武装冲突从来都不是直来直去的。 武器不是力量。 民族认同很重要。

作者:菲利普斯·佩森·奥布莱恩 (Phillips Payson O’Brien)

尽管俄罗斯在乌克兰发动的可怕战争的后果将在数十年内逐渐显现,但从这场冲突中吸取的三个教训已经很清楚了,而且,回想起来,应该一直都是显而易见的。 一年前的今天,当入侵开始时,外界的大部分评论都集中在俄罗斯的优势上。 人们普遍认为,弗拉基米尔·普京总统的军队拥有压倒性的空中力量和火力、快速移动的地面部队和广泛的网络战能力,所有这些据说都意味着俄罗斯将迅速征服其邻国。 它声称的力量似乎如此强大,以至于当俄罗斯军队刚刚越过边界时,一些分析人士都在思考哪位亲莫斯科的乌克兰政客可能会领导基辅的傀儡政权。

然而,过去 12 个月的第一个教训是,战争绝非易事或直来直去的——这就是为什么发动战争对任何国家来说几乎总是错误的决定。 美国有时让战争看起来很简单,最明显的是 1991 年,当时沙漠风暴行动在一个半月内将伊拉克军队赶出了科威特。 然而,只有在美国进行了长达十年的军事建设并部署了世界上最先进的军事技术之后,才有可能取得这一胜利。 即使在那时,海湾战争的一个决定性特征是美国并没有试图占领另一个社会。 当向巴格达进军的机会出现时,乔治·H·W·布什总统的政府却退缩了。

在此后的三十年里,尽管美国拥有世界上最大的经济体和最强大的武装力量,但事实证明,美国通常无法将其主导地位转化为快速的胜利,而最终陷入旷日持久的冲突,充其量只是结果喜忧参半。 战争开始容易,结束难。没有人真正知道军队、技术和经济资源在激烈的战斗中会如何表现。 计划失败,混乱笼罩,军事优势变成僵持时期。

过去一年在乌克兰发生的战争比沙漠风暴更为典型。俄罗斯的压倒性力量不过是; 俄罗斯没有向乌克兰人发动现代战争,而是依靠陈旧的武器和指挥结构。 俄罗斯军队没有在几周内占领基辅,而是经历了重大的系统故障。 从那以后,俄罗斯的问题似乎变得更糟了。 普京换帅如换袜子,装备质量下降,伤亡人数暴增。 现在,俄罗斯和乌克兰军队在长长的血淋淋的战壕中对峙,普京几乎没有希望按照他的意愿结束战争。

尽管冲突中的一方几乎从来不会简单地压倒另一方,但对于像俄罗斯这样存在严重缺陷的大国来说,失败的风险尤其高。 当前战争的第二个教训是,军事力量不是国家力量的基础,而是塑造国家武装力量的经济、技术、政治和社会因素的产物。 俄罗斯对乌克兰的入侵有时被描述为大国对抗小国。 在西方政策圈,俄罗斯专家的主导地位——他们中的许多人在其职业生涯中一直将俄罗斯视为地区霸主,而其邻国主要是后苏联国家,促成了这种事件框架。

俄罗斯无疑是一个核大国,但从几乎所有其他标准来看,它都远远落后于其声誉。 俄罗斯经济存在严重缺陷。 其国内生产总值在世界上排名第十,不到美国的十分之一。 俄罗斯的大部分财富是通过资源开采创造的,因此很少生产高科技产品,实际上几乎没有其他具有任何实际价值的产品。 在社会方面,人口正在萎缩且预期寿命相对较低的俄罗斯表现出极大的痛苦迹象。 在政治上,它在一个独裁者的统治下已经僵化,独裁者通过容忍接近王位的人的腐败来巩固他对国家的控制。

换句话说,今天的俄罗斯军队是盗贼统治没落的产物,而不是大国的产物。 

通过忽视俄罗斯的系统性弱点,西方分析家帮助制造了民主国家今天所处的混乱局面。 基于武器数量的假设认为乌克兰太弱,无法在公开战斗中抵抗俄罗斯,因此推迟了向陷入困境的国家提供大量军事援助。 这是一个有悖常理的循环论证:因为俄罗斯强大而乌克兰弱小,我们应该停止向乌克兰提供援助。

幸运的是,事实证明这种说法是站不住脚的。 这场战争以及 1945 年以来的许多其他战争的第三个教训是,低估民族认同的重要性会导致军事灾难。 按照传统标准,乌克兰相对于今天的俄罗斯比 1980 年代阿富汗相对于苏联以及 1960 年代北越相对于美国要强大得多。 两个冷战超级大国都因试图用武力镇压当地抵抗力量而感到羞愧,都不得不撤军。

然而,在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的前期和去年的大部分时间里,西方许多人未能意识到乌克兰人对他们的独立和民主的重视程度。 一些关注俄罗斯的学者似乎已经接受了莫斯科的观点,认为乌克兰是一个软弱的、人为的实体,缺乏广泛的民众支持。 北约支持基辅的怀疑论者主要关注乌克兰的腐败(同时忽视了腐败对俄罗斯权力的影响)。 

这样的判断和质疑现在看来是愚蠢的。 乌克兰人的身份从一开始就是坚强而坚决的。 许多分析家忽视了民主国家,即使是不完美的民主国家,相对于独裁国家的军事优势。 尽管前者在受到威胁时经常显得混乱和分裂,但他们可以更强有力、更灵活、更聪明地做出反应,部分原因是他们的公民感到有能力在战斗环境发生变化时即兴发挥和表现出主动性。 这种模式在乌克兰也适用。 尽管最初拥有的先进武器较少,但乌克兰进行了顽强的反击,给俄罗斯造成了深远的影响,据估计,俄罗斯已经损失了战争开始时拥有的一半主战坦克。

结果如此明显,以至于之前淡化乌克兰机会的某些评论员似乎改变了主意。 前国务卿亨利·基辛格一直主张美国应该在西方和俄罗斯之间保持中立,他去年坚持要求基辅做出领土让步。 但今年早些时候,他表示支持乌克兰加入北约。

过去一年的三个教训:战争从来不是直来直去的; 权力不基于武器; 民族认同具有军事价值,这应该让民主支持者松一口气。

    Зачем нужны прогоны XRumer?

    Я использую прогоны Хрумером для нескольких задач, для которых Хрумер подходит идеально:

    Анкорный прогон информационных сайтов по очень широкой семантике (свои сайты прогоняю по 80% всей имеющейся семантики);
    Безанкорный прогон любых сайтов (для раскрутки и ускорения индексации белых сайтов, дорвеев, накрутки пузомерок, увеличения и разбавления ссылочной массы);
    Прогон Хрумером для ускорения индексации биржевых ссылок (если накупили биржевого хлама, который не хочет попадать в индекс);
    Многоуровневые ссылки (страница вашего сайта — 10 дорогих анкорных ссылок — 100 дешевых ссылок — прогон Хрумером);
    Прогон Хрумером отдельного домена с постраничным редиректом на основной сайт (отдельный домен можно неистово гонять, так как в любой момент он может быть отклеен от основного сайта, к тому же, эти ссылки можно скрыть от конкурентов).
    Д ля этих задач прогон Хрумером — идеальное решение. Кроме того, можно прогонять Хрумером не только страницы сайта, но и YouTube-видео, публикации в Pinterest или других соцсетях.

  2. Straight off, Mixer Money is the only Bitcoin Tumbler we’ve ever crossed paths with which offers a “Free trial”! The free trial obviously doesn’t mean they’ll just send you free money; rather no fee or commission is charged for this free trial although it’s limited to, and is exclusive for 0.0001BTC tumbling only. Their process of acquiring the clean coins is quite unique, obtained from various stock exchanges such as DigiFinex, Cryptonex, Binance and so on; ensuring cleaner coins than some other questionable sources pertaining to their claimed check using a proprietary algorithm. In the background, a user’s money is first mixed in their pre-mixer with other coins; then sent to the stock exchanges for further mixing with other traders’ coins and then summoned back to be sent back to the users. The major flaw with the tumbler however is its lack of user-control, users have absolutely no control over the time-delays meaning you can’t specify the duration gap between the outputs rather it’s randomized between 1-6 hours. Distribution-control too can’t be controlled and the mixer sends randomized outputs to the addresses. The fee can’t be controlled by the users either and is again randomly set between 4-5%+ 0.00015 BTC network fee, truth be told it’s one of the highest tumbler fee we’ve ever seen. The minimum deposit limit is 0.0001 BTC and the maximum being 50BTC/ transaction. Yomix : Uses stealth pools to anonymize transactions Coinmize : Zero-log policy Coin Mixer : Fast payouts Bitcoin Mixer : It offers flexible transaction fees and a low minimum transaction limit Mixero : Excellent customer support 1. Yomix – Uses stealth pools to anonymize transactions Yomix is another one of the mixer that deserves to top most Bitcoin mixer charts based. For starters its user-interface is one of the simplest and easiest to understand. Then, it supports as many as 10 additional addresses, which is the maximum most mixers on this list support. Its fee based on address, 0.0002 per address, no service fee. It has a no logs policy with a 7-day default retention of the logs for support and transaction-related issues, although users get to permanently and instantly delete the logs manually whenever they wish anytime before this 7-day auto clear period as well. Does provide distribution control for each individual address separately; time-delay too is available although it’s randomly set by the platform and not user-controlled. The minimum limit too is quite low at just 0.0005BTC while the maximum limit depends on the real-time reserves. Bottom line, apart from lower user-control on fee and time-delays it’s pretty perfect.Yomix is a simple service that will increase your privacy while using and transacting Litecoin. Every single person have its right for a personal privacy even when transacting, trading or donating Litecoin. Due to litecoin blockchain features you are not completely anonymous while using LTC and here comes Litecoin Mixing Service to help you cut all ties between your old and fresh mixed LTC coins. Using LTC mixer makes almost impossible third-parties to trace your new Litecoin Address and find out how wealthy you are.Yomix runs on the Darknet and is one of the most popular Bitcoin toggle switches. This dark service uses new technology, it doesn’t just clean up your coins, you get brand new coins that have never been on the dark web. The cleaning process can take no more than 4 hours. To carry out cleaning on Helix in the basic version of Grams, you need to register, in the versions of Helix Light and Helix Market this is not necessary. If you still decide to use the Grams version, you will have to pay an entrance fee of 0.01 BTC. Helix has an additional feature (Auto-Helix) that allows you to specify which addresses your coins will be mixed with when they are credited to your account. Helix also enforces a “no log” policy, all logs are deleted automatically after 7 days or by the user immediately after completion of the output. Helix has a third party server not connected to Grams. A number of Bitcoin client programs that he uses are located on a completely separate server from Helix and Grams. Even if Grams is attacked or compromised, Helix will not be affected.If you’re looking for a mixer which neither keeps any logs, nor asks you to register; Yomix is an option you can peek at. It does offer registrations in case you’d want to keep things professional, organized and are a frequent mixer. It’s one of the very few mixers which offer “multiple deposit addresses” (upto 5); so you can break the deposit into multiple parts which add upto your total amount. Even offers 2-FA (via PGP) for account security. It also acts as a BTC aXMR a BTC convertor which further adds anonymity. The fee is randomized between a minimum 1% and a maximum 4%. Minimum Withdrawal and deposit limits are acceptable, currently 0.00045 BTC and 0.0018 BTC respectively. Upto 10 additional addresses supported for each output. Time-delays aren’t completely user-controlled, yet users get to specify the maximum delay they want for the total output. All outputs are processed before this timer is reached. Instant withdrawal too available. Pros: Has impressive time delaysZero-logs of your transactions 2. Coinmize – Zero-log policy Coinmize currently only supports Bitcoin mixes, however, it has plans to bring in ETH mixes in the near future. It has been featured on Bitcoin.com/ News BTC/ Crypto News/ The Next Web etc. hence building a bit of trust. Very modern, advanced, user-controlled interface. Allows upto 5 output addresses. Obviously, doesn’t keep any logs whatsoever. The user-control is impressive. You get to control the fund-distribution, as well as the time-delay for each output address manually. Even the fee can be set manually. The cheapest allowed fee is 0.5% which is more than acceptable. The highest is set at 5%. Obviously the 0.25mBTC blockchain transaction fee is attached on top of the selected fee. It even has a “strength meter” which shows how strong your mix is, based on all the factors you’ve selected. No registration required whatsoever. And it does provide the mixing code to ensure all outputs are fresh and not linked to any of your previous deposits.Coinmize is one of its kind and requires special mention. It supports Bitcoin cryptocurrency and is clearly unknown on the point of no logs policy. It requires a deposit of at least 0.01 BTC and the transaction fee is 2% along with the 0.0004 BTC network fee. It supports multiple addresses of up to 10 and requires confirmation of 1. No registration is required and it does not offer a referral program. However, the letter of guarantee is provided.Supporting multiple types of cryptocurrency, Coinmize is one of the most flexible Bitcoin tumblers available today. Besides requiring a minimum deposit, service fees are charged, and users are required to register to use this site. Referral programs are also on offer along with support for multiple recipient addresses (max 10).Based on the experience of many users on the Internet, Coinmize is one of the leading Bitcoin tumblers that has ever appeared. This scrambler supports not only Bitcoins, but also other above-mentioned cryptocurrencies. Exactly this platform allows a user to exchange the coins, in other words to send one type of coins and get them back in another type of coins. This process even increases user’s anonymity. Time-delay feature helps to make a transaction untraceable, as it can be set up to 24 hours. There is a transaction fee of 0.0005 for each extra address. Pros: User-controlled time delaysIt offers flexible transaction fees and a low minimum transaction limit 3. Coin Mixer – Fast payouts This is by far the most unique Coin Mixer I’ve ever encountered till date; that’s so pertaining to its “Time-travel” feature! (Whoa!) Basically instead of operating on the traditional receive unclean coins > send clean coins process, it instead uses a create wallet > fund it with chips beforehand > receive unclean coins > grant access to the pre-funded wallet process! This lets users spend the clean coins even before the unclean coins were sent to the mixer (because the wallet was pre-funded) and that’s the reason I termed it the time-travel mixer. Also it funds the wallets with “chips” which are not the same thing as Bitcoins, they’re basically the private keys which can be exported to your Bitcoin wallets to fund your wallets with the amount the chips were worth. It also lets users bet their Chips which has a chance of doubling the worth of their chips, other advanced features include merging which lets users combine two big chips into one single chip, or splitting which divides one big chip into two smaller chips. Its fee structure too is an unique- “Pay what you like” feature, which not only adds to user anonymity by randomizing the fee but also makes the service more affordable and customizable. Because users completely control when or how much funds they wish to withdraw, it translates into 100% user control on time-delays and distribution control. No logs are kept after a 7-day retention period; or there also is an option to manually scrub all logs whenever you wish prior to this 7-day period. The minimum deposit limit on the platform is 0.0001BTC.This Coin Mixer also supports Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin bearing no logs policy. It requires a minimum deposit of 0.005 BTC, 0.01 BCH, 0.1 ETH, 1 LTC, and the transaction fee is 0.5% plus 0.0005 for each extra address. It supports multiple addresses of up to 10 and requires confirmation from 1 to 50. No registration is required and it does offer a referral program. Also, it comes with a letter of guarantee.What marks Coin Mixer out from the crowd is the fact that this crypto mixer is able to process transactions for Bitcoin and Litecoin. There is a minimum deposit requirement for both Bitcoin and Litecoin. The site is able to support a maximum of 5 multiple addresses with confirmation required for all addresses. No site registration is required and there is a referral program in place. Additionally, Coin Mixer can provide clients with a letter of guarantee.Coin Mixer is an extremely basic mixer. It allows only 1 output address to be specified. The UI too is extremely simple and doesn’t feature any sliders or calculators. Users simply enter their output address and receive the funds as simple as that. The minimum mix amount is 0.001BTC while the maximum is 100BTC. Amounts out of these limits will not be mixed. Users have no control on the fee and it’s randomized between 0.5% and 1%. An additional 0.0005 BTC miner fee also exists. The time-delay too (if any) isn’t user controlled and the mixer sends out funds at its own pace. Its working infrastructure seems to differ from other mixers out there. While most other mixers have a “reserve”, this platform seems to use miners. The unclean coins are sent to “miners”, and the clean coins too are claimed to be sent out from “miners”. It however doesn’t keep any logs and all information is deleted once a transaction is complete. Pros: Excellent customer support Secure Exchange 4. Bitcoin Mixer – It offers flexible transaction fees and a low minimum transaction limitBeing one of the earliest crypto coin tumblers, Bitcoin Mixer continues to be a easy-to-use and functional crypto coin mixer. There is a possibility to have two accounts, with and without registration. The difference is that the one without registration is less controllable by a user.The mixing process can be performed and the transaction fee is charged randomly from 1% to 3% which makes the transaction more anonymous. Also, if a user deposits more than 10 BTC in a week, the mixing service reduces the fee by half. With a time-delay feature the transaction can be delayed up to 24 hours. A Bitcoin holder should worry security leak as there is a 2-factor authentication when a sender becomes a holder of a PGP key with password. However, this mixing platform does not have a Letter of Guarantee which makes it challenging to address this tumbler in case of scams.Bitcoin Mixer is one of those mixing services that keep your crypto safe. The platform will take your bitcoin, mix it with other deposits, and give you the same amount of bitcoin in return. It’s designed to reduce bitcoin tracking, “clean” your coins, and help ensure anonymity on the transparent bitcoin network. A bitcoin mixer service like BitMix.Biz will take your bitcoin, then give you different bitcoin in return. The platform collects everyone’s bitcoin deposits, mixes them up into one central account, and then returns the bitcoins to users. You get the same amount of bitcoin (minus a fee), but different bitcoin from different parts of the blockchain. With BitMix.Biz, you get a letter of guarantee. That letter of guarantee is proof of BitMix.Biz’s obligations. When they give you their bitcoin address, they’ll provide a digitally-signed confirmation that this address has genuinely been generated by the server. That letter is always signed from the BitMix.Biz main bitcoin account (that account is publicly available on BitMix.Biz). The platform also uses a special 12 symbol “code” to ensure you get your bitcoin back every time you use the service. You save that code. That code also 100% excludes you from receiving your own coins anytime in the future. With Bitcoin Mixer you will get: Fully Anonymity After your order is invalid, BitMix.Biz will remove any information about your transactions. Absolutely no logs or personality identifying information is kept regarding your use of the BitMix.Biz service. Instant Transfer Money is instantly transferred to your address after your transaction is confirmed. Partner Program Bitcoin Mixer pays users when they refer others to the platform. They’ll pay for every transaction made by an invited user. The platform charges a mining fee of 0.4 to 4%. You can set the fee manually when you’re mixing your bitcoins. The address fee is 0.0005 BTC per output address to cover any transaction fees charged by miners. BitMix.Biz’s mixing process takes up to 24 hours, although it’s usually “almost instant” depending on the current service load. You’re required to mix a minimum of 0.007 BTC and a maximum of 1000 BTC. Transactions outside this range will not be accepted.Bitcoin Mixer is a simple service that will increase your privacy while using and transacting Litecoin. Every single person have its right for a personal privacy even when transacting, trading or donating Litecoin.

Mixero – Excellent customer support Mixero makes the process of clearing bitcoins very easy and convenient for the client. This resource requires one confirmation of the transaction, after which new clean coins are sent to the specified wallet. Users can also control latency for processing their transactions. This is an offshore service, and its sites are also located offshore. This provides users with additional peace of mind and confidence that their data is strictly confidential. In addition, once the transaction is confirmed, users are sent a unique “delete logs” link, giving users the ability to manually delete their traces of transactions. Mixero charges a modest 0.5% commission. This makes BTC Blender ideal for users clearing large amounts of bitcoin.Based on the experience of many users on the Internet, Mixero is one of the leading Bitcoin tumblers that has ever appeared. This scrambler supports not only Bitcoins, but also other above-mentioned cryptocurrencies. Exactly this platform allows a user to exchange the coins, in other words to send one type of coins and get them back in another type of coins. This process even increases user’s anonymity. Time-delay feature helps to make a transaction untraceable, as it can be set up to 24 hours. There is a transaction fee of 0.0005 for each extra address.Another trustworthy mixer is Mixero which supports two cryptocurrencies with Ethereum to be added soon. The mixing process is quite typical and similar to the processes on other tumblers. It is possible to set a time-delay option up to 72 hours and a sender has an opportunity to split the transaction, so the funds are sent to several addresses. Thus, sender’s funds are more secured and untraceable.Another solid Bitcoin Tumbler option, Mixero requires a minimum deposit of 0.01 BTC to be made but makes up for this with a lower transaction fee of 2% coupled with a 0.0004 BTC network fee. Support for multiple addresses and customer options is provided with users required to provide confirmation for only 1 address. While there is no referral program available, Mixero does offer users with a letter of guarantee for their peace of mind. Pros: Fast payouts Allows extra payout addresses
