Enjoying your new ''the hottest summer''? The problem I see that people have is trust issues. Who to trust? The answer is simple - no one. It depends, of course. I am talking about planet-scale trust. The only thing for such a scale that can be trusted is properly proven data in science. Not any random ''study'' that the Chinese government bought in some science magazine, but properly verified by other colleagues' studies and data. While no single religion, ''future seeing people'', astrology, or any other fantasy-based language game (philosophy) has predicted anything even close to that, science had it at least from as early as 1896, when Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius published calculations on how carbon dioxide emissions could warm the planet. The article in the picture is probably not written by The Rodney & Otamatea Times, on August 14, 1912. Most likely copied from Popular Mechanics from the March 1912 issue. They used to copy each other, as of today. The closer we get to today's time, the more precise the calculations and predictions are by science, because we have accelerated the amount of consumption of coal and oil. Instead of working to slow it down as much as possible, what are we doing? We are going in the complete opposite direction. How? Just look for statistics on, for example, how many people believe vaccines are bad and how the number of such idiots is growing every year. Also, instead of finishing the war in Europe as soon as possible, to give resources for building new ways of harvesting energy, Europe is continuing to buy oil and gas from russia, so russia can continue attacking Ukraine. All the weapons that Ukraine gets now, or what Ukraine does now in russia every day, was not so long ago behind the wall of even discussing it. Now all this is happening. So, maybe we should have done that already from day 1, and now we wouldn't have that war anymore. After the war is over, after russia is crushed and can't exist without China's help, after it becomes China's region, calculations will show how much time we lost, time that can't be brought back, and most importantly, people's lives. People who actually tried are in the minority, and the majority? Well, what can I say to you? The majority of you are reading it by accident; just keep scrolling your reels with funny cat or couple videos. Maybe if you hide yourself in it, the world will fix it by itself, as it certainly did in 1912 when people read that newspaper and did nothing.

My Paris-Le Bourget, June 2025.

Mudry CAP 10 at Le Bourget 2025 in Paris. The rest of the pictures from the air show will edit and publish sometime in August.

Glory to Ukraine! Thank you for making russia weaker and weaker! The history of how war can be ruled was just changed yesterday by Ukraine. The fact that yesterday or today, or in any close future, fascist russia can not answer in any way to the Ukrainian ''Special Military Operation'' against fascist russian air bases, shows how weak fascist russia is now. To those who believe russia is winning in any way, just look at the facts: 1. They lost their Black Sea fleet. Ukraine destroyed it. 2. For last 2.5 years russia did not occupy any big city or big territory, just some villages and small towns. Their attacks are on about 20-50 people each day, multiple times a day. Not more. They are not going to attack with hundreds. They can't. 3. Now they have lost about 40% of their strategic cruise missile carriers stationed at air bases. Can you imagine what would happen to a country that decides to do the same to China? To the US? To India? To the UK? Basically, to any country that has a nuclear weapon. Imagined? (one important footnote is that US or any other country I listed is not at war for 3.5 years.) Fun fact is that what happened in russia yesterday, happened not in one place, but in 5 different regions of that huge country. Finding one person whose fault it was will not work. I will watch with great pleasure as they are going to kill each other by blaming whose faults it was. :))) So, why are there no nuclear missiles flying to Ukraine right now? The answer is very simple, maybe too simple, that I see many people do not believe in it - fascist russia is very weak, and putin does not care about his people or military bases. He knows nobody is going to attack him. Not NATO, or anyone else, and he is calm. Not calm about Ukraine, of course, which he can not take for 11 years now. But what can he do about yesterday? Nothing. He has used every single weapon against Ukraine already. There is no new type of weapon left. Only nuclear. But he also understands the consequences. Nobody can assure putin that Ukraine has not already gotten nuclear missiles. Can you? I can't. They had it before. They gave it all up so Europe and the US would protect them in case someone attacked them. Have they gotten protection? Not even close... But this is a whole different subject. They have brilliant scientists. They could have already made all new missiles with nuclear warheads. And they are waiting to answer if putin decides to do it. Ukraine will not hesitate. That is what putin is afraid. He is not afraid of a weak Europe or the US, which only shows ''deep concern'', but Ukraine will answer if they have it. Again, nobody can prove they don't have. Maybe they keep it just for an extreme case moment. The last thing I want to say about how brilliant this operation was is that the night before, two train bridges exploded in fascist russia. And the whole fsb (kgb) was working on that. russian military was told to prepare those planes to answer to Ukraine, and that is the reason why those planes were burning so well. Such a brilliant operation and execution! Glory to Ukraine! Thank you for making russia weaker and weaker!

(Only one thing I want to say before something might happen today, or a bit later.) Ukraine gave us time. 3.5 years to prepare. How did we do? How did we use that time? Pretended that nothing was happening? Pretended that nothing is going to happen to us in Europe, in the US, or in Asia? They gave us time; they told us, 'You are the next if Ukraine falls.' But Ukraine has not fallen. They become stronger and stronger under heavy pressure from all sides - similar to diamond becomes stronger the more you press it. If any shit fascist russia will do now, it is on us, not on Ukraine. Ukraine is defending itself on its own land. Protecting their people and government, which had been betrayed many times after the USSR had fallen. Yes, the West has betrayed Ukraine multiple times, and the result of it is the war that started in 2014. fascist russia has seen that nobody will help Ukraine and started the war. Ukraine gave us time to prepare. Did we do enough? Soon we will know. (Update. Since nothing happened, it is a clear confirmation how putin doesn’t care about his army or nuclear strategic airplanes. He knows no one is going to attack him, so no action is necessary. He is only fighting with kindergarten and schools in Ukraine with targeted attacks.) (In the picture, you can see a military airbase right now in Murmansk, fascist russia. 3 more airbases are under Ukrainian attack right now. These aircrafts have been used to kill kids and citizens of Ukraine.)

Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. (Trump-putin ''deal'') from Wiki: ''A week after signing the pact, on 1 September 1939, Germany invaded Poland. On 17 September, one day after a Soviet–Japanese ceasefire came into effect after the Battles of Khalkhin Gol, and one day after the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union approved the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Stalin, stating concern for ethnic Ukrainians and Belarusians in Poland, ordered the Soviet invasion of Poland. After a short war ending in military defeat for Poland, Germany, and the Soviet Union drew up a new border between them on formerly Polish territory in the supplementary protocol of the German-Soviet Frontier Treaty.'' We all know what happened after that on 22 June 1941. "The Soviet Union had wanted good relations with Germany for years and was happy to see that feeling finally reciprocated", wrote the historian Gerhard L. Weinberg. Déjà vu feeling, right? Trump, (like the USSR back then) is only talking about getting better relations with fascist russia (a modern copy of nazi Germany). Unfortunately, until the USA will get their own 06/22 of 1941, they would not understand what they were doing. And then, there will be a new Memorial Day as 9/11 is now. I am not wishing such a horrible war for the US. But guys, you are heading in that direction way faster than the USSR did in the 1930s. It was the stupidest thing for Stalin to not understand that Hitler would attack the USSR and it costed the lives of millions. But the only difference, and really, the only, is that the USA, UK, France, and many others helped USSR to not lose in the war with Nazi Germany. But who will help the USA? Trump's golf friends? Every Empire you can recall has fallen. Every single one of them. It is absolutely disgusting to watch how the kremlin's narratives are being repeated in the English language by everybody who works today in the Oval Office.

Yet another post that will be lost in the void. One that most of you will read, scroll past, and forget—until this issue touches you, your loved ones, or your family. Then you will truly care. Smart people realized this long ago and have been screaming to be heard, but with no results. The message was clear: we must develop alternative energy sources that will not only secure our survival in the future but also free us from dependence on countries that choose a path of terrorism. Dependence on fascist russian oil and gas has created a reality where the EU sends more money to fascist russia than it does to help Ukraine, a country that has been defending itself for 11 years. Since the full-scale war began, fascist russia has earned $1 trillion from selling oil and gas, using that money solely for killing and destruction—so far, only in Ukrainian cities and against Ukrainian citizens. Fascism and propaganda have proven to be more effective and powerful for spreading their narratives than democracy and all its flavors. There will always be a country where its so-called "leaders" decide to drag their people back into the Middle Ages, with war as their only interest. What message are we sending to the next ones? Donald Trump is sending a clear one to future dictators: that war crimes will go unpunished, that we can negotiate with terrorists and accept them as equals. And now, he wants to punish Ukraine, the victim, with even worse conditions than those imposed on fascist Germany after WWII. Maybe I don't agree with every decision Zelenskiy makes for my beloved Ukraine. Maybe I dislike his friendship with another fascist country, Turkey. But I am grateful to him and to all Ukrainians who have stayed brave these past years, allowing me to (still) live in peace here. I am fully aware that if not for Zelenskiy and Ukraine, I would now be fighting on the battlefields of Western Europe against millions of brainwashed russians. Glory to Ukraine! We will win! (Some idiots will only understand which side to choose later.)

Sunset in Oslo As we used to take a boat to islands in the water, someday we will get used to take a spaceship to other islands in the space.

People in Georgia protest while holding EU flags. They are getting beaten for the will to be with the EU. And what does the EU do? Having a ''deep concern''? These ''police'' dudes will be traveling to Europe with visa-free after doing their ''good job''. Why not banning entire police of Georgia from entering the Shengen zone? Why not ban every member of the party that faked the election? Probably ''deep concern'' does not allow them to actually think and do what needs to be done. We see it with Ukraine. EU helps as much to keep them alive, but not to win. Such weakness will bring us to a future that our children will not be proud of. On the other hand, the protestors are against the Georgian government's decision to go out of the EU path. Will you be satisfied if Kobakhidze says, that they are back on the EU path? That's it? Will you believe it and go home? Wasn't that clear already for years that there is no EU path with that party? What's the form of the protest? Do you just want the EU path on paper or in reality? The real EU path is without Ivanishvili, without this pro-fascist russian party. So, I don't really understand what is the form of that protest. The whole party needs to escape to their beloved fascist russia. That should be the message. These ''police'' guys are following the orders of their chiefs. Their chief is following orders from Kobakhidze. Kobakhidze following Ivanishvili's orders, and Ivanishvili is doing exactly what is told by putin and the kremlin. If that is not clear to anyone, they should go back to school. There was some glitch in your education.
