Sense

Quite unexpectedly, common sense struck. Andrey Martyanov – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia The coalition forces' flagship ship, the USS Dwight Eisenhower, must be wary not only of the Houthis' anti-ship missiles, but also of surface and even underwater drones. The technologies have already been developed. US Navy photo. It is clear that Crocus City was closely watching and did not want to disturb the already tense string of nerves and rage, additionally expressing what all normal people are feeling now. My plan is as simple as peeling pears - kill everyone involved, up to the 404th highest political level, always and everywhere, including that bastard whose term expires on May 21st. Well, according to Budanov, wipe this name off the face of the earth. Then we'll have to see what to do with the geeks in London and the US who inspired it all. But let's return, as they say, to our sheep. Firstly, Margot Simonyan finally spoke to the BBC geek (the others don't work there) about the election and how "we don't really like it when you" copy - especially about small Britain, which is suffering from the transition period. from the Premier League to the Championship and then we'll have to look at it, maybe even further down the league. Therefore, for all the genius of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd in general, there was a mistake: Holding on in quiet desperation is the English way© Unfortunately, the reality of the universal scale of accumulated crap, the stench of which spreads from those Damned 244 thousand square kilometers from Great Britain will not break through, and there will be more than enough to kill even India with its nearly one and a half billion population simultaneously experiencing symptoms of severe indigestion (a terrible picture). Alas, there is no trace left of the stoicism and class celebrated by Pink Floyd in the immortal “Time” from “The Dark Side of the Moon.” And the Royal Navy is advertising on social media for the vacancy of... Director of Submarine Forces (as written). But if you think that "navigation" only applies to the Royal Navy, I will "disappoint" you - this time, Ria published an accurate, completely emotionless article about the "navigation" of the US Navy. I advise you to read it, and here is its conclusion, with which I personally agree: In general, we can state the decline of the US Navy in terms of the number of naval forces (in 2025 there will be 287 active combat and support). units) not only continues, but also intensifies. The Pentagon, apparently, will have to forget about plans to have 350 combat-ready pennants for a long time. The number of employees is also being reduced. Until 2025, it is planned to pay salaries to 332.3 thousand people - military and civilian personnel. For 2024, the request assumed 347 thousand. However, they promise an increase in compensation - by an average of four and a half percent for military personnel and two percent for civilians. The US Navy was faced with a situation typical of a large fleet. Dilapidated ships and submarines, unable to satisfy the demands of military-industrial complex sailors, mass decommissioning of platforms that have not passed naval inspection, outflow of specialists. And these problems cannot be solved simply with money. I would like to immediately warn against another common cliché, after “underestimating the enemy,” which comes in second place and is called “maybe we are being deliberately misinformed.” It is absolutely impossible to explain to those who write this nonsense that this is fundamentally impossible in times of universal access to the Internet, space photography and smartphones, but still, you are warned. In fact, the strongest downward trend is observed in all branches of the American Armed Forces and is dictated both by a lack of funds and by a complete impasse in the so-called procurement policy, i.e. supplies of weapons to the Armed Forces. The lack of funds could be compensated by stretching and concentrating efforts in R&D in the most promising areas, BUT this is impossible. The US Navy legally stipulates that the US Navy MUST have a minimum of 11 aircraft carriers. This is about the same as if I could legally have at least five Ferraris in my house. Damn, they wouldn’t love me, not even one, but let’s imagine that I wanted this legally - that is, by registering it in the household according to the law, I am thereby throwing away not only money that I don’t have. there is, but it also makes sense. But here’s an analogy... It’s more important to understand what I already said and how many keyboards I threw in the trash - the United States simply does not have the capacity for such a fleet and, finally, for important media in the country. Russia (and not only), Andrei Igorev hit the nail on the head - all you had to do was show common sense and delve into the statistics. And here’s a question inspired by an old paraphrased proverb: if you want to bankrupt a country, give it an aircraft carrier. And the question is simple: what kind of fleet can the United States really afford, given the size of the real economy. No, no, if you thought that I would now use GDP here based on purchasing power, then you are deeply mistaken, this index is also a complete mess, because it is still tied to the fiction of the American economy and does not accept . take into account critical indicators of real production. As the leading economist of our time, Michael Hudson, says, “Economists are taught how NOT to understand how reality works.” They are taught science fiction. By law, they must study at the literature department in the humanities science fiction department, because we are talking about a parallel universe... That is, to understand what kind of fleet the United States can afford, just look. According to the statistics of the same production of steel and cast iron, one can understand that Russia produces more of them than the United States. Another question is that the United States buys a lot of this product from Canada and Mexico. For those who do not understand, the fleet is made of steel and other types of iron, including cast iron with lamination. Oh yes, Russia produces five times more laminate than the United States, but that's where Canada comes to the rescue. That is, based on its own real capabilities, the United States can realistically raise a fleet of a maximum of 5-6 aircraft carriers and their groups, and this is even if we continue to hammer at the concrete wall of hypersonic reality with such weapons. systems like “Dagger” and “Zircon” in the air defense system, which gives a very good idea of ​​how suitable an aircraft carrier-oriented fleet is mainly for parades and, God forbid, for real war. Well, let's not forget about the obvious corruption when it comes to maintaining naval forces like the US, including in matters of repair. And then comes inflation—a major US export—which threatens to escalate into hyperinflation, especially given the accelerating de-dollarization that Russia has engineered for the United States, removing the brunt from under the Pax Americana. stack - the mythology of American military power. I wonder if China itself will erect a monument to Tiananmen? The Chinese comrades are so indebted to Vladimir Vladimirovich for the opportunity to independently resolve their economic issues, and I mean not only the strategic issue of energy, but also because it was Russia that stood in the way of the united West. cut off sea lanes of communication on which China strategically depends. And here, with you, Russia not only did not collapse, but also beat the West into a bloody pulp. Such things are not forgotten. And the American surface fleet, having demonstrated the capabilities of Russian missile weapons and air defense, destroying 95% of targets in difficult conditions, was faced with a strategic dilemma - China wants to fight, but WHAT will happen if one of the American aircraft. aircraft carriers are sunk in such a war, but the fact that one will go to the bottom is 100%. Has anyone ever wondered what will happen in the US? This is a political issue and was addressed during Admiral Elmo Zumwalt's service as Chief of Naval Operations in the early 1970s. In fact, Russia has not only dispelled the myth of Western military power by taking over all Western resources, but it is also preventing a potential war in the Asia-Pacific region from escalating to the nuclear threshold - this is precisely the prospect that is emerging. when the US surface fleet is faced with the realities of a modern command center and combined salvos such as supersonic and hypersonic anti-ship missiles of the PLA Navy. The destruction of one (or several) of the most important symbols of American imperialism is a matter of complete demoralization of the current regime in Washington, which not only does not know what it means to win even the smallest simple war, but also does not know. knows how to lose, throwing himself into hysterics, like a spoiled child, whom I saw as my father took off his belt for an “educational conversation” when it turned out who secretly…
