Several people have sent this video interview requesting opinion. The video reflects an interview between two Australians. The interviewer is a podcaster the person being interviewed explains his background on the ground in Ukraine as “officially” an “aid worker,” however, what he describes is more like a mercenary.
The interview is rather lengthy and starts at 02:13 with a question about what is happening in Bakhmut in the Eastern Ukraine fighting battlefield. The unknown Australian merc in the interview describes the Russians overwhelming the Ukraine forces in most battles. The Ukrainian military units have made several strategic mistakes that have played into the hands of the more capable Russian forces.
The main Russian element being described is the Wagner group who are well known to be brutal and strategic special force fighters. The interview is from a pro-Ukraine, pro-western alliance perspective. However, in the bigger picture the Ukraine military units are being ground down by attrition, despite the massive amount of aid being delivered by NATO allies. The description is a rather brutal assessment of the devastation created by horrific modern warfare. WATCH:
.
Summary: Ukraine not winning. Wagner PMC/Russian tactics and technology vs. Ukraine. Chinese tech advisors helping Russians. Non-existant Medi-vac. Western Military Aid Stolen 60% off the top 40% sold on black market. Russian Artillery Domination. Ukrainian Officers Incompetence. Ukrainian Soldiers Lack Basic Equipment.
And the Walking Potted Plant President and his handlers are going full Vietnam. God help us. 🙏
And the walking potted plant Minority Leader in the Senate is cheering him on …
“Creeping potted plant’s” ……pedo’s creep………
Deja vu all over again.
Even had the United States attained a conclusive military decision, its cost would have exceeded any possible benefit. Vietnam was then, and remains today, a strategic backwater, and the US decision to fight there in the 1960s was driven by a doctrine of containing communism that in the 1950s was witlessly militarized and indiscriminately extended to all of Asia. Bernard Brodie observed in the early 1970s that “it is now clear what we mean by calling the United States intervention in Vietnam a failure. We mean that at least as early as the beginning of 1968 even the most favorable outcome could not remotely be worth the price we would have paid for it.”
– The U.S. Army War College Quarterly – Winter 1996-1997.
Viet Nam was NOT “a failure”; it was a success for those in charge, and it played out just like they intended.
They got rid of the two POTUS contenders (JFK and Goldwater) who would have said “No” to their plan, and INSTALLED a POTUS (LBJ) who WOULD go along with their foolishness.
Ironically, Conmunist viet nam actually gets along with US, fairly well and not at all with China, having fought with them several times since our departure.
I believe the criminal cabal in DC are diligently working to put the USA smack dab in the middle of WWIII.
I’ve read Herman Wouk’s “Winds of War” and now reading “War and Remembrance”.
It’s just a repeat of pre-WWII with the Lend-Lease Plan.
Right now France is willing to send F-16s…the potted plant said ‘no’ to that today but there is no doubt he cut a deal with France to send them. It’s the same game, except FDR was not a potted plant and he knew what he was doing…this cabal is just copying FDR. (These idiots have no originality to any of their plans; just Wokeness and tyranny.)
I am not confident at all that the USA could win anything against Russia; we’ve gone WOKE in our military. Russia is totally the opposite; they are winning and will continue to win. Eventually the truth will be revealed because it cannot be hidden forever.
We are being led by a cabal of criminal idiots who think they can beat Putin; give me a break!
It would appear with all of the other devastating acts taken against the US from within, choking off energy, creating food shortages and high inflation etc etc, the money pit sheet hole Ukraine could just be a means for corruption to enrich a few globalists and further destroy the US. It’s certainly seems to be working out that way
Not disputing the claim. It has been obvious from day 1. Though that should not be the primary concern – I continue to believe weaponized biolabs supercede all else.
Need names of actual beneficiaries and numbers.
Two assume books… I applaud you for reading them… They will lay clear to you so much that is not well known…
Wouk’s ‘Caine Mutiny’ is also well worth a read… The books are always better than the movies…
Fight on….
I don’t think they want to win, judging from the Covid release, it appears they want population reduction. And they will do whatever it takes to get it because let’s face it, if we don’t cut the population in half, we can’t fit many more people in this country comfortably. The current path is untenable and unsustainable. Growth will only come from major reduction first.
Ironically, the more “developed” a country, the more likely its population is not achieving 1 for 1 replacement, and is therefore looking at unsustainable demographics.
The “baby boomers retiring” is NOT limited to the US; same in most of Western Europe, except Hungary and mb Poland,…Japan and CHINA both have serious declining populations,…but Africa, Central and South America, Russia,…baby boom occurring now.
.
In multifarious ways, so much is wrong. Seems as if there’s a multi-pronged attack to weaken, destroy the United States. I cannot come to any other conclusion.
.
It’s been this way for quite some time, it’s just that the math is catching up to us.
Forgot to add that it’s in the form of an intentional managed decline. Tons to unpack there.
I’ll leave a morsel:
“….the center of gravity of international affairs is importantly shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific and Indian Oceans…” Henry Kissinger
https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/commentary/transcript/transcript-kissinger-s-remarks-at-2009-makins-lecture/
“Intentional managed decline”.
Perhaps more than one “alliance” has build back better plans?
Perhaps Nationalists and Anti Wokes have plans to counter the humanity despising NWOs schemes; plans that require the demolition of NWO structures that are happening under Resident Biden?
Perhaps once the demolition phase is completed, President Trump, the peace maker who got along well with everyone in the BRICS Alliance and is also world renowned for his visionary restoration projects that “experts” deemed too impossibly complex to ever succeed, can return and complete his masterpiece, Project MAGA?
I’d love nothing more than for Trump to swoop in and fix things, things being a multi-generational plan for NWO. It runs much deeper than 1 lifetime and 1 group. Trump gets my vote in any case.
So what?
Have you worked the full dimensions of deploying a major weapon system? All the training, logistics, spare parts, transport, maintenance facilities, etc., etc.? Any data on how time factors into all of this?
Ukraine is collapsing. How far will NATO/US escalate?
Yes. Obviously those systems the West is sending Ukraine will be operated by NATO people, in spite of what they are saying.
Two great and intelligently written books.
SQUIRREL!!
Nothing distracts attention from the world finding out who is responsible for the intentual crimes of creating/releasing covid on the entire world like a thermonuclear war.
Take a look around you. We are at the gates of hell.
Hanibal ante portis. Alternatively, if you path leads through hell, act like you own the damn place.
Thanks for sharing this timely Trump evoking advise
Another Trumpian quote I often deploy to counter despair summonings; “when going through hell, keep going”.
Its always darkest before the dawn/Don.
Yeah both my senators are Brandon lookalikes and my representative looks like AOC.
But I take comfort in Jesus’ prophecy that He was building a church and that the gates of Hell would not prevail against it.

They coulda sued for peace.
But that’s not the prize they seek.
They want the $9 trillion in minerals that Zelensky promised them in exchange for being made the king with no clothes.
But he has a sweatshirt.

So the Chinese are teaming up with the Russians. FJB undoing a rift that Nixon exploited 50 years ago and existed in some form for that time.
Less of friendships, then of interests.
They may have coincident interests… for now.

Interesting timing. Just this weekend we are being warned of a war with China by 2025.
Strange days indeed.
Belt and Road initiative
The New Silk Noose.
News sources are presenting different pictures; not willing to believe Ukraine is winning, but don’t believe Russia is a winner in a cakewalk.
Reports are that Russia is firing 10 times the number of artillery rounds per day as Ukraine.
There is a reason why it’s artilery, not infantry nor armor, that’s called the King of Battle.
I thought artillery was the Queen of the Battlefield.
Infantry is the Queen.
I guess the answer depends on what link is chosen when you search it online. Napoleon has been credited (false or not!) with the Queen attribution.
I was mechanized infantry – but only qualified with an M14, M16 and a Smith & Corona……………….
I was Field Artillery. I fired the M14 and M16 in basic. Trust me, the 105 and 155 are orders of magnitude and destructive power greater. They take a whole lot more training too.
Our infantry is largely made up of queens. The pup handler brigades.
Most Ukrainian soldiers are killed by artillery and never even see a Russian. The Russians aren’t doing human wage attacks. The artillery pounds the defenders until resistance is destroyed then the Infantry moves in to clean up!
Amazing how the Russians have over 150,000 dead comrades to demonstrate their superiority and how Russians are fleeing their country.
The latest estimate I have seen from a credible source is 30k Russian dead and 155,000 Uke KIA+MIA.
“150,000”
You are dreaming.
Dreams brought to those who are still tranced by the CIAs latest iteration of Project Mockingbird.
We’ll know we’ve succeeded when everything they believe isn’t true ie An Operation Santa’s Real for adults.
more like 35k or less. Ukraine 500,000. They aren`t on draft 8 for nothing.
It is a simple math syllogism.
Of course other factors come in to play such as the Russian attempts to limit civilian casualties.
If we look at the most verifiable numbers we have about a 5 times kill ratio, advantage Russia. Those number are close to the best guess by Col. McGregor. I still believe that the Ukrainian losses are vastly understated.
Amazing how some people STILL believe that what the Western Media tells them.
Sure they are.
Seen any fgootage of these constant artillery bombardments?
It would a sizeable fraction of the amount used in WW1 artillery battles if that were true and there is just no video evidence from either side to support this assertion.
People need to stop believing written acounts without primary data.
No one is winning, because there is no war, simply a phony conflict to empty out Ukraine.
“There is no war”.
Using idiosyncratic definitions to maintain comfy neo antoinette feels?
Russia does not need a cakewalk to be victorious.
Russia is slowly grinding down Ukrainian military capabilities, letting NATO de-militarize itself, letting the West destroy its economic system, letting anger and frustration slowly build among Western peoples against their governments, letting the rest of the world realign towards the BRICS core. The longer the former process takes, the more amplified the latter results become.
There is danger in this strategy because Western policy makers are completely unhinged from reality, feel completely insulated from it, and are verging on Army Detachment Steiner levels of self delusion. These people have the Button.
NATO made a grave mistake by saying their stockpiles are depleted. Now everyone knows.
They’re shaking the donation/ taxpayer jars for the defense industry and thusly their own pockets.
Ultimately, this is just as much as a nuclear standoff as it was during the Cold War. Everything, has to be understood within this framework. It’s another wealth transfer, amidst a negotiation over intentionally created power vacuums.
This is always how the game works. We armed the Russians, Japanese, in a way the Nazis (read wall street), Saddam, etc. Once this realization hits….. whoa boy.
you nail it…keeler
One more such campaign and Russia will fall prey to the Mongols.
A good thing or a bad thing depending on whose build back better plans prevail?
The attrition ratio alone, is pointing towards the Russians being in a much stronger position.
Yes if they sacrifice another 500,000 men they may hold their gains. Another such victory will insure China invades.
Try harder.
You seem to labor under the mistaken belief that hope is a plan.
Is “non soy boy” an homage to 1984 double speak akin to fascist emulaters calling themselves antifa? :-).
“Not willing to believe. Kudos.
I haven’t heard any serious analyst framing Russias inevitable win as “a cakewalk”.
Inevitability =/= easy
However, Russian history and culture, unlike Western culture, inspires people to view suffering as a means to transcend the mundane.
Pick up your cross and follow Me; I am the Way of Life.
Instead of sending another $100 billion to Ukraine, how ’bout:
1. Thunderdome Octagon Cage Match.
2. Only Putin & Zelenskyy enter.
3. Only one Vladimir leaves.
4. ???
5. $1 billion PROFIT!!! to the winner and no more loss of life and oligarchic theft.
Now do Jobama and anyone else on the world stage.
Or re-elect Trump.
That Finnish skater,put him/it in the cage……….Putin should annex Finland just for that alone.
Competition…first country that gets a cure for cancer wins.
My money is on Big Mike.
We must belie everything our government tells us about what is happening in Ukraine else we be Russian Agents..
And why would they lie to us about Ukraine when they have never lied to us about anything else?
More so than ever before you just cannot trust the MSM in all their guises for the simple truth. Pretty much for every important issue.
Literally every sentence has to be parsed, fact checked and recognized for the agenda behind the presentation.
Actually, you can ABSOLUTELY trust MSM, 100 percent.
If they totally ignore what is obviously, objectively a MAJOR story, like say Hunters laptop, or the food shortage story, you know its real.
If they denounce it as “Russian disinfo”, it confirms ITS REAL.
They will reliably lie to us, and you can take that to the bank, and get digital currency for it.
Stated simply: “Truth is the first casualty of war.”
Put another way: You should simply begin with the stark recognition that, one way or the other, everything that you hear is(!) propaganda, from one side or the other. Some of it is “original,” while most of it is merely “repackaged.”
“The most crucial and most-prized battlefield in any war is – ‘the battle for your mind.'”
But also: “In the present Internet Age,™ there are also no ‘barriers to entry to that battlefield!'”
Therefore, you should regard all of it with “healthy skepticism.” Under these circumstances, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. For example: “you say that you are an ‘Australian aid worker?’ Prove it!” Go ahead. Begin there.
Very carefully seek out all sources of information available to you, and then objectively evaluate for yourself. “Assume nothing.” Presume always that you are “on your own.” But go forth anyway.
Great post Mike – much wisdom
Agreed. It is almost impossible to find any information you can trust. The Ukrainians appear to lie all the time and the Russians don’t talk much. All I know is that there appears to be no significant advance on the ground for either side. Right now it’s a stalemate as far as I’m concerned.
“Ukrainians appear to lie all the time and the Russians don’t talk much”
This has been a consistent feature ever since the media propaganda tidal wave started.
Virginian, you might want to read Moon of Alabama, watch Douglas McGregor and TheDuran, and read the detailed Military Summary on Rumble. These sources admit when there is a lack of information or when the information may be biased or unreliable. There is also the Ministry of Defense of Russia daily report on Telegram.
There is no stalemate. The Russians are advancing slowly and steadily and grinding up the Ukrainian forces. Russia captured a key city of Soledar on the 2nd Ukrainian defense line a week and a half ago. They have almost encircled Bakmut and have actual or artillery control over the roads supplying it. In the Zaporozhye region, Russians are advancing to take Ugledar and have taken the outer areas of that city.
Where do they get their info from?
Duran is in London/Cyprus, Military Summary is Belarus, Moon in the US as is Mcgregor, new Atlas is in Thailand. They are all running second hand analysis from written info only, as is everyone else. Its a phony war on both sides.
The Russian channles provide only small ruined buildings and lone vehicles. So even stuff like Rybar on Telegram is primarily maps and text, with short clips of small stuff.
The same scam is being run on them.
16 million Ukranians have been moved out to Russia and west, and the east is an empty country with no film evidence of an actual war.
No film evidence of an actual war?
What is this? …I suppose you’d claim it is “doctored” or CGI video.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/bZVeeZkCBHak/
Its as I said small empty towns shot up in an empty country.
Thta is not an ongoing war. For all you know it was from 2014, when actual fighting took place.
Point to me a video of an actual tank battle with more than 2 tanks or a 30 gun artillery bombardment?
Describing yourself dear adamant Albert?
Your comments make no sense and offer no information. Are they supposed to be comedic?
Douglas McGregor was at a level that he still has sources in the US and NATO military from which he gets some of his information. You can read MoD Russia for their advances and accomplishments, but they almost never mention Russian losses, so you have to also read the MoD Ukraine which is much less accurate, but crows about Russian losses, which may or may not be accurate. Rybar must have sources on the ground because they are able to give troop concentration and movement information that doesn’t appear other places. WarGonzo definitely gets information from troops on the ground. Military Summary uses published maps of military activity from western sources and Russian sources to try to give a picture of what is going on. TheDuran and Moon of Alabama are analysis from a wide comparative reading of media sources. Patrick Lancaster does interviews of ordinary people for their witness to events. His witness accounts indicate that there is an actual war with actual people being killed and homes destroyed.
The New Atlas on You Tube offers a clear eyed breakdown of what western military propaganda really means. Primary sources are used. Watching has improved my psywar savvy.
The New Atlas channel is frequently referenced by The Durans two members.
Both have individual You Tube channels and post videos every day which I frequently watch.
Excellent. Yes. We must Doubt everything from unknown sources until those sources can be confirmed by those already proven to be trustworthy.
Actually, what Mike advocates is far too much like work, for me.
As I posted above, MSM/Big Tech makes a very reliable “reverse barometer” and if Ukes were winning, they wouldn’t continue to need Billions every month.
IIRC, WE spent Billionsa month in Afganistan, and of coarse we eventually won there,…right?
We never hear the Russians’ voice, because it is actively censored, silenced or distorted. You think you get both sides and can pick and choose from all the propaganda? No, you only get one side. Regarding ordinary people in the West and this crisis it’s fair to say: All they know is wrong.
Here in Europe you can go to jail and have your life shattered for dancing to “Kalinka” in the street. Alina Lipp, a German journalist who report from Donetsk faces arrest in Germany if she goes back. Her bank accounts were trudeaued by German authorities, and even her family were targeted, because she tells the story from a Russian perspective and wants the shelling of civilians in Donetsk to end. Freedom of expression is GONE.
Russian news channels like Sputnik or Russia Today are shut down here, so I don’t even know where to get Russian propaganda if I needed some.
And propaganda is not about this or that right or wrong fact or “fact”, it’s allways about manufacturing consent about The Big Picture. Your baseline of understanding that most people share. How did we get there? Yes, successfully executed propaganda.
RT still posts stories on Gab. Most of their stories seem fairly benign about US events from a conservative viewpoint, only rarely including information about the war. Gateway Pundit has also been posting information from outside the propaganda machine occasionally.
Maybe that explains, in part, the lack of actual combat footage? Not the Sky-cam variety, but actual combat.
there should be plenty in these days of smartphone video, of everything.
All Too Much: The amount of electronic warfare in Ukraine is probably enough to fry an egg in midair.
This ! This is the most under reported boots on the ground war in history. All narrative.
Ummmmmmm…. so why exactly do you expect “footage?!”
Because it isn’t happening
Look at the obvious conclusion from your own thoughts.
There is actually a great deal of video of the combat, both drone and helmet cam video. I have a number of links I watch regularly. The video is not for the faint hearted.
HEY OldIADGuy!
Very good to see that you are still around and hopefully doing okay. Looks like none of us are going to be around for much longer so it is especially good that I happened to see your comment tonight which has made my day.
Be well. Best to you and yours!
Dixie aka Linda
Good to hear from you Dixie. Me and mine are doing well considering the circumstances. I have to agree with you that many of us are not going to be around when things really break loose. I miss the old gang from CTH earlier days and the comradery. I wish you and yours the very best and remember to Take Care and Stay safe.
We live in interesting times.
Thanks for your reply. Life has not been good to me but I am hanging in there. Lost everybody one way or another so it’s just me now. I will make an effort to take care and STAY WARM. You too. 🙂
I’m sorry to hear that, but please remember that you are never alone.
“LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you’d walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me.”
The LORD replied:
“My daughter, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you.”
May the Lord Bless and keep you safe
Thank you. 🙂
Your assertion isn’t quite correct.
If you know where to look there is a huge amount of combat video.
Phone, GoPro, drone, etc
Be warned though, Some will find it distressing…
thesaker.is for commentary
https://www.bitchute.com/channel/nnwlaOOuDM1W/ – videos posted daily (albeit pro-Russian), but when Russian troops take a hit, they will post it, like this one:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/RGxcZcvNVNUt/
There is lots of war footage that is several days old. No source is going to publish what is going on now because it would give the other side information about location of troops, weapons they are using, how they are advancing, what opposition they are facing.
It is ridiculous to expect soldiers to stop fighting, get out their phones (with geolocation data) turn them on and film the combat.
Unlike every other war in the last 70 years with substantial actual footgae.
Not sure of the validity of this this, but interesting, if true.

Clandestine was banned from old Twitter as soon as he posted about the 36 biolabs in Ukraine. This was before Victoria Nuland confirmed their existence in her now infamous Senate exchange with Rubio.
I appreciate his research which includes primary sources which he shares and read his substack during his ban.
Its wonderful that Clandestine is baaaaack on Twitter and already dropping MOABs.
Wait, what they are stealing a large amount of what we are sending and selling it on the black market? I’m shocked!
Did anyone NOT think this was happening? Does anyone think it won’t eventually be used against us?
Should be interesting to see who will shut down commercial aviation in Europe with the stolen missiles.
We should probably put together a force of at least 5 million troops, complete with rainbow flags, in Ukraine and invade Russia right now before they invade Poland tomorrow, Germany next month and then Alaska in April..
There may not even be time for that as all of our great intelligence agencies and our great Pentagon are saying those Russian Devils are about to launch missiles and drop bombs and obliterate Kiev and maybe even Paris and Berlin!!! And, if we don’t act now, soon enough we will be saying, if we do not fight the Russian hordes in Ukraine today with our own ground troops an drop bombs and launch missiles at Moscow where that dastardly Putin lives, we will have to fight them in Hawaii tomorrow and then in Washington State next week and then in Wyoming the week after that.
Now Eisenhower did say that preventive war was an invention of Hitler, but what did that inexperienced old fool know? Why, he couldn’t even shine the shoes of America’s great President Joe Biden, the great Senator Lindsey Graham and the great generals at the Pentagon.
Ahh The Domino Theory!
We have meet the enemy and they are US.

It’s always been about stealing and selling every bit of “AID” we are forced to give them and that “AID-FTX” will always end up in the pockets of politicians far and wide. while military tech is sold to the highest bidder like China and every terrorist to kill our soldiers.
I’m of the opinion that the West is facilitating the elimination of Ukraine. They supply just enough weapons and assistance to keep them in the fight, but not enough to actually win. This will go on until there is not enough left to actually call a country. Then what was once Ukraine will be a buffer zone between the West and Russia.
I seriously think this is all planned to drain the U.S and western world’s military resources to make it easier for China to conquer Taiwan and likely Japan, Philippines and maybe even the U. S. As of now projections are we cannot replace the weapons we’ve sent Ukraine for at least five years and a four star Air Force General just predicted we will be at war with China by 2025. Going to war with a shortage of our best weapons is a disaster.
We may be critically short of weapons but we have transgender troops to fight our enemies, so there’s that.
The USA also proudly boasts of maternity flight suits for the nation’s female fighter pilots. That is a game changer.
BTW, the US does a war game on Taiwan every year or so and the US has never won.
China has already conquered the USA. Check the “Made In” labels around your house
Was that General a “Made for TV General” or a REAL General?
Given his rank, I strongly suspect the former, as the higher the rank, the more woke, leftist and rank they are.
I have trouble believing that we are sending our “best”. If we are, then, China surely rules over us through bribery already. However, I do think China has near term plans to conquer Taiwan and we will be warring against them shortly. I also know that Taiwan supplies our “superior” military with its semiconductor chips for its advanced weaponry, which are no longer made in the USA. There are plans to build a couple of new foundaries in the US, I forgot the timeline on those. It is at least a few years, maybe 5.
There are a couple things to consider. The people building and running the foundaries have to be trained. The US has not done this work in at least a decade in most cases. This used to be a USA strong point in the 1980s and 1990s. But the expertise has now been off-shored and the professionals that did this then are retired. Plus, the tools have changed as the size of the chips have shrunk.
I am not sure what some consider our “best” weapons are actually our best weapons. The navy ships in their electronic finest were brought to a standstill by Iran.
I am sure that with the current military leadership, we are in dire straights no matter our equipment.
No statement of objectives, no definition of winning, no Congressional authorization. The U.S. Government of constitution deniers hard at work for you.
The moron has believable info regarding stuff he has personally experienced and knows about, but he is clueless about the big picture / strategery.
US has sent two Uke armies into the meat grinder, somewhere around 300,000 MIA/KIA. The casualty ratio is 10:1 in favor of the Russia.
The third army forming up, includes the forced conscription of Hungarians from far west Uke, a dude with both hands missing, and various other children and grandpas will suffer the same fate.
EUSSR / USASR will suffer the same failure as all the other recent wars over the past few decades.
One can only hope it results in some kind of regime changes in the west. But with demonics like Victoria Nudelman running the show it may be a catastrophe for the rest of us getting dragged along for the ride.
“The moron has believable info regarding stuff he has personally experienced and knows about, but he is clueless about the big picture / strategery.”
It has always been thus.
You wouldn’t get anyone to sign up if they had the full picture.
“All warfare is based on deception.” Sun Tzu
All the result of the neocons, like Victoria Nuland and her ilk and their foreign bosses, being allowed to start wars and cause death and destruction worldwide. They continue to wag the dog. Truly an evil empire. We fall for it every time and allow all of it.
Anyone who wants this war should be sent to the frontlines. If you are currently serving in the U.S. Military get out as soon as you can. You are working for Emperor Palpatine.
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

He wont send f-16’s there.
the Jackal keeps threatening us with them.
They don’t really need F16’s. Not sure where that came from. About 500 helicopters and some A10’s and some F15’s is what Ukraine needs.
Which would all promptly be shot down, as Russia has dominance over Uke airspace.
Yep.
Attempting a NoFlyZone would be akin to placing a self-triggering tripwire.
For Derps who absolutely positively have to have a causus belli.
No, Ukraine does not need F-16’s, F-15’s, 500 helicopters, or A10’s. They need a government that cares about the people of the country and peace.
What Ukraine needs”.
Rooting for Ukraine’s destruction?
Everyone expects a massive Russian military offensive in the spring. Will the crew that runs Biden pull an “Afghanistan” on Ukraine, mutter “oh well,” and simply turn and walk away, leaving Z holding a gigantic bag of excrement? I would not bet against that. America is involved in ANOTHER European war? Seriously?
A decision which is cheaper to end the conflict. Take out Zelenskyy or Putin? Eventually we will get tired of feeding both of them. If I am Zelenskyy, I wouldn’t trust Biden.
Dude has a mansion in Miami, he trusts Biden implicitly.
Zelensky is in a bind between the west on one side and his Nazi regiments on the other side. The nationalists would end his life if he gave away any territory to Russia. He is like a gambler using someone else’s money, doubling down on his gambles in hopes of winning.
I have a feeling that whomever is left of the Ukrainian army at the end of this–be they of a Nazi-mind or not– will turn their extreme anger over what is left of Ukraine on Zelensky & Co. and wreak brutal vengeance.
Zelensky better hope he has to contend with the victorious Russians rather than his defeated force–BECAUSE THEY KNOW they have been used as cannon fodder while Zelensky has gotten filthy rich.
Of course, we know the game plan is to airlift Zelensky and Co. out of Ukraine at the last possible minute to live a life of luxury in the mansions they’ve procured for themselves in the West. But it sure is nice to think/imagine that the Russians and/or UKR forces actually got a hold of Zelensky and his boys? The imagery/pics/video would not be for the faint of heart….
Last time we were allied with Russia and China.
This time we are fighting them. You really have to question the sanity of our leaders who thought it would be a good idea to go head to head with the 2 largest nuclear powers on the planet.
Calling POTUS Trump, Mayday Mayday.
Those whom the gods intend to destroy they first make insane.
Uke KIA + MIA = 155,000. That is the Russian strategy.
Can you imagine that happening in any western country without an immediate revolution?
…and 500,000 wounded..in the VIETNAM in the 11 yrs 58,000+ been killed…in the UKR…..in short 11 months almost 3 times more..and UKR.& EU and USA do not care…fight to last Ukranian …..
In the four years of World War II the United States lost about 400,000 troops in the European Theatre in defeating Germany. Ukraine is already closing in on 200,000 in nine months in order to lose about 70,000 sq miles of it’s own country!
That was the accepted figure from a couple of weeks ago. There are numerous reports coming out that the Ukrainian Chief of Staff inf0rmed the U.S. that they had sustained over 250,000 KIA. Stratfor is giving a figure of over 300,000. What ever the actual number is, the sad fact is the Ukrainians are being bled white. They are losing an entire generation of men.
PART of THE PLAN…
And for what? The insane desires of madmen to whom other people are tools to be used for their own aggrandizement? Why do we tolerate the unspeakable notion that some people can command others to sacrifice themselves, kill others, and destroy essential civil structures? It’s just as demonic and barbaric as ever in the history of mankind. We have learned nothing if we still tolerate this.
WOW. I didn’t hear the latest.
Even the survivors are going to have PTSD for life. Immense damage to Ukraine.
“Immense damage to Ukraine”
and other NWO “allies” and institutions including EU countries, NATO, the UK, countries still in its Dominion and the US.
Not necessarily a bad thing but still tragic.
I don’t know anything about the terrain, the numbers, or the capabilities of each side. I don’t have to. As soon as I heard we are sending Abrams tanks over to Ukraine I knew that Ukraine is not currently winning the war or even at a stalemate.
There is only one way America defeats Russia/China. Nuclear war, and the USA is happy to do it. DEPOPULATION
The strange thing the people who talk about depopulation (malthusians) always want to start by “depopulating” someone else first.
Never do they lead by example.
I would say to all the Malthusians lead by example and eliminate yourself from the gene pool, and then the rest of the adults on the planet can work constructively towards solving the challenges that solve mankind.
Let the first Russian nuclear missiles hit Washington DC, Chicago and Brooklyn. I don’t think the Neocons will be too happy!
I live in San Francisco. Nothing of importance here to nuke.
I also live in San Francisco, but I kind of not want where I live be nuked! 😛
BTW It’s nice to see other folks from the Treehouse be locals!
The trick is to live live comfortably away from cities of power, important installations such as ports, govt seats, research sites, etc.
Im pretty sure my area, southwest Oregon, is far enough away from those kinds of things to survive the first wave of missles.
Unless China is intent on wiping out 25% of the US marijuana production, there’s nothing here.
DC, Brussels and DAVOS, Putin would be doing humanity an immense favor.
Assuming the US would win a nuclear war?
If so, that’s a puzzling assumption.
The irony is the “volunteer” calls Russia troops dumb, and then in the next breath he goes on about “If Russia is allowed to invade Ukraine and keep some land it is the end of the West”.
Gee, I had no idea the West was so fragile.
Reality is Europe has been filled with clashes and land swaps for a looong time.
But then again if he would have any clue about the history of Ukraine and what transpired up to this date, he wouldn’t be out there waving his Australian volunteer gun.
If he truly believes what he says it would also make sense to go back to Australia and fight with the Aboriginal people to take back the land Australia invaded and stole from them. Doh.
He truly believes the propaganda that Russia is the aggressor and wants to take over the free world. He doesn’t know that Russia is an Orthodox Christian country that overthrew the Athiest and Communist 30 years ago. Russia is the free world!
The KGB infiltrated/overthrew the church, and the World Council of Churches is a communist front. Putin is not a Christian.
If you know Putin personally you should introduce him on the forum.
Otherwise I think it’s a bit rude to pertain what his personal religious beliefs at this moment would be.
Not just to Putin in particular but I would grant anybody the same leeway.
If people had to start explaining level of their piety to each other then it also would not be a religion anymore, it would be a cult.
The KGB no longer exists. It hasnt for a long time.
Source: a still Western Media tranced armchair?
Orange Man Bad. Vlad Man Very Bad.
Wasn’t it Zelensky who shut down the Ukrainian Orthodox Christian Churches last month? There is no KGB anymore!
The Russians aren’t marching on Kiev anytime soon, but time isn’t on the Ukrainians side. At the end of the day, just as many martial aged men and women are escaping Ukraine as they are Putin’s various “partial” mobilization. Advantage: Russia.
However, this is simply another “forever war” Hegelian dialectic: Ukraine is the conduit, Russia is the the catalyst and various African and Central European countries are the target. To wit, Albania – see the FBI story, Blinken and Hunter links – (and Taiwan to a lesser extent) is/are the next Ukraine. The goal is simply for those trafficked arms to destabilize these regions, and then the neocon chicken hawks swoop in as the “saviors”all while plundering national treasure and enslaving the citizens in some semi-facist rule that we ironically label a “democracy”.
Successful deployment of a Hegelian dialectic scheme relies on the Solution bringers reducing options to those they control.
In this case, the NWO doesnt, as they are learning to their horror.
Look, there are elements a the pentagon who want a war with Russia! What do ou think Russia Russia was Al about? They know militarily we can’t beat Russia . So what is the sense? Nonsense makes no sense!
“Makes no sense”.
That’s irrelevant to spoiled neo antoinettes. All that matters is indulging their I Wants and whims.
First, the Ukrainians are not the Vietnamese. Unlike the Vietnamese they have not been at a state of war, guerrilla or formal, for most of their existence. Second, everything that the NATO nations are sending there is above the Ukrainian soldier or volunteer to learn on the job. Many of our systems take many months to learn and become competent with. Third, the only way to support these systems is by sending in contractors/mercenaries/irregular/special forces to train, operate, and repair these systems. Finally, what happens when Zelensky is finally forced to the table to discuss a cease-fire/stalemate/surrender? What do the NATO eunuchs do? Prove they are serious with an invasion in support of the kleptocracy that is the Ukrainian government? Does the U.S. stick to a treaty that is magnitudes worse than the alliances that took the globe into World War I?
NATO died when the USSR disbanded. But the MIC, addicted the the money from war and power projection, wouldn’t let it go. So, here we are trying to win a race with a dead elephant on our back. We are letting European soi bois and EU court eunuchs decide the destiny of all nations. The outcome will truly be globally destructive. I only hope God sees that we deserve to be delivered from these narcissists, fools, and evil people.
You forget that NATO and CIA instructors have been training Ukrainian soldiers since we overthrew their elected leader in the Maidan coup in 2014. They had been fighting and killing ethnic Russians in the Donbas for 8 years; there were battles between the Donbass separatists’ militias and the Azov, Right Sector, Aidar regiments.
In fact, Angela Merkle and Francois Holland both admitted that the purpose of the Minsk Agreements was not a ceasefire or peace, but to build Ukraine’s military so they could fight Russia eventually. The goal has always been Russia. The Minsk Agreements were never enforced by any of the EU guarantors despite the killing of 14,000 people in the Donbass.
NATO is our version of the Delian League.
The Delian League was founded to as a defensive alliance to prevent future Persian invasions of classical Greece. Instead, it became the Athenian Empire, turned Athens’ allies into subjects, and only fought other Greeks- including a nearly thirty year war against the Spartans.
The Spartans won the war, Athens recovered, and neither side ever achieved the power it had formerly possessed. In less than a century the weakened Greek city-states fell to the Macedonians.
All planned. The plan is to suck NATO troops into a war with Russia. And by NATO we just as well call them U.S. troops. It will be a meat grinder as combined arms team warfare is designed to be. Get ready for the draft. The spineless Republicans wont drag Joey Fingers before Congress and force him to invoke the War Powers Act. Zombie like they will just allow America to drift into WW3.
I just read an article that should be reassuring. Moon of Alabama showed that there was no way that NATO, the EU, or the US had anywhere near the resources to fight a war against Russia by comparing it to the preparations of Operation Desert Storm.

Perhaps, perhaps not dear nostradoomer.
Please consider praying and adopting Trumps “lets see what happens” approach.
Hey Barack,
Peace called. Wants its’ prize back.
Russia and Ukraine reached a settlement in March to end the conflict. Both sides were happy and Russia pulled back from Kyiv. Boris Johnson went to Ukraine with a message from Biden and convinced Zelensky to walk away from the agreement because the United States and NATO would guarantee a Ukrainian victory! After this 200,000 Ukrainian soldiers are DEAD!
Has anyone ever created a list of ties of People or Companies with ties to Brandon from the arms and materials being sent?
This is beyond wage the dog and entering some sort of dark orgy of graft and parody.
Just like we were told the war would be over in a week using the same arguments this “reliable” source asserts. Ho hum I believe Miley and Brandon more.
So, Ukraine is winning?
If using 1984 double speak, yes, Ukraine is “winning”. Bigly.
According to rumors repeated on Telegram channels, Zaluzhny’s figures sent to the Pentagon on Ukrainian dead is 230,000. That came out this week. About a month ago, Ukraine admitted they had approximately 35,000 missing. Another source gave a figure of Ukrainian dead of 305,000.
This is unconscionable. Complete disregard for life from the leadership of Ukraine, of NATO countries, of the EU, of the US. We have blood on our hands because in April, the US and UK insisted that Ukraine reject the peace agreement that had already been written between Ukraine and Russia. Recently Ukraine said that they had not really been negotiating; they were stalling for time; however, that is a later fiction. We have blood on our hands for every weapon that we have sent, for every piece of ammunition, for every vehicle, for every bit of money we have sent.
All the Ukrainians had to do was follow the Minsk Accords. They did not.
As Merkel and other Western authorities have now admitted, they were never expected to. Minsk was nothing but a stall to provide time for NATO to build up Ukraine’s war machine.
“Western Military Aid Stolen 60% off the top 40% sold on black market.”
Any guesses when and where this stolen “aid” will reappear? If it’s on the black market somebody wants it. What do they need it for?
It’s already appearing in Africa.
At the end of November Nigeria’s president claimed terrorists operating in the Lake Chad region had already acquired weapons intended for Ukraine.
Russians bought our howitzer, and HIMARS off black market cheap.
Maybe we could use those resold Stinger and MANPADs to shoot down the F-16’s that Biden threatened to use against us.
The first part of this discussion is interesting. But after about half way when they start swearing, it’s just two ‘diggers’ bitching about everything. The first part of the discussion is useful when they are talking about what they know, soldier equipment, soldier training, company and below tactics, support to company and below troops. This is what ex ‘diggers’ know about. A digger or dig is a private in Australia and my bet is that they are both ex corporals with little appreciation of the strategic or even operational level of war.
What they do know is that the Ukrainians are being heavily attrited by Russia’s overwhelming firepower and that Wagner is a ‘near peer’ of Tier 1 western forces. That would make Wagner the stand out formation on this battlefield. They also know that lots of equipment and money has been provided by the West and little makes its way to the troops at the front due to corruption.
The casualty figures are illuminating and surely spell the inability of Ukraine to continue much longer because of the force of mathematics.
Ukraine’s population was about 41 mil before the current war and is now about 36 million. If Ukraine has lost 125,000 dead and we assume the war is one year old then it has lost 0.35% of its population in year one of the war. That is a greater total population loss rate than the UK lost every year in World War One. But it is even worse than that.
In 2009 the CIA estimated there were about 7 million fighting aged males in Ukraine. But about a 12% of the population has been lost due to Russian occupation. So if we reduce that 7 mil by 12% the Ukrainians have about 6.15 million fighting aged males available.
Let’s assume 75% of that population is fit and available for military service which is approx 4.6 mil. And let’s assume that 15% of the available personnel are assigned to frontline combat units. If so then the actual maximum fighting force that can be fielded by Ukraine is about 690,000 combat troops.
Ukraine has easily lost 100k troops or 14.5% of their MAXIMUM combat force. At 150,000 dead they have lost almost 22% of the maximum force they can field. But that assumes that all the male policemen, firemen, doctors, armaments makers etc who are fit can be used in the military. If we assume that only 50% of the available fighting aged manpower can be used in the army then its maximum force size is about 3 mil and its maximum combat unit numbers is about 460,000. On these figures Ukraine has lost about one third of its maximum deployable combat force. The US military considers a force is destroyed and combat ineffective at 50% casualties. Ukraine has lost one third dead, let alone wounded.
How long can Ukraine sustain these losses? Let’s assume 75% availability of fighting aged manpower and in desperation 20% are assigned to a combat unit. If so, then Ukraine has a maximum combat unit force of 920,000. And let’s assume, due to poor casevac etc that there is one wounded Ukrainian for every killed Ukrainian. Then at 125,000 dead Ukraine has total casualties of 250,000. That is a loss of 27.1% of its maximum possible combat force.
If Ukraine surrenders at 33% loss of its maximum combat unit strength lost then it can continue for about 77 more days or about two and a bit months. If they struggle on til they lose 40% of maximum combat unit strength then they can hang on for about half a year. If they surrender at 50% losses then they can go for about 10 months. My guess is they are more likely to surrender at about 33% losses than 50% losses.
In World War One Germany sued for peace when it lost about 17% of its army killed. In mid 2022 Ukraine claimed a military of about 700,000. If Ukraine has lost 125,000 dead then that is about 17% of its armed forces or roughly the causality rate at which Germany gave up in World War One. My guess is that Ukraine can go on for three to six more months before imploding due to its horrendous losses. It will continue mainly because of Western pressure and support.
Fortunately for Ukraine they won’t fight until the last Ukrainian. Unfortunately for Ukraine the peace imposed by the Russians is likely to be harsh. Unfortunately for the West, the US will lose the most important war since World War Two. Like World War Two, the loss will usher in a new world order without Westerners at the top of it.
Let’s assume nothing and await the outcome.
I’m not sure that the Chinese are providing any tech support. Russia has very capable tech people and they have been importing advanced chips for years and are still able to secure them.
If the Chinese WERE involved, I think that the US would be calling China out for it. I think that this is rumor and supposition.
NATO already threatened to intercede on Taiwans side.
“Threatened to intercede”…
Via hashtags, emojis and sternly worded letters.
The small drones are by Chinese maker DJI, I got the impression that was where they were helping out. The guy said they were getting the very latest top of the line stuff from them.
That could make sense in the light that they might be taking advantage of the opportunity to test their own war capabilities, without being accountable for actual weapons in theater.
And China IS the manufacturer for the World, so it makes sense they would supply Russia with masses of drones, cause their factories can crank them out.
Perhaps this guess that China would be called out if the mens report was true would benefit from considering who the Installed Resident is and why he was Installed?
Next they will want us to go do the fighting for them. I read today that already they want jets, missiles and even submarines. And Bi dumb is just stupid enough to give it to them.
One current concern is that a growing number of Ukrainian troops have tuberculosis. Douglas McGregor has mentioned this, but it is not getting much coverage (quelle surprise!) so we have no idea how widespread this really is.
Another piece of news from today, Wagner troops came across bodies which had the heads and hands removed to hide the identity of mercenaries. However, the Ukrainians left the person’s cell phone and papers. So, the bodies are being sent to the rear to identify and to be able to return them. I cannot believe that the US is supporting Ukraine with our tax dollars.
I wish I was brave enough to refuse to pay taxes until the government quits spending on green energy and Ukraine.
Refuse to pay taxes voluntarily == confiscation of taxes owed, huge fines and prison.
CTH wins the contest for first patriotic blog that discusses the war in Ukraine honestly. If you want to see pictures, maps, names of units at war, and smart analysis search for Slavyangrad on Telegraph. Or don’t.
Fortunately, Sundance is definitely NOT the only blog honestly discussing the war in Ukraine.
“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers.
In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in.
I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916.
I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested.
Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”
Smedley D. Butler, War is a Racket
I like this!
Let me introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste……
Obviously, Zelenksky and pals don’t give a f#ck for the Ukraine soldiers sent to the slaughter, cannon fodder. While Russia is making everything possible to protect the life of her people. How on earth did the Ukrainians vote for him? Just because he was the actor playing the Ukranian president in a TV series? Yeah, predictive programming, it sounds familiar. Voting machines? What an terrible tragedy, I have no words to express my disgust.
Well, lets not forget that the current Western puppet masters see us the same way, economic units to harvest o play with. You know they will make us eat ze bugss….
Can’t somebody get the Ukrainian president the puppet leader put in power by Obama a game show that he can host in Hollywood. He already dresses like Simon Cowell.
He already has such a show on the world stage:
The Grift Is Right.
This assessment aligns with Col. McGregors pretty much perfectly.
The good news is (I guess) that with Russia winning, and most of the “western aid” being funnelled away from the Ukranian fighters, to increase the bloated bank accounts of the corrupt Uke Govt., Putin won’t need to make good on his Nuclear threats, cause he won’t HAVE to.
He and PDJT ARE aligned, both wanted to end NATO, they just took different approach to solving the problem.
Or perhaps they’re taking the same “approach” but each one is handling different phases?
Wouldn’t this necessary demolition phase have been difficult if not impossible if Trump were President?
Once the demolition phase succeeds, hopefully the visionary builder and peace maker who’s on good terms with the leaders of the anti NWO BRICS Alliance will return to finish his MAGA Project.

I suggest Big Serge – The World Blood Pump
I very much like Gonzalo Lira’s take on the domestic chessboard. He has stated that the Jamie Dimons, Powel globalists are not gung ho on the Klaus Schwab NWO/green plans. As a consequence, the banksters are looking to unseat the Biden administration. Note, the Democrat/Marxist are still supporting Biden’s administration. So, it is not the Democrat party taking him down. Somebody else is spreading the news about top secret papers in Biden’s garage, etc. This is not the doing of the Freedom Caucus, however, they are able to use it to their advantage. McCarthy will go where the bribes are highest, he has not been bought by China, yet, unlike McConnel. The banksters are probably happy to support the MIC in every war, but not so willing to dethrone the US$ as global currency. Hence, a resumption of industry in the USA and a willingness to ensure Taiwan’s independence.

The best way for the Satanic elites to hide their crimes is under the rubble of a civilized legal structure. They need to go scorched Earth and hide in their bunkers until those who would prosecute them are all dead. I hope some elite trained military forces survive to wipe them off the face of the Earth and hopefully give survivors (if there are any) a chance to live in peace with God.
If you are interested in a daily update from a military perspective, The New Atlas over on YT is recommended, or videos from Lt Col Douglas MacGregor. There is no ‘shock and awe’ here, as US citizens have been taught should be the visual of war. Russia is fighting a war of attrition…..it’s not about land capture, but rather about destroying the Ukrainian army (and whatever mercenaries support it) and its equipment. It’s slow and methodical. The US and UK are preventing Ukraine from entering into any diplomatic negotiations (and have been doing so since last March). Our military is being depleted, our economy (and that of the EU) is being destroyed….all because of the ideology of Washington. We are not the good guys here…..
