1. Europe Is Getting Back...

... to its roots.

Ukraine’s 3rd Assault Brigade, which includes fighters from the notorious neo-Nazi Azov Regiment, has announced plans to embark on a tour of EU countries. In two separate posts on Facebook last week, the unit said its service members would travel to nine cities in Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania in late July and early August. Participants at the events will be able to speak with Ukrainian soldiers to learn “the truth about serving in the brigade” and hear stories from the front lines, one of the posts said. One of the tour’s goals is to encourage more people to take part in the fight against Russia, either directly or indirectly, the other post stated. Attendance at the events costs around €20 ($22) depending on the location. The 3rd Assault Brigade was officially formed in early 2023. It includes many members of the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment, widely suspected of multiple war crimes, which has been fighting in Donbass since 2014, when hostilities erupted in the region following a Western-backed coup in Kiev.

The only thing which surprises me is why France is not on their itinerary. It would be interesting to see how fast Paris will fall. By the same token, they should visit London and Sandhurst--you know, to explain to the British Army what real war is. I am sure Europeans will be delighted. Did USMA at West Point submit the request? They should... Ah, wait Oh, Canada!

Good destination, let me tell ya...

2. Bean Counting... may help.

In related news, "destroyed" (in imagination of NATO "experts") SSK Rostov-on-Don completed most of the repairs, is afloat and will join the fleet soon. Ouch...

3. Nima And I...

... spoke yesterday. I stressed again that nothing much will change in the US foreign policy and all US "strategies" are a kindergarten level ruses based on a complete detachment from reality. Even with Trump. I'll talk about it in my video today. The only positive in a possible Trump Admin is that it will start bean counting, which indicates a certain degree of rationality. Russian-American relations are ruined for good, Russia doesn't trust the US but also knows that behind the bluster the US is in no position to demand anything.

People Already Posted It...

CNN says: "Jack Black’s comedy rock band, Tenacious D, has canceled its remaining tour dates after band member Kyle Gass sparked a backlash with an apparent joke about Saturday’s assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump. The video is causing controversy online. Both Jack Black and Kyle Gass have apologized for the comment..."

... but here is a direct report about Tenacious D:

The musical comedy duo are currently on tour Down Under, paying a visit to Australia’s ICC Sydney Theatre on Saturday and Sunday. During the pair’s second show, the School Of Rock presented Kyle with a birthday cake, imploring him to “make a wish”, to which he responded: “Don’t miss Trump next time. ”After the clip was posted online, it was met with a backlash from some critics with Australian senator Ralph Babet going as far as calling for the group’s immediate deportation. While the duo initially postponed their follow-up show, which had been scheduled to take place in Newcastle, Australia on Tuesday evening, Jack has since shared an Instagram post confirming that the remaining tour dates have now been pulled. “I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday,” the Shallow Hal actor said on Tuesday afternoon. “I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form. “After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”

I have news--America's so-called creative class due to it being degenerate has no mental tools for "reflection". This is a bunch of spoiled ass-holes brainwashed with propaganda and having no tools to even comprehend what agenda they push and what they stand for. Where is the Secret Service? Where is the FBI? I don't like Trump, I abhor Biden and his cabal of war criminals but I don't call on anybody to even try on the life, however pathetic and degenerate, of present POTUS, nor the former ones. This also shows you to what degree the system has become dysfunctional when you have pathetic entertainers who wouldn't know shit from shinola calling the shots. They [simply] hate and all their "excuses" are worthless.

4. On A More Pleasant Note...

... good retro-future (stressing--good) is hard to come by. But this is fabulous.

Synthsaga SciFi: 20th century retro TrainPunk - Arrivals & Departures - ,parallel dimension

Jul 8, 2024

(Scifi content, AI used for animation generation) In the 1950s of the parallel world, in which some events took place and others did not, railroads developed around the world in a similar way, but with notable peculiarities. Each country used different technologies according to criteria related to their raw materials and trading /geostrategical partners. All this resulted in a diverse ecosystem of rail-based modes of transportation, which evolved from new redesigns of old diesel engines, to hybrid hydrogen traction, to magnetic cruisers with their train axles to match the tracks. In this clip we can see different arrivals and departures of various engines that populated that possible parallel past. This video has been inspired by users such as @Wardfiction5693 , @cj18333 , @user-dh2qf5kd8c "The Old Man" and @brookeking8559. Thank you so much for your comments!

Typhoon motorcycles, parallel dimension

Scifi Content, AI generated images. In this episode, former pilot Jason Jesse explains the origins of the famous "Typhoon" class motorcycles. They began to be seen in the late 1940s, featuring impressive aerodynamic designs with bizarre hybrid propulsion configurations (diesel, gas, magnetic concentrators, levitation devices), and gave rise to numerous popular races where each neighborhood presented its best advances. They were based on the naval aesthetics and propulsion aircraft famous at the time, usually emulating their colors and shapes.
