🇷🇺💬 🇺🇸Full statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry in connection with the US elections
🔴 @DDGeopolitics
"Trump's victory in the US presidential elections who is returning to the White House after a four-year break, certainly reflects the dissatisfaction of Americans with both the results of the administration of J. Biden and the election program of the Democratic Party, proposed by its hastily nominated candidate in the person of Vice President K. Harris instead of the current head of state.
Despite the powerful propaganda campaign unleashed against Donald Trump by the Democrats using administrative resources with the support of the liberal media, the Republican candidate, having the experience of his first presidency behind him, placed his bets on the issues of the economy and illegal migration that concern voters, in opposition to the globalist course of the White House.
Under these conditions, even the chronic flaws of American “democracy” with its archaism and failure to meet modern standards of direct, honest, and transparent elections did not help the ruling group prevent K. Harris’s defeat.
This, however, does not cancel out the deep civil division in the US, where the electorate is divided almost equally. In fact, we are talking about the confrontation of Democratic and Republican states, as well as supporters of "progressive" and traditional values. It can be expected that the return of D. Trump will spur increased internal tension and the bitterness of the opposing camps.
❗️ We have no illusions about the elected American President, who is well-known in Russia, and the new composition of Congress, where the Republicans, according to preliminary data, are gaining the upper hand. The ruling political elite in the United States, regardless of party affiliation, adheres to anti-Russian attitudes and a line on "containing Moscow". This line is not subject to fluctuations in the domestic political barometer in the United States, whether it is about "America first" as interpreted by D. Trump and his supporters or about a "rules-based world order", which the Democrats are "fixated" on.
🇷🇺🇺🇸 Russia will work with the new Administration when it “settles” in the White House, firmly defending Russian national interests and focusing on achieving all the goals of the special military operation.
Our conditions are unchanged and are well known in Washington."

📚 I've read this in the book "Unusual Houses of Moscow" by Yulia Egorova:
During the Soviet era, the Theatre of the Russian Army was called the Red Army Theatre, whose symbol was the five-pointed star. However, there is also a legend that Marshal Kliment Voroshilov outlined his ashtray with a pencil and ordered the building to be constructed in that shape. In 1934, the competition for the best project was won by architects Karo Alabyan and Vasily Simbirtsov. The theatre is simply enormous, and even the Small Hall is so large that it accommodates as many as 500 spectators. The Large Hall is designed for 1,520 spectators, and any military equipment, including tanks, can easily drive onto the stage. A special tank entrance has been built at the back of the theatre for this purpose. The theatre is located on Suvorov Square.

"Every bit of media consumed is safe from close scrutiny because it’s enjoyed “ironically.” It’s fandom as an accessory to identity, and it speaks to an attitude of selective seriousness: Everything is worth a laugh, and almost nothing deserves a deep dive. This pose jibes with what author J.D. Cowan has called “irony poisoning.” Instead of a playful gesture; it’s a lifestyle choice affected to mask an aching void where meaning used to be."

According to investigators, the 72-year-old mechanical scientist developed designs, in particular, for upgrading engines and catapult systems, disguising them as scientific work in the field of UAVs.
He transmitted the drawings over the Internet through his friend, the CEO of one of the Russian machine-building plants that produces units for drones.

This is the video of the destruction of the Challenger that resulted in its turret "flying".
The system used for the destruction of the Anglo tank was a Lancet.
So on the one hand we have decades of the myth of an indestructible tank (basically because it was never used in real battles). On the other hand we have a drone with a small explosive charge and a frankly low penetration capability as we have already discussed on other occasions.
The Lancet flies at a steep angle, turret penetration occurs, the sacrosanct survival systems of NATO tank crews fail.
The ammunition is initiated and the turret blows up.
All great when you consider that Russia produces several times the number of tanks in a month compared to the number of Challengers the UK has in total with 0 new tanks being produced in decades.

"We will not go gently . . ."
This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.
But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.
And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.
