    1. Do you get it, that not everybody in the World listen to your pundits. And know all memes.

      Yawn.

    2. You said it was a "local" symptom. In '91 it started moving East from the Berlin Wall. It's much less "local" than you currently comprehend.

      Delete
    3. Naah. About "In '91 it started moving East"... I first heard, well read, just now, in your blog.

      While I exactly to the East.... "from the Berlin Wall".

      So. I assumed. That it all just a local buzz.

      Yawn.

      PS You know? Not all world (still ;-p) watching NBC and listening CNN. ;-P

      And. For a minute. I, from that infinitesimal minority of that crowd... that know English. And putting it into use.

      What interest can show ones who talk soahili or mandarin... I leave you as free lesson... you will not from, anyway.

      Yawn.

    6. If you want to hear the official US State Department posiition on a subject, listen to CNN... or don't. I could give a 'f. i was merely relaying a trivial fact.

      Delete
    7. So did I.

      That soon. Nobody will give fk, about what relaying CNN.

      IF USA would continue playing chicken. Headless chicken.

      Yawn.

    10. Pft!

      Than, you need a lot of power. Escrowed from new techs. To make it possible.

    11. Hey, don't look at me. I was always a Franklinian 'Articles of Confederation' guy. The Constitution turned 13 States into a United STATE of America. Nobody wanted to pay France back for renting its' Navy. Cheap f*cks!

      Delete
    12. Whatever... nobody wants to become smarter. ;-p

      Until here is ass-biting need to do so.

      And your ass-biting is near, USA.

    13. Epimetheus always was the "risk taker". Prometheus' only virtue was in the fire-stealing department.

      Delete
    14. Your position (forethought) is that of Prometheus. You fore-cast as ass-biting. As Epimetheus (afterthought), his brother, I'll take the 'risk" and hold onto to the bottle my wife Pandora gave me... with the "hope" stuck in it.

      Delete
    15. Naaah. That is not forecast. That is -- Physics.

      Remember? Brick. Head. And what will happen if they'll meet each other.

    16. Now all processes gained Inertia.

      RFia... cannot stop militarisation and pumping up that balloon of imperialism.
      China... cannot stop supporting em, to not "lose face", which in their culture are biggest anathema.
      And. USA... cannot stop playing pussies. Until too late.

      Yawn.

      That all because I diligently learning lessons of History.

      There is no flimsy "foretelling" in it. No wishful "predicting".

      Who am I to you? Some psychologist? ;-p

      Naaah. I am technologist. And use only stone cold facts.

    17. You're right. One can't underestimate Russian and Ukrainian stupidity. But you can forget any hope of US bailing you out of this mess.

    18. Doctor. Cure yourself first.

      Yawn

    19. Nothing in human beings is "physics". Life is anti-enthalpy.

  3. Well.

    Here an article -- https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/world/europe/ukraine-russia-kursk.html#commentsContainer

    Comments -- priceless.

    As well as covardly censuring out with closing comments, because they turned in unfortunate direction.

    Plague to BOTH of your houses -- and DEMNs, and REPS.

    And I think that is common attitude of people of the World, that still care to read it. That your political shit. In English.

  4. Well. History are on the move. Into Third World War.

    China declared INCREASE in help to RFia. As response to dRump's initiative.

    USA -- YOU LOST your golden chance to win. Without fight. And even without much involvement.

    6. Speaking of time, Lindy thinks that since the war has gone on for 2.5 years now that there's at least another 2.5 on the run. But hey, that's not to say that it can't last longer. btw - Don't eat the cheesecake!

    7. Something wrong with your calculations... 11th year of a war, since Crimea.

      11 years of USA negligence of its duty. Which leads to inevitable -- now that is problem for whole World.

      Delete
    8. Think of it this way... once the war officially ends, Russia can have fun firing live shells into Ukrainian territory killing civilians for another 7 years as recompense for 2014-2021.

      Delete
    9. You mean territory of USA?

      Quite could be, that after ww3 that would sole possible use for whole continent.(((

  9. //you find the identical notions with regard to the West. All of these. You think the Chinese emperor sat around saying, "Wow, I really wish we were more like the British." You think Indians sat around saying, I mean Indian intellectuals now say it, "I wish I was white. I wish I was British." But you think they sat around back then saying? Every civilization, every ruling class in these civilizations thought it was the cat's whiskers, that it was the the apex of human achievement.

    1. Politics has become Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations". It used to be one of "class struggle". Maybe one day Ukrainian and Russian peasants will join causes against Putin and the oligarch's.... NAAAAAAH!
