A Spade is a Spade

Hello everybody!

Today, I’ll instantly start with – yet another – disclaimer. Indeed, this entire feature is going to become a big disclaimer.

Please be aware that I am – in addition to all the possible and imaginable names and associations with dozens of intelligence services around the World - an unprofessional thug, no expert; a rude person that disqualified myself beyond belief, and what is going to follow is little else but rambling and unsubstantiated nonsense. There is plentiful evidence for this. To make sure, permit me to list just a few examples for the same.

You see, already decades ago, professional experts have concluded that there was no air war between Iran and Iraq and nothing worth attention or research, during the conflict between these two countries, 1980-1988. I was not only unprofessional but highly controversial when trying to study that air war, and then also writing, and publishing more than a dozen of related books… and it is my fault these remain largely unknown to so many professional experts, too…

Professional experts were not interested in Afghanistan as of the 1990s. Definitely not before 9/11. So much so, in October 2001, the US Navy was wasting laser-guided bombs with price-tags at US$ 500,000 to bomb ‘Taliban aircraft’ known to have been little else but heaps of worn-out wreckage already as of 1997… I was also highly unprofessional when following the developments there and then publishing detailed assessments about how is Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) establishing, organising and commanding the Taliban (including names of Pakistan Army’s officers in question, and designations of Taliban units), back in 1998-2000…

Professional experts were reporting one US & Allied victory in Afghanistan after the other, and praising genius generals for their new methods in counter-insurgency warfare, and that for 20 years. I was unprofessional when reporting that al-Qaeda was hiding in Pakistan (and that ‘already’ as of July 2002), or supported not only by the Pakistanis, but also by the Saudis and, later on, by Qataris – and, even more so, when concluding that one can’t win a war if not addressing the root causes for it…

Professional experts then explained me for unprofessional, and the fact that al-Qaeda was hiding in Pakistan for a CIA-Mossad conspiracy. Even more so, I was unprofessional again when (already back in around 2002-2003), warning the Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence is setting the country’s hair on fire by breeding jihadists…

Professional experts then instigated the invasion of Iraq, in 2003, while I was disgustingly unprofessional when trying to explain them that there is no evidence for Iraq possessing any kind of ‘WMDs’ (weapons of mass destruction)…

Professional experts were cheering a quick victory over Iraq, in March-April 2003. I was unprofessional when reporting that Saddamists went underground, began communicating with help of written messages distributed by couriers and a network leaning upon local offices of the Ba’ath Party, or cooperating with al-Qaeda, or that the IRGC has sent over 10,000 of own combatants to the country…

Professional experts have, correctly and rightfully, put cooperation (with me) on hold, when I – typically unprofessionally – filled a big report on the Algerian Air Force’s involvement in operations against extremist ‘Islamists’ in that country, in 2004…

Years later, so in around November 2011, and ever since, professional experts couldn’t find a single IRGC officer in all of Syria. I was unprofessional when reporting the Iranian/IRGC’s military intervention in Syria, ‘on behalf of Bashar al-Assad’ (actually: his brother Maher), starting in November 2011… …indeed, I was, and I remain, a pschyo, seeing IRGC everywhere in Syria…

Professional experts were full of praise for the Russian military intervention in Syria, starting in August 2015: I was unprofessional when, de-facto, calling it a botched-up PR-show, massacring civilians by dozens of thousands… …besides, it was Syrian terrorist civilians and militant hospitals, so who cares…?

Professional experts know I’m an anti-Semite (and unprofessional) because I wonder how Semitic is it to run an ethnic cleansing, mass murder, to deploy biological and chemical weapons, to summarily execute emergency responders (with their hands tied on the back), to loot, pillage and rape for, meanwhile, 78 years – and that with wholehearted support of all the distinguished governments of the civilised ‘the West’ (plus many others)…

Professional experts are describing Israel’s third (or is it fourth?) offensive into Gaza for top-notch military expertise, and a brilliant example of quick-learning processes. I’m unprofessional when trying to explain that Israel is facing an armed uprising, and that I cannot but wonder what do the Israelis expect to achieve now, after destroying about 95% of all the buildings, and thousands of terrorist tunnels, plus massacring over 20,000 children in the process – in the Gaza alone - yet failing to defeat ‘the Hamas’….

Professional experts can’t distinguish between a Rafale fighter-jet and a wheelbarrow, or are awarded all the imaginable academic accolades for fabricating fantasies about the Soviets, in May 1967, deploying a (then) non-flying prototype of a super-secret MiG-25 to a small air base lacking necessary support infra-structure, situated in the middle of the Sinai desert, less than 50km from the ‘border’ to Israel, to fly ‘reconnaissance over Dimona’. I’m unprofessional when checking their ‘research’ with help of finding and interviewing Egyptian MiG-21-pilots that flew ‘reconnaissance’ sorties they’ve credited to ‘Soviet MiG-25s’, or tactical manuals for MiG-21s from 1963 teaching operations at dynamic altitudes (above 18,000m altitude…. ‘where only MiG-25s could fly’, you know)….

Professional experts know who is good and who is bad, and are going to explain you this at every opportunity, esteemed reader – so also when unable to distinguish between the LeT and the JAN. Not to talk about when they wonder where am I getting what piece of info. I’m unprofessional and a jihadist-supporter when I can distinguish not only between different cliques within the JAN, point out the SDF is PKK, but even more so because I’m privately networking so many people around the globe for (meanwhile) 40+ years…

Professional experts know there is going to be a war between the USA and the PRC, and that Pudding is going to invade NATO. That’s 1000% sure. I’m unprofessional when finding no reasons to agree with such assessments.

…and do I have to go into my unprofessional reporting and analysis of the ongoing war in Ukraine?

With other words: when reading this blog, you’re exposed to outrageous, unprofessional blasphemies and raw, hard-core military pornography, bristling with unprofessional attempts at establishing clear chronology, technical details about complex weapons systems, and finding out about the backgrounds and context. It is even more unprofessional to connect the dots between these: the results are not only extremely hard to read, or full of mistakes, but also misinforming. Please, do us all a favour – but especially: do all the professional experts a big favour – and don’t read the following.

…if for no other reason, then because a growing number of professional experts is becoming seriously concerned about their markets and market-shares…

Thank you, very much, in advance, for understanding and stopping right here.

Thinking about what I’ve just listed above – not to talk about many other ‘affairs’ before and after, which I didn’t list – cannot but continue with the conclusion that, yes: I not only hope I’m unprofessional, but herewith declaring myself a miserable unprofessional. Because, if all the expertise I’ve listed above is ‘professional’, then I don’t want to be described that way.

It’s for similar reasons that I insist: I’m no ‘expert’. Indeed, I’m refusing to be addressed or described as such, and find anybody using that word in relation to me for offensive (or at least ignoring my instructions not to do so).

***

Even more so because since yesterday, there is yet more evidence – for example, if form of latest sat photos indicating yet another Indian missile strike on yet another Pakistani underground nuclear weapons storage facility (back on 10 May, of course; NOT ‘ever since’) – that I was wrong when concluding that India was targeting Pakistan’s nuclear weapons storage facilities, and this means a clear-cut victory (for India).

How can I get this disgusting? Is there no end of that?

Please, don’t click on that link. Don’t take a look. Don’t try to find out what is the purpose of the facility in question. Don’t ever come to the idea to think what this means for relations between Islamabad and New Delhi. Ignore all of this, keep the Pakistani-Chinese ‘6:0’ score in mind, and instead cheer a ‘victory for Islamabad’. After that, you are free to, perhaps, ask yourself: how does a nobody like me (and a ‘white’ at that) dare coming to the idea to draw such incredible conclusions, when conclusions of so many noble people – so many notable, professional experts working for honourable governments and acclaimed think-tanks (all paid to report what they’ve been told to report), and so many professors in online-psychoanalysis – are reporting something entirely different?

It’s the same in regards of Ukraine. How dare an unprofessional and rude nobody like me coming to the idea to criticise hero Zelensky? Or mention his ‘advisor’ Yermak in relation to Zelensky? Complain about their incompetence? Or complain about corruption and incompetence within the Ministry of Defence and intelligence services of Ukraine? Since when are Zelensky and Yermak to blame for that?

Just imagine how shameless I am to mention ‘corruption and incompetence’ in the same sentence with the Hero of Ukraine and military genius General Syrsky… and his Buddies, after they’re persistently displaying systemic incompetence both on the battlefield and behind it, for two years? I am nothing else but an outrageous Russian propagandist when I complain about a brigade commander of the Ukrainian Air Force and Air Defence Force receiving the title ‘Hero of Ukraine’ for shooting down and killing one of his colleagues. That is instant offence for all of Ukraine and all of the Ukrainian defenders.

Above all, it is nothing else but my fault – mine, and nobody else’s – that Ukraine could have had long-range attack UAVs available in hundreds (if not thousands) already in August-September 2023. But is getting these only in April-May 2025. By no means can anybody blame the Zelensky administration or the Ministry of Defence in Kyiv for their illusions about a quick end of this war, and the resulting failure to acquire these already back then (and then strike all over Russia when this was unprepared… what for obscene, war-mongering thoughts are coming to my mind!?!). It is also me to blame – and it is little else but Russian propaganda – that the SBU screwed up for much of the last year, by deploying too few of available UAVs for its tit-for-tat offensive: one week against the Russian oil industry, the other for the Russian ammunition depots, and the third week for Russian command nodes on the Crimea…

Who cares? Look: Moscow is afire!

Look: Magura shot down a Su-30!

…and, look: a squirrel!

…and if I now ask where is that Palianytsa ultra-super-turbo missile-drone, so much praised by official Kyiv back in December: I’m nothing else but despicable… and wrong, too.

Who cares? Germany is going to finance Ukraine’s programme for long-range missiles, so that it can take another 2-3 years before something comes out of it and the war can thus go on and on…

Which reminds me of my persistent offense for all the glorious zombie id…. erm… ‘Western’ politicians. Come on: hand on heart, these are distinguished, highly-respectable, wise people having nothing else but the well-being of their nations and populations on thair minds, and helping Ukraine with all of their powers. So much so, one can’t put that into words. Like when supplying that SAMP-T SAM-battery to Kyiv, but not enough missiles to keep it in operations for longer than few weeks… Hey: is no problem, professional experts say the production of missiles is going to be increased by 40% this year, and 100% the next…

…don’t ask yourself if any of these are going to be sent to Ukraine, of course…

Really: I’ve got to get myself under control and admit it. The people in question are giving their best – including their wives, kids, and their underwear – to help Ukraine. Like bosses of different ‘western’ arms-manufacturers, complaining the artillery ammo acquired by the Czech Ammo Initiative is much too cheap, and ‘advising’ their governments not to pay for it…

I’m to blame also for stating the obvious: what of Ukraine, and who in Ukraine is going to survive Pudding’s genocide of Ukrainians – is simply no problem, for ‘the West’. No reason to hurry, no reason to start taking decisions on time. Only to arrange yet more conferences, to arrange meetings, to arrange conferences, so ‘they’ can talk.

And who’s said Ukrainian lives are worth more than those of Bosnian Muslims back in 1992-1995, or the Palestinians nowadays? They’re all themselves to blame: could’ve done their deals with the ‘stronger’ already long ago…

And so, when one now reads Tatarigami’s post about the Russians focusing on disrupting the logistics of the ZSU along the frontlines – by using a mix of electronic warfare, fibre-optic drones, and other types of UAVs – that’s ah-so-very-much surprising. As surprising as to read Ignat’s complaints that the Russian Iskander ballistic missiles now, seriously, do have a capability to fly (at least shallow) evasion manoeuvres on descent.*

This is even more surprising considering how much time were the Russians given to adapt to both of these issues, and how much time they’ve had to find solutions…

Simply unbelievable, isn’t it? …and exceptionally unprofessional from me to point this out.

***

Bottom line: please, be so kind, until further notice, don’t ask me to comment about ‘Ukraine’. I’m not only beyond ‘frustration’, but beyond the point of getting ‘white mad’ in this regards. If I do so, then as ‘intros’ or ‘addition of bits and pieces’ to Don’s (perhaps also to Ben’s) posts.

Instead, let me end with emphasising the fact that was, is, and is going to remain: a spade is a spade. Just like any bunch of jealous incompetents is a bunch of jealous incompetents, no matter what are their functions or positions.

*The Russians claimed this capability for the Iskander, ‘right from the start’, but that turned out to be hogwash. Instead, nowadays it’s an excellent excuse for Ignat to explain away the PSZSU’s growing inability to shot down such missiles… (at least ‘partially’ caused by hopelessly insufficient supply of surface-to-air missiles by ‘the West’)
