Careful here. If the briefing was classified, how did Tucker know the details? Also, what the SecDef has said before is that if we do not aid Ukraine now, Russia will conquer Ukraine and then move on to conquering eastern Europe, which will mean US Military would get involved. Ridiculous, yes, but it is not a good idea for Tucker to omit this detail and imply that the SecDef will send American troops to Ukraine merely because aid was denied. Too easy to debunk, especially when the SecDef does not have the power to commit troops.

Bullshit.

More bullshit. We can't, for one thing. Second, we won't. The US military can't fight a war like this anymore. It couldn't even fight the Iraq War all over again.

Figure it out.

New Pledges of Military and Finanical Support to Ukraine Down 90 Per Cent in a Year: Report

A German research body that tracks donations to Ukraine says the value of pledges fell almost 90 per cent between Autumn 2022 and 2023, with levels dwindling since this Summer, around the time of Kyiv’s ‘Spring Offensive’.

Pledges of military and financial aid to Ukraine are now lower than they were before the renewed Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Keil Institute says of its latest tranche of data published through its Ukraine Support Tracker programme. Noting donors have become “more hesitant in recent months”, Christoph Trebesch, a director at the Institute claimed “a further delay” to large aid programmes planned by the European Union and the United States of America would “significantly strengthen Putin’s position”.

The news IS bad! Our morons in charge have no “plan B.” Their one and only plan is another 100 billion in round dollars — don’t ask how they calculated that — with no actual military battle plan to win the war or whatever the goal is. Vindman’s tweet was a deep-state hostage demand. In other words, cough up the cash, or Ukraine dies.

Allow me to explain his offer using an imaginary conversation between Congress and the generals on the Joint Chiefs of Staff:

CONGRESS: Boys, the news is bad. We are 33 trillion in debt. We need you to come up with a less expensive way to help Ukraine survive its war with Russia.

GENERALS: You people don’t know war. We’re the experts. How do you expect us to win a Proxy War without shooting cash at the enemy inside depleted uranium shells? It’s impossible! No plan B!

CONGRESS: Nobody wants Putin to win, but we do have some nine-inch, bright-red Jimmy Choo stiletto pumps we can give you. How about that?

GENERALS: Give us the pumps and we’ll think about it.

Softening them up for the partition? Russians losing again all over NATO who isn't really there. Or, they aren't there now except for hamburger helper remains. Russians could at least have the courtesy to leave intact parts for organ harvesting.

Malaysia Today ran a story yesterday headlined, “Ukraine aid also creates growth, jobs at home, says Blinken.“ Looking especially haggard and worn-out, and almost fully-grey now, owlish Secretary of State and master propagandist Antony Blinken assured press conference reporters yesterday that, “if you look at the investments that we’ve made in Ukraine’s defense to deal with this aggression, 90% of the security assistance we’ve provided has actually been spent here in the US with our manufacturers.”

The serial prevaricator stressed that Ukraine aid has “produced more American jobs, more growth in our own economy.” He didn’t cite any statistics. But don’t ask questions. You see, it’s win-win.

This is the kind of robotic, anti-human, tone-deaf argument that is often caused by chronic Adderall consumption. 600,000 dead Ukrainians were unavailable to comment on how 90% of the laundered aid money actually helps the U.S. economy. Twelve million displaced Ukrainians also did not return any requests for comment by the time of publication.

So... Blinken is admitting that the war was motivated by MIC interests?

Well, hasn't the WEF declared that dead Slavs can be ground up into wonderful fuels that compete with green measures? They are great fertilizer for next year's Ukrainian wheat crops, too. And all of those wonderful criminal economies of drug, child, human trafficking, and the weapons black markets feeding the other Hegelian conflicts in the world and Middle East all got a BIG shot in the arm. Have the Committee of 300 and the Swiss Octagon been pleased with their returns and future buying opportunities in the crime syndicates? One has to look on the bright side.

Secret foreign agent man Blinken, installed by who knows what neocon City of London MI6 Mossad CIA conglomerate nightmare, is trying to sell the Moloch sacrifices as a GOOD thing.

If he is going insane, GOOD. It means the demons are rudderless.

?? That "readers context " did debunk that implication "the SecDef will send American troops to Ukraine merely because aid was denied."

I think the chance of Russia invading Europe after winning in Ukraine is zero. The reason Russia annexed Crimea and invaded Ukraine is that Puti does not want a NATO naval base at Sevastopol. and Odessa.

I think at worse what the Russians will do is Finlandize Eastern Europe.

I heard a Soviet general speak about "Finlandization." He said it was odd that the West describes Finland that way when Finland is the only country that militarily defeated the USSR. The general said that Soviet tanks had visited many European capitals and even Peking, but never have Soviet tanks visited Helsinki even though the Soviets lost a million men trying to conquer Finland.

The Finns got in bed with Nazi Germany in order to stave off eventual conquest in the Winter War. Therefore there was no way the Allies were going to come to their defense if the Sovs decided to press the issue post V-E Day.

And after the war, when the Soviets had millions under arms and just doing occupation duty in E. Europe, Finland was fucked. This wasn't the basketcase Red Army that existed just a few years before.

Everybody knew this. The Finns especially. Apparently this general you are quoting never got this history lesson.

Just like what the Russian Federation is fielding now against Ukraine vs 18 months ago. Something that the Ukey Nazi Fluffers here don't know or refuse to believe when told.

Since our enemies are in Europe and Britain and the Gestapo CIA/MI6 etc. etc., and the Ukrainian thing is an ancient Slav/KMaf Nazi soap opera that the neocon infiltrators have forced on us, Putin cutting a swath through Switzerland might be the lesser of two evils. There is nothing at this point that indicates that Putin is working to eliminate 95 percent of humanity for demon overlords, so our chances with him are better.

Let Eurasia eat itself, and let Africa AIDs itself to death.

All the US has to do is say fuck it to the rest of the world, which will subsequently be eaten and subsumed by the Rothschilds and Globohomo, who themselves will soon starve/die due to the exhaustion of ready adrenochrome.

Ep. 47 Gonzalo Lira is an American citizen who’s been tortured in a Ukrainian prison since July, for the crime of criticizing Zelensky. Biden officials approve of this, because they’d like to apply the same standard here. The media agree. Here’s a statement from Gonzalo Lira’s father.

Wow, Gonzalo Lira's father is a man worth listening to.

I didn't know Lira was a US Citizen. I thought he was Italian.

I think his parents are from Chile.

Could be the Ukrainian artillery shelling in Russian occupied areas of Donbas, eastern Ukraine

Donbas was already very pro-Russian because it was Stalinized.

Stalin put Russians in that region. I read now Russia is moving eastern Russians to eastern Ukraine in the same context of Stalinzation.

Russia learned the hard way that Ukraine is not pro-Kremlin outside of Donbas area; just examine how the Russian military fared in Bucha and in the region east of Kiev.

The Kremlin is now trying to slowly grind down the political will and sovereignty of Ukraine to get its citizenry to accept the Kremlin's cease fire conditions.

America Provoked and Fed This War

What I want to address today is the burden of guilt that the United States bears for this pointless tragedy.

First, Washington arrogantly blew off a long series of Russian warnings — escalating warnings, year after year — that Russia would go to war if we continued to try to pull Ukraine into the orbit of Western militaries and defense contractors. The Russians objected to the idea of Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); and more specifically, they objected to ongoing U.S. covert and overt involvement in Ukraine’s frequent political crises, and in its civil war in the Donbas.

(Is it surprising that Russia objects to NATO, a hostile military alliance, scheming and skulking on its doorstep? Decades ago, when Cuba joined in an anti-American alliance with the Soviet Union, we were so infuriated at the idea of a nuclear-armed power sneaking around on our doorstep that we took the world to the brink of annihilation.) ...

The final year before the Russian invasion was one of escalating, tense diplomacy — a time when the Russians repeatedly asked for the U.S. and NATO to stop our CIA covert ops and other provocations and get out of Ukraine — or to at least negotiate about that situation — and Washington repeatedly brushed them off.

And when Russia finally did invade?

At that point, we rubbed our hands together gleefully, and poured exponentially more weapons and money into the conflict. The war metastasized to a far greater size and scale. Congress spent more on this new war in Ukraine than it did on roads and bridges for America. U.S. war profits soared. Soon, we were treated to surreally instructive scenes like that of the U.S. President speaking from a podium at a munitions factory in Alabama, surrounded on stage not by fellow human beings, but by missiles all standing at attention in place of people. ...

And now that the war is approaching an inevitable turning point — to continue with a strained analogy, now that the silverback gorilla has beat the 10-year-old senseless — the war-profiteering sales pitch is more cynical than ever.

The White House can no longer convincingly claim it’s helping Ukrainians when it demands another $60 billion “for the war.” So, it’s switched to claiming it’s helping Arizonians and Pennsylvanians:



... They’ve also adopted the shrillest of scare tactics. President Joe Biden this week, berating Congress for not supporting his latest request for billions more for Ukraine, raised the specter that this disgusting new American weakness would lead to “something that we don’t seek and that we don’t have today: American troops fighting Russian troops.” In a classified briefing to Congresspeople, Biden’s defense secretary echoed that, reportedly demanding they vote more money for the Ukraine war effort or “we’ll send your uncles, cousins and sons to fight Russia.”

We Forced Ukraine to Tear Up a Signed Peace Agreement

Which brings us to the second great, damning charge against Washington: Mere days into the war, there was already a grave danger: the possible outbreak of peace. Such a development would have derailed the defense contractor gravy train. It would have also dashed the lunatic dreams of men like Raytheon board member-turned Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that we could use this moment — this wonderfully convenient Ukraine war — to “weaken Russia.” ...

Washington’s schemers leapt into action, and actively sabotaged this promising peace agreement.

That’s right. Beltway insiders overruled the Russians and the Ukrainians, and sent them both back to work on our war. ...

Hundreds of Thousands Dead, It’s the ‘Best Money We’ve Ever Spent!’
That the White House stepped in to torpedo peace talks for its own ghoulish ends has been attested to now by everyone from top Ukrainian officials and U.S. foreign policy scholars to a former German chancellor and a former Israeli prime minister.

“The Ukrainians did not agree to peace because they were not allowed to. They first had to ask the Americans about everything they discussed,” said former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, in an interview with the newspaper Berliner Zeitung. Schroder participated in mediating the peace talks. He says, “My impression is that nothing could happen because everything else was decided in Washington.” ...

Half a million young Slavic men — Russian and Ukrainian — have been killed or maimed.

Millions of families have become refugees.

Our government saw this tragedy coming and welcomed it.

I suspect that Blinken and Nuland simply wanted all those Slavs to die as a revenge for the anti-Semitism their grandparents experienced.

It is the Ukry Nazi Fluffers who bear this burden.

Zelensky is on the road to feel out the power of his blackmail currency and establish flight paths out of Ukraine. I hope he winds up someplace where they serially fleece the shit out of him and his plunder, or do a Trotsky on him. Slow burn or fast burn, as long as it's a burn.

It'd be fun to get a McAfee dump and a Zelensky dump all at the same time. It wouldn't be good gamesmanship on timing and slow release, but it would definitely be fun to hear the echoes of panic from the Pentagon to the Swiss Alps.

https://twitter.com/NatalkaKyiv/status/1733529524640288816/mediaViewer

Puts to rest the following favorite fallacies of p.net:

1) "they were mass-killing Dumb Ass peeps" - just like Lavrov confirms only 8 deaths in whole 2021;

2) "the goal of the SCHMO is to grab exactly what Red Army has grabbed so far and therefore victory parade is in order" - confirms that the goal was the regime change and total occupation;

3) "Ukie were going to attack and occupy the USSR proper" - confirms that the max Ukie were to pursue was the restoration of their legal borders in Dumb Ass region;

4) doesn't even mention the stupid stuff like "Nazis" or "bioWEAPONSlabs" - even the fucking Soviet propagandists have moved on from that moronic shit.

A declassified U.S. intelligence report assessed that the Ukraine war has cost Russia 315,000 dead and injured troops, or nearly 90% of the personnel it had when the conflict began, a source familiar with the intelligence said on Tuesday.

The report also assessed that Moscow's losses in personnel and armored vehicles to Ukraine's military have set back Russia’s military modernization by 18 years, the source said.

The Russian embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Russian defense ministry and Kremlin officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

The source said the recently declassified U.S. intelligence report assessed that Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 with 360,000 personnel.
Since then, the report found, 315,000 Russian troops, or about 87% of the total with which it started the war, have been killed or injured, the source said.

The source said those losses are the reason Russia has been forced to loosen recruitment standards and draft convicts and older civilians to deploy in Ukraine.

"The scale of losses has forced Russia to take extraordinary measures to sustain its ability to fight. Russia declared a partial mobilization of 300,000 personnel in late 2022, and has relaxed standards to allow recruitment of convicts and older civilians," the assessment said, according to the source.

The Russian army has been left with 1,300 armored vehicles on the battlefield and is having to bolster those forces with T62 tanks produced in the 1970s, the source said.

Yeah, I also believe the 50 to 1 death and casualty rates they used to report for the Vietnam war, because, well, Western Intel agencies with agendas of Satanic lies, money laundering, trafficking, and black market distributions are always the fonts of truth I seek out for information.

"We lost like pitiable wretched 90 pound weaklings, but we really won, because we really, really hurt that Soviet Bear kicking sand in our faces. Really. They really, really went OUCH."

They will be 'ouching' all the way to the partition while the Kiev nazis scatter like rats to their yachts and estates.

I am sure that it is pure coincidence that my Twitter feed is flooded with all kinds of Ukrainian propaganda crap while Zelensky is in DC hobnobbing with the senators.

And calling Republican congresscritters 'Putin-loving MAGA Nazis' is a surefire way to get more money from Congress, I am sure. Ignoring the role of the House also is a brilliant move, too.

Do you have an estimate of Russian casualties? All this talk about Russia "winning" is worthless if we don't know their true cost.

I have personally seen thousands of Russian casualties just on the drone Youtube and Telegram videos.

If Russian casualties are even a quarter of what most Western estimates are - it is still an appalling loss of life that will set Russian demographics back decades.

See above. Ukraine is far more fucked and has nothing to show for it should it end up under Russian occupation.

And Russian soldiers are infamous in their baby making abilities with females under their tender occupation care, too. They go door to door to perform gang-rapes every day. That's when they aren't raping them right on the street for all to see.

— The New York Times ran an all too telling headline yesterday confirming what we have long known: the government has no idea what it’s doing in Ukraine. It still wants another $100 billion dollars to do it, whatever it is, of course. Just pour money on the problem and and hope for the best:
