As with all things Ukraine, when the initial reports of the Russian cruise missile attack against the military training facility located near the border with Poland, we said to be cautious about western reporting of no NATO military personnel present, killed or injured.
The reason is for the warning was simple – if NATO is providing weapons and training, they’ve got to be doing the distribution and training somewhere in Ukraine near the NATO border. Conduct war operations in a war zone, and you run the risk of war outcomes.
Now the Daily Mail is beginning to report on ‘missing, feared dead’ former British special forces operators likely killed in the blast. As the story evolves, how long will it be before U.S. headlines carry similar missing U.S. “contractor” stories?
Most of the U.S. and NATO warfighting is carried out by independent contractors or mercenary groups now. Ukraine is the perfect battlespace for that unofficial type of war fighter engagement.
(Daily Mail) – Three British former special forces soldiers are feared to have been killed in a Russian airstrike near the Polish border. More than 30 Russian cruise missiles targeted the Yavoriv base yesterday, killing as many as 180 people.
Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for Russia’s ministry of defence, said the base was struck by ‘long-range, high-precision’ weapons because it was hosting ‘foreign mercenaries and a large shipment of foreign weapons’.
He added: ‘The destruction of foreign mercenaries who arrived on the territory of Ukraine will continue.’
Konashenkov said up to 180 people had been killed in the strike, though Ukraine initially said 35 people died and another 134 were wounded.
But a source told The Mirror today: ‘There were many more killed within the site than has been claimed and bodies are still being found.
[…] ‘This is extremely sensitive as there are believed to be no serving British military personnel inside Ukraine as politically that would be extremely controversial.’
[…] A Ukrainian officer said there were around 1,000 foreigners at the camp – officially known as the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security – at the time. (read more)
“1,000 foreigners” at the military camp, and we are supposed to believe none of them were American?
There’s a big motive to keep any American or British death quiet, because it would undermine the official narrative being broadcast by western media. All of these mercenary soldiers know they are operating in an unofficial capacity in order to provide western government with plausible deniability. That is the risk that “contracted” war fighters assume when they take the very generous money offered. It’s a mess.
Keep watching.
Give it twelve hours and they’ll likely be telling us about dead US operators
All killed were found to have died from a release from Soviet era biolabs, not from precision Russian missiles.
The Pentagon will be on shortly to correct the record and remind the press that Russian weapon systems are strictly off limits for any discussion.
DON’T believe the Pentagon, nor the MSM!!!! In the end, we are going to find out that NATO, the US Govt (DS: Deep State), CIA + Pentagon are run by the NWO-CABAL.
= FACT.
Russia has PROOF that the “Black Hats” in Ukraine + elsewhere (30 other nations, Poland is one) had/have LETHAL BioWeapons Labs, Storage Facilities, Child Sex-Human Organ, Illegal Weapons + Illegal Drug Trafficking sites + networks thruout Ukraine + these other countries.
INTEL DROPS, PROOF IS COMING SOON!!!!
=> EXPOSE THE CABAL!!!!
=> ALL GOING DOWN!!!!!
=> JUSTICE 4the CABAL!!!!
=> NUREMBURG 2.0!!!!!
Gee … were similar pictures available to MSM during the Obama-Biden 2014 Russia/Ukrainian War ?
American children being killed in Ukraine
Pardon me for being ignorant if I am, but why would anyone, from any nation or allegiance, offer themselves up without a fight? It doesn’t make sense in terms of war.
And still…no one offering dialogue about the money? Are we forbidden to discuss?
I’m sure challenging the FJB Administration actions in Ukraine will be another “extremist” view that the Dept of Homeland Security will tell the FBI to arrest us for.
Been going on for centuries. Money, adventure, a chance to pit ones skill again other fighters, insanity, boredom.
So greed and mental instability, over patriotism? That’s how it looks.
This is a made for TV war created by the USA. This isn’t about poor pitiful Ukraine being attacked by the big bad bear. Not that I don’t feel sorry for the citizens, but this war isn’t what most people think it is.
1000 up votes!
Correct … and a very interesting dynamic … the war of words between the Russian/Ukrainian Religious Leaders.
Ukraine was part of the former USSR. When it disbanded + various provinces became separate nations, each had to legally, contractually ESTABLISH ITS OFFICIAL BORDERS + SIGN THAT BINDING CHARTER or CONTRACT w/Russia and/or possibly the EU.
From what I have read, Ukraine NEVER signed that charter or statement, thereby, never officially separating itself from Russia.
This must be determined. I will either establish Ukraine’s sovereignty or its forfeiture of it.
Recall Benghazi where the Ovomit Administration went round & round about sending in MORE troops to “rescue” an American diplomat & military personnel & eventually did nothing to save anyone.
We have had military teams teaching Ukraine military to fight & use defensive military equipment for yrs. They’re not really supposed to be there.
Congressional members of both houses & both political parties pose for pictures with the Ukraine & U.S. military.
Calling them “mercenaries” is pretty cute. It doesn’t really matter. They’re dead no matter what you call them if they’re killed in these Russian attacks.
To Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney that’s the best kind of children to be killed!
I was being sarcastic because they always use “the children”, but you are spot on.
Please explain?
No sympathy for these clowns either.
To expound on your comment…Give it 12 hours and Russia will dox the mercenaries…just like they did with the biolab evidence. B*den’s about to take another hit. Bad enough he’s a proven liar to US citizens. Now he’s a repeated, doxed worldwide liar.
FAKE SULLIVAN: “The president has been clear repeatedly that the United States will work with our allies to defend every inch of NATO territory, and that means every inch.”
And not one inch of America’s.
in other words, NATO IS a predatory offensive coalition bent on dominating the world!
Eerm, coff coff — are you, Mr Fake Sullivan, suggesting that the Ukraine is NATO territory? That would be why this combat training centre is full of mercenaries whose govts, UK + US, are *not* actually prepared to admit they, too, have invaded sovereign territory. Hence the ‘sensitivity’ of the matter. The Brit army CO in Poland claimed they had taken leave without permission. The Brits I think understand how serious it is to declare war on Russia. Not Mr Jake however! Excelling as usual with impressive thinking skills and mastery, he jumps in on all four feet to claim some “inches” that are not his to claim. Genius move! The US has now declared war on Russia.
Good job I just heard that the Pentagon took exception to the idea of sending troops and said, literally though not word for word, “Go pound sand. We don’t take orders from Puppet Presidents!” I suspect we may find out something along these lines SOON!!
Hey DC UniParty and your globalist pals . . .
No CSA soldiers in the photo, unless one is dressed as a spy
Figures. That is a recent photo release from today’s Woke Pentagon.
I listening to Fox news in the background as I’m reading. Hannity has Rubio come on. Rubio had to actually tamper down Hannity’s war mongering. Hannity wants to send over everything, including the proverbial kitchen sink, to the insurgents. Hannity then thinks the Ukes can win. Surprisingly, Rubio outlines possible consequences.
I noticed that also. I don’t particularly like Mr. Hannity (something about his voice and presentation). I always watch Tucker Carlson however. I expected Tucker to be more subdued tonight (Monday on FNN) but he pretty much was his usual self for which I am thankful. Great long time respect for Mr. Carlson from me: honest, interesting, smart, willing to put himself out there and apologize if ever incorrect plus great guests.
Hannity is a puppet and a shill.
And shrill!
well he’s not perfect, but at least he’s sincere.
insincerity is everything that’s wrong with our nation. we’ve become a dishonest people
He is pathological.
Well, he’s just mad that Tucker has the #1 show.
Hannity is not as honest as you think. I has been recently reported that he was secretly messaging former Fox colleague working for Trump to have him give up . Then he acted another way on air.
Anyone who has the traitor Lindsey Graham on continuously is not to be trusted.
these neocon warmongers think Russia won’t use thermo-nuclear weapons. they think war with Russia will be like Iraq, Syria, afghan. Their lust for war is insatiable. they will be the death of us, along with the children in the congress & whitewashed house.
I stopped listening to Hannity long ago on radio, longer than that on TV, but he used to brag about his martial arts prowess so maybe he should put his money where his mouth is and hop a flight:)
Hannity is as thick as a brick in this instance.
I blame Skynet.
We were told decades ago that war would soon be a process of computers and robots fighting computers and robots.
Except why would the American taxpayers care in the slightest, or give a nickel to pay for such a war?
George Carlin had a joke about a man who had barricaded himself in his home. He was unarmed, and had no hostages, so the police were not paying the slightest attention.
Why should we care about this war?
The other recurring trope, is that these bogus problems must occur far, far away, so no one can actually check, and only fake or staged pictures or news will appear.
Wars must be fought in Afghanistan or Ukraine.
Global warming only happens at the North Pole.
There is an island of plastic garbage, floating in the Pacific. Leftists and environmentalists (same thing) believe this passionately. Look up this fantasy and marvel at the absence of actual photos.
Look up Prester John while you’re at it.
They kept the Crusades going for centuries on rumors.
Wars and rumors of war. The human condition.
I agree except there is an island of plastic floating in the Pacific. I have seen many pictures and videos of it. Also I have seen in person huge amounts that have been collected by the ocean clean up , can tell it’s been in water for a long time .
Also I have spent many years living in SE Asia ,all the trash I see floating down the river has to end up somewhere
My naive understanding is that the cooperative threat reduction program was intended to decommission and reduce the risk of soviet block WMDs from getting misused. Yet, we see that there’s been mission creep.
In looking at the Ukrainian Programs (UPs), it seems there is active research into all sorts of new disease vectors. They are looking at animals as disease vectors. And I think the UP-8 program involved monitoring human exposure to novel antigens in the field. That needs to be examined closely. Why would they be doing this? How do these new activities fit with the purpose of the threat reduction program?
They LIED. There was NEVER any intention of DESTROYING the pathogens, it doesn’t take 17 years to destroy them.
They have been using these biolabs to conduct RESEARCH, “dual use” technology, with both military and civilian applications.
They may have originally justified it as “our enemies (including terroristsand rogue nations may use these weopons on us, so we need to first like them weoponise these viruses, and then try to develop countermeasures (vaccines).
But “Vaccines? Did you say VACCINES? Big pharma has experience making vaccines, very PROFITABLE.
China has been “hit” over a # of years with bird flu wiping out chicken crops, swine flu wiping out pork,..were these bioweopons attacks carried out by the U.S.?
If there are Americans in there you know they are not black water so that means they are dirty C_A contractors and they can be removed like any dirty (Soldier of fortune) contractors.

Blackwater Guards Fired at Fleeing Cars, Soldiers Say
“Blackwater USA guards shot at Iraqi civilians as they tried to drive away from a Baghdad square on Sept. 16, according to a report compiled by the first U.S. soldiers to arrive at the scene, where they found no evidence that Iraqis had fired weapons.
“It appeared to me they were fleeing the scene when they were engaged. It had every indication of an excessive shooting,” said Lt. Col. Mike Tarsa, whose soldiers reached Nisoor Square 20 to 25 minutes after the gunfire subsided.
<b>His soldiers’ report — based upon their observations at the scene, eyewitness interviews and discussions with Iraqi police — concluded that there was “no enemy activity involved” and described the shootings as a “criminal event.” Their conclusions mirrored those reached by the Iraqi government, which has said the Blackwater guards killed 17 people.
Tarsa said they found no evidence to indicate that the Blackwater guards were provoked or entered into a confrontation. “I did not see anything that indicated they were fired upon,” said Tarsa, 42, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division. He also said it appeared that several drivers had made U-turns and were moving away from Nisoor Square when their vehicles were hit by gunfire from Blackwater guards.”

Blackwater Is Soaked
“The colonel was furious. “Can you believe it? They actually drew their weapons on U.S. soldiers.”
The colonel, who was involved in a follow-up investigation and spoke on the condition he not be named, said the Blackwater guards disarmed the U.S. Army soldiers and made them lie on the ground at gunpoint</b> until they could disentangle the SUV. His account was confirmed by the head of another private security company.
One military contractor, who spoke anonymously for fear of retribution in his industry, recounted the story of a Blackwater operative who answered a Marine officer’s order to put his pistol on safety when entering a base post office by saying, “This is my safety,” and wiggling his trigger finger in the air. “Their attitude was, ‘We’re f—ing security; we don’t have to answer to anyone”
When you site articles from the NY compost (C_A) mouthpiece and MSNBC I would not give it a thought because they have absolutely no credibility.
If you followed the trial of the contractors the contractors were driven into an ambush.
there’s an “I” in _I_
Not saying the link provided is “the cruise missile used”. Just wanted to provide some frame of reference for folks who may not understand that the Russians DO have land attack cruise missile capabilities that are every bit as capable as the US or other “Western Nations” and allot of these missiles to launch.
Historically, what the Russians may give away in sophistication vs a “Western” design they often make up in simplicity and practicality making their systems easier to deploy, more mobile and cheaper.
Bottom line, the Russians are not some mob equipped with WWII and Korean War vintage junk. This missile is nearly the equivalent of the US Tomahawk Missile.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3M-54_Kalibr
The Russian domestic variant (3M54T / 3M54K) and export variants (3M54TE/3M54KE) fly at sub-sonic speeds while achieving supersonic speed (2.9 Mach) as they near their target. They are also capable of performing very high angled defensive high speed maneuvers in contrast to the common linear flight path of other anti-ship cruise missiles.
Serious business. It’s all Fun ‘N War Games until you’re on the receiving end of one of those Bad Larrys.
The high speed of the supersonic version likely gives it better target-penetration characteristics than lighter subsonic cruise-missiles, such as BGM-109 Tomahawk. Being twice as heavy and almost four times as fast as Tomahawk, the Zircon has more than 32 times the on-cruise kinetic energy of a Tomahawk missile (~972 megajoules, or equal to 232 kg TNT expolosive energy). Its 2.9 mach speed means that it cannot be intercepted by existing missile defence systems and its precision makes it lethal to medium targets as destroyer.
High speed pop up not good for SAM radars.
actually, Russian rocketry tech surpasses US’s. The rest doesn’t matter as long as they attack explosives and deliver it to the target.
Yea, but can they hit what they aim it? I doubt it.
Russian artillery is arguably their best weapon. What it lacks in precision it makes up for with overwhelming firepower.
By contrast, Turkish drones have focused on artillery batteries since the invasion began, launching precision-guided strikes.
It remains to be seen if massed armor and artillery can prevail against counterattack by drones and MANPADs.
These weapons are very high precision. Look at the description of this attack somewhere more technical than the Daily Mail and you will see the targets were accurate to a fine degree.
The Intelligence Community media will spin American/NATO contractor deaths as NGO humanitarian volunteers.
Happens all the time in this day and age.

“Most of the U.S. and NATO war fighting is carried out by independent contractors or mercenary groups now. “
Come on now. You know full well that our own troops are far too busy receiving training in the most important things for our national security like CRT, Wokeness and LGBTQLMNOPXYZ to spend any of their time doing that.
Everyone can rest assured, and breath easier, knowing that great men like Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin will never be risked in any kind of war zone.
Don’t leave out “The Great American” Sean Vannity. 🤣
Anyone who fights for the NWO deserves to die. They have betrayed humanity and serve the devil. They sold their souls, and their mortal death, no matter how awful, will be nothing compared to the damnation that awaits them after their worthless flesh rots under the shallow grave of wreckage of what remains of the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security
You are cold, and mistaken. Seriously, you need to look a long look in the mirror and get psychological help.
Wait – are you defending the people fighting for the NWO? The lives of millions of people are at stake here. They have already killed millions in the last two years.
Unfortunately military training hardwires in NOT questioning your orders, focus on the mission, go where pointed.
And patriotic men and women have done that, for the 65 years I have lived, dieing, suffering horrific life changing physical wounds, and psychological wounds as well.
And I am not at all sure ANY of that was in MY “best interests”, or in “Americas best interest”.
WE were LIED to, about every war and their sacrifice was made a mockery, by the corrupt leaders who sent them out to fight and die, for the most repugnant of reasons.
IMHO,..
Poor bastards, they deserved what they got. FA FO. Time for someone to take out Z. That will bring this house of cards down.
When Russia identifies passports from the nato mercs in Ukraine, are those countries now at war with Russia?
And just like that, foreign conscription plummeted.
Every contractor prostitute that dies in Ukraine is one less for the Deep State to use in the next American revolution.
The MSM has been really quiet about China backing Russia. *crickets*
Saw a mercenary soldier on Greg Kelly on Newsmax. He’s a purple heart recipient out there supposedly training Ukrainian troops.
Look for the Azov patches.
The wolfangel.
If their face is blacked out, they are American trainers.
“Yeah, but they’re “former” special forces members, so we didn’t really mean anything by it”. 🙄
Stolen elections have consequences. Do they ever.
The Brits were reportedly using Lviv as a training facility to drill Ukrainian soldiers in the use of Next Generation Light Anti-tank weapons. The U.K. sent Ukraine 2,000 of these shoulder-fired weapons for use against Russian armor.

Much of the warmongering focused on Western Ukraine is bluster & bombast. The Russians will not be invading that region. Instead, they seem to be continuing to reinforce their hold on their original target area in the Southeast. Once that is complete this
war“military exercise” will be over. Ukraine will have a new border and Russia will have its “land bridge” to Crimea.Locals from a village near Balka, Eastern region, explain how retreating Uke forces are attacking civilians, destroying property and leaving behind a trail of devastation.
“Uke forces are attacking civilians, destroying property and leaving behind a trail of devastation.”
AKA “Scorched Earth Strategy”.
Russians used this method to good effect against Napoleon’s invading army.
It’s one thing to lay waste to the land in a hasty retreat.
It’s quite another to target unarmed locals on the way out.
(Ukraine officials would love to have some SAM 3s.
More goodies to auction off in their black market.)
I find the whole ‘corporatization’ of independent contractors or mercenary groups (private armies) terrifying. Probably one of the biggest threats we face today, in reality. Many people from Canada to Australia have spoken about militarized police brutalizing peaceful demonstrators, who are not local law enforcement …
Not sure but today on RT they are airing a blurb of Zelinsky assuring the Ukrainian people the country will be rebuilt as soon as the war is over.
My guess is he’s been busy planning how to spend that $13 billion Congress plans to hand him.
I’m surprised the former comedian didn’t say he’d build back a better Ukraine….
UK Defense Ministry to consider sending Mach 3+ SAMs to Ukraine.
This may seem like a risky business but it is good strategy. Russian Blackjack bombers have been nibbling at British airspace and a Mach 3+ MANPAD positioned on the European continent would likely give them pause about probing any deeper.
https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/defence-notes/uk-weighing-up-supplying-starstreak-anti-air-missi/
They become ‘former” after they are confirmed dead (or captured). Apparently they hit an alphabet hive. Sad these great warriors are pushed to spend themselves in this vain cause.
Confirming earlier reports, UK will send Starstreak missiles to Ukraine.
https://continental-defence.com/britain-to-provide-starstreak-manpads-to-ukraine
Now that Ukraine has been well supplied with antitank weapons from England and US, anti artillery drones from Turkey and Surface-to-Air missiles from the UK, Russian losses of armor, artillery and jet aircraft will mount rapidly.
Will be hard to get them across the borders and in the field. The Russkies have twenty eyes in those borders. More of NATO’s resources (including humans) will be lost trying to get the equipment across than in fighting inland.
The drones are too small to leave a radar signature. The MANPADS are light enough to be carried by a lone soldier and can be deployed forward on a motorcycle.
The Starstrike is best utilized by a team of three men. The whole kit-n-kaboodle would fit in an SUV or small truck.
The material is already in the war zone or will be smuggled through the Baltic countries aligned with NATO.
Interdicting these weapons will prove to be nearly impossible under wartime conditions.
Here is Michael Yon’s take on what a Javelin can do to armor or aircraft:
https://michaelyon.com/featured-dispatches/ukraine-russian-armor-vs-javelin-missiles/
Never before I remember the American people to be so cynical and untrusting of our own government.
They blatantly lie to us and we just “let them”.
they steel a national election and we just “let them”.
they imprison political opponents and we just “let them”.
this will not end well.
I kind of liked ‘ol Bear Grylls, especially eating carrion. Oh well, c’est ls vie! 😱😎✌️
I am glad to see former and current special ops guys and gals helping to stop the carnage. Unlike the majority of American pussies who run and hide, as evidenced by a recent poll, these patriots move to the fight. America’s days are numbered as a force to be reckoned with in the world.
The guy in the video is apparently from Georgia USA as he later refers to “another America”, plus UK guy. He’s saying don’t go and fight in Ukraine. It’s a trap. They won’t let you leave.
Professional mercs probably smelled a trap from a long ways off and didn’t go.
But the amateurs probably thought this was going to a grand old crusade like the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War and written about by Hemingway.
Why would anyone be dumb enough to trust a government which runs Neo-Nazi militias to be fair and honest in their treatment of foreign ‘volunteers’?
Well, it appears this guy isn’t American. He is on another Telegram channel which id’s him as British. Who knows….

Nothing by the US/NATO is what it should be! They are hell-bent on taking Russia down, eliminating Putin so that a puppet can be installed, ruled/owned! The US however, is floundering in very deep water & looks like it can’t swim.
