“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The Khreat Khokholite Khumvee Khounteroffensive

The long-awaited Ukrainian (counter)offensive has finally begun. Indeed, as of this writing, it has been underway for a bit over a week. Last Sunday, the hohols rolled out troops and vehicles in substantial force, and began what they insist on calling “probing...

Dambusting

Everyone has no doubt heard by now about the destruction of the Novaya Kakhovka hydroelectric dam, or Kakhovskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant (KHPP). The result was pretty much what you might expect – a big-ass wall of water rushing downstream and flooding towns...

Don’t put Pajeets in charge

Snake burritos

Much and more has been made of recent news that the Fake Administration will “allow” their European “allies” (read: vassals) to hand over F-16s to the Banderites. This latest round of Western wunderwaffen is nothing more than a cynical attempt...

Become glorious Russian hacker!!!

Many people in the West – a surprising number, given it has been more than 30 years since the Cold War ended – still believe Russians to be a dour, gruff, humourless bunch. Of course, anyone who spends more than 5 minutes around real Russians will tell you...
Gone full potato pancake

Gone full potato pancake

The term, “blin”, in Russian, means “pancake”. It is also synonymous with a mild Russian swear word that, more or less, translates as “dammit”, or “crap”. (As opposed to говно or черт, which translate much more closely...
