Proxy War Update, Russia Targeting U.S. Military Equipment Arriving in Ukraine, Apparently with Some Success

It doesn’t sound like a very complex military strategy on the part of Russia actually.  As the U.S. weapons convoys are pushed from Western Ukraine toward Eastern Ukraine (Donbas region) the Russians identify the locations and blow them up with cruise missiles.

It remains difficult to locate solid reporting on the ongoing Ukraine conflict, but somewhere between the western media disinformation about the heroic efforts to fight back – and the Russian claims of advanced success in the region, the truth must exist.  The challenge is finding the accurate information.

According to Reuters, “Russia’s defense ministry on Saturday said it had destroyed a large stockpile of military equipment from the United States and European countries near the Bohodukhiv railway station in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. The ministry said it had hit 18 Ukrainian military facilities overnight, including three ammunition depots in Dachne, near the port city of Odesa.”  France24 seems to confirm this report.

Additionally, as to the Eastern Ukraine Alamo known as the Azovstal steel plant in the port city of Mariupol, it now appears all of the women and children (human shields) have been able to escape the facility and now the Russians will collapse the remaining Azov Battalion opposition. “Before the UN-led evacuation, about 200 civilians, including children, were estimated to still be trapped in the Soviet-era tunnels and bunkers beneath the factory, along with a group of Ukrainian soldiers making a last stand.” (link)

Yahoo News – “US President Joe Biden announces a new $150 million weapons package to Ukraine, including artillery munitions and radar, while urging Congress to pass a $33 billion aid package including $20 billion in military aid.

The new batch brings the total value of US weaponry sent by the Biden administration to Ukraine — including heavy artillery, shoulder-held Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and drones — to $3.8 billion since Russia invaded on February 24, says Secretary of State Antony Blinken.” (link)

WHITE HOUSE – […] With today’s announcement, my Administration has nearly exhausted funding that can be used to send security assistance through drawdown authorities for Ukraine. For Ukraine to succeed in this next phase of war its international partners, including the U.S., must continue to demonstrate our unity and our resolve to keep the weapons and ammunition flowing to Ukraine, without interruption. Congress should quickly provide the requested funding to strengthen Ukraine on the battlefield and at the negotiating table. (LINK)

The Washington Post reports, ” Biden has requested an additional $33 billion in Ukraine aid, nearly two-thirds of which would be dedicated to security spending. Kirby has said that package should carry Ukraine through another five months of fighting. Congress has not yet approved the funding, and there are concerns about how quickly defense contractors would be able to meet the government’s demands to replenish U.S. stockpiles to ship Ukraine what it needs.

“This is pretty unprecedented, the amount of munitions that are being used right now,” the Pentagon’s acquisition chief, Bill LaPlante, told reporters Friday. […] International leaders appear to be bracing for an extended period of conflict, warning on Friday that the global threats posed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could metastasize in the weeks and months ahead. European Union foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell told the Associated Press that he is “very much worried” Russia could try to invade Moldova, which borders Ukraine to the west.  (LINK)

It’s pretty obvious when you look at the contradictions that much of the Western media reporting is propaganda.  How could Russia be getting their butts kicked, and yet simultaneously gaining ground leading to western leaders saying more military hardware is urgently needed and the fighting will likely last a long time.  The two narratives carry a lot of contradiction.

It looks like Vladimir Putin’s military is simply playing whac-a-mole by destroying U.S. heavy weapons shipments as they arrive.  We send in artillery pieces; Russia blows them up in convoys or on railroad trains.

Everything is essentially guesswork at this time, but it doesn’t look like Russia is losing.

The western propaganda is extremely thick.  Much of the western effort is U.S. psychological operations, run from the Dept of State, using pictures and images to keep Americans supporting the proxy war.

Now that the Afghanistan military equipment disposal site has been closed and $85 billion worth of military hardware left behind, send thousands of $100,000 to $200,000 EACH weapons to be wasted by untrained or inadequately trained Ukrainian operators or destroyed or captured by Russians. What a deal.

US reports shortage of Javelins, Stingers after Ukraine aid
Blumenthal and other members of Congress have called for the Biden administration to invoke the Defense Production Act, otherwise ‘we will run out.’

Stingers and javelins are almost useless. This will end up being a long-range missile war. If all the Ukrainians have are Javelins, then Russia will have all armor behind infantry outside Javelin range. the Russian armor will still be able to hit Ukrainian positions.

Looking at maps and troop movements it looks more like a live fire training mission practicing the art of maneuver. NATO has no military response capability so there is no rush.

We are entering the era of the advanced V2 that can direct hit a target.

It’s pretty clear that you have no military background or experience. Ukrainians have already demonstrated that they can repel multiple Russian assaults over wide areas armed with Stinger, Javelin, and other so-called “useless” weapons. These weapons are more than a match for anything the Russians have. Imagine what will happen when Ukraine get its hands on the heavy armor and artillery that is being shipped to them now. I go to bed at night praying that God be merciful to the soldiers on both sides of this war. The Russians especially are in a no-win situation.

Whew… Russia is not losing and has in fact achieved its objectives. You’ve clearly drank the narrative cool aid. Here’s what happened:
Russia invoked Article 51 of the UN Charter in order to protect Russian speaking Ukrainian citizens in Ukraine’s Donbas region from being shelled by their own government. This had been happening for about 8 years. In 2012 the Minsk agreement had been signed between the region and Ukrainian government and guaranteed by France. In 2014 a coup happened and Zelinsky was installed afterwards. The Minsk agreement was no longer honored. A couple of days before Russia invaded, the intensity of shelling greatly increased in order to provoke this manufactured conflict. Russia is protecting Russian speaking Ukrainians from their own government. Russia is now mostly finished, having achieved their objectives.

Russia has achieved most of her initial objectives and the Ukrainian army trapped in the east (condemned to be blood sacrificed by Washington) are now kettled. I hope they manage to surrender [Azov units being the problem], as so many regular Ukrainian military have.. Meanwhile in all conflicts objectives change and it appears that the climactic battles will be Odessa to Transnistria.

Biden and his Cabal wanted Russia to invade Ukraine. There was a massive number of NATO trained Ukraine troops mobilizing near the Donbass in East Ukraine near the Russian border in February. It’s why they kept saying Russia is going to invade Ukraine. They knew Russia had to make a move, Ukraine was going to attack the Donbass. I think they were surprised by the scale of the Russian response however.

Russia was not party to the Minsk agreements but Ukraine and LDNR were. Ukraine violated the Minsk over and over. I’m not aware of the Biden regime putting pressure on Ukraine to hold up their side of the Minsk agreement but instead I would bet they encouraged them to antagonize the breakaway republics and Russia.

There are also reports of bioweapons labs, perhaps 30, or as Nuland calls them bio research labs.

The battles in Ukraine should be over soon since the Ukraine military supply lines are being squeezed.

The question is what happens after Ukraine is defeated. What next? Great business plan for NATO for sure.

This imposter has set a bad precedent by confiscating dollar denominated assets. 300 billion dollars of Russian assets were taken. Others will think long and hard before trusting this US regime when they can turn around and confiscate your assets if you don’t fall in line or do something the Biden regime does not like.

These tyrants will do it to their citizen’s next if they can get away with it.

Most likely Ukraine will be set up to be the largest Afghanistan in history to bleed the west dry. Western leaders are too busy huffing out their chests to show how much bigger they are than Russians.

Eventually they will probably attack both Romania and Poland, perhaps at the same time to take out US missile installations.

Ukraine is the new covid. Endless money, corruption, money laundering, further crashing the economies of all western nations that are barely getting off their knees, everyday restrictions because of manmade scarcity in commodities like oil, gas, food. Then double down.

Putin dared to challenge the sacrosanct petrodollar due to sanctions on Russia; had no choice to offer customers to pay in rubles. Now the ruble is the strongest growing currency in the world because it is needed to buy Russian oil and gas, the 3rd producer in the world. Russia can now sell less at higher prices and collect even more revenue.

The ruble is stronger now against the dollar and euro than just before the war started.

If russia big oil didn’t exist.
if russia supplying nearly 50 percent of all energy demand to all of europe.
if cheap oil from a IMMENSE set of reserves calculated to supply for well over 300 years at literally pennies on the dollar compared to ‘western oil” costs.’
if russia, saudi AND china (and Germany plus France) did not form a long term oil contract AND created a new fintech systems for payments that ROLL RIGHT PAST petrodollars.

if these things were not true, would the United States Government and it’s globalists billionaire’s club, up to and including some of the most powerful wealth funds, even care about russia?

why DOES the USG and the west fear russia?

when you understand THAT answer….it’s about energy and who controls the markets as de facto market maker!

It’s not “about” ukraine, it never was.

It’s about the US taking military action against Russia to slow down and even possibly deny what russia is bringing to the world.

It exposes the greatest lie and deception that the west has trafficked (even before new green bullmanure)

that oil is actually very cheap to produce and even to ship.

russia is showing the world how the existing energy markets is THE NUMBER ONE cancer to human lives.

The bankers told the USG to go to war to prevent the transfer of wealth to russia and to the point a more competitive low cost energy market outcome.

Russia exposes the fraud and abusive excesses of western oil.

Saudi arabia tried doing this before too. And the USG decided to give them a taste of terrorism.

now you begin to understand why the USG did not go to war with SA directly.

and neither will this USG go to war directly with russia too!

it’s too valuable to destroy.

this “war” is about forcing russia into a economic tight corner that forces it to negotiate terms to enter the energy markets that is favorable to the west…

the problem is however, this strategy fails to recognize that china is supporting russia and holds a far greater threat, economically, technologically, financially, and even militarily than does russia.

you poke the bear directly, you end up with china doing more than just posturing.

the strategist in the west don’t care about these outcomes. They will risk EVERYTHING in order to force russia to concede in large measure its ability to take the energy market stage.

this will end up in a nuclear exchange. no doubt about it.

It would not surprise me one bit that a “terror dirty bomb” is detonated in a large european city very soon…chalk it up to some rogue terror actor..plausible deniability for covert cia terror makers.

things are going to get slippy very soon.

prepare now.

I’m sure the US logistical effort is as efficient as it’s always been, then what? The Western half of Ukraine’s rail network is being seriously attrited, there’s a critical lack of fuel and weapons have be moved under aerial observation and then stored close to the frontlines. Most of the heavy weapons being sent are not compatible systems for both resupply and maintenance, their crews have had a fraction of the training needed to be proficient in their use and have had zero time for operational integration.

One article I read called General Austin – Lloyd “Raytheon” Austin. It is good to remember what he is really all about.

The same article says, “The woke Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Mark Milley, expects Operation Z to last years. That’s nonsense. The Russian Armed Forces may afford to be quite methodical and take all the time needed to properly demilitarize Ukraine. The collective West for its part is pressed for time – because the blowback from the real economy is already on and bound to become vicious.” I add to that the elections in the US in 2022 may have an impact.

Belle, I could not agree more with what you say. The EU/NATO countries are seeing their economies decimated by this US led proxy war against Russia. Time is all on the side of Russia and those countries that are not aligned with the US lled bloc and that have commodity backed currencies, not fiat currencies with no real backing. The Ruble is making rubble of currencies like the Euro, Yen, and even the dollar.

Winning isn’t the objective. Cheney likes to call them “Long Wars”.

That’s why the TV generals told PT it would take 3 years to take out ISIS. Winning isn’t the objective. PT did it anyway. That’s why they hate him, he took the punch bowl away, and they don’t want to sober up.

Patrick Lancaster walked through the Ilycha plant on the other side of Mariupol, that was a big place. He’s in Azovstal now. Not much to see around the plant. He mentions the evacuation and ceasefire. They can surrender if they want, no snake island massacres.

Did Chairman Xi order Biden to deplete our arms stockpile? And the Strategic Petroleum Reserve? While forcing Vaxx on the troops? Not to mention wrecking the economy.

If I owned a Biden like Xi does, that’s exactly what I’d do.

Every Ukrainian counteroffensive is always exaggerated overwhelmingly by the mainstream media and their supporters on twitter. It’s never more than a handful of villages, yet always depicted as imminently about to impose a huge defeat on Russia.

2/. For weeks and weeks we heard about how Ukraine was imminently about to take back Kherson city, with all the usual exaggerations, but at no point in time did they ever achieve that. Even around Kyiv the Ukrainian counteroffensives were exaggerated.

You cant retake territory if you have less combat power than the other side. The rule of thumb is that one needs three times the combat power, whether measured in # of troops or superiority in weapons or leadership, in order to have success against a well constructed defense

Ukraine doesnt come anywhere near equality, so all stories of Ukraine retaking territory should be disregarded as so much CNN reporting

For the understanding impaired: “….may have secondary objectives…..here’s a possibility.”

But, putting aside your evasive response, please amplify on your detailed knowledge of how the logistics – to include sourcing, contracting, warehousing (intermediate and destination), etc., etc. – are working out on both the NGO and gov’t levels (acknowledging that the gov’t has its hands in both pipelines).

Hillbilly militias. I imagine you refute the maiden coup back in 2014 and believe it was also due to Russian acts. The fact remains Ukraine and Russian history is intertwined and it was the nasties that were the aggressors. Banning Russian when there was a large percentage of speakers in Ukraine.

What happened in Odessa where the people were burned alive and not one arrest because it was Azov.

I hope it’s over soon and pray for peace, but the usual UK spooks and Neocon bunch are up to their antics.

If we use up all or ammo, then we can’t fight China if and when they attack Tiawan. Perhaps that’s the plan. Regardless, I still stand with the Ukranian people. Even a broken clock is right two times a day, and Obiden is certainly a broken clock.

Using the war in the Ukraine as the means, the United States is rapidly rebuilding the Iron Curtain with Russia.

1) The economic sanctions the United States and its NATO/EU has placed on Russia has created an economic vaccuum between industries from each nation which used to do business with each other. US businesses are now openly and proudly admitting they are enemies with Russian businesses.

2) Biden has proclaimed the war between the Ukraine and Russia is now a war between Russia and the United States. Biden has openly admitted the war goal of the United States is to weaken Russia.

3) The United States media, all of it, is openly hostile to all things Russian.

4) Both Republicans and Democrats join hands in their determination to provide Ukraine with all the war material necessary to fight the Russians.

5) The vast majority of the people in this country want the Russians defeated.

When you add it all up, the Iron Curtain is back.

‘Redacted’ is a YouTube channel that has exceptional reporting on the proxy war. However, they were cancelled early last week for the third time. They are on Rumble.

One especially key, fascinating video they posted featured a woman in the ground, she’s a reporter name Elizabeth I think. Anyhow I can’t look it up right now, but the information she shares is so very important, completely destroys the U.S. narrative on Ukraine. Sbe talks about Russia’s actual actions and Ukraine’s crimes on it’s citizens, its imprisoning
and torturing of reporters trying to tell the real story, etc.

‘Redacted’ is one channel I wish I’d found eons ago.

Putin started this war against NATO,not Ukraine.
Ukraine would not deny their entry into NATO. And that is what started this.
So is it really any surprise NATO countries are supplying weapons and Putin is destroying the convoys?
And NATO is taking Finland application this month? A bordering country to Russia? Which was the Ukraine concern all along?
This is not about Ukraine. This is about dollar reserve currency and EU dollars and NATO and Russia.
It’s why you don’t see any negotiations for a cease fire or effort to deescalate.

As the U.S. weapons convoys are pushed from Western Ukraine toward Eastern Ukraine (Donbas region) the Russians identify the locations and blow them up with cruise missiles.

No doubt, Russia is having some success at preventing the delivery of all the weapons and munitions that are being shipped to Ukraine. The question is how successful are these efforts and are they targeting the most vital equipment. It could be that the Russians know where to strike but not when or what to strike with their long range missiles.

Regardless, the Ukrainian forces will have access very soon to counterbattery radar (assuming they don’t already). This will allow them to quickly and accurately pinpoint the place where enemy artillery rounds and rockets are coming from. With the long range weapons that NATO is sending – the Ukrainians will have a capability to target isand destroy Russian guns.

How many of these weapon systems are neither going to reach the front nor make it to the actual Ukrainian forces? We are trucking them without escort or account. Corruption there was already high and wartime profiteering just makes it worse. How many days/weeks/months/years from now will it be before a US airplane, school bus, embassy, or military base gets hit by one of our own weapons lost, stolen, or sold because we started dumping them into play like the Hurricane Katrina credit cards? If you thought operation Fast and Furious was sketchy then stop and think about the power of a javelin in the wrong hands.

Obviously, Russia wants to move the buffer zone farther from its own border. They will do it inch by inch if they need too!

Its what we should be doing on our southern border. Go deep, 100 miles along the border into Mexico as a buffer, then clean-up the buffer zone. But, I’m dreaming again.

We might find the Mexican people happy to help, as we see the people helping in the buffer zone created by the Russians.
