The Importance of Consistent Wall Ball Practice
Wall ball is the cornerstone of lacrosse skill development. Many high school players underestimate its significance, often limiting their practice to a few times a week. However, to truly excel, daily wall ball sessions are essential.
Why is wall ball so crucial? It improves:
Stick skills
Hand-eye coordination
Muscle memory
Accuracy
To maximize the benefits of wall ball, consider the following tips:
Set a consistent daily schedule
Vary your drills
Practice both stationary and moving throws
Gradually increase complexity and speed
How often should you practice wall ball? Ideally, aim for 30 minutes to an hour every day, with one rest day per week to prevent burnout. Remember, every missed day is an opportunity for your competitors to gain an edge.
Developing Ambidextrous Skills: The Off-Hand Advantage
A common oversight among young lacrosse players is neglecting their non-dominant hand. Focusing solely on your strong hand creates a significant weakness in your game that skilled defenders can exploit.
How can you improve your off-hand skills?
Dedicate equal practice time to both hands
Start with basic catches and throws
Gradually incorporate more complex movements
Use your off-hand in game-like situations during practice
What level of proficiency should you aim for with your off-hand? At a minimum, you should be able to throw an accurate 20-yard pass. This versatility will make you a more formidable player and harder to defend against.
The Art of Shooting on the Move
Static shooting practice, while comfortable, doesn’t reflect real game situations. To truly elevate your game, focus on shooting while in motion. This skill is particularly crucial for midfielders and can significantly increase your value to college recruiters.
How can you incorporate movement into your shooting practice?
Practice shooting while running down the alley
Work on quick releases after dodging
Simulate game-like scenarios with defenders
Vary your shooting angles and distances
Why is shooting on the run so effective? It combines speed, accuracy, and unpredictability, making it challenging for both defenders and goalkeepers to anticipate and stop. Mastering this skill can turn you into an offensive powerhouse.
Diversifying Your Shot Selection
While the underhand shot has its place in lacrosse, relying on it exclusively is a common mistake. Overhand and three-quarter shots often provide better accuracy and power. College coaches, including Duke’s John Danowski, emphasize the importance of versatile shooting techniques.
What are the advantages of different shot types?
Overhand shots: Greater accuracy and power
Three-quarter shots: Balance between power and deception
Underhand shots: Useful for specific situations and angles
How can you improve your shot selection? Practice all types of shots and learn when to use each effectively. Remember, consistency in scoring is more valuable than occasionally executing a flashy shot.
Mastering Shot Direction Changes
One of the most effective ways to beat a goalkeeper is by changing your shot direction. Many high school players fall into the trap of shooting where they fake, making it easier for goalies to make saves.
How can you improve your shot direction changes?
Practice faking high and shooting low (and vice versa)
Work on quick stick fakes before shooting
Develop a repertoire of deceptive moves
Focus on reading the goalie’s positioning
Why is changing shot direction so crucial? It keeps goalkeepers guessing and increases your scoring opportunities, especially in close-range situations. This skill can significantly boost your shooting percentage and make you a more dangerous offensive threat.
Enhancing Team Clears: Supporting Your Goalkeeper
Effective clearing is a team effort, and supporting your goalkeeper during this phase is crucial. Many players make the mistake of not providing an outlet pass option, forcing the goalie to hold onto the ball longer than necessary.
How can you improve your team’s clearing efficiency?
Always be ready to receive a pass from your goalkeeper
Create passing lanes by moving to open spaces
Communicate clearly with your teammates
Practice quick transitions from defense to offense
Why is efficient clearing important? It minimizes the risk of turnovers in your defensive end and creates more offensive opportunities. By supporting your goalkeeper, you can help your team maintain possession and control the game’s pace.
Avoiding Ill-Advised Dodges: The Importance of Field Awareness
Attempting to dodge through double or triple teams is a common mistake that can cost your team possessions and goals. While aggression is valued in lacrosse, it must be tempered with smart decision-making and field awareness.
How can you improve your dodging decisions?
Develop peripheral vision to spot open teammates
Practice quick passes out of double teams
Work on change of direction moves to avoid defenders
Study film to recognize defensive formations
Why is smart dodging crucial? It maintains possession, creates scoring opportunities for your team, and prevents turnovers. By making intelligent decisions with the ball, you become a more valuable asset to your team and a more attractive prospect for college recruiters.
Advanced Techniques for Improving Lacrosse IQ
Developing a high lacrosse IQ is essential for taking your game to the next level. This involves understanding the nuances of the sport, reading the field effectively, and making split-second decisions that benefit your team.
How can you enhance your lacrosse IQ?
Study game film of professional and college players
Attend lacrosse camps and clinics
Seek feedback from coaches and experienced players
Practice situational drills that simulate game scenarios
Why is a high lacrosse IQ valuable? It allows you to anticipate plays, make better decisions on the field, and contribute more effectively to your team’s success. Players with strong game sense often stand out to college recruiters and coaches.
The Role of Conditioning in Preventing Late-Game Mistakes
Many of the mistakes high school lacrosse players make stem from fatigue, especially in the later stages of games. Proper conditioning is crucial for maintaining performance throughout all four quarters.
How can you improve your lacrosse-specific conditioning?
Incorporate interval training into your workouts
Practice game-like movements in your conditioning drills
Focus on both aerobic and anaerobic exercises
Maintain a consistent off-season training regimen
Why is conditioning so important in lacrosse? It helps prevent late-game mistakes, improves your ability to execute skills under pressure, and allows you to maintain a high level of play throughout the entire game.
Developing Mental Toughness for Consistent Performance
Lacrosse is as much a mental game as it is physical. Many high school players struggle with maintaining focus and composure, especially in high-pressure situations.
How can you develop mental toughness in lacrosse?
Practice visualization techniques
Set specific, achievable goals for each practice and game
Learn and apply stress-management techniques
Develop a pre-game routine to center your focus
Why is mental toughness crucial in lacrosse? It helps you perform consistently, bounce back from mistakes, and maintain confidence in challenging situations. Mental resilience is often what separates good players from great ones.
The Importance of Team Chemistry and Communication
Individual skills are important, but lacrosse is ultimately a team sport. Many high school players underestimate the value of strong team chemistry and effective on-field communication.
How can you contribute to better team chemistry?
Participate in team-building activities off the field
Practice clear, concise on-field communication
Support your teammates, both in successes and failures
Learn to trust your teammates and play unselfishly
Why is team chemistry important in lacrosse? It leads to better coordination on the field, improved morale, and often results in a team that performs better than the sum of its individual parts. Strong team dynamics can often overcome skill disparities in competitive situations.
Utilizing Technology for Skill Analysis and Improvement
In the modern era, technology offers numerous tools for analyzing and improving lacrosse skills. Many high school players fail to take advantage of these resources.
How can technology enhance your lacrosse training?
Use slow-motion video analysis to refine your technique
Track your performance metrics with specialized apps
Utilize virtual reality training for decision-making skills
Engage with online communities for tips and advice
Why is technology valuable in lacrosse training? It provides objective feedback, allows for detailed analysis of your play, and can help identify areas for improvement that might not be apparent during regular practice sessions.
Balancing Lacrosse with Academics and Personal Development
While dedication to lacrosse is important, neglecting academics and personal growth is a critical mistake many high school players make. Maintaining a well-rounded profile is crucial, especially for those aspiring to play at the collegiate level.
How can you balance lacrosse with other aspects of your life?
Create a structured schedule that includes study time
Prioritize tasks and manage your time effectively
Seek support from coaches, teachers, and family when needed
Engage in activities outside of lacrosse to develop a diverse skill set
Why is balance important for a lacrosse player? It ensures long-term success both on and off the field, makes you a more attractive prospect for college admissions, and contributes to your overall personal development.
Embracing Constructive Criticism and Continuous Learning
A common mistake among high school lacrosse players is resistance to feedback or a belief that they’ve mastered certain aspects of the game. Embracing constructive criticism and maintaining a growth mindset are crucial for continuous improvement.
How can you become more receptive to feedback and learning?
Actively seek input from coaches and more experienced players
View mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures
Set personal goals for improvement in specific areas of your game
Stay updated on new techniques and strategies in lacrosse
Why is a learning mindset important in lacrosse? It allows for continuous improvement, helps you adapt to new situations and opponents, and demonstrates maturity and coachability – qualities highly valued by college recruiters and coaches.
10 Mistakes High School Lacrosse Players Make
Pine Creek vs Thunder Ridge Varsity Game
1. Not Doing Enough Wall Ball
The best way to improve your game, at any level of lacrosse, is to do your wall ball! The great thing about lacrosse is you only need a stick, a ball, and a wall to train. Some kids think they can get away with doing wall ball 2-3 times a week; however, to be an elite player, you need to be doing it everyday! Have a set time you do your wall ball. If you’re worried about burning out, take one day off per week. For example, make Friday your day off so you can relax after a long week of classes. Save Friday nights for going out with friends or on a date. But just remember, everyday you don’t do wall ball, there is someone out there that is going out and putting the extra work in.
2. Doing Wall Ball, But Not Working Off Hand
A common mistake young players make while doing wall ball is to just work their dominant hand. Here’s the deal: you must work your off hand! Imagine that since you’re right handed you only do bicep curls with your right arm, but ignore doing them with your left. Now do that for 6 months, and you’ll look pretty silly. You are doing the same thing by not working your off hand! The problem with being reliant on a single hand is you will eventually run into a defenseman who forces you to your off hand. If you work your off hand, you will be fine, but if you’ve neglected it, it’s all over but the crying. The best players at all levels can use both hands. I’m not saying you have to be a god with your offhand, but you must be competent (throw an accurate 20 yard pass) at a minimum.
3. Not Moving and Shooting
I’ve noticed that when youth players practice shooting, they stand in one spot and stay there the whole time. Ask yourself this: Are you ever going to get in a situation where you can stand 6 yards from the net and calmly shoot it top left corner? The answer is no. This is most important for you midfielders! If you have a good shot on the run, especially when on a fast break, college coaches will notice you. This is the best way to become an unstoppable offensive threat. Nothing is worse for a defenseman than a guy who can sprint down the alley and shoot it opposite side of the goalie. It is extremely hard to stop those guys; therefore, being one of those guys makes you stand out for coaches. Make sure you practice shooting on the run.
4. Shooting Underhand Every Time
There’s always one kid on a high school team that thinks shooting underhand is the only way to go. Let me tell you: it’s not. Yes, there is a time for the underhand shot, but it is not as good as a simple overhand or ¾ shot. The overhand shot is more accurate and has more power. If you watch college tape, you’ll notice Duke players shoot overhand most of the time. If Coach Danowski thinks it’s the best shot to use, chances are it is. It’s better to score 10 overhand goals than have 1 super cool low-to-high underhand shot. Coaches don’t care if you can score super sick goals if you can’t do it consistently. Therefore, overhand gives you the best bang for your buck.
5. Not Changing Shot Direction
Admittedly, I had this problem in high school. It was a huge factor in my decision to switch to defense—which worked out. But to be an elite shooter, you must be able to change shot direction. If you fake high, you must shoot low. If you fake low, you must fake high. The worst is when someone fakes left, and then shoots left. When you fake somewhere and shoot there as well, you are shooting exactly where you just made the goalie move. Not changing shot direction is the biggest culprit for why guys don’t score on the crease. So remember, when you fake somewhere, shoot anywhere else on net.
6. Not Moving Back to Goalies on Clears
This one comes down to sheer laziness or being too scared to make a play. If you are a part of the clear and look back to see your goalie still holding onto the ball, you must be the guy to run back to be an outlet. You get 20 seconds to clear the ball in college and wasting 10 seconds by making your goaltender stand there with the ball adds up. Imagine if you wasted 10 seconds on a clear by not helping your goaltender. Then, with 5 seconds in the game you have the ball and need to score one goal to tie the game. If you had gone back to your goaltender earlier on that clear, you would have 15 seconds instead of 5. I understand you get tired after a long defensive stand, but you must be the guy to get open for your goalie so the ball gets down the field. Don’t make your goaltender do all the work.
7. Attempting to Dodge Through Doubles/Triples
If there’s one player that makes me want to rip my hair out, it’s this guy. Please know that if you constantly attempt to dodge through doubles/triples, you are costing your team games. There is a difference between being aggressive with the ball and acting a fool. I had a guy on my high school team senior year that always did this. One game he turned the ball over 14 times in the first half. He was averaging 28 turnovers for the whole game. Do not be that guy.
If you are dodging and get doubled, know that a teammate should be open. It’s simple mathematics. If they have 6 and you have 6, and 2 of them cover you, it is now a 5 v 4 for the rest of the field. This is why you want to draw the slide. Yet, when you constantly attempt to charge through the double, you hurt your team by not passing to the open man. If you have this habit, you need to break it quick. You may get away with it in high school because you are paying to play, but guys that do this at the college level won’t be at the college level for long.
8. Holding onto Ball too Long
In lacrosse, using your time efficiently is everything. Therefore, you must get the ball out of your stick quickly. Consider which offense you would rather play against: one offense passes it to the open player and he holds it for six seconds looking around before jogging down the alley, eventually passing it back. The other offense gets the ball out of their stick every 2-3 seconds, constantly cutting through the crease and setting picks. Any defenseman would rather play the first offense. An offense that moves the ball out of their stick fast is tough to play, and you get tired fast. A great offense to watch is Denver’s. You’ll notice they get the ball out of their sticks every 2-3 seconds and are constantly moving. That is what you need to strive for.
9. Trail Checks
A lot of d poles make the mistake of depending on the trail check. I cannot stand this check. Next time, instead of doing a trail check when beat, you need to sprint to at least get even with your man, then disrupt his play anyway possible (get your stick in front of him, lean into him with your hip). It is better to race him back to a good spot than to attempt a trail check that probably won’t work. A trail check is you admitting your guy beat you and the game is over. It’s a last-ditch effort. Sort of like Pickett’s Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg.
The worst trail check is when your guy hasn’t beat you but is hanging his stick. Then the defender goes for the takeaway with the trail check, only for his man to pull his stick back in and race around the d pole for any easy goal. You simply cannot do this. You must be patient. If you attempt this move, you are surrendering whatever positioning you have left. Yes, you’ll feel cool if it actually works, but the odds of you being successful with this move against a top tier player is slim to none. Much better to never make this risky move and force your guy to pass the ball, than to try and be a reckless hero.
10. Not Working the 2 Slide or 3 Slide
This one is for all my defensemen. If you are newer to the game, here is a quick run down on how these slides work. The standard slide is the man who slides to the man with the ball once he beats his defender. The second man then covers the man who the slider was covering. The third man then covers the man who the second slider was covering. That is how a 2 and 3 slide work. I’ve noticed that many young defensemen do not go through with their 2 or 3 slide and assume the game is up once the initial slide happens. It is not. In fact, the best defensemen are not the ones who can occasionally force a good turnover. The best defensemen are the ones who are always in the right place and never give up their position, making it tough for the offense to score. Being able to go through with the 2/3 slides is critical to becoming an elite defenseman that top schools will look to recruit.
5 Lacrosse Shooting Drills for Rapid Improvement – LaxWeekly
Shooting is one of the most important skills in all of lacrosse. If you can shoot the ball well, you will score more goals and get more playing time. Today I want to go over my favorite shooting drills that will help you with your shooting form, shot speed and muscle memory. If you can incorporate these drills into your lacrosse routine, you will become a much better shooter. Let’s get into it!
Quick Shots – This is one of my favorite drills that you can do by yourself or with a partner. Get a bucket of lacrosse balls and place them about 5 yards above the goal. If you’re by yourself, scoop up a lacrosse ball from the pile as quickly as possible and turn around and shoot. If you’re with a partner, have the partner feed you the balls as quickly as possible. Your goal should be to shoot all of the balls as fast as possible, almost like you’d be playing “hot potato.”
This drill will help you develop comfort with shooting and forces you to quickly get rid of the ball instead of holding onto it for too long. Repeat this 2 or 3 times for a great warmup or standalone shooting workout.
Over the Cage – If you have access to two lacrosse goals, this is one of the most effective drills you can do. Place two lacrosse goals in front of each other about 3 feet apart. Now try to shoot a ball into the back goal by shooting over the front goal. By doing this, you are forcing yourself to shoot overhand, instead of sidearm or underhand. Shooting overhand is the most effective shooting form, and doing this drill creates muscle memory.
Pick a Corner – This is my favorite lacrosse drill to help with shooting accuracy. Start by shooting the ball from a spot you normally would on the field. That means if you’re an attackman, shoot a shot from about 5 yards away from the goal. If you’re a midfielder, shoot a shot on the run down the alley further out. But this time, pick ONE corner that you’re aiming for every single time. For example, only shoot for the bottom right corner.
By picking one corner, you can actually see if you are shooting the ball accurately. Many lacrosse players practice shooting with no specific target in mind. This is a bad idea because you don’t actually know if you are shooting at the spot you aimed at. Once you feel like you mastered one corner, pick another corner and do the same thing. Your ultimate goal should be to hit any corner you want.
Slow Reps – Like most things in life, it’s better to start off slow and steady instead of rushing into things. The same goes with lacrosse shooting. I see beginners try to shoot as hard as possible with no regard for form, and this will only make your shot form worse.
Every shooting session, start by practicing your shot form in slow motion. Get your hands far back, step through and shoot in a fluid motion. Over time you can build it up until you’re actually shooting full speed. Slow reps make you focus on form instead of power, and I would recommend every lacrosse player give them a try.
Eyes Up, Shoot Down – I saved the most complex drill for last. For this drill, set up a pile of lacrosse balls at the island, or about 5 yards up and 5 yards out from the goal. When shooting, pretend you’re looking right into the goalie’s eyes, or in the top middle of the goal. While not looking down, shoot the ball into a bottom corner of the goal. Repeat until you can pick a bottom corner of the goal without looking.
Most goalies are taught to focus on a shooter’s eyes, so if you’re looking at the top of the goal and shooting there, it will be easy to save your shot. If you can look to the top and shoot to the bottom, you will score more goals and be a deceptive shooter.
These are my all-time favorite lacrosse drills. Please let me know down in the comments what your favorite drills are and any questions you might have. Happy laxing!
What Does Bar Down Mean in Lacrosse? – Lacrosse Pack
There is a ton of lacrosse lingo out there that fly over the heads of people that are unfamiliar with the sport. If you have ever been in close proximity to a lacrosse team for an extended period of time, you probably heard the term ‘bar down’ thrown around once or twice.
Bar down is a slang lacrosse phrase to describe a shot that pings off of the bottom of the top cross bar and ricochets on a steep angle toward the ground into the goal. Players marvel at a successful bar down shot because there is a large margin for error associated with this kind of a shot attempt.
There is no doubt that a perfectly executed bar down shot is a feat to be commended on the lacrosse field. Now that you know the basic gist of what a bar down shot is, you probably want to see it in action! Stick around until the end to see live examples of bar down shots along with the do’s and don’ts behind how to shoot a successful bar down shot.
The Meaning Behind Bar Down in Lacrosse
If you think about it, bar down is a rather self explanatory term. It refers to the ball hitting the top cross bar and angling down toward the ground. When you learn it like that, it is not that challenging of a concept to grasp.
The bar down shot is an extremely high difficulty shot in lacrosse. This is because shooters have to nick the top crossbar in one precise location in order to get the ball to angle sharply downward.
Even if the shot is just an inch off, the ball will not go bar down. If the shot is an inch too high, the ball will hit the crossbar square on and ricochet back in front of the goal. If the shot is an inch too low, the ball will not even hit the cross bar at all. The shot needs to hit the little section right underneath the top beam in order for this shot to work.
To put it simply, most lacrosse players that flawlessly execute a bar down shot do so because of pure luck. They may be aiming in the general area of the crossbar, but it is nearly impossible to hit the bar down shot consistently.
For this reason, the bar down shot is a rare occasion on the lacrosse field, particularly during games. Not only does a shooter have to strike that teeny tiny section of pipe, they also have to generate enough velocity behind their shot to sneak the ball past the goalkeeper.
Many goalkeepers have an easy time of making saves on shots that are aimed high. This is because their goalie stick already lies in that position naturally. They barely have to move their stick at all to make the save on these kinds of shots. Unfortunately, it is necessary to shoot high to go bar down.
For the most part, players are only able to hit this high difficulty shot during a team practice or a casual shoot around when the stakes are not so high. Attempting to go bar down is ill-advised in serious game situations because it has such a high likelihood of failure.
Some lacrosse coaches are so against the concept that they will bench players that even attempt to go bar down. Needless to say, that is something that most lacrosse players want to avoid.
Still, you can always count on at least one or two players to go for the ooh’s and the aah’s that accompany the bar down shot. You can bet that they miss 99 out of 100 shot attempts. But boy oh boy, does that 100th shot look pretty!
Model Examples of Bar Down Shots
As promised, I included a couple of bar down shots to illustrate for you guys what this lacrosse gem really looks like. Without further ado, enjoy the following videos of Greg from East Coast Dyes tearing up the cross bar!
The phrase bar down originally transitioned over to the game of lacrosse from hockey. In fact, bar down means literally the exact same thing in hockey as it does in lacrosse.
There are many parallels between hockey and lacrosse. One glaring similarity between the two sports is that they both shoot on nets.
Just like lacrosse players, hockey players praise bar down shots for their high degree of difficulty. It is the most sought after goal in the sport. Every hockey player wants to be able to showcase a bar down shot in their highlight tape.
Due to the ever growing popularity of lacrosse, there has been a large influx of hockey players that shifted over to the sport in recent years. Consequently, lacrosse lingo eventually began to adopt some hockey slang as well. This specific slang phrase spread throughout the lacrosse community like wildfire. Now, it is virtually a universal lacrosse term.
How to Shoot a Ball Bar Down
With all of the hype surrounding bar down shots, it is no wonder why everyone wants to learn how to do it. As aforementioned, most of shooting a ball bar down is sheer luck. However, perfectly executing the combination of power and accuracy to accomplish such a difficult feat does require some practice.
I compiled some of the most helpful tips that will help you to shoot bar down on at a higher clip. Of course, these tips will by no means guarantee that you will shoot bar down, but they will give you a fighting chance.
*As a side note, beware that even just attempting this shot might earn you a spot on the bench for the rest of the game. So if you are treading on thin ice with the coach, I would stay away!
Shoot Sidearm or Underhand
If your sole goal is to shoot bar down, then a sidearm or underhand shot is your best bet. Since the release point is originating from below the top pipe, this provides you with a much better shooting angle to hit the sweet spot on the cross bar.
The overhand shot releases on the same plane as the top pipe. As a result, the shooting angle is far too severe to strike the cross bar on its underside. It is much more likely that the ball will hit the cross beam square on.
To successfully hit a bar down shot, you need everything working in your favor. This includes maximizing the shooting angle, even by the slightest of degrees.
Maintaining control over sidearm and underhand shots is a much more troublesome undertaking relative to the overhand shot. At first, it will be immensely frustrating to shoot the ball in the same general area as where you are aiming. Do not get discouraged. Shooting sidearm and underhand accurately takes time and patience. In order to become a precise outside shooter, you need to push past these growing pains.
Incorporate Your Whole Body into the Shooting Motion
Another tip is to utilize every muscle in your entire body to drive the ball underneath the crossbar.
A cue that I personally like to use is turning my back toward the goal prior to the shot. This way, my body is forced to violently rotate toward the goal. Not only will this add speed and velocity to your shot to slip the ball past the goalkeeper, it will also instill solid shot mechanics in the long term.
Shooting with precision is all about muscle memory. The only way to become a feared shooter on the lacrosse field is to perform repetition after repetition. When you finally step on to the field for a game, shooting should feel like second nature.
The best way to ensure that you are utilizing your body efficiently during the shooting motion is to record your shot technique. With this method, you can review your shooting fundamentals from a third party lens. It may help you identify shooting flaws that you never realized before.
This will not only help you to shoot bar down, but will help to shoot more accurately in general.
Snap Your Wrists Toward the Crossbar
Many lacrosse players overlook the important role that their wrists play in the their overall shot precision.
The majority of shooters believe that accuracy stems from their arms. Although this may be true to some extent, the wrists are what really accentuate the shot trajectory.
For instance, players that snap their wrists too early during an underhand shot release will find that the ball will land slightly lower than the cross bar. On the other hand, snapping the wrists late will result in the ball sailing over the top pipe out of bounds.
Mastering the art of the wrist snap is challenging because every shooter has a slightly different lacrosse stick and slightly different shooting release. The only real way for you to lock down the wrist snapping technique is trial and error. Experimentation requires time and effort from on the part of the player, which is why so many shooters never reach the next level.
To shoot bar down, you need to put in the hours of practice to maximize your chances. Otherwise, you will only ever be able to nail a bar down shot once in a blue moon, just like every other average lacrosse player out there. Strive to be in the top percentile and you will be shooting bar down in no time!
PLPA: Professional Lacrosse Players Association
Derek Malawsky of the Buffalo Bandits, shares his expertise with the fans.
Hi there my name is Derek Malawsky of the Buffalo Bandits! What I’m going to share with you today are a few tips of the trade. Over my 20 years of lacrosse experience I have learned a few different methods to shooting the ball. I will begin to explain the different shots and techniques that can be taken and when they can be most effective for you. You always can practice on your shooting!
SHOOTING
What you need to always remember when taking a shot is that you have to have the correct grip of the stick. Either if you are left or right your bottom hand is the stabilizer with your top hand being 2/3rds of the way up the stick is the guide to where you want the ball to go.The key to getting power into your shot is in your arms as well as in your legs. So in saying that, your foot work needs to be in sync with your arms. The back foot is the foot you want to be shooting off, as well as getting your velocity from that back leg and then follow through onto your front foot.The timing between you legs and arms is crucial to a good shot.
Now you have the primary techniques of taking a shot – next we will add those techniques into various types of shots that can be very effective in different situations.
OVERHAND SHOT
An overhand shot is the most basic shot in lacrosse and it was probably the first shot that you learned.This shot can be very deceiving for the goalies at times because it is hard for them to get a read on where exactly your aiming. I feel that this shot is your most accurate shot for picking the corners. Also when you want to one time a shot this would be the easiest method in getting a quick release.
SIDEARM SHOT
A sidearm shot is used by a lot of the players nowadays. It is also an accurate shot as well as a high velocity shot. I use this shot quite often in many occasions. An outside shot needs to have a little more zip on it so this is a good time to let it fly side arm. The side arm shot is a great way to shoot around a pick because you are in motion and it is easier to get a lot more torque into your shot. So a hard side arm bounce shot is a fantastic shot in this situation.
UNDERHAND SHOT
An underhand (sub) shot is not used as often as the others but I believe it can catch the goalie unexpectedly. Those are the best times to take a shot on a goalie when he least expects it. The raised sub shot is dynamite if done correctly. You want the goalie to think that you are shooting low at his feet, so you wind up your underhand shot and you make the goalie begin to drop to his knees and you raise it to the upper portion of the goalie. This is a very difficult shot but once you get it down it is a great shot to have in your repertoire.
BACK HAND SHOT
A backhand shot is a tricky shot and it can catch the goalie off guard too. A great time to use this one is when you are on the opposite side of the floor and you don’t have much of an angle to shoot at or when you are cutting across the front of the net and once you get the goalie stepping you then drop it over your shoulder short side. Lots of practice on this shot and you could pick up that extra goal per game.
One last piece of advice – When I was learning how to take these shots I was told to concentrate on a variety of shots in order to always keep the goalies guessing because shooting can be as unpredictable as you want it to be!!

Welcome to “A Lacrosse Weekend” my weekly compilation of thoughts, ideas, stories, myths, truths, about the great game of lacrosse. I hope you enjoy it!
Premier Lacrosse League
It has been SO GREAT to have PLL on TV every night! I think I’ve watched every game and I have some thoughts I want to share with you.
I’m rooting for the Chaos and Head Coach Andy Towers, but they haven’t gotten into synch offensively and are surprisingly struggling at the face off X
The nice thing about this tournament is all you have to do is get hot at the right time!
The Whipsnakes look better than ever with the addition of Zed Williams.
Kyle Bernlohr and Blaze Riorden have been insane! Wow!
Refs are letting too much physicality, slashing, holding and interference occur and I think it hurts the product. I’d rather see a goal than a hold any day!
Grant Ament is the real deal in every way! He’s a text book on what I believe in and it’s not just his straight speed, it’s the way he slows down and uses deception constantly.
Zed Williams is a beast with box skills and he’s just getting going! What a handful to be partnered with another handful named Rambo!
John Haus is the most underrated player in the league.
I can never remember which McIntosh is which, but both Jordan and Ben are such smart, skilled righty goal scorers!
The players that dodge slower and under control with fakes, hesitations and rollbacks are having more success than the pure speed dodgers.
I like watching Jack Rowlett play defense…. So tough and athletic!
It’s good to see the Rattlers, I mean the Chrome winning again! They needed Sudo!
Costabile is a freak. I can’t believe how well he defends! I plan on doing a full breakdown and film study on his on ball defense.
Interesting PLL Videos
This morning I went through bunch of games and pulled out some clips that I thought were interesting that I wanted to share with you! I hope you enjoy the clips, the insights and the detail I try an provide!
Austin Staats’s 1 Hand Pass
This is one of the most interesting plays I’ve seen so far in these PLL games. First of all, the way Staats uses a subtle Double Hitch to set up his split is vintage box lacrosse. The next thing that is so interesting is the way he fakes a one hand shot to set up the feed. One Hand Feeds can be relatively easy to see coming by collapsing defenders, which is why Staats Hitches with one hand. Watch the goalie react to the fake and watch the backside defenders who could have been there, show up on the scene a little late. Finally the handle and finish by Miles Thompson was so cool! This is the second time I’ve seen Miles shoot a BTB screen shot around the head of the collapsing defender.
Zed’s Underhand Twister
All Canadians shoot Twisters or Curve Balls to create misdirection and deception of their shot. If you’re wondering how it works, think of your Sidearm shot where the swing angle sells far side and that when you pull it nearside it often times gets the goalie stepping to the wrong side. Watch Chrome’s Jordan McIntosh deceive a goalie on a sidearm pull shot.
Overhand Twisters, also called Curveball’s deceive goalies with an inside out swing angle isas opposed to the side arm outside in swing angle. Check out Cockerton’s Curveball below.
In box lacrosse you will see Underhand Twisters executed more often than in field lacrosse, in fact, this may be the first one I’ve seen! Notice how Zed’s swing angle is inside out and gives the goalie the feeling of nearside as he releases it far side. If you watch the Atlas goalie closely, you will see him reading the shot as nearside low.
Zed Draws a Quintuple
When Zed swam a slide and literally drew five players, all I could think of was the line from Pulp Fiction below:
Somehow, Zed was able to get a shot off with literally five guys on him! The shot was retrieved at X by Matt Rambo who then just kind of ran it in for goal while everyone was recovering back to their match ups. Just like coach Stags drew it up!
Canadian / Native Box Shooters vs American Field Shooters
I’ve written about this before. Over the past 10 plus years in NCAA lacrosse, Box players have shot 34% while Americans have shot at 28%. This is over a 20% difference year after year. Americans are taught the mechanics of shooting with accuracy and getting shots off quickly whereas box players learn how to shoot in the context of defenders and goalies that have to be manipulated. Watch Zed execute a beautiful Mulit Hitch shot that makes the defenders get out of the way and simultaneously freeze the goalie!
We knew how good of a competitor Rowlett was four years ago when he was a big part of the UNC National Championship run! He was a best as a freshman!
Watch the way Jack Rowlett plays defense on Zed in the video below. He knows Zed is a strong Righty and doesn’t want to give up too much angle for a right handed shot or a BTB shot so he uses a Reverse V Hold technique, which we are seeing a lot of these days in college and Pro lacrosse. Remember, Zed is very strong and for Rowlett to have stopped Williams in his tracks with that Reverse V Hold was kind of crazy! Then, just as Zed pivots to shoot underhand righty, Rowlett is able to chop down right on right and disrupt the play.
If Zed bounces, fakes, and or hesitates, it will be much tougher for 99 to make that play!
Easy As Possible
The best dodgers in the PLL don’t necessarily break ankles and blow by their man with massive separation. In fact, the best players barely beat their man, which makes it very difficult to slide to! Watch the series of videos below illustrating the use of fakes, hesitations, and hitches to get great shots off and to hold off sliders.
I love the way Jesse King uses hesitations down the wing to his weak hand to set up his strong hand roll back. I really love the subtle hitch coming out of his rollback that draws the check and opens the window for his shot!
McIntosh makes it look pretty easy here. Many times when dodgers operate in a grey area in terms of where the defense wants to pressure or not and the wings are particularly good for making it hard on a defender to know where he is. Here McIntosh jogs along in that greay area. He knows he’s going to be in shooting range, and uses a little underhand hitch to draw a cross check, opening the window for his shot!
Watch Chrome McIntosh operating on the corner. As he’s coming topside he gives a sequence of moves to get his hands free that are all kind of the same move of selling underneath in order to get topside / strong hand. Each time he sold his underneath a little more until he had his shot!
A Dead Shoulder Rocker
A 3 Step Rollback
A 5 step Rollback and shot
Here, Rambo knows when he gets a short stick and he initiates contact, it’s a signal to the defense to slide. He also knows that when he initiates contact its virtually impossible for the on ball defender to stop his spin move roll back. This is smart dodging that creates great offense!
Hesitation Moves
Grant Ament is super fast and his change of direction is excellent. That said, for Grant Ament of anyone else, the use of Hesitations is what actually gets the job done. Watch the video below and you will see a perfect example.
Right to Right V Cut
Rollback
Hezzi
The Very Rare Backup Pick
Watch this video closely and you will see Atlas attackman Erik Law spring Ryan Brown wide open with a Backup Pick. In this Hang up situation, the defense is usually content to wait it out, cover their men in front and switch picks. The reason why Back up Picks work so well is because the defender guarding the picker doesn’t recognize a pick is being set and therefore doesn’t switch. Erik Law has been doing this for years and learned from DU Offensive Coordinator Matt Brown who used to set back up picks when I coached him at DU in the early 2000’s.
I’m so happy for BJ Grill! He’s proving to the world that if you give him a chance, despite always being in a size mismatch, that he can the job done! BJ did an unbelievable job on Jordan Wolf who is arguably the toughest cover in the league. Watch here how he gets under the pick and turns Wolf at the island setting up a great double team opportunity by the shorty!
Here watch Grill get under a pick and D up Wolf on the Island! This is a play that not many defenders in the PLL have the quickness to do!
I have gotten to know BJ over the past few years and as good of a player as he is, he is an even better person! And what a coach!
JM3 Athlete Program
In two weeks from today, I will be opening up a registration window for six boys and girls players to sign up for the JM3 Athlete Program. In this program I work with athletes and families and put them on a trajectory of development and exposure that they would otherwise never know. I have created a new model of player development that is so effective and such a breath of fresh air you may not believe it!
This program is not cheap, but it has been wildly effective at helping players and families achieve their goals and follow their dreams.
If you want to learn more, please take the time to read A Lacrosse Life, an in depth bio, which explains how my philosophies have evolved through my experiences as a coach at all levels, an entrepreneur, and a dad of three lax players, two girls and a boy.
If you’re interested, email me at [email protected]. I will be happy to provide references of current and former clients.
Here’s a video of the content I use for my JM3 Athletes
Girls Lacrosse Player Development
I am a proud girl dad and because of that I’ve put a ton of time into understanding women’s lacrosse and trying to find the best ways to help girls develop into high level players! I coach girls HS lacrosse and I have worked with a ton of girls in my JM3 Athlete Program with exceptional success on the field, in recruiting, and in a love of the game!
Check out this testimonial from the dad of one of my players. If you think this would be the kind of program you would like for your daughter, feel free to email me at [email protected] . The JM3 Athlete Program is not for everyone and it is not cheap, but the results have been incredible!
Another element of the JM3 Athlete Program for girls that is incredibly exciting is the girls truly learn the game at a new level. A club coach was telling me yesterday that he over heard one of my JM3 Athletes explaining to teammates at a club practice off ball motions that involved her sealing her own man for her teammate to Curl over the top. This type of knowledge and understanding is rare in men’s and women’s lacrosse! This is the type of IQ that provides a huge advantage both on the field and in a coaches office during an interview!
JM3 Girls Lacrosse Academy
In the video testimonial above, this dad references the online content in the JM3 program. This is the most comprehensive development model you will find anywhere! Check out this video walk through.
The Gait Stick
Make no mistake, the Flex Mesh pocket will change the game of women’s lacrosse. The pocket expands with centrifugal force aka cradling and has created the best hold of any women’s stick that still throws great!
My daughters play with these sticks and call them, “The best stick they have ever had!” Check out the descriptions below:

Lacrosse Shooting Tips to Improve Accuracy
(Source): If your child plays golf, tennis, baseball or softball, he uses some of the same fundamentals needed for making lacrosse shots. Breaking down the lacrosse shooting skill into easy-to-follow parts before putting the whole skill together will help your child improve in each area and develop the best combination of speed and accuracy.
1. Use the graduated length method
When teaching youngsters any new sport skill, it’s a good idea to start close to the net, goal or basket and move farther back as they learn to control a shot. Begin your shooting lessons near the goal so that their initial shots go into the net, giving them success and preventing you from having to chase balls after misses.
2. Experiment with hand placement
Lacrosse players spread their hands apart for catching, but this isn’t good for shooting because you can’t accelerate the stick. Placing both hands together at the bottom of the stick increases stick speed, but creates a loss of control. Have your child experiment with different hand placements to learn where he gets the best combination of placement and control.
Many lacrosse players put one hand near the bottom of the stick and one toward the middle. You can measure where to place the higher hand by holding the stick one-handed with the higher hand. Straighten the arm and the butt of the stick should rest in the middle of your elbow. Put the second hand toward the bottom, then have your player decide if she wants to move the top hand up or down a bit.
Practice catching balls with hands far apart, with the upper hand near the pocket, then quickly sliding the hands closer together to the shooting position. Once you have your hand placement decided, teach your players to keep their elbows away from their body to start swings.
3. Practice different backswings
The farther back you take a golf club, baseball bat, tennis racquet or lacrosse stick, the more acceleration and speed you can generate on the forward swing. You won’t need as much speed if you’re closer to the goal, where accuracy is a premium. Practice longer and shorter backswings so your child sees the difference in the results. You can take long swings when you’re close to the opponent’s goal if you have time, but if you’re being rushed, a short, quick swing might be all you have time for.
4. Accelerate the hips
For golf, tennis, baseball and lacrosse swings, the movement starts in the lower legs, with the thighs, hips and torso accelerating the smaller arms. Trying to shoot only with the arms decreases most of a player’s potential power and stick speed. To generate a more whip-like motion, have your child practice opening the hips slightly before the upper body and arms. This will help collapse the elbows in somewhat and speed up the arms.
5. Practice footwork
Teach your player to plant the front foot to get weight on the front leg before moving the hips forward. The toe of the back foot should be pointing at the ground with the heel up after a shot, or the back foot might even whip around in front of the front leg if the hip accelerates fast enough. If you shoot without this type of dynamic balance (flat-footed or off your back foot), you won’t be able to use as much lower body and core to accelerate the upper body arms. Shooting off the back foot results in a weaker, arms-only shot.
Have your child also practice “baby steps” or adjusting steps to the left, right, backward and forward, which she will have to do when in traffic. After making a few adjusting steps to the left, right or backward, your player will need to take the last step forward to accelerate the hips properly.
6. Practice off both sides
If a child can only shoot from one side, defenders will pick up on that and have an advantage trying to block shots. Teach your child to shoot off both sides. Don’t forget to start with the correct footwork for left- and right-handed shooting.
7. Teach overhand, sidearm & underhand techniques
Lacrosse players will need all three of these shooting techniques to help them make shots after picking up ground balls, catching balls at different heights and to avoid defenders.
8. Practice with different sticks
Even if your child knows his stick size, practicing with different length sticks forces him to practice different levels of control and power.
9. Practice on the run
Once your child has developed her fundamentals of hand placement, backswing, footwork and hip acceleration, have her practice these skill while running. Start slowly at first, at a jog, and then raise the speed as she gains control. Practice catching on the run and quickly shooting while still moving.

The atmosphere in the dressing room was tense, the air seemed to be electrified by the overwhelming adrenaline.These minutes before the coach says his parting words and we finally enter the field are terrible and at the same time they are the best. Any outcome seems possible: victory and defeat, pride and shame, triumph and disappointment. At this time, the team spirit is strongest and the motivation is higher.
Outside, one can hear the chants of classmates, as well as of the enemy’s fans. It’s hard to believe now that just five years ago no one was interested in lacrosse at Maxton Hall. It was then a sport for losers.Those who did not excel in rugby or football were sent to the lacrosse team, so it was very weak. A crowd of skinny teenagers with pimply faces and long limbs that they didn’t know what to do with.
I thought then: it would be fun to sign up there. First of all, I hoped to bring my father to white heat. And I never expected that I might like it. Or that within a few weeks, out of vanity, you will want to do something from this team. I convinced my friends to join us, thoroughly intimidated the rector of Lexington with the wrath of his parents if he did not get us a good coach, and ordered the development of a sports uniform from our best designer.
For the first time in my life, I was so passionate. And my efforts paid off. Now, five years later, after many hours of weekly training, blood, sweat, tears, broken bones and three championships won, we are finally worthy of the front sign of our fucking school.
We went out of our way to achieve all this. And I am filled with pride whenever I see the determined faces of the team before the game.
This is how it is now.
True, today another feeling resonates within.Dark and painful, which made it difficult for me to put protective gear on my head for the first time in all these years.
This will be the first game of my last school year.
When the season is over, it will be over for me too. Lacrosse is just going to be part of a slow countdown that I can’t stop. No matter how hard I try, it’s all in vain.
– So what? Ren pushed his shoulder.
I barely dropped my thoughts. There is still time – there is a whole year ahead, during which I can do what I want.With a strained smile, I turned to him:
– We’ll show them, those Eastview assholes.
– Chur, McCormack is mine, – Alistair reacted quickly, as if he was just waiting for a prearranged signal. – I have to get even with him.
– Alistair, – began Kesh. He was rubbing the bridge of his nose, in the very spot that had been broken last year. – Fuck him. – Alistair’s intonation and meaningful look left no doubt that it was not the first time they had spoken about this.
“No,” he replied succinctly.
McCormack, who, unfortunately, had the same name as me, deliberately punched Kesha in the face with the stick last game as soon as he took off his helmet. I still remember the shock when Kesh fell to the ground. His nose was bleeding onto his tights. And I remember those minutes when he lay unconscious in front of us.
Although McCormack was suspended for the next three games, the thought of his friend’s shattered face raised anger in me – just as, obviously, Alistair, who was still looking resolutely at Kesh.
“Just don’t do anything rash,” Kesh said, pulling on his blue tights.Then he tied his hair in a high, casual bun and closed the cabinet.
“You know him,” Ren said, leaning his elbows on the locker room with a grin.
– I don’t care if I get banned from the game for the rest of the season. McCormack will be responsible for everything. – Alistair patted Kesh on the shoulder.
– Say thank you that I will stand up for your honor.
Before he could remove his hand, Kesh grabbed it and held it for a moment:
– I’m telling you seriously.
Alistair narrowed his amber eyes:
– Me too.
They stared at each other for too long, and the atmosphere intensified even more. But time intervened.
“Save your strength for the game,” I said in such a tone that it immediately became clear that I was addressing them not as a friend, but as a captain. Two pairs of angry eyes rushed at me, but before the guys could reply, I clapped my hands loudly.
The team immediately gathered in the middle of the dressing room. I pulled the number “17” leotard over my head. The fabric was so familiar that it was part of me.That dark feeling came back to me, but I suppressed it and tried to focus on Coach Freeman, who came out of his dressing room and headed towards us. He was a tall, lanky man who, because of his long limbs, was mistaken for a distance runner or athlete rather than a lacrosse player. He put a cap on his thinning blond hair, adjusted his visor and put his arms around the shoulders of me – the captain, and Cyril – the deputy.
He glanced around at the team.
– For some of you this is the first season, for some it will be the last.The overall goal remains the championship, he growled. Everything else is secondary. So look, do not disappoint.
Coach Freeman is not particularly eloquent here, but a couple of his words are enough to cause loud, approving cries in our ranks.
“This season should be the best in the history of Maxton Hall,” I added a little louder than the coach. – Do you agree?
The guys shouted back in unison, but Cyril considered their answer not loud enough. He put his hand to his ear:
– Agree?
The roar this time was such that it rang in my ears – perfect.
After that we put on our helmets and grabbed the sticks. The way out of the locker room through a narrow tunnel was like diving under water – the noise outside came in muffled, as if it were pressing on my ears. I tightened my grip on the club and led the team onto the field.
The stands were crowded. People cheered as we ran out onto the field and the cheerleaders danced. Music thundered loudly from the speakers, and the earth trembled underfoot. I was letting fresh air through my lungs, and for the first time in weeks I felt so alive.
As the substitutes and the coach made their way to the edge of the court, we lined up in the center of the field, face to face with the opposing team, which looked equally enthusiastic.
“This will be the right game,” Cyril, standing next to me, said, voicing my thoughts.
While we waited for the judge, I looked around the stands. From here I could see very few people, except perhaps Lydia. She, as always, sat with her friends at the very top and acted as if she was not interested in this sight. I looked at the edge of the pitch, studying the other team’s substitutes, then at their coach, who was just on his way to greet Freeman.
Then my attention was attracted by a girl who approached the trainers. After exchanging a few words with them, she showed them something in her hands. The wind blew and I could see her face behind her hair.
I cannot afford to be seen next to you.
This memory was like a blow in the stomach. Nobody has ever told me that.
As a rule, the opposite is true. People strive to be noticed next to me at any cost. From the first day I came to this school, classmates followed my heels and tried to get attention.You can’t get away from this if your name is Beaufort. Ever since mom’s relatives founded a fashion house for traditional menswear one hundred and fifty years ago and created a multibillion-dollar business as it developed, there has not been a single person in the country who did not know our last name. Beaufort is associated with wealth. With influence. Power. And there are enough people in Maxton Hall who think that I could give them all of this – or even a small part – if they flatter them properly.
I don’t have enough fingers to count all the cases when, after a stormy party, they slipped me sketches of costumes.How many times have they talked to me under some pretext, so that during the conversation they casually clarify the contact details of the parents. How often they tried to get into the circle of my friends, so that later they could pass on inside information about me and Lydia to the press. The snapshot from Ren’s sixteenth birthday two years ago, in which I sniff drugs, is just one example of many. Not to mention what Lydia had to endure.
So I choose my friends carefully. Ren, Alistair, Cyril and Kesh do not need my money – they already have enough of this stuff.Alistair and Cyril come from the Old English aristocracy, Ren’s father made a fortune in stock companies, and Kesh’s dad is a successful film producer.
People are looking for our attention.
All except …
My gaze settled on Ruby. Her dark, wind-blown hair gleamed in the sun. She struggled with her bangs, smoothing it down with her hand, although it was useless: after a few seconds, her hair was blown back in the wind. I’m pretty sure I had never seen her before this incident with Lydia.I wonder why.
I really can’t afford to be seen next to you.
Everything about her aroused disbelief in me — especially her piercing green eyes. I just wanted to approach her in order to understand: does she look at other people the same way as at me, with fire and contempt in her eyes?
This girl saw my sister cuddling with the teacher. I wonder what her intentions are. Waiting for the right moment to detonate the bomb? This would not be the first screaming headline about my family.
Mortimer Beaufort has an affair with a twenty-year-old!
Cornelia Beaufort is depressed!
Will addiction kill him? James Beaufort is an addict!
After dinner with an employee, my father was credited with an affair, and after a quarrel between the parents, my mother was diagnosed with severe depression. They made me a junkie on the verge of an overdose, who needs to be saved. It’s hard to even imagine what the journalists will learn if they sniff out about Lydia and Mr. Sutton.
I kept looking at Ruby.She took a camera out of her backpack and filmed the coaches shaking hands. My gloves creaked as I gripped the club so tightly. I misjudged Ruby. I don’t know if she told me the truth and if there is a cold calculation behind this.
Maybe I should have offered her more money. Or she needs something else, and she is biding her time to demand …
The fact that the fate of my family – in particular Lydia – is in the hands of this girl, I did not like at all.
I cannot afford to be seen next to you.
Let’s see.

Abstract:
Spring in Styria means war…
Nineteen years are the Bloody Years. The ruthless Grand Duke Orso is mired in a brutal struggle against the contentious League of Eight. The white ground between them is drenched in blood. The armies are marching. Heads fly off the shoulders. Cities are burning. Meanwhile, bankers, priests and ancient dark forces started a behind-the-scenes fuss, the goal of which is the election of a king.
War may be hell, but for Monza Mercatto, Snake Talin, the most dangerous and famous mercenary in the service of Duke Orso, it’s also a damn good way to make money.Monza’s victories made her popular – perhaps too much, according to her employer. Betrayed, thrown from a mountain and left to die, Monza found herself – a mutilated body and a burning thirst for revenge. Whatever it cost her, seven people must die.
Spring in Styria means revenge.
_________________________________________
If after reading the trilogy “The First Law” someone still had doubts that Joe Abercrombie writes dark, harsh and realistic books, then “Better to serve cold” is able to convince even the most notorious skeptic …Among the characters in the novel, it is very difficult to find at least one character who can be called unconditionally positive. The main character is driven exclusively by revenge, Monza does not care about anything else and does not spare either his own or other people’s lives on the way to realizing his goal. It does not even occur to her to start all over again, leaving the past behind.
Monza needs to kill seven, including some of the most powerful people in Styria, so the woman really needs help.She is recruiting a team of the most unscrupulous scoundrels left out of work in Styria. These include both familiar people and completely new faces. So, meet: former practitioner and now single mother, Sheilo Vitari; ex-leader of the Thousand Balls, in the past a renowned mercenary, and now degraded, but still charming and charismatic, a penniless drunkard Nikomo Koska; the convict Balagur, obsessed with numbers and counting; Master Poisoner Morveer, his merry and voracious apprentice Day, and another old friend of ours, Shake.He is perhaps the only one that stands out from the list as he moved to Styria to start life anew and get better. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong country. The northerner’s naive dreams turn to dust soon after he steps off the ship’s ladder. It turns out that a person who has fought all his conscious life in various wars, battles, ambushes and other fights, it is very difficult to find an occupation where you do not need to break someone’s skull. As a result, the only employer of Shake is Monza, and the guy is forced to return to the very craft from which he tried to leave – to murder.And soon, under the influence of the environment and circumstances, Shake begins to understand that, perhaps, murder is the only thing that he does well, and there is no point in changing his profession.
However, the negative changes taking place with Shake should not surprise the author’s longtime admirers – Joe is rather skeptical of his fellow tribesmen. He loves to walk through the negative sides of human psychology, culture, structure of society, to touch upon many topical socio-political issues in our world and to give unflattering assessment to many aspects of our life.At the same time, Joe devotes a lot of time to his characters, revealing new features and developing the characters of the characters, and no matter how bad the heroes become, their evolution does not look far-fetched. The earthly circle is a very difficult and uncomfortable world, so naive optimists have to either adjust to harsh and harsh conditions, or withdraw from the distance. But at the same time, no matter how the characters try to prove the opposite, substituting and betraying their comrades, Abercrombie urges not to lose hope, showing that even under the most cruel mask mercy, kindness, or at least devotion to their loved ones can be hidden.
As in The First Law, in the new book Joe has once again trampled upon genre clichés, repeatedly deceiving the expectations of readers with unexpected plot twists. There are so many events with a “double” or even a “triple” bottom in the book that the jaw sometimes does not have time to take its place before falling again from surprise. Moreover, the novel is not limited to one storyline. The book is divided into seven parts, according to the number of names on the Monza list, and the first few parts are really devoted exclusively to another sophisticated scheme of sending a new enemy to the next world.But, starting with the fourth part, the action is gaining momentum, the scale of events is steadily increasing, new players appear in the field of view of readers, previously unknown details are revealed, and as a result, a banal story of revenge turns into a mixture of a geopolitical thriller with a military drama.
Not only heroes develop in Joe, scientific and technological progress does not stand still. The incendiary mixture used by the Gurks during the siege of Dagoski and considered then a new word in the technique of warfare, now firmly entered the arsenal of means for siege, and is widely used in the Styrian “Bloody Years”.In addition, the craftsmen blessed by the Prophet made a new product – Gurk sugar (read, gunpowder).
And the words of Bayaz, uttered at the end of “The Last Argument of the Kings”, begin to come true – both the Union and the Prophet now rely not on magic, but on more mundane means – the vast reserves of the bank “Valint and Balk” and no less huge reserves of gold in the Gurkhula mountains. Moreover, Bayaz and Khalul not only fight each other directly, but also choose their henchmen in all possible conflicts that erupt in the Earth circle.Their behavior is very similar to the actions of the leaders of the USSR and the United States during the Cold War.
The events of the book take place in a new place for fans of the “First Law” – Styria. And it should be noted that the island is just perfect for the story that Joe tells. Styria is very similar to Renaissance Italy, with city-states, bloody feuds, numerous betrayals, settling accounts, poisoners, magicians, brothels, intrigues and everything else. Moreover, Abercrombie very creatively approached the creation of Styrian cities – there are no two alike, and each city is able to boast of its own beauties.The austere buildings of Vesport, the mists of Sipani, the towers of Visserina and the almost impregnable castle of Fontezarmo will be remembered for a long time after the last page of the book is turned.
Styria as it is
In “BSC” Joe does a lot for the development of his world – he adds to the narrative details about the outstanding commanders of the past, talks about the religions of the peoples of the Earth Circle, about politics and life of the ruling class, about the mores of society and its individual representatives, and what happened in the world after the end of The Last Argument of Kings.The Union is mired in endless wars in the North, the Black Doe still sits on the royal throne, the Union itself is restless, but Queen Teresa does not stop pleasing her husband with new children, and Glokta holds real power tightly in her hands.
Well, for complete happiness in the new book you can find almost half of the surviving characters from the “First Law”. In addition to the already mentioned Vitari, Koski, Shake and Duke Orso, Carlotta dan Eider, Yoru Sulfur, the banker Mophis and even His Majesty the King of the Union Jezal the First appear in the novel.Well, those heroes who did not manage to personally appear in the new book are constantly remembered with a kind or not very word.
Speaking of words, Joe is a virtuoso master of English, and reading his novels in the original is a pleasure, even if the text is perceived more difficult than most of the other authors whose work I got acquainted with in the original language. BSC, on the other hand, contains all the components of Abecrombie’s corporate style: a constant play on words, playing out the same phrases in different situations, self-citation, sparkling dialogues, cynical comments and a sea of black humor.
Currently, two translations of the novel are available to Russian-speaking readers – an amateur and an official one from the EKSMO publishing house. Unfortunately, claims can be made for both works. As an amateur, the inhabitants of the Earth circle suddenly began to speak the language of the gopniks from South Butovo, but the beauty of Joe’s language disappeared under the jumble of English-language constructions and word-for-word. The official translation turned out to be slightly emasculated in terms of emotions, but it undoubtedly wins in artistic terms, although it has a number of mistakes and mistakes.
Summary: An excellent book that should appeal to most Joe Abercrombie art lovers. Colorful heroes, brilliant black humor, fascinating plot, pun, wonderful dialogues, cameos of the heroes of the “First Law”, the next round of the struggle between Bayaz and Khalul and much, much more awaits you under the cover of this solid, plump book. But be careful! When you open a novel, you run the risk of swallowing all your food cold – immersed in a book, it is very easy to forget about lunch.
At the same time, I will not dare to recommend the book for general reading – if even some fans of the “First Law” spit on the book, then what can I say about everyone else. But if you love dark, cruel, realistic stories, with elements of naturalism, with colorful, but unprincipled and cynical bastards in the role of the main characters, Joe will not let you down.

2 3 932 Actor Nakamura Toru, list of dramas. Sorted by year of writing
Name: Nakamura Toru / Nakamura Toru / 仲 村 ト オ ル Occupation: Actor Agency: Kitto Place of Birth: Tokyo, Japan Height: 184cm Weight: 62kg Blood Type: A Family: Wife Actress Washio Isako and two daughters
Born in Tokyo, but moved with his parents from place to place, as he managed to live in Kanagawa Prefecture and Osaka as a child, and he grew up and studied in Chiba Prefecture.Nakamura graduated in literature from Senshū University.
His first role was a very iconic character. The fact is that in the 1980s, films for teenagers gradually gained popularity about teenage schoolchildren, often about violent skirmishes among high school students, but with comedic and semi-ironic content, similar to the manga popular at that time. One of the founders of this genre can be considered “Be-Bop High School”. The film was the second (after OVA in animation) adaptation of the famous manga “Be-Bop High School” by Kuichi Kazuhiro.
While still at university, Nakamura was offered to audition for the role in “Bee Bop”. The fact that the choice was stopped on him (in fact, he had the main role for 5 full-length films) was played by not only outstanding data, but also a funny fact: the name of the actor and the name of his hero in the film turned out to be very consonant. In the story, all attention is focused on two high school friends: Kato Hiroshi and Nakama Tohru.
It just so happened that the second role became a real hit for Nakamaru Toru.It was a detective television series “Abunai Deka” (literally – an abbreviation of the phrase “Dangerous detectives”). This role in the future had a significant impact on the style and role of Nakamura as an actor. In Japan, the 1990s closed the peak of popularity of police dramas (as in the whole world, television people discovered this genre for themselves in the late 1970s). Several seasons (about 77 episodes) were released, very popular in Japan. In this film, he was fortunate enough to play with many old screen stars, with whom he subsequently played repeatedly on the big screen.so with Shibata Kohei, they played roles together in the movie “The Canaries of the North”. the two actors are not only similar in appearance, they have similar roles, the spirit of true nobility, which they demonstrate on the screen.
Meanwhile, when the filming of B-Bop was long gone, the actor again found himself at the peak of popularity. The fact is that he began to broadcast on the radio and it turned out what a sexy voice the new star has. And that this is not at all a harsh bandit (in the 1970s, for example, the opposite situations happened more often, when harsh people came to the acting profession to play bandits and yakuza, either simply dashing by nature, like Sugawara Bunta, or simply simply immigrants from the Yakuza like Ando Noboru), but a nice intelligent guy.The fact that his photos began to appear more and more on the covers of newspapers also worked, and in the movies he played in the romantic melodrama “Love story o kimi ni” in 1988. And here it was no longer the boys, for whom he became the ideal of masculinity and unbridledness, looked at him with bated breath, but the female audience from small to large.
During his career as an actor, he has already played in dozens of television dramas and films. She is also often featured in commercials and commercial videos. Interesting fact: in the 2000s, the actor was repeatedly invited to participate in the filming of Korean films, where he had to play ethnic Japanese: “Blue Swallow” (2005) and 2009 “Lost Memories” (2002).
Apparently, for Korean filmmakers, he is the embodiment of a few idealized ideas about a true samurai.
Interesting facts: – never smoked for a long time and seriously, and in “Bebop High School” there were many scenes where the heroes smoke, which were very difficult for him. Also in this film there were many difficult stunts, during the shooting of fights, which the actor performed on his own; – loves to do the cleaning on his own and to bother around the house, go to the laundry; – in recent years, has been actively campaigning for the preservation of the environment.
3 world war military-political. Predictions about the third world war that you did not know. Probable time of impact
Brought with it a confrontation between the socialist and capitalist camps, which, according to historians, could lead to a global conflict with the use of weapons of mass destruction. The basis of the US military doctrine in the 1950s is the so-called massive retaliation, which implies a retaliatory strike that surpasses the first in destructive power.
The closest to the beginning of the third world war, mankind stood, according to some, during the Cuban missile crisis of 1962. The confrontation was a consequence of the Soviet deployment of nuclear missiles in Cuba as a response to similar US actions in Europe and Turkey near the Soviet borders. On October 25, 1962, John F. Kennedy gave the order to increase the combat readiness of the US Strategic Air Command to the level of DEFCON -2 (the first and only time in US history). On October 27, 1962, military advisers to the President of the United States suggested that he launch an invasion of Cuba, but Kennedy refused this scenario.
With the growth of the military potential of both sides, nuclear deterrence is replacing “massive retaliation”. The reduction of arms, which coincided with perestroika and the subsequent collapse of the USSR in 1985-1990, reduced the likelihood of the confrontation developing into a general armed conflict.
Since the end of the 20th century, the concept has acquired a different meaning. Countering international terrorism is becoming a priority task for the armed forces of developed countries. The third world war is beginning to be called the fight against the largest terrorist organizations.The third world war is also called the possible consequences of the potential use of weapons of mass destruction by countries that have not officially joined the nuclear club and are uncontrollably building up their military potential (Iran, Israel).
If you are interested in avoiding World War III, it seems that you should be interested in preventing Iran from acquiring the knowledge needed to build nuclear weapons.
Original text (eng.)
If you “re interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing Iran from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.
Cold War as World War III
There is a concept according to which the Third World War has already taken place – in the form of the Cold War. The author of this concept is Subcomandante Marcos:
The Third World War, or “Cold” War, lasts from 1946 (or, if you will, from the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945) to -1990. It was a big world war, which consisted of many local wars. And, like everyone else, it ended with the conquest of territories and the destruction of the enemy.The next step is the transition to the management of the conquered and the reorganization of the territories. There were the following participants in this war: first, two superpowers – the United States and the Soviet Union with their satellites; secondly, most of the European states; thirdly, Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia and Oceania. The periphery countries revolved around the USA or the USSR according to what suited them best. Behind the superpowers and countries of the periphery, there were spectators and victims, that is, the rest of the world. The struggle between the superpowers was not always straightforward.It was often carried out through other countries. While large industrialized states joined one bloc or another, the rest of the countries and their populations acted as spectators or victims. The main characteristics of this war were: the first – the arms race, the second – local wars. The nuclear-armed superpowers competed among themselves how many times they could destroy the world. The way to put pressure on the enemy was to demonstrate superior strength. And at the same time, in different parts of the planet, local wars were unleashed, behind which were superpowers.
According to this concept, immediately after the end of the Third World War, the United States and its allies began the Fourth World War, the purpose of which is to establish complete control over the planet [ ].
Scenario and Consequences
In contrast to previous world wars, the potential scenarios of the Third World War with the use of nuclear weapons in the 1970s and 1980s foresaw a rapid development of events. The flight time of Minuteman ICBMs launched from the United States against targets in the USSR was about 35 minutes.R-36M missiles, which were mainly on alert in the USSR, would have taken about the same amount of time to reach cities and other important facilities in the United States. Considering this, the first and retaliatory strike, which would have been able to wipe out the largest cities and military bases of the enemy from the face of the Earth, could occur within tens of minutes.
In the event of the massive use of nuclear weapons in World War III, most of humanity could be destroyed. According to experts from the UN Commission, by the end of 1980, the total stock of nuclear weapons on Earth was about 13 gigatons of TNT.According to the international journal of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the dumping of 5,000 nuclear missiles with a total capacity of two gigatons on the main cities of the northern hemisphere can lead to a one-time death of 750 million people from only one of the damaging factors – the shock wave. Thus, according to Andrei Sakharov’s estimates, in the 1980s, the nuclear arsenal of mankind was sufficient for its complete destruction.
However, despite the existing military potential of the states that are members of the “Nuclear Club”, the likelihood of the use of atomic weapons by these states remains low due to the lack of an effective defense strategy at the moment that would be able to protect the “aggressor” from retaliation from sides of the “victim” of aggression.Attempts to create an effective anti-missile defense system have some success (for example, within the SDI program), but the effectiveness of such a system is far from one hundred percent, and the risk of being hit by a nuclear strike on one’s own territory, even on a much smaller scale than on the enemy’s territory, is politically unacceptable for everyone. developed countries. Literature and cinematography often plays up the possibility of the defense system getting out of the control of the country’s political leadership or the coming to power of the country by an irresponsible leader, which leads to the mutual destruction of opponents, despite the practical senselessness of such a strategic decision.
Currently, the only way to protect against atomic weapons is the deployment of economically important objects in deep underground shelters, which from an economic point of view would be an extremely difficult project, and therefore only extremely important defense organizations are placed in underground shelters. (For example, NORAD, located in Cheyenne Mountain. At the same time, even this level of protection is not able to ensure the safety of this object from being hit by a powerful thermonuclear projectile.Especially penetrating.)
However, in reality, the destruction of defense facilities (military-industrial complex) and key infrastructure elements (ports, bridges, transport / railway junctions, power plants, etc.) along with a significant number of civilians living near the bombing targets , despite the severity of the consequences, it is still not an insurmountable catastrophe at the state and even more so at the international level. The existence of an effective civil defense system can significantly reduce civilian casualties.For example, in Switzerland there is a developed network of anti-nuclear shelters, which after the accident at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima received a “new life” as a shelter from a possible man-made disaster of this type. A standard Swiss shelter (which, in accordance with construction legislation, is located both under private houses and under public buildings) is designed for a thermonuclear strike of 12 megatons at a distance of 700 meters, which makes it possible to count on the survival of a significant number, if not the majority of the population after a severe thermonuclear hitting the country.So it is quite possible that the conflict with the use of thermonuclear weapons will not be limited to mutual bombing after the first strike and retaliatory strike – the war will develop in the traditional way with the parties involved in operations to gain control over certain theaters of military operations. At the moment, however, the “superpowers” do not have a civil defense system like the one in Switzerland (excluding the existing underground metro systems). The situation will probably change if atomic weapons are used by any country during hostilities.For example, the possibility of the use of such weapons by rogue states (for example, North Korea) is currently a matter of concern not only for the United States [ ].
Points of tension at the beginning of the XXI century
At the beginning of the 21st century, the main points of tension are located on the borders between Pakistan and India (see: Indo-Pakistani conflict), as well as Israel and Palestine (Iran is on the side of the latter).
Indo-Pakistani conflict
Arab-Israeli conflict
A similar situation is developing around the Arab-Israeli conflict: the United States has an ally Israel, and the Arab states traditionally buy weapons from Russia (with the exception of Egypt, which actively cooperates with the United States and the European Union in the military-technical sphere).And if the Arab-Israeli conflict develops to the level of war, direct or indirect confrontation may arise between the nuclear powers – the United States and Russia [ ]. (In any case, an Arab-Israeli or some other Middle East “Korean War” is quite possible.) questions related to the specified topic. Thus, the first vice-president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, Doctor of Military Sciences Konstantin Sivkov [ ] made a report “Assessment of the reality of world war as the main tool for overcoming the global crisis, and its probable nature.”He highlighted the likelihood of the outbreak of a world war, the main reasons for its occurrence, who can act as the opposing sides, and a number of other issues.
Despite some discrepancies, the general outline can be seen quite clearly. In prophecies, we see, as a rule, a mixture of a desirable and a truly fulfilling future. If we take this into account and make an amendment to the author’s bias, his praise of his religion, culture, country, people, then we can get a fairly adequate picture.It is also important to take into account the fact that, as a rule, visions are valid only for the area where they were made.
I found it interesting to see the visions of the Swedish fortuneteller Anton Johansson, which he set forth before the First World War. Many believed, therefore, that he was mistaken in comparing his visions with the events of the war. Today it becomes clear that much of what he said has yet to be realized. Johansson describes the appearance of a huge vortex over the Panama Canal, which will pass across the planet, at the same time there will be a volcanic eruption.It will go north and destroy many American cities, then pass through Europe and go to Siberia.
Of greatest interest are the events described by Johanson, which in many respects have something in common with the visions of other European seers: China will occupy India. Iran and Turkey will be occupied by Russian troops. The Russians will enter the Balkans and Italy. They will pass through Hungary, Austria and Switzerland. In France, local communists will seize power and go to Spain, where there will be 25 million victims only from.Then France uses hers against Sweden. A civil war will begin in Germany. Russia will join Finland, Norway and Sweden. Gothenburg will be captured by the French. The northern parts will be given to Russia. The Civil War in England will be bloodier than in Germany. Russia will attack the United States, so they will not be able to help the Europeans. Big cities will be destroyed. As a result of the civil war, the United States will fall into five parts.
As markers of the onset of the Third World War, Johansson calls the socialist government in Sweden and the war of England in Ireland.In addition to the above prophets, there are many individual predictions in the literature that complement the picture of the war and the events preceding it, allow us to look at them from a different angle.
According to Adam, in 1949 the Mother of God told him that a war would begin in the Southeast, but it would only be a diversionary maneuver, the main blow of the Russians would be directed at Sweden, Norway and Denmark. At the same time, parts of the Russian army will reach the Rhine through Saxony and Thuringia. In the South, Russian armies will join up on the Yugoslavian border in order to move to Greece and Italy, then through Spain and France to reach the Atlantic coast.
Bamberg should become the center of the world communist government.The southern army will be destroyed, and the new German Kaiser will fight with the northern part with the help of modern weapons. There will be a big battle in Saxony. The remnants of the Russian army will be driven to Russia. Many Europeans said that after the war there would be a revolution in Russia, when the communists were finally removed from power, and the people would again believe in Christ. The fact is that during the war, the communists will play an important role and will start persecuting Christians again.
Today it is also becoming clear that the so-called “red Islam” in Turkey and other countries is angry with Catholics and is going to take revenge on them for the wrongs of a thousand years ago.
The Englishman White in 1976 saw in his visions a war in which the Russians occupied Germany and Norway. Before that, the Russian army wanted to attack Israel, but the “heavenly forces” destroyed it. Russian troops will be forced to leave Europe because China will attack Russia.
American soothsayer Brinkley says that the Soviet Union was destroyed by Georgia. One can argue with this, but if we look at who our foreign ministers were, it turns out that they all lived in Tbilisi: from Shevardnadze to Lavrov.The 08.08.08 war, which Saakashvili started with Russia, is also worth considering.
Many immigrants from Georgia live in Moscow, not to mention the famous Georgian thieves in law who operate throughout Russia. The vision of two atomic explosions belongs to the same visionary: in Chernobyl and in Norway. If everyone knows about Chernobyl, then nothing is heard about Norway (if this is not the Kursk accident). Perhaps this explosion will follow.
Interesting are the visions of an unknown Austrian predictor published in the book “Visions 2004” (1994).The author describes in detail the events that will precede the Third World War. In particular, he talks about the problems in Europe that will bring left and right-wing extremist parties to power. Joint demonstrations of local criminals and visiting Islamic migrants will lead to riots. Not only large cities will be plundered, but also small settlements. Particular anger will be directed at representatives of the Catholic Church.
According to the author, Russia is using the unrest in Europe for a military attack.There will be an energy crisis before World War III, as Russia will stop supplying hydrocarbons. Small atomic charges will destroy the center of New York, and everyone will think that this is the revenge of the Arabs.
The second event is the war in Saudi Arabia, where the Americans will try to seize oil fields, but they will not succeed. The war in Saudi Arabia will go on without application. America will lose control of this region and will be ousted by China in the international arena.
The forecaster spoke about the influx of a large number of migrants, which is coming true before our eyes, when a wave of migrants from Syria and other Arab and African countries rushed to Europe. He noted the strengthening of the role of Islam and the reluctance of European youth to serve in the army.
In Germany, the period of economic prosperity and its positioning as one of the major creditor countries will end. Its economy will not be able to cope with the costs of unification of Germany and the consequences of the global economic crisis.Poland will suffer from the military in the south of the country. In Russia, stability and an atheist government will remain, despite the growth in the number of believers.
The return to Orthodoxy will take place only after the Third World War. There will be no economic crisis in China, which will be able to modernize its army. Before the Third World War, communists will come to power in Europe and persecute Catholics in Italy and France during riots and street clashes. Western Europe will be covered by a wave of visitors from Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa, but the main reason for the Third World War is the energy crisis.Many Europeans will believe in Russia’s peace plans. The appearance of Russian tanks in Austria and Germany will come as a complete surprise to them. The Americans will not interfere and the “evil” Russian army will take food from the population. In panic, many will flee to the West. The third world war will last two years, the Russians will reach Italy. In France and Italy, pogroms and burns will destroy not only Rome and Paris, but also many other cities.
Atomic bombs will begin to be dropped on ships in the Adriatic Sea. Clashes with the Russians will be in Turkey, Bulgaria, Albania, Hungary, and everywhere the Russian army will be defeated.The Chinese will come to NATO’s aid. They will capture the south of Russia. Their tanks will be better than the Russian ones. The main battles between the Chinese and the Russians will take place on the territory of the Czech Republic.
The tipping point will be the use by the Germans of a secret space laser that will destroy all Russian missiles. From now on, the Americans will enter the war and apply. As a result of the explosion of the atomic bomb in the North Sea, the coastal regions of England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Germany will be flooded. Western Bohemia will be particularly affected, where the Russians and Chinese will actively use tactical nuclear weapons.The Chinese will try to surround the Russians. At this moment, the Russian nuclear arsenal will detonate and the explosion will be of such force that the earth’s crust will rupture and an eruption will begin. Prague will be covered with ashes and earthquakes will take place all over the earth. Poisonous clouds will go to the East, there will be a five-day eclipse, when five billion will die. From this moment on, they will try not to use nuclear weapons.
The Russian army will panic, which the Germans will take advantage of and kill all Russian soldiers. A military defeat will lead to a new revolution in Russia, when the communists will be killed.All German-speaking states will unite and elect a new Kaiser. China will receive part of Siberia. The Vatican will cease to exist. Alois Irlmeier Bavarian fortuneteller Alois Irlmeier (1894-1959) is well known not only in Germany, but throughout the world. His military review of the Third World War has become a classic and many soothsayers refer to him. With these words, he illustrates the situation before the Third World War: “Everyone was talking about peace, Shalom! A new war suddenly breaks out in the Middle East.Hostile ships appear in the Mediterranean. The tension is growing. The spark that will blow everything up will be the murder of a famous politician. ” From the East, troops will go to Belgrade, which will turn to Italy. Simultaneously, three tank wedges will unexpectedly reach the Rhine. The population will run to the West in panic. Tanks will crush cars on the Autobahn. Frankfurt will be hit hard. The Rhine Valley will be subject to air strikes. The yellow dragon (China?) Will attack Alaska and Canada, but it will be quickly stopped. In Irlmeier we find many specific predictions that are difficult to verify.For example, the city of Landau will be hit by an accidental bomb. One tank column will pass through the Czech Republic, another through Saxony, and the third through the north. They must unite in the Ruhr area. The headquarters of the army will be in the Upper Palatinate. Tanks will drive day and night. Flocks of American drones (“White Doves”), taking off from the African desert, will drop chemical bombs on Russian tanks to stop the advance. Prague (“The Golden City”) will suffer greatly.
People, animals and plants on which chemical charges fall will turn black.The Americans will poison the whole strip of land from Prague to the sea. Tank columns, left without supplies, turn north. The offensive ends. The last battle will be in the Cologne-Bonn area. The townspeople will take cattle from farms where there are no people. Paris will be burned by its own inhabitants. In Italy, many priests will die as a result of the religious war. Dad, disguised as a woman, will be able to escape.
The North Sea will “boil”, waves will flood the coastal areas. Some islands will disappear, including parts of England.During the Third World War, according to the visions of Irlmeier, an eclipse will occur. To survive, you need to close your home, seal the windows with black and stock up on food for three weeks. All products in glass jars will deteriorate, you can only eat tinned metal. The water will also be poisoned.
There will again be a revolution and a civil war in Russia, with many corpses lying on the streets. Party leaders will commit suicide, and the people will begin to truly believe in Christ. As a date, Irlmeier saw three nines, but did not know what they meant.The number “three” speaks about the duration of the Third World War: three weeks, three months, three years? As a result of the eclipse, more will die than in the First and Second World Wars, but the survivors will again turn to Christ. Abortion will be canceled, the old man will become the king of Germany, who is crowned by the Pope in Cologne. The climate will get warmer and happy, well-fed times will come.
When will World War III start?
If you believe these predictions and proceed from the events that should precede the Third World War, then apparently these events will not happen soon.At least not earlier than 2018-2019. The fact is that before the Third World War an economic crisis must occur. They talk a lot about him today, but apparently the American system still has sufficient strength and will last for some time. Moreover, recently we can observe how all Russian resources go to support the American economy. It is America’s economic crisis that can cause a domino effect and spread to European countries that are not ready for it.
The collapse of the Euro and the political crisis associated with migrants may well lead to the events described in the prophecies of the Third World War. They can be used by both left-wing and right-wing extremists who organize mass demonstrations. If the state fails to cope with this, then pogroms can lead to a chain escalation of violence, and arson and looting can bring down an already weak economy. Events reminiscent of a civil war are foretold for Italy and France.They will be extended to other European countries.
Another important marker before the start of the Third World War should be the war in the Middle East. Events in Syria today already demonstrate sufficient fierceness and involvement of many countries, but today Russia and the United States are allies in the fight, and the forecasts speak of an unsuccessful attempt by the Americans to seize the oil regions of Saudi Arabia. The destruction of the center of New York is also an important event preceding the Third World War and will be carried out by the Arabs, seeking revenge on America.
A very small but characteristic detail against the background of these events is the assertion of one of the seers that Russian tanks that try to break through to the Rhine will have a flat turret, although all Soviet tanks had a round turret. Maybe we are talking about new tanks that are going to be delivered to the Russian army and order 2,000 units. Their feature is not only that they have a flat turret, but also that the crew is in a special protected capsule.
According to many German forecasters, the Russian tank wedges will be able to reach the Rhine almost unopposed, where they will be destroyed by NATO chemical and nuclear weapons.As for the weapons of the Third World War, one of the prophecies says that a secret German laser satellite will play a decisive role, which will shoot down all Russian missiles. This is the military review of the Third World War.
As far as I know, the Germans have not yet created such a satellite, and military lasers, although they already exist, but only at the testing stage. So the beginning of World War III will have to wait at least several years, although the American “hawks” are eager to fight, accusing Russia of all sins, arranging various provocations, such as with the Boeing shot down by the Ukrainians.
Some German seers said that before the Third World War the military would come to power in Russia, although today we see that liberals from Chubais to Yavlinsky remain in power, advocating the preservation of Russia’s colonial status.
World War III Scenarios
The most detailed scenario of the Third World War we find in the Athos monk George (Victorious?).
“Russia will withstand one more provocation – an attack from Georgia, and this time it will destroy Georgia completely.The losses of the civilian population of Georgia will be appalling. While the Russians are fighting in Georgia, the Ukrainians, incited by the Americans, will begin to rudely provoke Russia.
Turkey will allow American ships and aircraft to enter its straits and airspace to strike at Russia. From now on, the countdown for Turkey will begin. Very soon the Russians will defeat the Ukrainians and will be greeted with joy by the inhabitants of Ukrainian cities. For the first time, air battles between Russians and Americans will take place over Ukraine and the Black Sea, and the Russians will be victorious.
A dictatorship will be established in Turkey, and at the same time the Kurds will revolt. There will be a worldwide economic crisis. The economic systems of the states will collapse one after another, payments will be stopped, popular rebellions will occur on the basis of the economy, and the inhabitants of Europe will refuse to serve in the army … The war will go on in our immediate neighborhood: Albania, Croatia, Bosnia, America and NATO against Serbia and Russia. In Greece, the government will fall within a few weeks, and we will go to the polls.This is where the ruling junta in Turkey will attack us. The Russians will send troops into Eastern Thrace and lands on the other side of the straits. Western troops will land in Albania and begin to advance eastward. Part of their troops will go along the road to Greece. The allies will hate the Greeks terribly for not fighting the Russians … Western soldiers will rob houses, rape women of all ages, kill people, burn churches, and mock priests. But the new crusaders will be overtaken by punishment at the walls of Constantinople.
The Black Sea will become a Russian lake, after Turkey is conquered, which will experience the Russian secret weapon. The Russians, hurrying until NATO had time to help Turkey, will destroy the whole country. Even earlier, they will enter Georgia, Ukraine, Armenia and Azerbaijan, pushing back American troops. In the north, the Russians will conquer Finland, Sweden, Norway, because, although these countries formally have neutrality, it is from their territory that the first serious blow to Russia will be dealt, the victims of which will be civilians.Then the Russians will enter Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Moldova.
The population of Orthodox countries will revolt, overthrow their corrupt rulers and conclude an alliance with Russia. They will be Serbs and Romanians, but not Bulgarians. After that, the Russians will march south to help their Arab allies and especially the Iranians in the war with the Americans. By this time, the Americans will take possession of the entire coast of Iran, but will not be able to advance inland, since the Persians will desperately resist. The Russians will march across Persia and defeat the US-NATO forces.Then they will invade Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait and finally Israel.
At this time, at the request of Israel, the United States will make the first attempt to use nuclear weapons, but the Russians will neutralize it. This will cause interruptions in energy and communications throughout the world. The Russians will then enter Egypt and take over the Suez Canal. During the offensive in the Middle East, Russian troops will pass through Greece and enter the Balkans to help the Serbs in the fight against Muslims (Herzegovina, Albania?) And Catholics (Slovenia?), And win.Only the betrayal of the Chinese will break the Russians and force them to divide their forces. Although at first China will be on the side of Russia, after a while, seduced by the power over the territory of all Siberia, the Chinese will allow the Allied troops to stab the Russians in the back. ”
If you believe this prophecy, then the beginning of an open war with America will be a new provocation from Georgia. Georgia in any case plays an important role in the undeclared war with Russia. In addition to the provocation of 08.08.08, many Chechen fighters found their refuge in Georgia.The Georgian diaspora plays an important role in Moscow. All Russian foreign ministers (Shevardnadze, Ivanov, Lavrov) are from Georgia. An Israeli strike on Iran was planned from Georgian airfields, which for some reason did not take place.
Americans continue to supply weapons to Georgia and Ukraine, promising to accept them into NATO. As you know, in 2008 (the year of the financial crisis in America) the offensive of the Russian army was stopped and Tbilisi (Tiflis) was not taken. What could be Georgia’s “provocation”? Most likely, we are talking not about the “attack” of Georgia on Russia, but about the launch of NATO missiles from the territory of Georgia at Russian cities and military facilities.
Then everything goes according to plan: Ukraine is turned on, but Ukrainians will not show much zeal to fight the Russians. Turkey is the next country to declare war on Russia. Recent events in Syria have created sufficient internal tension in Turkey to wage war. It turns out that in recent years, the Americans, setting countries against Russia, are kind of cocking the trigger, twitching the bolt in order to prepare for a shot. In Poland and the Baltics, Romania and Bulgaria, propaganda work is actively underway to mobilize the population of these countries to fight Russia, because the Americans themselves do not want to sacrifice the lives of their soldiers.Since the Americans have the most developed military infrastructure in NATO, they will still fight, but not as aggressors, but “protecting the little brothers” from bloodthirsty Russia. Moreover, they hope that, given their influence on the Russian government, they will be able to stop the “war” in time, not allowing it to develop into one that threatens America itself.
The Americans want to wage the Third World War on the territory of their periphery, away from Washington, leaving their center well protected, especially since it is so vulnerable and glass skyscrapers cannot withstand an air explosion of even one atomic bomb.George predicts the defeat of Georgia, the victory over Ukraine and the partition of Turkey, which will give part of its territories to the Kurds and Armenians. The Russians in bloody battles will seize the straits, but give them to the Greeks. It is interesting that in this prophecy about the Third World War we are talking about the first air battles with the Americans over the territory of Ukraine.
As you know, there has already been an incident with a Su-24 aircraft, which “attacked” an American ship in the Black Sea. Russia’s ground offensive will be quite unexpected for NATO, so the troops will try to occupy as much of the Middle East as possible and reach Iran and Egypt.Israel will be the first to use its nuclear weapons against Russia. At the same time, military operations will take place on the territory of the former Yugoslavia and Scandinavia, from the territory of which a blow will be struck at peaceful Russian cities. Victories on all fronts of the Russian army will force the Americans to change their policy towards China. From America’s enemy, China will become America’s friend and attack Russia, occupying Siberia and the South Urals. But the prophecies of George do not end there.
In his opinion, there will be a war between Russia and China, as well as a war between Russia and Muslims.Arnold Krause’s scenario The second in terms of coverage of the events of the upcoming war can be considered the modern scenario of Arnold Krause. This scenario is largely based on the prophecies of George of Athos, but adds some details, in particular, the number of nuclear bombs is indicated here: “The West will take control of oil production in Syria and Iraq. Turkey will make another “mistake”, with the quiet consent of its overseas curators, and then nothing will stop Russia from a land operation from the Caspian Sea, through Iraq.The grouping will be divided into two parts, one part will go to Turkey, uniting with the Kurds, the second to the south. It will be a shock for the West. Iranians will join the group. Together, they will seize Iraqi oil production, and then end with a powerful blow in Syria. The Saudis are urgently mobilizing the army, but the end will also come for the Saudis … The Armenians and I will reach Istanbul in two months. Turkey will be the first major battle, when 50,000 killed per day will become a common statistic. This will not last long (about two weeks).To slow down the advance of the Russians in Turkey, the slowly smoldering fuse in the Ukraine will come in handy. After the regrouping of troops, the Asian company turns into a European company (and this will be the southern flank), the Kiev one – the central one, and after Sweden, Norway and Finland have shit, the Leningrad one will appear – the northern flank. The Persians will want to bleed the Jews. Unfortunately, this is the military review of the Third World War.
The European company is divided into two stages. First: the Serbs will rise up against the usurpation of the country, we will go to their aid.The Greeks will let the troops pass without problems, the military will be greeted as liberators from the Anglo-Saxon domination, but the Bulgarians, together with NATO, will stab the southern group in the back, this step will entail great grief. The southern group will be defeated. After that, China will fully enter the war. He, together with the Pacific Fleet, neutralizes the US Ministry of Finance. After the southern group is lost in Europe, Russia will detonate hydrogen bombs at the bottom of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The tsunami caused by this will wash away the coastal cities, and, most importantly, wash away southern England with London and its bloody queen.Will fill a little France, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden. In America, New York and California will be washed away. American missiles will fly at us, but out of 160 missiles released, only 9 will reach their goal !!! After they shoot, they will receive an answer, but only for military purposes. We will fire only 20 missiles – 19 will hit the target. China is sending its ground force. Several million strong Chinese guys will completely cleanse North Africa, and the second part will go through Turkey, where they will finally finish off the underground.Because there will be a lot of guys in Africa, a couple of atomic bombs will be blown up there, but this will not stop them. Second: The Chinese will go in three directions, to the Balkans, landing in Italy, and through Gibraltar. Dad flees to the States in panic (by the way, he will bring the news that Europe has fallen). The northern front will deal with the obstinate northerners within a month, and the central front will march through the streets of Berlin in 72 hours.
The NATO group in Bulgaria will be dealt with very harshly, and it will turn out that almost all NATO troops were there.The second front will be Muslim fanatics, they will also do a lot of nasty things, but not so much to stop the army. Americans will think: “Europe is Russians again! So do not get you to anyone! ” And they will launch 20 missiles. We will shoot down only one, and to be sure, Europe will be poisoned so that everyone there will die out, both our and Chinese troops. In Russia, nuclear attacks will reach 16 cities: Moscow, Murmansk, Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok … There will be many missiles, from submarines and small ships, that will reach their targets, but the destruction will be small.Radiation will be only at the epicenter, and 5 km away. it will be relatively calm from him.
Europe will be repopulated in 5 years, mainly by Persians, Indians and Chinese. We will not go, because we ourselves will have to populate the void. We will suffer serious losses (half of the population will die). The third world war will be three years (active operations), so it will not work to sit out on the stove. ” This scenario is very plausible from a military point of view. Its only peculiarity is that China is an ally of Russia, which contradicts many prophecies, including the prophecies of George of Athos.Apparently, this scenario describes the first stage of the Third World War, during which the Chinese will be our allies. Also noteworthy are the following general points found in European prophecies:
Nuclear weapons will be used, not only tactical but also strategic;
There will be hostilities in Europe;
Russia will win in the Middle East;
Russia will lose in Germany;
The offensive of the Russian army will be unexpected for the West;
Israel will use the fifth column in Moscow;
Bulgaria will betray Russia;
The main stages of the Third World War
According to Nostradamus, the war will last 27 years.If we take 2008 as the beginning, then the end will be in 2035. I like the date 08.08.08 – the beginning of the Beijing Olympics and Georgia’s attack on Tskhinvali. According to some prophecies, a new world war will begin in the South China Sea over the disputed islands of the Philippines and China. The Americans do not like the fact that the Chinese are converting atolls into military bases with airfields, which allows them to control this entire important strategic region. It is in this region that the situation has been exacerbating lately.
To solve this problem, the United States even plans to transfer part of the troops here from Europe.In April 2015, the Americans, through sanctions and pressure on the Russian elite, managed to agree to return the Donbass to Ukraine. After Kolomoisky left, the rhetoric of the Russian media changed dramatically when they started talking about the Minsk agreements and the transfer of the borders of Novorossia to the ukrofascists (Judeo-Bandera). So far, the West will not insist on the return of Crimea, but hopes that the entire remaining territory of Ukraine will eventually enter NATO and the European Union.
The events in Syria have somewhat changed the situation in the Middle East, but the prospects for further development are not yet clear, although a process of reconciliation has begun, which will last until the election of a new US president.As “markers” of the beginning of the Third World War, the soothsayers called:
War in Syria (“When Syria falls!” -).
War in Africa (Libya).
Demoralization (Gay Pride and Gay Weddings).
In some prophecies, the “black” 44 president will be the last one. However, today we already know that the 45th President of the United States was elected – however, the official inauguration will take place after the inauguration.
At the first stage, Russia will win, then at the second, when China opposes it, it will lose and lose part of Siberia.In the event of the expulsion of the Americans from Ukraine, Russia will enter Turkey, seeking to seize Istanbul, but the United States will assemble an international coalition and defeat Russia. After this defeat, when the communists again seize Moscow, and the country can be divided into Russia and Siberia.
At the first stage, the partition of Ukraine will take place, the Americans leave New Khazaria, but are consolidated in Poland, the Baltic States and Scandinavia. At the second stage of the escalation of the military conflict, there will be an unexpected blow to Russia from the territory of Georgia and Sweden.In response, Russia will attack the American base in Kosovo, the military infrastructure of Scandinavia, Georgia, enter Turkey and Syria, where it will take part, together with the Chinese, in the “battle of the peoples” against America. In the third stage of the escalation, America will suffer from a geo-catastrophe and a civil war will begin there. Europe will be hit by a meteor shower. Rome and Paris will burn down and they will be occupied by the “Muslim army”. China will “peacefully” occupy Siberia. The Russian army will enter Germany through Hungary and Austria, where it will be destroyed by Chinese troops with the support of the Germans and Americans.
A revolution and the coming of the next Antichrist will follow in Russia. Based on the numerous prophecies of war, several basic scenarios can be identified, but it is important to distinguish between scenarios of military operations and scenarios of political change. It is better not to classify war scenarios by place, because The third world war will take place at several sites at the same time. It is more expedient to classify the scenarios by allies, which allows you to see the overall political situation. At the first stage, the allies have already decided: America-Europe-Israel is opposed by Russia-China-Iran.Then, with the weakening of the first group due to economic problems and natural disasters, changes are possible.
A geoclimatic catastrophe could trigger an economic catastrophe in America and Europe when world trade collapses. Russia, in its confrontation with the West, will first rely on its Asian allies: the Muslim world and Confucian China. They will help defeat America in Ukraine, but then there will be a split between them. First, the Arabs will make peace with Israel and start fighting against Russia, but they will lose.Arabs and Muslims will take advantage of this situation and seize power in Europe. Persecution of Christianity will begin, after which Catholicism will never be able to fully recover. Rome and Paris will be destroyed by the insurgent townspeople, migrants and “Muslim troops”.
After an international conference (in Budapest?), Russia attacks Europe and quickly takes over Germany. At some point, China goes over to the side of Germany (NATO) and declares war on Russia. NATO in a place with the Americans and the Chinese will still manage to knock the Russians out of Europe, using a large number of chemical weapons from Syria.China has already peacefully occupied Eastern Siberia, but now it wants to seize the European part of Russia (Ural). He sends his army to Europe to help the Germans. As a result, American drones, German laser cannons and Chinese light tanks completely destroy the Russian military contingent. At the same time, nuclear weapons will be actively used, which will cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. First, China will take part in the war in the Middle East as an ally of Russia and help liberate the region from ISIS.
As a result of the conflict with the Americans, Russia will occupy the Suez Canal and oil fields. However, then China will oppose Russia and capture part of Siberia, the Chinese army will go to Europe, where it will fight for the Europeans against Russia. At the same time, a wide strip of territory from Prague to the sea will be poisoned in order to cut off the advanced detachments of the Russian army. In the south, this strip will not be for the Chinese to enter Europe. As a result of this betrayal of China and thanks to German space lasers that can shoot down all Russian missiles, the Russian army will be completely destroyed.
Muslims seize power in Italy and France and begin to persecute Catholics. The Pope is forced to flee to Switzerland and Cologne. Catholic churches will be burned and priests killed. After the destruction of New York, Jerusalem will become the capital of the world, where the Temple of Solomon will be restored and the Antichrist will come to power. Geoclimatic catastrophe In the prophecies, besides war, there are other topics: unusual cosmic phenomena and natural disasters.
Of all these problems, geoclimatic problems are very close to the theme of the forthcoming Third World War.It is still not clear whether they will take on a serious scale as a result of cosmic phenomena (comet, new moon, meteor shower) or will be provoked through the use of nuclear weapons, which will lead to earthquakes, eruptions and other tectonic processes. If the visions of a geoclimatic catastrophe are to be believed, the “sea powers” (the United States and England) will suffer from it, as will the coastal regions of the world’s oceans participating in world sea trade under American control. The continental powers (Germany-Russia-China) will intensify (the climate will become warmer).
This scenario of the Third World War can be called quite optimistic for Russia, although it will have to go through many rather unpleasant moments. A geoclimatic catastrophe will forever change not only the physical, but also the political map of the world. Many prophecies point to earthquakes in America and Japan that will flood coastal areas. Many regions of Russia are also flooded: Kamchatka, Sakhalin, Petersburg. Japan, Korea, Bangladesh, Indonesia and the Philippines could disappear completely from the face of the Earth.Italy, Egypt, the countries of the Middle East and the Baltics, Uruguay and Venezuela will suffer. Particularly severe destruction will occur in America, which will cause unrest, looting and provoke a socio-economic and political crisis.
Large numbers of deaths, famines, epidemics and refugees – such consequences can befall humanity, the bulk of whose population lives in coastal regions. Many states will not be able to cope with these problems on their own, and international structures will cease their activities.Hunger, epidemics and street crime will intensify the panic, leading to millions of refugees. In these conditions, the danger threatens the sparsely populated regions of Siberia, where not only the Chinese, but also the citizens of other Asian countries: Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand can come. Part of Siberia after a hypothetical cataclysm will be occupied peacefully, without the use of the army. As a result of the new “great migration of peoples”, Asians will settle in the Far East and Eastern Siberia, which threatens to lose control over these territories by the Russian state.
Uncontrolled migration can occur both as a result of hostilities and as a result of natural disasters. Conspiracy Theory If we assume that the Kremlin is an arena of power struggle between several players, then we can conditionally divide them into groups that reflect the interests of the United States, Europe and England (Israel). There are double and triple agents in the Russian government who work for several owners.
One can conditionally consider modern Russian politics as a struggle on the “Kremlin” platform of the main Western forces – the Rockefellers (Illuminati), Rothschilds (Templars) and the Vatican (Jesuits).
Putin initially arranged for all three groups and was an intermediary between them. After the war on 08/08/08, the Americans (Rockefellers) decided to stake on Medvedev and his United Russia (blue) to keep the communists (red) out of power. Imagine the surprise of the CIA when in 2012 Putin became president again. Who beat the Americans – Europeans (Jesuits) or Jews (Rothschilds)? Perhaps they worked together against America. Immediately there were shifts in the government. Serdyukov was replaced by Shoigu and began to strengthen the army.
Americans began to defame Putin, cut off Russia’s finances, imposed sanctions, began to prepare the Maidan and a coup d’etat. Putin asked the Pope, Italy, Monaco and Bavaria to intercede for him. The Pope agreed, but asked in return to “merge” the ROC into. The game is not over yet, although it is worth recalling that the Jews (Mossad), in addition to England and China, control Israel, Canada and Australia, that is, they have great economic and military potential. They want to transfer Siberia to China, but have not yet decided what to do with Russia’s atomic weapons.
Many are expecting some unpleasant events in America at the end of the year. As you know, passions in connection with the election of a new president are very tense there. As a result of some skillful provocation there can provoke a social explosion and civil war, which can trigger a crisis, destroy the old world system and create grounds for. This will lead to a series of those unpleasant events that are described in detail in the prophecies, but which still refuse to believe.
Conclusions
For the Russian perception of the threat of the coming Third World War, it is characteristic:
1) shapkozidatelstvo (“We will show them Kuskin’s mother!”),
2) ignoring (“Until the cock bites!”) And
3) fatalism (“What can be, it cannot be avoided!”) Or even complete misunderstanding of it in the pursuit of momentary needs and petty profit (“Let’s build another gas pipe to Europe!”).
Russia at the moment is completely disarmed and demoralized by liberal ideology and the propaganda of consumer values of the “free world”.The Russian elite is completely pro-Western, despite its ostentatious patriotism and “care” for the people and voters. In reality, the Russian elite is divided into three camps. Some for the Vatican project “Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok”, others for the dominance of the Washington Rockefeller regional committee, and others for the red Jewish project of the Rothschilds.
The only chance in a war with the West is an unconventional geoclimatic weapon, when cyclones, tsunamis and earthquakes are artificially provoked. But I don’t think that such projects are being carried out by the Russian military, most likely it is done by those who are waiting for the end of the world, who enjoy the death of millions and are glad of someone else’s misfortune.For example, it can be some kind of satanic sect or one of the many Western intelligence services.
It turns out that the West will destroy itself. If America is toppled by civil war and internal unrest, then Paris and Rome will be burned by rebellious French youth along with Arab migrants. Russia may lose Siberia and return to the borders of the Moscow principality of the era of Ivan the Terrible, a monument to which was recently erected in Kursk.
The media more and more often talk about riots in this or that corner of the world.Conflicts occur both at the level of gangster groups and between the heads of countries, and this is fraught with global military clashes. With the level of modern weapons, any war will be bloody and destructive, comparing it to the ground of the city, leaving wives as widows, orphans.
Some believe that World 3 has been going on for a long time and it is informational, when facts are distorted, half-truths are presented as true, and falsehood is presented as an alternative point of view. Slander is not as harmless as it seems at first glance in any country, on the basis of perjury, illegally convicted.
If a global intergovernmental conflict matures, everything may end in hostilities. So, will WW3 start in 2020? What do famous clairvoyants, psychics, monastics, astrologers of the present and past think about this?
In the twentieth century. Vanga was the most famous clairvoyant. Both ordinary people and the government elite came to her for advice. After her death, years later, scientists analyzed how accurately her predictions came true and it turned out that over 80% of what she predicted came true.According to researchers, this is a very high percentage, which speaks of Vanga’s undoubted prophetic gift.
Clairvoyant predictions for 2020:
Wanga said that from 2020 China will become a world superpower. Those countries that used to be leaders will fall into various economic dependencies, the standard of living of citizens in them will fall.
From 2020, trains on wires will rapidly rush towards the sun. The interpreters think that she was referring to the invention of some new engines powered by solar energy.
The clairvoyant warned about Syria, in which there will be a war. She will fall and this will be the beginning of World War III.
Wanga said that from 2020 around the world there will be no oil production and the land will rest.
The monk claimed that in 2020 the people of the Russian Federation will unite. He foreshadowed the beginning of the war this year. Abel believed that the dark time would last not much, not a little – 9 years.
Experts in our time argue how to decipher this or that quatrain of Nostradamus? The Prophet looked 5 centuries into the future.Reality has changed so much that it is no wonder that Nostradamus could not understand something, describe it incorrectly, make a mistake somewhere.
There are no definite dates in the quatrains, as the states are called, which are narrated, in the quatrains there are many allegories, but the researchers manage to guess what the prophet was talking about. This is especially true of key and significant events that have already taken place. Here is what lies ahead in the near and distant future:
Experts have deciphered that the prophet in 2020.predicted floods across Europe. What will cause them? Due to the downpours, which will pour, without stopping, 2 months. From one quatrain, where the enemy in red is mentioned, experts have concluded that the countries located by the seas of the oceans and whose flag has a red color will suffer more than others. This is Italy, with the Czech Republic, Hungary, with Montenegro, England.
At the beginning of June 2020, severe fires will break out across Russia. Before they are eliminated, the center will be burned out. Why is this going to happen? Due to the abnormal heat both in the Russian Federation and around the world.To hide from the stuffiness and heat, people will begin to move to permanent residence in the northern regions. There is another interpretation of incinerating rays. Researchers assure that one of the gangster groups from the Middle East will use chemical weapons.
In the East, an armed conflict will break out again, as a result of which many military and civilians will die. European leaders will act rashly and war will break out in several other countries. The conflict between those who profess Christianity of different confessions will also escalate.
3 world will cover the entire planet. Nostradamus believed that at that time Siberia would become the center of civilization. People from all over the world will come to live in Russia and the country, along with China, will be the strongest in the world.
How did Wolf Messing see the future?
It is a pity that no one wrote down the predictions after Messing. Prophecies have been lost because of this, and others have an unclear chronology, but researchers say there is something for 2020.
Will WW3 happen? Messing, believed that no, but he predicted various achievements and changes to mankind.
According to the prophet, America in 2020 will begin hostilities in the East. This will be the mistake of those in power. There will be a recession in the economy, tension among the people will increase. In addition, America will suffer from various natural disasters.
Taiwan, a natural disaster will befall Japan, but Messing did not specify what exactly would happen. Due to instability in the EU countries, the euro will fall.
Predictions of Matrona of Moscow
Many Orthodox believers revere Matrona of Moscow.Much was spiritually revealed to her. She knew that the house of the Romanovs would fall and in 1917 there would be a revolution.
The beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the Second World War, was also opened to mother. Researchers argue that her ominous prediction will touch our days and people will begin to die when there is officially no war, they will be alive in the evening, and in the morning everyone will be dead. Some researchers think that Matrona meant some kind of spiritual death of the people, others are inclined that such a number of sudden deaths indicate an earthquake or an atomic explosion.
Foresight of the future by Iona Odessa
A monastic elder, said that no one would attack Russia in the future. There is no need to fear aggression from the United States.
Batiushka claimed that World War III would begin to emerge in a country smaller in size than the Russian Federation. There, there will be internal unrest and civil war will break out. The Russian Federation, the United States and other countries will take part in it – this will be the beginning of World War III.
By the way, Archimandrite Jonah from Odessa claimed that he would die, it would take 1 year.and those woeful events will begin. Indeed, he died in December 2012. 1 year later, unrest began in Ukraine, there was a “Euro Maidan” …
The prediction of the astrologer Pavel Globa
Believes that Russia will not face anything more than sanctions in 2020. There is a “cold” war going on in the world.
The US and Europe will see an increase in the unemployment rate, their currencies will fall in value. In the world, the EU will no longer be as influential as it used to be.
Globa in 2020-2021does not foresee the 3rd world. Military clashes will continue to occur in certain countries.
Decline in the West, and during this period the Russian Federation will attract, rally and will influence the countries that were part of the USSR in the past. More and more natural disasters will arise in the world due to riots of nature and countries will support each other to the best of their ability.
The third world war in 2018 – The third world war military-political review
Five places where the third world war could start in 2018
Where and when will the Americans strike?
The recently forgotten threat of a third world war is again a topic of general discussion.A week ago, US and Russian military vehicles nearly collided in Syria. NATO is building up its military capabilities on the border with our country and is not going to give up its hostile rhetoric. What are the scenarios for a possible military conflict? It is necessary to think about this in order to prevent the not entirely adequate actions of our “Western partners”, who have long since turned back into “probable adversaries”.
Military analyst Valentin Vasilescu from Romania, a country at the forefront of NATO’s anti-Russian front, is trying to answer this question based on tactics characteristic of recent US military operations and the characteristics of the weapons used.On the pages of the English-language analytical center “Katehon”, he claims that the aggression of the United States and its allies against Russia is not at all an excluded scenario. The United States is obliged at any cost to stop Russia, which by its actions in Syria, and before that in Crimea and Ukraine, is changing the American-centric status quo. In order to maintain hegemony, the Americans are heading for a big war.
The main direction of the strike
According to Vasilescu, the main direction where the US strike can be expected is the western one.”The United States is not planning a landing in the Russian Far East; instead, like Napoleon and Hitler, the United States will seek to occupy the strategically important capital of the country, Moscow,” he summarizes. According to him, the goal of Euromaidan was initially to create a convenient base for aggression against Russia. Lugansk, the analyst notes, is located just 600 kilometers from Moscow. However, the plan of American aggression was thwarted after the reunification of Russia with Crimea and the creation of the people’s republics in eastern Ukraine.
After that, the plan of American aggression was revised, and the Baltic direction was chosen as a new zone of aggression.From the Latvian border to Moscow – all the same 600 kilometers, and to St. Petersburg and even closer. In order for the local population not to be outraged by the fact that their countries will soon be turned into a springboard for aggression, the American and local media and generals spoke in unison that the Baltic and Northern European countries are in danger of attack from Russia. In Norway, they even launched a series about the future Russian occupation.
In addition, the United States increased pressure on Sweden and Finland. They are not yet joining NATO, but US troops have already deployed.Moreover, in May 2016, the northern quintet – a meeting of the foreign ministers of Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Iceland – announced that an urgent need to neutralize the Russian threat. As a way out, they proposed defense cooperation between the Swedish-Finnish neutrals and NATO.
According to Valentin Vasilescu, the main task of NATO is to inflict a quick defeat on Russia, which will force the country’s political system to collapse. Pro-American agents of influence have been overthrown, Vladimir Putin, and the war can be considered won.Therefore, the United States will act according to Hitler’s logic, betting on blitzkrieg tactics. If Russia is defeated, NATO will occupy territories up to the line of St. Petersburg – Veliky Novgorod – Kaluga – Tver and Volgograd.
At the same time, as the expert notes, due to the rapid modernization of the Chinese army, which will pose a serious threat to the United States in the Pacific theater of operations, the Pentagon will not be able to throw all the necessary forces and means against Russia. At least a third of all US armed forces will have to concentrate in the Pacific region, awaiting a possible strike from the now allied China of Russia.
Probable time of strike
According to a military analyst, the US has a chance of success only if it invades before 2018. After 2018, the chances of success will significantly decrease, since after the completion of the rearmament of the Russian army begun under Sergei Shoigu, the Pentagon will lose its technological advantage in conventional weapons. And in order to win the war, you will have to resort to nuclear weapons – and this is a step towards mutual nuclear destruction.
War in the air – colossal losses
The main targets of the first wave of air raids will be Russian airfields and air defense systems.Russia is armed with high-quality fighters and mobile anti-aircraft systems capable of detecting and destroying even a fifth-generation American aircraft. Therefore, even with the support of NATO allies, the US military will not be able to achieve air superiority. With great effort, they can achieve temporary air superiority in some areas on the Russian border with a depth of 300 kilometers. In order to secure flights in areas where Russian air defense systems are actively operating, the Americans will be forced to throw at least 220 aircraft into the first wave of attack (including 15 B-2 bombers, 160 – F-22A and 45 – F-35).The B-2 can carry 16 GBU-31 laser-guided bombs (900 kg), 36 GBU-87 cluster bombs (430 kg) or 80 GBU-38 bombs (200 kg). The F-22A aircraft can carry 2 JDAM bombs (450 kg) or 8 bombs of 110 kg each.
A serious obstacle for the Americans will be the fact that the AGM-88E missiles, designed to combat air defense systems with a range of 160 kilometers, are too large to be loaded inside the F-22A and F-35s (4.1 m long and 1 m in height). If they are mounted on pylons, the vaunted “invisibility” of these aircraft will suffer.Previously, this problem did not arise, since in the past 20 years the United States has fought wars exclusively against opponents with outdated air defense systems.
As for the F-22A, most of them will be shot down. As the expert notes, the Pentagon reports indicate that the US military was satisfied with the results of the use of the F-117 (the first fifth-generation aircraft in the US Air Force) in Kuwait and Yugoslavia and intended to replace outdated models with new devices. The Pentagon planned to order 750 F-22As to replace the F-16s.However, Russia has developed a 96L6E radar capable of detecting American stealths. As a result, the Pentagon reduced the order to 339 F-22A aircraft. While the Americans were developing and testing these aircraft, Russia acquired S-400 complexes capable of detecting these aircraft. As a result, the US Air Force received only 187 F-22A aircraft.
In order to complicate the task of Russian air defense systems, the United States will fire more than 500-800 cruise missiles from ships and submarines in the Baltic Sea. Russian aircraft, primarily MiG-31 fighters, and air defense systems will be able to neutralize most of these missiles, the expert is sure, but this is not all that the Americans can use.
At the same time, the F-18, F-15E, B-52 and B-1B planes, being at a safe distance from the Russian border and not entering the S-400 range, will strike with AGM-mini cruise missiles. 154 or AGM-158, the range of which is up to 1000 kilometers. They can hit ships of the Russian Baltic Fleet and missile batteries of the Iskander and Tochka complexes. If successful, the Americans will be able to neutralize 30 percent of the Russian radar network, 30 percent of the S-300 and S-400 battalions deployed between Moscow and the Baltic countries, and 40 percent of the components of the automated reconnaissance, control, communications and target designation system, in addition, airfields will be damaged. the departure of more than 200 aircraft and helicopters will be blocked.
However, the expected losses of the Americans and their allies will amount to 60-70 percent of the aircraft and cruise missiles that will enter Russian airspace during the first wave of air raids and strikes.
But what will be the biggest obstacle to NATO air supremacy? According to the expert, these are effective means of electronic warfare.
We are talking about the Krasukha-4 complexes of the SIGINT and COMINT types. These systems can effectively wage electronic warfare against American tracking satellites Lacrosse and Onyx, ground and airborne radars (AWACS), including those deployed on RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft and Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk drones.
According to the expert, the electronic warfare systems in service with the Russian troops can effectively jam American bombs and missiles with laser, infrared and GPS guidance.
Also, Russia can create two zones on the border with the Baltic countries in the regions of St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad, impenetrable for enemy aircraft, combining air defense systems (S-400, Tor-M2 and Pantsir-2M) and electronic warfare.
Currently, 8 S-400 battalions are protecting the skies around the Russian capital, one is in Syria.In total, the Russian armed forces have 20-25 S-400 battalions. Some of them can be deployed to the western border along with 130 S-300 battalions, which can be upgraded and equipped with 96L6E radar, effectively detecting NATO stealth. An even more advanced air defense system, the S-500, is currently being tested, which will presumably go into service in 2017.
The author is sure that due to Russia’s advantage in electronic warfare means, NATO will not be able to achieve an advantage in electronic warfare.As a result, in the first wave of attacks against Russia, NATO troops will strike decoys in 60-70 percent of cases. Due to the high losses in the first wave of air strikes and the inability to achieve air superiority, the NATO Air Force will suffer high losses. The American group of 5,000 planes will be joined by their allies. But they will not be able to provide more than 1,500 aircraft.
War at sea
At sea, the Pentagon can deploy up to 8 aircraft carriers, 8 helicopter carriers, several dozen landing craft, missile carriers, destroyers and submarines.These forces can be joined by two Italian aircraft carriers and one aircraft carrier each from Spain and France. Russian anti-ship defense means – Kh-101 and NK Kalibr cruise missiles move at subsonic speed and can be neutralized at the initial stage of approach. It will be more difficult for NATO to cope with the P-800 Onyx and P-500 Basalt missiles. And finally, in 2018, the Russian fleet will enter service with the “aircraft carrier killer” – the 3M22 “Zircon” missile, capable of traveling at hypersonic speed at low altitudes.”The United States will not be able to oppose anything to this means,” the expert concludes.
Superiority in armored vehicles
Currently in service with the Russian army, the samples of armored vehicles – T-90 and T-80 tanks and modernized versions of T-72 tanks, Vasilescu notes, correspond to NATO counterparts. According to the expert, only the BMP-2 and BMP-3 are inferior to the American M-2 Bradley.
However, the new Tank T-14 “Armata” has no analogues in the world. In all respects, it surpasses the German Leopard-2, the American M1A2 Abrams, the French AMX 56 Leclerc, and the British Challenger 2.The same can be said about the T-15 and Kurganets-25 BMPs and the new VPK-7829 Boomerang amphibious armored personnel carrier. After 2018, Russia will have the most modern armored vehicles, which will radically change the balance of power on the battlefield.
During the Gulf War and the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the United States used mobile groups of tanks, vehicles, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles to break into enemy defenses. The actions of these groups in Russia will need to be supported by massive airborne operations. And here an unpleasant surprise awaits them.If against the Russian air defense systems “Pantsir” and “Tunguska”, as well as against MANPADS “Igla” and “Strela”, American combat helicopters and aircraft can use the AN / ALQ-144/147/157 electronic warfare system, then against MANPADS 9K333 “Verba”, which entered service with the Russian troops in 2016, this equipment is powerless.
Homing sensors “Verba” are capable of operating simultaneously at three frequencies in the visible and infrared spectra. “Verba” can work in conjunction with the “Barnaul-T” system, which is responsible for electronic reconnaissance, electronic warfare and automatic control of amphibious forces.”Barnaul-T” neutralizes the radar of enemy aircraft and interferes with the operation of laser guidance systems for missiles and bombs of the enemy.
As can be seen from the above analysis, even now a war with the use of conventional weapons can cost our western adversaries dearly. The rearmament of the Russian army, which will take place by 2018, will completely eliminate the West’s technological advantage in the military sphere. The more ready, powerful and equipped our Armed Forces are, the less likely it will be that the West will decide on an open war against Russia.
World War III military political review
90,000 Review of Minari, which received six Oscar nominations
Lee Isaac Chun’s semi-autobiographical drama Minari, which tells the story of a Korean family trying to build their own farm in the USA in the 1980s, is being released in Russia. The tape has received six Oscar nominations – including it is claiming the prize for Best Picture. One of the main roles in the film is played by Stephen Young, the star of the TV series “The Walking Dead” and the thriller “Burning” based on a story by Haruki Murakami.The film critic of Gazeta.Ru Pavel Voronkov tells how Minari bypasses Chloe Zhao’s “Land of the Nomads” – and what he says about the American dream.
Writing a review of the film in the context of the upcoming Oscar is probably not the most far-sighted decision: the Oscar will pass, but the film, God forbid, will remain. But the conversation about “Minari” is tempting to start from the opposite – from her neighbor in the nominations (by the way, there are also six of them). Like Lee Isaac Chun’s quivering drama, “Land of the Nomads” Chloe Zhao is greedy for philosophical contemplation, adheres to a leisurely rhythm and basks in piano minimalism.And he also talks about the (next) crisis of the American dream.
On the way, declaring its insolvency, the picture evicts the heroine Frances McDormand from her home and sends her on a journey without a destination. The nomad vagabonds she meets, owners of tiny vans and big hearts, are characters incredibly distant from the people from the postcard, where a happy family has a barbecue in the backyard. It turns out that our own fortress is not really required: our roof is the blue sky, our happiness is to live such a fate.

In “Minari” there is also a house on wheels, but it remains real estate, and the heroes are disappointed in the ideals, vaguely formulated almost a century ago, stubbornly trying to translate them into reality. There are four of them: Jacob Lee (Stephen Young from The Walking Dead and The Burning One ), his wife Monica (Han Yori ), daughter Anne (Noel Keith Cho ) and son David (Alan Kim ).The family moves from California to Arkansas – and with savings from sorting chickens in a hatchery, they buy a trailer in the middle of a huge field. Aspiring to the status of a true self-maid, Jacob wants to set up a farm here and grow Korean vegetables to sell to other immigrants. However, the task turns out to be not an easy one: the well is greedy for water, Dallas resellers can cancel the order at the last moment, the children do not get along well with their grandmother Sunja (incomparable Yoon Yeojon ) brought from Korea.
If we close our eyes to the lack of smartphones and the mention of Ronald Reagan, in the 80s Minari it is easy to identify the United States of the 2020s, where populist promises to return the country to its “former greatness” are still echoing, although Trump’s party did not really lead anyone to the triumph of capitalism. The American Dream assumes that everyone can achieve absolute success through hard work, regardless of background and social status. But in fact, he cannot (certainly not everyone), and in the process there are great chances of losing everything, getting lost in crooked priorities, forgetting about one’s own identity.
By all accounts, Jacob is the perfect cog in this system. He is ready to work tirelessly, just to bloom the Garden of Eden from his dreams about something greater. However, Jacob’s success is based on the monetization of the homesickness of his compatriots. The unnaturalness, dishonesty of this scheme seems to become the poison, because of which the Arkansas soil rejects Korean agricultural crops.

Plan B Entertainment
Yong’s character (in the actor’s filmography a curious leitmotif with burning sheds emerges) – not with such radical zeal, but still – wanders along the path trodden by the hero of “Synonyms” Nadav Lapid.The local Yoav, after moving from Israel to Paris, tried to kill a Jew in himself and become one hundred percent French: he completely refused Hebrew and communication with relatives, on the street he forbade himself to stare at the architecture, as if he had come in large numbers. A similar desire for assimilation encompasses not the wisest half of the Lee family. Little David whips Mountain Dew and disgustedly declares that Grandma “smells like Korea.” Jacob himself forces relatives to go to church on Sundays with the rest of the townspeople, although he looks with skepticism at his deeply religious neighbor Paul (Will Patton ).
As a result, Lee Isaac Chun’s semi-autobiographical tape turns out to be much more honest than The Land of the Nomads, which never dares to go all the way in its attempts to criticize capitalism and shows work in the Amazon sorting shop with dubious fondness. “Minari” manages to tell the Americans more about themselves in Korean (for this at the last Golden Globes) the film was expelled into a foreign category than Zhao’s entire film shot in English. Yes, and with appeasement, which is already there, copes better.Instead of the functional pathos of Ludovico Einaudi (no nomination), there is a touching score by Emile Mosseri from The Dig (there is a nomination). In the frame, strange people all the time want something, scurry, quarrel, get sick and recover. At some distance from this madness, near the forest stream that attracted the grandmother, the minari grass grows for itself (she is a recumbent omezhnik), reminding of the eternal.
