Our cable provider (Spectrum)runs commercials for podcasts while streaming videos, and for a month or two earlier this year these two angels were at the top of the playlist.
But a while back, their commercials stopped dead. The things were edited to make them sound like - at worst - a couple of wine box moms, but there was something about even the brief glimpse you got of their antics that didn't sit right.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is italics.
[Regnum] The Logic of "Vitality": Russia exists in a "gray zone" between war and peace. The military-political strategy of the West (particularly Europe) defines Russia as a systemic threat and adversary, and Ukraine as a long-term anti-Russian instrument integrated into the architecture of the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO).
Inflicting strategic defeat on Russia remains an unwavering priority of US and NATO doctrines. Expecting a change in this policy is naive. Under these circumstances, ensuring the stability of the "state-society" system and the survivability of its core—the Russian Federation's critical infrastructure—is a key factor in preserving Russia's sovereign civilization.
Ensuring this stability requires a revision of the basic principles of territorial and economic development, as well as a fundamental change in approaches to the design and operation of national infrastructure. The critical infrastructure of the "state-society" system is a socio-technical complex of material objects, networked information and communication systems, and social institutions.
The survivability of this system is determined by its ability to maintain key functionality in the face of destructive influences. At the operational-tactical level, the stability and survivability of the "state-society" system are largely determined by the current military-political agenda, part of which has become systemic attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles on infrastructure facilities within the Russian Federation, the vulnerability of which creates serious risks. The vulnerability of these facilities lies in the systemic contradiction between the commercial logic of their development, which dominated in "peacetime," with its emphasis on consolidation and concentration, and today's geopolitical reality of "wartime." (c) Andrey Ilnitsky.
Exactly. Peacetime logic no longer applies in the modern world. The logic of "survivability" takes precedence.
In fact, the USSR operated within precisely this logic for many decades in a hostile environment, which allowed it to win World War II, become a superpower, and successfully wage the Cold War for a long time.
Russia still must abandon a number of outdated approaches from the bygone peacetime and adapt to new, more dangerous times, which pose both various challenges and opportunities.
Andrey Ilnitsky is a Russian who is sanctioned by the US and by NATO
[Hot Air] California Post editor Joe Pollak just sent out a tweet: "It's appalling that the victory of one party or another means that a private citizen and his businesses, none of which have been accused of breaking the law, would suddenly be targeted by the government. That's pure Third World and should outrage everyone."
I like Joel. I've even done his radio show. But I was discouraged by his childlike innocence. For almost 10 years now I have been telling anyone who would listen that the modern America left, including the Democrat Party, is a criminal Stasi that doesn’t care about the law, due process, or human decency. They won’t just oppo research you, they will honey trap you, lie about you, manufacture fake crimes and bogus witnesses to destroy you.
The same people who’ve told me to shut up already talking about Brett Kavanaugh and the 2018 nightmare I was dragged into are some of the exact same people that are outraged that the Democrats are about to act in a lawless, criminal way. I haven’t hammered the Kavanaugh thing for almost a decade to flaunt my ego. I did it to warn people that if given power the left would do it all over again. Again, this is not hardball politics or oppo games. It’s extortion, it’s witness tampering, it’s honey traps and death threats.
It's criminal. And they're about to launch again. Have Trump officials already been honey-trapped?
Talking to Politico two years ago, Mike Davis, the former Senate GOP aide and current Trump supporter, spelled it out. We are entering, as Politico put it, "a post-Kavanaugh standard." No more accusing someone of a crime — and declaring them guilty — without evidence or proof. "In order to disqualify a qualified cabinet nominee, you have to come forward," Davis told Politico."The burden is on the accuser to come forward with clear and convincing evidence that they’re not fit for the current job based upon their prior misconduct. It has to be testimony and not innuendo. It has to be testimony, not anonymous sources." Added Davis, "You make an allegation, and then Kavanaugh is guilty until he proves his innocence? I said, ’[Forget] that. We’re gonna do the American presumption of innocence.’"
