Reminiscence of the Future... : A Short Note On TU-22M3s In Khmeimim. (smoothiex12.blogspot.com)

A Short Note On TU-22M3s In Khmeimim.

I wrote on this issue so much that there is no necessity to elaborate in depth on that. Three TU-22M3s bombers arriving to upgraded Khmeimim base in Syria, like this (courtesy of Russia's MoD):


Is a message, because today these bombers are being reconfigured into the full-blown anti-ship role and carry three Kh (X)-32 M=4.6 missiles and will carry (if not already) on their TU-22M3M version all nomenclature of modern anti-shipping missiles, including 3 Kinzhals and who knows how many Zircons. This means only one thing--patrols in the Mediterranean and "closing" all of this sea in case of NATO doing a stupid thing. Simple as that. Again, as Al Capone used to say: "one can get much further with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." Why fix something that works? Exactly.

ADM Zumwalt will close:

What happens, God forbid, with escalation if the United States loses one of its CBGs during conflict, what will be the psychological impact of such a massive loss?

CBG = carrier battle group

Zumwalt Knew – Western Rifle Shooters Association

A test on this material is all but inevitable.

Ukrainian Diplomat Collapses, Dies Suddenly In Thailand (rferl.org)

Ukrainian Diplomat Collapses, Dies Suddenly In Thailand
May 30, 2021 09:16 GMT UPDATED May 30, 2021 11:32 GMT
KYIV -- The Foreign Ministry in Kyiv has confirmed that a Ukrainian diplomat has died suddenly while on holiday with his family at a resort island off Thailand's southern coast.

Authorities in Kyiv did not immediately announce the cause of death for Andriy Beshta, 45, who had served as Ukraine's ambassador to Thailand from November 2015 until he was relieved of the post in April.

Police in Thailand quoted Beshta's teenage son, Ostap Beshta, as saying that his father had been feeling fine before he went to sleep on May 29 at about 11 p.m. local time in their shared hotel room on the island of Koh Lipe.

Police said the diplomat's son told investigators that his father woke up vomiting at about 4:30 a.m. and then fell unconscious.

"Preliminary investigations showed no signs of him being attacked, no signs of a raid, or violence," a statement attributed to National Police deputy spokesman Kissana Phathanacharoen said.

Thai authorities were questioning other witnesses in the case.

Ekkarat Leesen, the governor of Thailand's southern Satun Province, said Beshta's body was taken to a police hospital for an autopsy.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy tweeted on May 30 that Beshta "was a friendly man and a highly professional diplomat."

Zelenskiy also said he had spoken by telephone to Beshta's four surviving family members in Thailand -- who, according to the Ukrainian embassy's website, include his wife, a daughter, and two sons.

Since 2017, Beshta had also served part-time as Ukraine's ambassador to Laos and Myanmar, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.

(snipped)
Satun governor Ekkarat Leesen said a preliminary autopsy at Satun Hospital on the mainland “concluded he died from a heart attack".

A swab test for coronavirus at the hospital was negative. "We ruled out 100% that he died of Covid," Mr Ekkarat said.

The body was taken out of the hospital at 2.50pm and was being transported by land to Bangkok for a detailed autopsy at Police General Hospital.

I wonder when Ukraine will figure out NATO will NEVER let them join. Ukraine has been baiting the Putin grizzly bear on the assumption the spineless, gutless, feckless NATO and EU would let them join and be protected.:jstr:

Oops, Daniel. Nobody is going to cover any part of ukraines various body parts.
Biden and obama might huff and puff some but not EU or NATO.

The Biden Admin is about to send a whole lot of money to the Ukraine in order bribe them into covering up the Biden Crimes there.

Sounds like it's an affirmation of the 2008 decision, and that there are still boxes to tick. Still, the chit-soup stirrin' stick is out and about.

..to be utterly banal, "it warrants watching" lol.

It would seem that the West underestimates and misunderstands Russia once again. Given the window for conflict given by JR Nyquist (which opens tomorrow June 15), this is very concerning.

It would be better if our government centers were destroyed by outsiders right now...we have ZERO credibility and as soon as the immature Woke crowd in Congress and Kamala is in charge I cant see any of our adversaries or "Allies" wanting any part of what this nation is heading for.

In all things political, military and economic a steady hand is needed.

Biden yet again shows off his waffling, indecisive and total weakness by reversing NATO membership for the Ukraine and then also reversing the $150 million arms package for the Ukraine.
Biden reversed the pipeline, sends warships into, or not into the Black Sea, apparently on whims.

War is imminent. Biden is senile. His Obama and hellary handlers are also not being taken seriously.

Nyquist's window for global war was from 6-15 to 12-31. July 4th to Labor Day is also credible.
