used to describe language,[1][2][3] policies,[4] or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society.[5][6][7] Since the late 1980s, the term has been used to describe a preference for inclusive language and avoidance of language or behavior that can be seen as excluding, marginalizing, or insulting to groups of people disadvantaged or discriminated against, particularly groups defined by ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. In public discourse and the media,[4][8][9] the term is generally used as a pejorative with an implication that these policies are excessive or unwarranted

\\Atlantic Council = Ukrainian propaganda!
They just trying to explain realities of Ukraine in simple and easy enough for Westerners terms...
and that terms, happen to be, are propaganda narratives (like stubbornness of Derpy that Ukrainians are nazis -- like there is ANY BODY ON THE WEST CARE ABOUT some nazis in some country far far away).
Yawn.
Now THAT's a waste of some expensive hardware! If I'm going to use AI pilots, I'd at least put them in vehicles that can pull more than 10 G's!
No, The Atlantic Council wants to frame problems in "globalist" terms.
Do you know how to talk about something... without framing it, somehow??? ;-P
I reject their starting premises though. That THIS is the "best possible world". And that it is THIS one that should be "sustained".
Homeostasis!
Persistence. Insistence!
Yawn.
My lang is Physics.
Dunno how to write formula of "insistence" in it...
""Santner specifies how these symptoms can also take the form of disruptions of 'normal' social life, like participation in the obscene rituals of the reigning ideology. Was not the infamous Kristallnacht in 1938 - that half organized, half-spontaneous outburst of violent attacks on Jewish homes, synagogues, businesses, and people themselves - a Bakhtinian 'carnival' if ever there was one? We should read thist Kristallnacht precisely as a 'symptom': the furious...""
BS.
That is just childish attempt to NOT look into face of Reality -- to blame what is natural, a 'symptom' only.
When stray dog suddenly comes onto you from around corner, start barking, and trying to bite your leg.
You do not think about symptom it. Or not. Or whatever.
You just taking stone from the ground. And throwing into it.
No, you sue the owner and he learns to keep his gates shut and dog in.
:P
What is the difference between stray dogs and street dogs?
Street dog - Wikipedia
Street dogs may be stray dogs, pets which have strayed from or are abandoned by their owners, or may be feral animals that have never been owned. Street dogs may be stray purebreds, true mixed-breed dogs, or unbred landraces such as the Indian pariah dog.
Ah... sorry. Subtle difference.
Yet one.
What could this DiBi's words mean? "PART of Putin still lives… the nose."
Nose? WAT???
Well. Still.
This idea.
""Republicans used to loudly brag that Reagan saber rattling was what caused the USSR collapse! And though Carter deserve much of that credit for turnaround and other factors exist, I'll grant that trying to match Reagan's buildup bancurpted the Sovs.""
Still perpetuates inside USA.
Though... it is obviously not true.
That is not USA proves, but USSR inherent deficiencies (inability to renovate... achile's heel of any bureaucratic organism -- USSR, or "never destined to fail" USA corporations) that facilitated that demise.
"I am ever more of the opinion Locum may be having us on."
Is this intelligible phrasing? Err "of" instead of "off"?(I was agonizing about my such stupid mistakes like writing "to" instead of "too"... but it seems native speakers have em too %))
"having us on"???
fyi - Stray or feral dogs are extremely rare in America. Why? We have Animal Control organizations. You'd need to go to Alaska to find wolves.
I don't know what Brin means by "nose survives"...
As for USSR's fall... George Kennan 'X' Long telegram explained the reasons, and Isaiah Berlin agreed, and yet our Democratic Party wants to go down the same sad road....
...and I can't make heads or tails of the locum quote.
Ah, I have the context now locum (person) may be pulling a joke (having us on). "Trying to pull a joke/ trick on us..."
...as in "He is putting us on".
\\fyi - Stray or feral dogs are extremely rare in America.
Whatever.
You want to reassure me that there was not dog that started barking at you. Which created surge of adrenaline and stimulated by it behavior? ;-P
\\I don't know what Brin means by "nose survives"...
Well... there is Russian classic literature text... about nose that started going on its own.
But I take it as extremely rare of a thing to refer to...
Well... I saw that previously. That DiBi deems itself big expert. On RFia. %))))))
\\George Kennan 'X' Long telegram explained the reasons, and Isaiah Berlin agreed, and yet our Democratic Party wants to go down the same sad road....
Well...
1. That was not "war of choice". In case of USSR. Just an inevitability.
Go take ANY example of your big corp of the past -- that looked unshakable. Codak. Sears. Whole Detroit.
As Lenin smuggly put (because he encountered it, not because he was so wise itself) "when higherups CANNOT... and lowerups CARE NOT... about law-enforcement anymore".
2. Exactly episode of "Designated Survivor" just watched... all kinds of cheating perks unleashed... because "that's for the sake of National Security"... and, now even vvar started there. ;-P

Is there something missing, implicitly assumed?
PS Thank you for your kind explanations.
I am "increasingly"...of the opinion that (more sure than before).
And Gogol sounds like a more "eastern" cultural reference. I only read "The Nose" about nine years ago I suppose. Not a popular/ familiar cultural reference here in the US for most.
ps - You're welcome.
So what?
That your pal not (gonna be) interested in possibility to destroy adversaty fleets?
Oh. By the way. How do you like this vid ;-P
Or... that is the same as History teaches -- that old farts generals and admitals need to be bitterly defeated first -- so that clever young colonels and captains would come into power? ;-)
\\I am "increasingly"...of the opinion that (more sure than before).
Why not "even more" then? Err? Mistyping?
I doubt that such profi in writing doing it deliberately. Can he?
Could it refer to the "uncanny" like a "partial animated object"?
Ehm???
Not too persuasive... as for me.
Feeling of some insect/spider crawling on your skin -- much more "uncanny".
Well... as for me, for at least.
Great vid, btw.\
And yes, sometime you need a young Napoleon breaking all the rules (dividing his army & reconstituting it at the point and moment of engagement to defeat the enemy in detail)
I doubt that such profi in writing doing it deliberately. Can he?
It's a bad habit of bureaucrats to write in the passive voice with bigger/ more obscure word choices... when the active voice and simplicity is more direct and effective. I share that bad habit. DJT does not.
Role of heros... and what about whole French nation -- waking from slumber in result of French Revolution? ;-)
\\DJT does not.
That's why they call him fool. ;-P
\\Great vid, btw.\
Then.
There is a question. From profane. ;-P
But still one who know that there is a kingstons... in a ship. And what they are for.
So.. what SMALLEST hole, and in what part(s) of a ship must be -- for it to drown? ;-)
Only an end to “outdated, stereotypical thinking” can help modern armies achieve victory in war, he writes.
Read Valerii Zaluzhnyi’s full essay here.

PS That must read in West Point very closely... how do you think? ;-)
A Kingston valve is a type of valve fitted in the bottom of a ship's plating that connects the sea to the ship's piping and storage tanks. Kingston valves of the Argonaute can be seen on her keel. A Kingston valve is a type of seacock.
/So.. what SMALLEST hole, and in what part(s) of a ship must be -- for it to drown?
You need more than one hole. Ship are designed to have multi-compartment stability. Best way is to run a torpedo under her keel and "break" it. The ship will then tear itself in half.
Ships have many sea chests for "external plumbing" The largest one usually is the main scoop, which supplies circulating water for the main condenser. That's usually where the ballast and fire pumps get their water as well.
But you need multiple holes. Flooding a single compartment will never sink a ship, they're designed to take damage. Lots of watertight bulkheads. And the bottom of the ship is usually compartmentalized into smaller fuel and ballast tanks.
ps - warships are inherently "top heavy"... so put all you holes on one side (port or starboard) and she'll roll over.
The bigger the holes, the fast she'll sink. You don't want to give the damage control teams any time to plug the holes. Duh!
I doubt that such profi in writing doing it deliberately. Can he?
Read Chandler's accounts of the Italian Campaign. By dividing his army, Napoleon could use many mountain passes and roads, not just one. His army was 4x faster on the march than the Austrians.
It also allowed his troops to better "forage" when they were not being resupplied via depots and supply trains.
Zaluzhny will definitely be the subject of some West Point papers, but the real studying will be done at VMI and the Citadel.
I used to play Empires in Arms with former Rats back in my Martin Marietta/ Mk-41 VLS days.
\\You need more than one hole. Ship are designed to have multi-compartment stability. Best way is to run a torpedo under her keel and "break" it. The ship will then tear itself in half.
Do you know such fish --lamprey. Or ordinary leech (damn that English, again) if you wish.
How much of such fish-robots would be needed? To glue itself with a ship. And then blast.
Or even better -- dissolve some acid. Or even something even more sneaky -- some special imitation of ordinary corrosion. ;-P
\\ps - warships are inherently "top heavy"... so put all you holes on one side (port or starboard) and she'll roll over.
Yep. But that would need knowledge about internals of special ship.
Well... not like a very big problem.
More like a chance for more specific "hack". ;-)
\\The bigger the holes, the fast she'll sink. You don't want to give the damage control teams any time to plug the holes. Duh!
Like with eliminating inner control security circuits?
Well... do you know about that stories... in Bermuda Triangle. ;-)
\\ His army was 4x faster on the march than the Austrians.
It was 4 times bigger too...
\\Zaluzhny will definitely be the subject of some West Point papers, but the real studying will be done at VMI and the Citadel.
Well... I mentioned him because of this line: " Technology, he writes at one point, “boasts an undoubted superiority over tradition.”" ;-)
And idea that to win -- one need to be proactive.
But... it seems I need to reach to your colonels/captains... not generals/admirals.
Yawn.
\\I used to play Empires in Arms with former Rats back in my Martin Marietta/ Mk-41 VLS days.
Oh. There lots of that staff... today.
Some boasting even about their being military grade...

I'd go with 3-4, as far apart as possible.
Like with eliminating inner control security circuits?
No, preventing a Seaman from hammering in a wooden plug or covering with boards, braces, and wedges. Very LOW tech.
It was 4 times bigger too... Only at the localized points of "engagement".
First Italian Campaign, 1796-97
His 38,000 French soldiers faced 38,000 Austrians and their allies — 25,000 Piedmontese.
Yeah... but from one side it was ALL army.
While from other -- only vanguard.
You know -- same problem as with today RFia-Ukraine(NATO, soon?).
RFia can thrown in more and more into fight...
\\Like with eliminating inner control security circuits?
\\No, preventing a Seaman from hammering in a wooden plug or covering with boards, braces, and wedges. Very LOW tech.
Modern ships are so big. And crew so low. That it's unbelievable to that seaman to walk around it... to listen/looking is there some leak.
So... eliminating signal system... would mean that they seaman would wakeup in their bads whole wet. ;-)
Or even better -- dissolve some acid. Or even something even more sneaky -- some special imitation of ordinary corrosion. ;-P
You need some holes below the waterline... not above. You'll have a hard time getting acid to work under water w/o being diluted... How about some alkali metals... ???
...just be sure to keep them dry until the final moment. The German U-boats used to use them in their batteries... Oy vey!
US Navy ships usually have 400 men when 32 (or less) could do it all. There are no "alarm systems" on the ship's hulls. You have a "watch" when in port (and at sea). Sonars/radars are inactive dock-side.
The JOOD usually stands watch with a CPO on the quarterdeck near the gangway. He only has a pistol.
\\You need some holes below the waterline... not above. You'll have a hard time getting acid to work under water w/o being diluted...
And how that lamprey able to do its stuff? ;-)
Well... idea is, to make it look "natural death cause". ;-P
Like with increase of cavitation effect, for example. ;-)
Or... removing anode protection.
Or... whatever...
btw - The 1st Italian Campaign was 2 years BEFORE France starting conscripting soldiers...
Conscription was first introduced in France in 1798 with the Jourdan-Delbrel Law (Loi Jourdan). The law required all single men who reached twenty years of age in a particular year (called a "class") to be eligible for conscription for five years. Conscriptees were chosen by ballot in their localities.
RFia also... tried to use "volunteers".
That's classical strategic fork -- fight between forces: one is bigger and can afford more loses, one is inferior, forced to fight from defense and cannot have loses...
To break that spine of Napoleon... Russian Campaign was needed.
Then plug the sea chests with lamprey's or "balloons" inside the chest. Not completely... just so that you only get ~90% water circulation. Every piece of machinery reliant upon a condenser for thermal cooling will overheat (turbines/ generators/ A/C's etc...) I suspect they'll discover the sabotage pretty quickly though, but it will put the ship out of commission until its' next drydocking. It's a shame you can't just "sand" the main reduction gears or lube oil circulating system though (and disable the lube oil purifiers). Main bearings and gears are a b*tch to replace. I don't suppose you have a UAV strong enough to remove the retaining pins and loosen the main prop nut... or drive a few wedges into the prop shaft seal area and destroy the sealing staves and labyrinth seals?
Ukraine's problem is that US/NATO have tied your hands into fighting a war of attrition that favours Russia. Instead of grappling in the trenches you need to use mobile tech from long distances. Like in Cyropedia (Xenophon)... when enemy has archers/peltasts, you need to find ground (like forest) to remove the advantage of these long-range weapons and allow you troops (with short swords) to move in close and cut their throats.
Right now Russia is cutting yours.
...and your one smart general with a clue is about to be sacked...
\\ It's a shame you can't just "sand" the main reduction gears or lube oil circulating system though
Why not? ;-)
Thank you for idea.
How much abrasive would be enough? What time to remove it? What it must be to be less suspicious?
Well... sci-fi provided this idea before you.
In one of Garry Garrison novels -- fleet of invaders was disabled -- with destroying PRECISELY just one small... but very expensive and rare part.
\\ Ukraine's problem is that US/NATO have tied your hands into fighting a war of attrition that favours Russia. Instead of grappling in the trenches you need to use mobile tech from long distances.
And you do not see inner contradiction in it?
"grappling in the trenches" -- that is exactly what RFia would like to reduce it too...
but, does it able to? ;-P
Wanna some more vids?
\\Right now Russia is cutting yours.
As explained by some Ritters in YouTube? :-)))))))))))))))))))))))
There is such Russian anecdote, about Napoleon saying "if I'd have their newspaper 'Truth'... nobody would EVER know about Waterloo". :-)))))))))))))))))))))
RFia able to hold its ground JUST AT COST of 1000 "chmobiks" per day, dozens of tanks, armored vehicles and etc... storming Ukrainian position -- and that way distracting UAF(Ukrainian Armed Forces) from dismantling miserly and stupid... but countless, invaders... bands.
Conclusion.
RFia DEARLY NEED Lend-Lease. ;-P
Will dRump provide it? As Rusvelt did... to help to fight against "nazis"? ;-P
Well... too bad.
They will not hold for such a long time. ;-P
So... you need to do something ASAP... if you want to help Mother Russia... that badly. ;-P
It probably wouldn't take much or too long to damage a ship's main reduction gear with sand.
But why stop there. Here's the manual.
...and no more videos, please. I have no interest in peering into the meat grinder.
As for advice, I'd ask myself what Russia biggest fear was... and then distract them by making sure that it happened.
\\...and no more videos, please. I have no interest in peering into the meat grinder.
Like I gave to you something like that?
\\As for advice, I'd ask myself what Russia biggest fear was... and then distract them by making sure that it happened.
Their biggest fear that they will be wealthy, healthy and prosperous... like you. ;-P
They want to impose 1st world "solutions" on themselves? They must be deranged.
Hah... so Russia... is not FIRST world???
Better you dare to say that to their face. ;-)
\\But why stop there. Here's the manual.
Question is how to scale it up to level of mass-(re)production. ;-)
Of a level and scale of "our pilots eat lots of carrot". ;-)
The future of warfare..
You think you can show to me something more advanced and profound... then Lem? ;-P
No, but I can show you something that's within the realm of current tech possibilityies.
The Germans turned to "tech" solutions at the end. They ran out of time. You need to adapt existing tech. And then mass produce it.
So get crackin'!
:P
The MIT Lincoln Labs boys designed our Lasercomm system for LCRD.
\\No, but I can show you something that's within the realm of current tech possibilityies.
Well... I revealed to you plan of sending probes to a stars...
which is withing current techs...
only NOT social techs...
So, it would need some real deal ww3 to break that glass ceiling that prevent us from reaching stars...
Zeroth Law, remember?
Sigh. :-(((
Nietzsche's... "You seek followers? Seek zeros!"
Naaaaaah.
Asimov's Zeroth Law of Robotechnics -- that's there where robots decided for themself that ki11ing few people for the sake of greater good of "all people" -- is OK.
Well... all people are mortal, anyway.
Problem is, defining the "good". That which does not kill me...
Survivor bias. Heh.
Rats in a labyrinth... all what needed -- enough rats. ;-P
The rats in the labyrinth no longer reproduce. And the beautiful ones do no more than chatter amongst themselves.
At the peak population, most mice spent every living second in the company of hundreds of other mice. They gathered in the main squares, waiting to be fed and occasionally attacking each other. Few females carried pregnancies to term, and the ones that did seemed to simply forget about their babies. They'd move half their litter away from danger and forget the rest. Sometimes they'd drop and abandon a baby while they were carrying it.
The few secluded spaces housed a population Calhoun called, "the beautiful ones." Generally guarded by one male, the females—and few males—inside the space didn't breed or fight or do anything but eat and groom and sleep. When the population started declining the beautiful ones were spared from violence and death, but had completely lost touch with social behaviors, including having sex or caring for their young.
Whatever.
If not monkeys, then rats.
If not rats, then mice.
If not mice, then... cockroachs. ;-P
If not cockroaches... men.
