They know, but having to accommodate the Palestinians and the Arabs is a fate worse than death for them.

It’s never been so over for Russia:

More and more data indicate a slowdown in the real sector of the economy. For example, the PMI index in the manufacturing industries fell to 49.5 points in September. For comparison, in August it was 52.1 points (information from S&P Global). Let me remind you that a PMI above 50 points indicates high activity in industry - indirect evidence of economic growth. Below 50 points - a decline.

Loading on Russian Railways in September also fell by 6.3% compared to last September. Cargo turnover is minus 6%. Loading for January-September is minus 4%. Also evidence of a decline.

Although the indicators are influenced by a whole range of reasons, from a political point of view, the situation has become extremely clear. From now on, all failures in the domestic economy will be EXPLAINED ONLY by the malicious policy of the Central Bank.

Just as a year ago, failures at the front were explained only by the leadership of the current Secretary of the Security Council. From this point of view, the situation inspires a certain optimism. The resignation of the head of the Bank of Russia may become a reality against the backdrop of an economic downturn.

Let Elvira Nabiullina explain to the deputies that monetary policy does not have an overwhelming effect on economic growth. For society, she has finally become an undesirable figure who must be removed. Otherwise, we will not win. The political risks for Nabiullina and her team are becoming very high. Judging by the dynamics of the oncoming events, there is still a year and a half left to wait.

The libs have won.

There are novel ways to detect stealth fighters but the transition from academic/scientific proof of concept research towards integration with the military often takes ages, with many technical difficulties along the way. It’s not something we will see in another decade or so, and even then counter-measures are also being developed as detection capabilities evolve. And I assure you there are far more advanced methods that are not being reported in open academic journals.

Not to mention that in actual military campaigns, there will be full spectrum jamming from both sides with electronic warfare that significantly perturb the detection and tracking capacity of their detector arrays. If things get serious, shooting down AWACS and military satellites (which Russia already has developed the capability of doing so) is not out of the boundaries.

Even today, Russia, despite having one of the best air defense systems in the world, is still improving their detection algorithms and figuring out new ways to thwart off NATO-supported Ukrainian air/drone strikes that have similarly adopted increasingly novel tactics. And this often comes only after Russia has suffered damages from a new wave of strikes and adapting to these novel methods.
