Re: Meanwhile in Ukraine
Two takeaways.
1. The Russians expected an easy win. They had exiled pro-Russian Ukrainian politrucks accompanying the front units when they rolled in. They were expected to be greeted like liberators. Those politruks have now abandoned the cause.
This is a Russian Bay of Pigs. They started to believe their own propaganda. No one wanted to bring Putin bad news so all he got was reports that confirmed his beliefs.
Eric Weinstein was right when he said we need to understand Kayfabe. Ukraine just broke kayfabe. Russia had no plan for that and are now stuck along the roads in the beginning of rasputitsa.
2. The US has become the Sick Man of the West. It's on it's last legs. Europe is learning to do without it. This might kill NATO as the EU has it's Mutual Defence Clause to fall back upon for security.
Germany deciding to rearm is going to change the power dynamics of Europe. The EU will probably decide to become independent both of Russian oil and gas, and of US military alliance as both have proven to be liabilities.

Re: Meanwhile in Ukraine
speaking of that
they have apparently deployed every available military truck in their inventory to Ukraine already
they can't increase the number of troops in the operation
because they don't have any more trucks to supply them with
they actually have a shortage of trucks for the troops they have deployed now
they are already using civilian pattern vehicles being brought in on trains to try to make up the shortfall

And this is what I was worried about, it sounds like a misdirection...C-Mag wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:30 pmBREAKING: Russia publishes documents which show Ukraine was working on biological weapons near russian borders — such as Anthrax and Plague & that the pentagon has instructed to destroy them — violating article 1 UN prohibition of biological weapons. — These are US funded labs

Who here would care at this point if it was proven that the US and Ukraine were developing Bioweapons in violation of Article 1 of the UN bioweapon prohibition ?

his is somewhat misleading. Those labs were all once part of the USSR antiplague stations. Indeed- the claim then was that the USSR was working on bioweapons. The money sent by the US in 2005 was to secure live viruses. Sourcing correctly the claims made is important.

Re: Meanwhile in Ukraine
Yes. They got helmets, vests and lots of field rations as well. At least they will be eating well. Unlike the Russians who have been issued expired, rancid rations. Hence all the looting.Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 6:23 amthe Ukrainians have apparently received 5,000 AT4's from Sweden

Re: Meanwhile in Ukraine
The AT4 can be used as a mine as well.
