A curious thing I note on FB: pro-Ruzzian bots have a tendency to attempt to disguise themselves as normal people by posting lots of photos of (supposedly) them with dogs. Curious!

I note German military staff officers have just produced a 1200-page counter-Russian warfighting plan. Meanwhile, (on Facebook), I see lots of videos of UK troops engaged in perfecting ceremonial. Can the UK MoD really afford to spend so much time on ceremonial & public duties?

Maskirovka! Cf. 🇬🇪's Occupied Teritories., where the FSB Border Service and the rosgvardia/ MVD have posed as bona fide 'security actors' since Medvedev signed ukazes in Dec 2010 putting all such troops under OPCON of the SMD, which should have fooled no-one.

Russian Ukaz 765 appointed one Nikolai Udovichenko as "tsar" in matters pertaining to 'border' demarcation around Georgia. It transpires, this 'diplomat' is actually a lt general in the FSB Border Service: may we assume he will attend the Nov GID presenting himself as a simple diplomat?

cominf.org/en Yes, it's the season for the deluded to come to the fore. IPRMs are a tribal ritual conducted in the vain belief that the EU can do business with the occupants. How can you 'reduce tensions' when the Russians are conducting a 'grey zone' Continuation War, including State Terrorism?

An interesting summit forthcoming on the 15th: Putin, who in accordance with long-established Russian official tradition will employ deception (maskirovka) all of the time, and Trump, who, on his rare incursions into the realms of lucidity, brings a whole new dimension to amoral venality.

In most western countries, in varying degrees, there is a Presumption of Innocence if one ends up in court. On that analogy, I've concluded that any narrative proceeding from any officialdom, should be viewed on the basis of a Presumption of Maskirovka, overruling normal canons of objectivity.

I agree with General Sanders' assessment. I would point out that 'rebuilding' of the UK's internal defence capability, would not be necessary if the UK governments of the early 90s (Thatcher and Major) had not been naively obsessed with reaping a 'peace dividend' and dismantling the entire UK
