You know about the Great Wall of China, right? But have you ever heard of the Great Western Wall?
That is the immense wall which was built around the minds of the people of the West for the past 1000 or so years. I will try to describe it using a few salient examples, but what I want to clearly state here is that these examples are only some I chose, but in reality, there are millions of them and they constitute a kind of “mental force field” which has (almost) no holes in it. Until now. But let’s first start with a few examples of what that wall looks like and how those enclosed by it think:
- Say what you wish, or don’t say it, but everybody knows and understands that the so-called Western civilization (which in this narrative was not born from the Middle-Ages, but from Antiquity) is superior to all others. Oh sure, we will pay lip service to the liberal ideas of Rousseau or the Woke insanity, but deep inside, we are the best, we will eventually prevail, and nobody can match, nevermind, beat us.
- Russians are racially and culturally inferior. Oh sure, they are mostly white, but they act like Mongols (something quite terrible in the average western mind which knows *nothing* about the Mongol Empire, this is even true on the UK Ministerial level!!!). They are either soaking their brains with vodka, or they are planning devious and bloody attacks on the irenic and noble people of the West. The term I suggest for them would be Russians are “Snow Niggers“.
- The Snow Niggers control way too much land and resources. We need to bring them true democracy.
- Russians have never known democracy, so they don’t even have the concept of “freedom”: true, we don’t really understand the distinction they make between “svoboda” and “volia” anymore than we understand the distinction between “pravda” and “istina” – but who cares, they don’t think like we do, therefore their concepts are irrelevant.
- Russians cannot be trusted. Ever. Ask any of the people who neighbor Russia and they will tell you how horrible it was to live under Russian rule. The fact that Russians (unlike the West) never committed genocide and that there are still 193 ethnic groups and over 100 languages in Russia herself is irrelevant. The fact that not a single successor republic to the USSR became stable and viable – except Russia, that is – also irrelevant. All that Russians do is murder, rape, pillage and persecute everybody else, especially “gays”!
- Russians have always used stupid tactics, they always throw a huge amount of poorly trained soldiers but animalistically stubborn/courageous at any enemy. During WWII, the German military was vastly superior to the Soviet one and the German generals eons ahead of the rather dull Soviet ones, especially in tactics and operational warfare. Germany only lost WWII thanks to the US and UK and their superb military academies. Any Soviet victory is explained by “Stalin’s terror”, of course. Then these brutes went on a raping spree and created a giant Gulag while US forces only delivered chocolate and cool music to the poor Europeans, including the Germans. Then the US generously rebuilt western Europe. End of story.
- We have the best military in the world, with the best equipment and training. The fact that we spend more on defense than the entire planet is the proof of that. We also have the best intelligence community in the world, the fact that we have 17 “intelligence” agencies while others typically do with just a few (2-4 is typical) just further proves our infinite superiority (by some estimates, the total “peace budget” of the USA, combining military, intelligence and contractors is over a TRILLION per year!).
- The entire world envies us – that is why we are the #1 destination for immigrants from all over the world. Even the fact that we have by far the biggest penitentiary network on the planet, and one of the most barbarically brutal ones at that, does not deter these immigrants. Clearly, the world loves us!
Trust me, I could go on for pages and pages. I lived my entire life in the West, I was born in the middle of Europe (in Switzerland) and I lived about half of my life in Europe and half in the USA. I am fluent in 5 western languages and understand quite a few more others (related ones, of course). I have two US graduate degrees. I know the West. Most westerners who met me initially did not know of my origins, so they treated me like “one of them” until I mentioned my Russian roots, at which point their attitude immediately changed: “careful, he is one of them” was written all over their faces.
And, OF COURSE, there were (plenty) of exceptions to what I describe above. But these exceptions were never numerous or influential enough to make a difference: Western countries always elect rabid russophobes: they all equally hate and fear Russia, they just express it in different manners. So those westerners who do not live behind the Great Western Wall have made no difference, especially no difference to us, the Asiatic Snow Niggers.
Again, all this has been going on for close to a thousand years, but something has changed recently and stuff like this began to happen:
And by “this” I don’t mean an F-35 missing its landing on a carrier and splashing into the water. No, that F-35 is a perfect metaphor for the entire western civilization.
- Official version: the F-35 is the most amazing military aircraft ever designed
- True version: the F-35 is the most overpriced piece of semi-airborne shit in world history
Notice, corruption plays THE key role here.
Say what you want, but a country which designed and produced the F-16, the F-5, the A-10 or the breathtakingly beautiful Boeing 747 can produce superb aircraft. And while all the US ‘stealth’ aircraft are overpriced and over-hyped, the F-35 is truly a masterpiece of corruption. There is nothing the many extremely talented US scientists and engineers could do to beat the most corrupt people on the planet: the US ruling elites. And, for the latter, the F-35 is a total, absolute, success. I would even call it a triumph.
A personal recollection now: while a student in the USA, I had military force planning classes, taught by a VERY sharp USAF Colonel (who also worked for the Northrop YF-23 program). His classes were a masterpiece each time. One day, we did something funny. We made a graph with, on one hand, the average cost of each new US fighter aircraft and, on the other, the money allocated for their acquisition. Then we projected both curves and the result was quite hilarious, but also unforgettable: we saw that there would come a time when the entire US military budget would be just enough to produce only ONE, but very super dooper bestest of the bestest in the history of the galaxy fighter! One! Sadly, I do not remember what date we came up with, but I would argue that the F-35 is the real-world illustration of what our (tongue in cheek) graphic showed (BTW – the Lockheed YF-22 was inferior in design to the Northrop YF-23, the choice for the Lockheed candidate was made solely on political grounds: not to give it all the kickbacks to Northrop basically).
The year 1990 was the year when the YF-22/YF-23 made their first flight. That same year, the Snow Niggers flew a modified version of the Soviet Su-27, called the SU-34, for the first time. In my strictly personal opinion, the Su-34 is the single most formidable all-weather supersonic medium-range fighter-bomber/strike aircraft ever produced in Russia or elsewhere. The fact that this design (originally based on a Soviet-era Su-27 interceptor) not only survived the horrific 90s when Russia was “democratic”, but has now fully matured to the absolutely amazing Su-34M version, shows how truly superb Soviet designers and engineers were even in the years of “Commie stagnation” under Brezhnev & Co. This is what this true masterpiece looks like:
Original version of the Su-34
You can read about its capabilities here or, better, watch this video. Check out its actual characteristics, and it will blow your mind!
No, it ain’t “stealth”, but its formidable EW, avionics, missiles and radar negate the need for any F-22 like RCS. And it sure is a big aircraft (think range and payload here). But its capabilities are absolutely formidable, no other aircraft comes even close, not even current 5th generation ones, especially to the (much improved) current Su-34M version (which is still very much a 4th generation aircraft, but which does not need the full 5th generation capabilities to execute its missions, that is where the 4++ generation Su-30M2 and Su-35S would be used, or, if needed, the 5th generation Su-57.
I do not intend this post to be a comparison of the YF-22/YF-23/F-35 with the Su-34 or any other aircraft.
But I will ask a rhetorical question: why is it that the USA, the sole world superpower (especially after 1991 and the fall of the USSR) and world leader in everything produced such a piece of shit (aka “flying brick”) as the F-35, while the vodka soaked Asiatic Snow Niggers, while undergoing a truly apocalyptic phase like the 90s (TWO civil wars in Chechnia, one in Moscow in 93) produced a masterpiece like the Su-34?
And here we see the formidable power of The Great Western Wall! That rhetorical question will be treated in any combination of the following ways:
- Dismissed as “Putin propaganda”
- Dismissed as factually incorrect (the correct version being: ours is SO MUCH better)
- Simply ignored, blocked from anybody’s awareness
- Explained by “the Russians steal all our secrets” whereas we invent real things (since the F-35 is actually largely based on the (much better!) Russian Yak-141, this is an especially funny argument to make).
- “Specialists” will declare that the Su-34 is based on primitive and old technologies while the F-35 is the bleeding edge of aeronautics (which is false, but if it was true, these idiots are too stupid to realize what this statement implies about the intelligence and experience of actual warfare of each party!)
- The same pseudo-experts will also fail to realize (or, at least, admit) that while the US MIC produced that abomination which the F-35 is, the Russians have just produced a similar aircraft, the Su-75, which has none of the flaws of the F-35, has broadly similar capabilities and for a small fraction of the F-35 criminally obscene price tag.
Western kids can peacefully sleep at night knowing that they are still part of the Master Race and that they are defended by Captain Murica style hyper-warriors with hyper-gadgets who can, and will, kick any Snow Niggers’ ass if needed! Yeah!
Sweet dreams :-)
***
But, seriously, why did I post all this stuff about US vs Soviet/Russian aircraft?
Just to illustrate the huge, immense, breathtaking difference between what I call Zone A and Zone B, the Great Western Wall being the monumental propagandist masterpiece which, at least so far, has kept the two Zones apart (the Zones themselves were originally a geographical category, but this is now changing, so let’s think of them as also a mental category).
(Truism alert!!) We live in the age of the Internet, the ubiquitous smartphones (with excellent cameras!), the social media and too many ways to connect for any wall to stand, including the Great Western Wall! Reality is now slowly seeping under, over, and even through this mental Great Wall and that has two main effects:
- It puts the western ruling classes into a total, abject, panic mode
- It stirs up doubts about the veracity of the Western propaganda machine in the heads of the western people (which only doubles the panic felt by the western ruling classes).
What recently happened in Kabul is just about the perfect illustration of how the Western Great Wall is collapsing before our eyes.
***
What about Putin and his ultimatum in all this?
In truth, the Russian ultimatum’s main goal was never to get the western Master Race to agree to negotiate with the drunken Snow Niggers, it was to bring down a major segment of the Western Great Wall: the West’s arrogant sense of axiomatic military superiority and narcissistic sense of impunity. For decades we were fed a diet about how totally incredible the US and even NATO militaries were (forget about Iraq or Afghanistan!) and how the Russian bear was really only a paper tiger. Just like the F-35 is the “bestest of the bestest” and the Su-34 “primitive” (we could also build it, we just don’t wanna).
Then why are the Snow Niggers not terrified of our “sanctions from hell” or “bestest militaries in the world”??
Why are our beloved (or maybe not so beloved) leaders so freaked out and clueless about what to do?
Could it be that reality is gradually achieving what scientists call “first contact” with the Western rulers and the serfs they rule over?
I will conclude with a question: what will it take to totally bring down that Western Great Wall?
The Su-34 sure did not do it.
How about the Su-34 as just one example, a tip of a huge iceberg if you wish, of what has happened in the entire Russian armed forces?
Nope. 99% of folks in the West still have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER that Russia can defeat both the US and NATO, even together, and that China is catching up at a phenomenal rate.
How about the total collapse of the western economies which have nowhere to “grow into” (by that they mean: “occupy a defenseless country and enslave them by trading valuable resources for worthless plastic beads”)?
Nope, not yet. Not while much of the world still purchase dollars.
Now about the total collapse of the EU’s energy hallucinations (aka Greta Thunberg)?
Nope! EU officials want to, I kid you not, sanction *Russia* by committing energetic and, therefore, economic suicide. In Russia, we call that “scaring a hedgehog with a naked butt“.
So what about this Russian saying “those who refuse to talk to Lavrov will have to talk to Shoigu“.
Will anybody pay attention and realize what is going on?
Maybe.
But I am afraid that the drunken Snow Niggers will have to bring down that damned Western Great Wall, brick by brick, dollar by dollar, and even bullet by bullet (missile by missile would be more accurate).
But, don’t worry. The drunken Snow Niggers won’t genocide you. They are too “primitive” and “Asiatic” for that.
But neither will they pay much attention to you or take you seriously until you finally wake up from your 1000 years of self-delusion based on murderous ideologies and violence.
Russia’s future is on her south (Caucasus, Central Asia, Middle-East, Indian Sub.) east (Far East Asia) and north (Arctic).
I have no idea where the future of the West is.
Do you?

“But let’s first start with a few examples of what that wall looks like and how those enclosed by it think:”
Framing within a longer evaluation horizon perceptially tends to obfuscate velocity which is one of the prime variables of change.
The opponents tend to base strategies upon interpretations of what was, interaction with projections of interpretations of “what is”, rendering “strategies” unfullfilled hopes, whilst some others base flexible strategies upon variables including trajectories and velocities.
Perhaps a more useful portal through which to enter ” Western ideological matters” would be the increasing incidences, scopes and velocities of mass psychogenic illnesses in the “West” which in part facilitates matters addressed/outlined in /panic-and-chaos-is-clearly-stetting-in-as-the-west-fears-peace-above-all-else/.
A useful case study is the “Havana Syndrome” and how this was deflected through the interactions of politics/”science”, but there are many others, some of which may have informed sending a notice of intent that was interpreted as an ultimatum.
A recent broadcast https://www.rt.com/shows/worlds-apart-oksana-boyko/547742-havana-syndrome-disease-enemy/ may ease entry through the portal. .
Europe is occupied, as much as Afghanistan was occupied. The difference is that in Afghanistan people remembered how life was before occupation. Europe has been occupied so long, nobody remembers anymore.
Let me outline two possible outcomes.
In the first scenario, the US remains dominant in Europe. I assume this will result in emigration of a few hundred thousand people per year to the closest country outside US influence, Russia. A smaller number may prefer China, but adjusting to Chinese culture is not given to all.
In the second scenario, the US withdraws from Europe, mainly because the cost of the occupying army is greater than the tribute obtained. When an army withdraws, those who received support from the occupier suffer. An example is feminists in Afghanistan, who enjoyed government support during the 20 years of US occupation, but are paying a heavy price now. Conversely, ideologies and parties disliked by the occupier suddenly become fashionable. For everybody except the young, adapting to this new situation is going to be difficult.
When will people understand? There is a hierarchy of races and ethnicities. This is in the minds of the Anglo-Saxons. It is a pecking order, as it were. I have a book “1000 Years of Annoying the French”, 2010. So the French are beneath the English. What about the Germans? Are they to be more or less respected than the French? This is a contentious issue. When I was a boy I was told that the problem with the French is that they are Roman-Catholic. Even today I don’t fully understand this view, except that it is an aberration. In America the slave-owning colonists, the Founding Fathers and authors of the Constitution, were irritated that the British had abolished slavery. Then the Irish came to America to be exploited building the Erie Canal, fed with potatoes and whiskey. They were Catholic and white, the second tier. After the Civil War the Ku Klux Klan was established to terrorize Afro-Americans if they had too high aspirations. More cheap labor came from Sicily, the third tier, since they did not speak English. Then the Galicians came, the fourth tier at that time since they were Jewish, and worked in the sweat shops, the garment factories. After WWII the black Americans were still in tier five, subjected to segregation, until the 1960s. Agricultural labor, Latin-Americans, almost never unionized must not be forgotten. I won’t even mention the British Empire and piracy and opium. Its leftovers influenced the US profoundly as Matthew Ehret of the Canadian Patriot Review has shown. There is a continuation and transmission of this mindset into UK and US foreign policy past and present. The concern for human rights of Eleanor Roosevelt after WWII was genuine, but today it is intended to deflect attention from the reality of imperial callousness in the quest for bananas, copper, oil and lithium. As if dropping bombs had anything to do with human dignity!
Brilliant. The headline gave me a belly laugh. Thanks. An editorial suggestion might be to explain where the “the western ruling classes . . . total, abject, panic mode” plays out. By that I mean in what venues does the ruling class attempt to work out and find resolution to their panic? I suppose it could be in the office and think tanks of the usual suspects, WEF, IMF, WB, BIS, NATO, etc, and I am sure there will be an increasing amount of infighting among oligarchs trying to push this or that operation, the Soros, Gates, Murdochs, etc, types, but where is this all coordinated into some sort of freaked out, panicked, hair-on-fire policy production? Shorter question: Who runs Brandon?
Snow niggers? So ugly – as if there’s not enough ugly in the world already.
But The Great Western Wall is accurate and very real. I see it every time discussion of Russia (and China) comes up. It, too, saddens me with its ignorance.
Thank you for causing the cracks in the “Great wall” for us to see through.
One request: Please write a comprehensive article regarding the complex relationship between Russia, India, China and the West. Specifically focused on India and its relation to the future of Eurasia.
India and USSR/Russia have longer and more trustworthy relationship than between Russia and China through the cold war. India and China have thousands of years of history between them including spread of Buddhism from India to China. There were also hot wars and long standing border dispute between India and China in recent decades.
Now India and Russia are as close as before. India and the West are closer now than before. Russia and China are the closest they have ever been.
Some Indian immigrants in U.S. are very powerful including being CEOs of large Tech companies who help maintaining “the wall”.
Leadership of Russia, China and India is mature. Modi is in an unenviable position of balance act between the powers. He was hated by the West and was denied Visa to U.S. before he became the Prime Minister. He is a seasoned Politician and Statesman with long memory.
I hope you will reflect some of these issues in a long article looking toward the future of the multipolar world we are living now.
Thank you!
UNSC is meeting tomorrow over The ukraine……anything useful USS is saying it is Russia’s last chance to stand down!!!!! Even more on UK tv visiting Ukraines front lines….increasing tensions…battlelines have been drawn….ever more details of threatened sanctions….and Truss visits soon hoping for better relations. The absurdity. I have no idea why they think of targeting ex Russian oligarchs in London UK to punish Putin as surely they escaped from Russia to break their connection with him. Weird. So it must be part of the snow niggers syndrome.
apparently Ukraine lost 120b dollars recently as it was taken out of the country….investors too edgy for further investment. No wonder Z got hesitant down playing the hype. And Poland has got angst back from Ukraine by cos of only supplying humanitarian aid not armaments but Poland is also questioning Germany’s decisions for clarity.
so says twitter…….oh boy the confusion…..well that may be for the better.
good read!

Great Western Wall against Snow Negro
“Whatever you say, whatever you don’t say, but everyone knows and understands that the so-called Western civilization (which in this story was born not from the Middle Ages, but from Antiquity) is above all others …”
– The cradle of Western civilization is Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, … and Byzantium!
Great Greek colonization of the 8th-6th centuries. BC e.,. The Dorians and Ionians, following the well-trodden paths behind the merchants – navigators Phoenicians (the fathers of writing, Latin, Greek, Arabic, … were formed on the basis of the Phoenician letter, …) colonized the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, then the Black Sea. Greece then consisted of city-states (policies) that controlled their territories and had a variety of methods of government: tyranny, oligarchy (including timocracy), and the so-called. democracy.
Great Hellenistic colonization
Philip II of Macedon united most of Greece under his rule, and his son Alexander of Macedon colonized the Persian Empire, which included lands from Egypt to Central Asia and from the Caucasus to Arabia. However, “break not build” and his empire soon fell apart, and the Middle East, Egypt and Greece regained relative independence.
In 146, Rome colonized Carthage (Libya) – the Great Merchant Maritime Carthaginian Empire, a superpower. Carthaginian sailors entered the Atlantic Ocean and traded along the western coast of Africa and the northern coast of Europe. Hanno reached the Gulf of Guinea, and Himilcon reached the British Isles. Rome, as usual, annexed all technology and knowledge, and then destroyed the memory of Carthage.
Then Rome colonized a weakened Greece… and the Greek heritage played an important role for the entire Roman Empire, giving rise to Roman philosophy, literature and rhetoric, and also greatly enriching the scientific knowledge of the Romans.
The first Roman Empire of Octavian Augustus began to crumble in the 5th century and finally collapsed after 476. And the western part of the empire, Gaul, Iberia and the Maghreb, were subjected to a “symmetrical” response – an invasion of the territories of the Germans and nomads of the Eurasian steppe occupied by Rome.
Emperor Justinian managed to recapture the territory of modern Italy together with Rome, part of Spain and the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea from the “barbarians”.
Colonization of the Great Byzantine Empire (Power of the Romans, Roman Empire, Romania, Byzantine Empire), a state in the Mediterranean in 4 – ser. 15th century with its capital in Byzantium (Constantinople).
The Byzantine Empire is one of the largest civilizations in world history, which played the greatest historical role as a link between ancient culture and the Christian world, between East and West, becoming the main center for the spread of Orthodoxy.
The East regained strength in the person of the Second Rome – the Byzantine Empire (Christianity as the state religion, the rejection of Latin, the transition from counting years by consuls to the era from the creation of the world, wearing a beard as a sign of the transition to the Eastern version of the representation of power).
In 1054, the Great Church Schism of the united Christian Church took place.
During the IV crusade (1202-1204), Western European crusaders captured and plundered the Second Rome – Constantinople, as a result of which the territory of the empire broke up into several states that were under the control of the Greeks and Western mercenaries – the knights of the earthly God, the Catholic Pope.
And the Western stratagem “Whoever is not a Christian (Catholic) is not a person (a subhuman without a soul)” became the dominant over the next centuries.
In 1452, Pope Nicholas V in the Vatican “blessed” the European slave trade with another special bull…
And five centuries later, the Catholic God on earth blessed Adolf Hitler for the next Crusade against heretics.
“Russians are racially and culturally inferior … “Russians are snow blacks.”
– RUSSIAN
The White Walkers are a legendary humanoid/anthropomorphic race that lives in the far north of Westeros [Eurasia]. The origin of the White Walkers is not revealed in the novels. )))
This is because we are Orthodox Christians and do not betray God’s commandments, but keep them. For the Inquisitor, we are heretics who need to be burned, or, like blacks and Indians, nonhumans / subhumans without a soul, servants of the devil.
“Snow blacks control too much land and resources. We have to bring real democracy to them.”
– Democracy, in the refined form in which the West presents it to idiots, has never existed, does not exist and will not exist in the near future. Especially in such big states-powers as the USA, the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China. Western democracy is an instrument of globalization, a kind of de-sovereignizer. )))
“Russians have never known democracy, so they don’t even have the concept of “freedom””
– Veche is an ancient and medieval form of elections and direct democracy in Russia.
Novgorod veche (“council”) – a democratic form of government military administration (legislature) in the Novgorod Republic of Ancient Russia. … The Novgorod veche lasted more than six centuries, longer than veche in other Russian lands – until 1478.
“Russians cannot be trusted.”
– The Soviet defector to the United States, mathematician V. Lefebvre, author of the work “Reflexive Processes and Control,” proved to Reagan’s advisers that it was impossible to negotiate with the Russians. Impossible… about nothing, under any circumstances and never.
Lefebvre mathematically contrasted two ethical systems: Soviet/Russian and American/Western. The system of Protestant ethics and Orthodox asceticism.
Conclusion: the Russians have sacrificial compromises, you (the Anglo-Saxons) have a sacrificial struggle (the resolution of the situation of “war of all against all” by sacrificing someone).
Russians have sacred Честь, Совесть, Справедливость, Долг (spiritual, not material), Добро (spiritual, not material), Достоинство и Благородство (of the soul) … и Нравственность.
[Compare: Honor, Conscience, Justice, Duty, Good, Dignity and Nobility and Morality.]
The Anglo-Saxons have profit, profit (and nothing is sacred))).
These systems are antagonists, they cannot agree.
We can’t even agree on terms, let alone concepts. And if we agree, then the Anglo-Saxons change them or come up with new ones.

Great Western Wall against Snow Negro
…
“The Russians have always used stupid tactics, they have always thrown a huge number of poorly trained soldiers, but outrageously stubborn / courageous at any enemy. During the Second World War, the German armed forces were vastly superior to the Soviet ones, and the German generals were centuries ahead of the rather boring Soviet ones, especially in tactics and operational warfare…”
The Russians destroyed 85% of the strike power of the Wehrmacht with the European allies of the Third Reich.
Integral estimates of the irretrievable losses of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht on the Soviet-German front
The ratio of losses of the Red Army – Wehrmacht
Basic (1.05 – 1.27):1
Boundary (0.84-1.05): 1
Military irretrievable losses of the Wehrmacht and the Red Army:
The Wehrmacht on the entire Eastern Front irretrievably lost 8,876,000 people,
together with the allies – 10,344,500 people (of which 4.3 million were prisoners);
irretrievable losses of the Red Army amounted to 11,441,000 people,
including allies – 11,520,200 people (of which 4.5 million prisoners).
Total: 10,344,500 European national fascists, against 11,441,000 Red Army soldiers – 1: 1.1.
The ratio of irretrievable military losses in Germany and the USSR is almost identical
For your information, the irretrievable losses of the Soviet troops storming Berlin were 4.0-5.2 times lower (!) than the irretrievable losses of the German troops!
THE ANGLO-SAXON METHOD OF NUMBERS Juggling
According to the rules of German (Angles and Saxons – ancient Germanic tribes) statistics, “missing” are not included in the number of irretrievable losses, in contrast to the Soviet-Russian methodology.
In addition, it must be borne in mind that the Wehrmacht ceased to keep a centralized record of losses from February 1945. And the spring of the 45th is the period of the highest losses of the German army.
Foreign legions of the SS
In addition, the losses of such formations as the Foreign Legions of the SS are not taken into account, subsequently some of them even grew in divisions. For example, the French SS legion later turned into the Charlemagne division. The Belgian legion “Wallonia”, which was part of the Wehrmacht, was later transferred to the SS and it became the assault brigade of the SS troops “Wallonia”, since 1944 the 28th SS Volunteer Grenadier Division.
Such German losses were not taken into account, since they did not belong to the Wehrmacht, but were part of the German SS troops. In the line of the ground forces, the losses of the SS-sheep were taken into account, but only the Germans themselves, and after all, volunteers from all over Western Europe, who were neither Germans nor German citizens, served in the foreign legions.
Hilfwillider
The losses of the so-called “Khivi” (Hilfwillider – voluntary assistants) are also not taken into account – persons from among Soviet prisoners of war and civilians from the occupied territories who agreed to help the German army. The maximum number of all categories of “Khivi” reached 800-900 thousand people. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that most of them were the so-called “Westerners”, i.e. people from those territories that were annexed to the USSR in 1939-1940. (western Ukraine and Belarus, the Baltic republics). The most proven ones were sent from the wagon officers to police battalions or to various military units like the ROA.
But in the Red Army, field kitchen workers, convoy soldiers, etc., were military personnel and losses among them were taken into account, like any other losses of the Red Army.
Volkssturm
Another nuance in the calculation of German losses is the Volkssturm. There is no reliable data on the losses of the German militia at all, since the Volkssturm was directly subordinate to the party structures of the NSDAP, and not to the command of the Wehrmacht. Even the commanders were not from the Wehrmacht, but were party functionaries.
The Soviet divisions of the people’s militia were subordinate to the command of the Red Army, or rather the command of the corresponding front. And the losses of the militias were reported to the military command, so the losses of the Soviet DNO are taken into account in the irretrievable losses of the USSR.
Women’s services of the 3rd Reich
Losses in the auxiliary women’s services were not taken into account, they were under the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine. There were also women’s units in the SS troops. The possibility of the participation of German women in the armed forces was also enshrined in the legislation of the Third Reich. The problem is here. But the girls and women who served in them were not officially military personnel, so their losses were not taken into account. Only on November 29, 1944, an order was issued according to which all women’s auxiliary units were united into a single auxiliary service. Only after that did German women receive official recognition as military personnel and their losses began to be taken into account.
Military construction units of Tothda
Another fad is the participation in the battles of the so-called military construction units of Tothda. Which the German command in difficult situations threw to the front. Until November 1942, their losses were not taken into account, since the Todd organization was not part of the German armed forces, but was again an auxiliary service under the Wehrmacht. Foreigners became soldiers only in the spring of 44 (there were many Czechs, Poles in this organization …).

“Helpers” for the railways
Even more telling is to compare that with the western front.
The ratio of loses in the East was 1:1.2 (axis:red army)
But in the West it was 1:1.4 (axis:allies)
(given from memory).
That is, the soviet soldier was actually a better warrior, less likely to die in battle, than the French, British or US soldiers.

Su-30SM GENERATION 4+ & THE ELECTRONIC WARFARE “MURMANSK-BN”.
How the Su-30 and Murmansk meet the US Air Force near the borders of Russia
08.12.2021
F-35 stealth fighters near Russian borders demonstrate their radar visibility and unreliability
NATO pilots suffer mental trauma from non-lethal encounters with electronic warfare systems and fighter jets of the Russian Aerospace Forces. Such “containment” of Moscow looks absurd.
American F-35 pilots complain about failures in on-board systems and loss of communications over the Baltic and Black Seas. Approximately 500 kilometers from the Russian borders, electronic warfare (EW) interference begins to suppress “flying computers”.
Presumably, the Murmansk-BN electronic warfare (EW) complex is operating, which is capable of burning out the electronics of US and NATO combat aircraft at a distance of up to 5,000 kilometers. Such electronic warfare systems can turn F-35 multirole fighter-bombers into a pile of metal, demoralize pilots, and this is not a figure of speech.
Recently, an Italian Air Force F-35 pilot needed the help of a psychologist after meeting in the sky with a Russian Su-30SM fighter jet and its electronic warfare equipment over the Baltic Sea. An Italian officer said that some of the F-35 systems were out of order:
“I was at the limit. Fear so fettered me that it even reached the tips of my toes. I understood that the Russian pilot was testing my capabilities and the capabilities of my aircraft … Tears flowed involuntarily.” After returning to the airbase, the Italian was diagnosed with a nervous breakdown. The officer was suspended from flying and sent home. This is how the NATO Air Force, in the Baltic Air Policing format, “contains” Russia near its borders.
Alliance pilots are unaccustomed to the air superiority of a potential enemy, hence the complaints and mental trauma on the patrol route. It should be noted that far more dangerous than the non-lethal maneuvers and electronic warfare systems of the Su-30SM fighter is the “invisible” air-to-air guided missile R-27EA with a range of up to 130 km.
The Russian 4+ generation Su-30SM multi-role fighter was designed to achieve real air superiority, capable of taking on board up to 8 tons of ammunition – to destroy air, surface, ground targets, day and night, in simple and difficult weather conditions, under the influence of active and passive enemy interference.
The Su-30SM is the most numerous type of modern fighter of the Russian Aerospace Forces and naval aviation, more than 130 aircraft are in service.
Destroyers of myths and concepts
The dangerous expansion of NATO to the east, the growth of foreign military infrastructure in the Baltic countries and the Black Sea region are forcing Moscow to act asymmetrically, to create the latest systems for the destruction and suppression of a potential enemy.
The armed forces of the Russian Federation are receiving hypersonic missiles and unusual means of neutralizing threats, which significantly exceed the technological strike capabilities of the troops and forces of the collective West.
If the Krasukha-4 electronic warfare system is capable of “suppressing” the airborne equipment of enemy air force aircraft and naval ships at a distance of up to 300 km, then the Murmansk-BN complex can disable enemy military equipment at a distance of thousands of kilometers.
In addition, “Murmansk-BN” is capable of automatically conducting electronic reconnaissance, detecting other people’s radio signals, that is, jamming communications between command posts and enemy aircraft (ships).
Such means make it possible to neutralize US and NATO strike weapons, because a combat aircraft (or ship) without communications, GPS navigation, operational information becomes just a target that is easy to destroy (if necessary).
In the future, electronic warfare means will play a major role in military conflicts of various levels of intensity. Probably, they will also cover outer space – reconnaissance and communications satellites.
Today, mobile systems “Murmansk-BN” serve in the Northern, Baltic and Black Sea fleets, reliably covering the borders of Russia – from the Kola Peninsula, from Kaliningrad and the Crimea.
A fantastic range of 5,000 km (in some cases up to 8,000 km) provides reliable, repeatedly duplicated control of a huge operational space – all of Europe and a significant part of the Atlantic Ocean, half of Africa, the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf, the countries of Central and South Asia – to India and China.
“Krasukha-4”, “Murmansk-BN” and others simply destroy the network-centric concepts of combat operations of the Pentagon and NATO.
There are no analogues of Russian “long-range” electronic warfare systems in the world.
It is no coincidence that at a national defense forum in the United States, US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said that one of the main trump cards of the Pentagon – military aviation – needs a serious reduction, decommissioning of aircraft, helicopters and UAVs that are not able to be useful in the confrontation with a high-tech enemy.
This position was supported by the US Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Brown, who recalled the losses of unmanned strategic reconnaissance aircraft shot down by Iranian air defense in 2019 and Syrian air defense in 2020 (two at once for about din day). We are talking about writing off more than 160 aircraft, including 20 fairly modern reconnaissance drones RQ-4 Global Hawk Block 30 at $140 million apiece. Modification RQ-4B Global Hawk Block 30 adopted by the US Air Force in 2011.
Despite active sales of the F-35 “stealth” to American allies, this aircraft has not yet been tested at the Pentagon, is not approved for mass production in the United States, and is quite vulnerable outside of commercials.
The technological backlog of the Pentagon is no longer a secret to anyone. Here, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, paradoxically, tends to resolve military-political problems exclusively through diplomacy – even in such hot spots as Ukraine and Taiwan. Obviously, Washington is seriously afraid of the outcome of probable and “dramatic for the US” high-tech wars.

Saker: “Trust me, I could go on for pages and pages. I lived my entire life in the West, I was born in the middle of Europe (in Switzerland) and I lived about half of my life in Europe and half in the USA. I am fluent in 5 western languages and understand quite a few more others (related ones, of course). I have two US graduate degrees. I know the West. Most westerners who met me initially did not know of my origins, so they treated me like “one of them” until I mentioned my Russian roots, at which point their attitude immediately changed: “careful, he is one of them” was written all over their faces”
Yes, I can to some extent relate to that. I am half Slovenian, half Montenegrin, living in Slovenia. Where Slovenians are typical westernized, Catholic Slavs, and Montenegrins Orthodox pro-Russians. In Slovenia, and elsewhere in the West, “Byzantine” Orthodox Easterners will always be regarded with certain (as a minimum) suspicion. This is actually baked into Western DNA. Although not spontaneously: much effort to stir up hate towards “savage Easterners/Southerners” had been made in centuries by Austo-Hungarians, Germans, Poles and other Western nation at “the border” between two strands of Christianity. Especially Austrians did that methodically to prevent common Slav political unity. How did their historians mangle Slav heritage, picture us as alternately helpless slaves or savage primitives….
Today I skimmed through some Russia-related articles on The New Yorker, Washington Post, The New York Times, TIMES and The Atlantic.
The narrative in all these newspapers is identical with the same recurrent theme. Almost in unison.
The comments section (in the TNYT) is just as appalling. Everything is in sync.
Any negative feelings towards Russia probably pertain to Atheist and Communist Stalin and his regime. He and his were butchers. Russia is now a Christian nation and devoted to the values of Jesus Christ. Russia repudiates Stalinist history. Now has Europe gone Atheist? Has the USA gone OT Fundamentalist?
How ridiculous to claim that nothing good ever came out of Florida! We have The Saker.
In response to Black Cloud,
Opinions vary on the demise of the US. As a US born native with a interest in history I suspect the downfall of the country came when DC was created around 1871. Franklin was asked by a lady after after deciding the form of government the country was to have and his answer was “A republic, if you can keep it.” Less than 100 years after this comment America was lost. But like a debtor the effects of debt can be stretched out to preserve an illusion of wealth, so freedom likewise will suffer a slow strangling death until the end comes; then those wonder how did it happen? Seeds were sown many years in advance. America was de-nuded with DC then its peoples destiny destroyed with the death of money in 1971. Just like the debtor however we have the illusion of wealth and power but it is a house of cards; with any test of integrity it will fall.

I think the Western stereotypes about Russia are a variation of Orientalism:

As for what the future holds, I think America will become uncompetitive with other countries. The parasitic medical system raises business costs. The failing infrastructure raises business costs. The education system is weak and so on.
