Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

"Negotiations between Turkey, Sweden and Finland on a NATO bid have been postponed indefinitely at Ankara's request, a source stated to RIA Novosti"

One wonders if Sweden and Finland are calling Turkey through back channels and saying OH THANK! YOU THANK! YOU THANK YOU! Erdogan!

(Convenient)
Now they cannot be faulted for not "trying" to get into NATO, but mean ol Turkey just won't let them in.

I think a hot war is a nuclear war and we all agree that won't happen. We agree, right.....? Riiiight?

Well if Kantek can be blown up, why would Earth be so special?

Well if Kantek can be blown up, why would Earth be so special?

Only remaining planet in this solar system capable of hosting 3D life (or other organic physical based life)

Also, I doubt the current bunch of psychopaths are the worst thing Earth has encountered (and it's been here a long time, a long long time).

What country also marks it’s armor with sacred cabal/masonic V and Z? Coincidence?

I didn't understand anything. In the photo there is one cabal-Masonic letter V, and where is Z lost? And why did you forget about the super cabal-Masonic letter O? A coincidence? If you think so, then you would explain what coincides with what and what exactly you see it in.

The Russian military managed to capture the HIMARS missile control system as a trophy.

As a result of the strikes by the Ukrainian military on the Kirovsky district of Donetsk, the Russian military managed not only to successfully shoot down several ammunition fired by HIMARS systems, but also to seize the control system of such missiles. The missile control unit, judging by the visual condition, was not damaged at all. This allows you to study its capabilities and develop a solution to counter attacks using HIMARS systems.

In the photos presented, you can see the control unit from the M30\M31 missile taken as a trophy by the Russian military. In the picture you can see that the block is completely intact. This provides an opportunity for its thorough study. However, it is still very difficult to guess what kind of information such a control unit will reveal, although it is obvious that we are talking about a missile guidance system for the target and control them through special protocols of military satellites and GPS satellites.

To date, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to use HIMARS systems to carry out attacks, however, the effectiveness of such weapons has seriously decreased.

Recently, videos were published from captured positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which were attended by Iranian artillery shells of issue 2022. This raised questions. Looks like there's an answer now.

Israel supports Ukraine by confiscating Iranian weapons and transferring them to Ukraine
Ukraine is armed with Iranian drones, ammunition and weapons.

The new Israeli ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, made a statement that Israel fully supports the Ukrainian side in the conflict between Kiev and Moscow and provides Ukraine with much more support than advertised. According to Prosor, Israel's support for Ukraine is not limited to what the media publish. In particular, the Israeli ambassador stated that the Israeli army regularly suppresses the illegal supply of Iranian weapons, which are subsequently transported to Ukraine.

"The Israeli army regularly stops the supply of weapons from Iran to Syria and Lebanon. Among them are Iranian drones and missiles that Russia uses in the conflict (the Russian side has previously denied the use of Iranian weapons - ed.)," Israeli Ambassador to Germany Ron Prosor said.

Earlier it became known that Ukraine is armed with weapons of the Iranian army, various ammunition and, most notably, even unmanned aerial vehicles of the reconnaissance type. Initially, there were suggestions that these weapons could be supplied by Tehran for Ukraine. However, taking into account Prosor's statement, such weapons and ammunition were supplied to Ukraine after they were confiscated from the Iranian side.

It is already somehow uninteresting to read/write about the supply of tanks to Ukraine. This is becoming a common place, especially since the first Leopards have already arrived on the territory of the country.

Leopard 2 tanks arrived in Ukraine - they were noticed in the area of Nikolaev
The first Leopard 2 tanks have already arrived in Ukraine.

At the moment, it is known that two tractors with Leopard 2A4 tanks have crossed the border of Romania and Ukraine and are currently in the southern part of the country. Tanks are supposed to be prepared for further use by Ukrainian troops in the near future.

Judging by the fact that the supply of tanks is carried out in small batches, it is obvious that in the West and in Ukraine they are afraid that after identifying areas with these combat vehicles, they may be hit before the tanks can take part in the battles. Nevertheless, it is very noteworthy that the supply of tanks is carried out from the Romanian border, and therefore it is not yet possible to establish the true identity of these combat vehicles.

According to a number of sources, tractors with Leopard 2 tanks were seen in the area of Nikolaev, moving in a northerly direction. The specific destination remains unknown for the time being, however, the deliveries that have begun indicate that the timing of the start of use of these combat vehicles may shift.

To date, Ukraine has about 100 trained crew members for the use of Leopard 2 tanks, which makes it possible to form a battalion from the first delivered combat vehicles.

Танки Leopard 2 прибыли на Украину - их заметили в районе Николаева

Here I agree with the previous author, everything that the Americans can reach, that can drive will go and everything that can fly will fly from Ukraine at the appropriate time.

As i have said, next step will be aviation, missiles etc. despite the logistics and other ‘difficulties’.

Now the Africans are pulling up with their T-74s. I, being a small specialist in this part, had never heard of such a modification before.

Ukraine received 173 T-74 tanks from the African country
Ukrainian resources report the delivery of almost six battalions of T-74 tanks by an African country.

According to Ukrainian sources, during negotiations between Ukraine and Morocco, the African state decided to transfer 173 T-74 tanks (an upgraded version of the tank for the needs of the Moroccan Armed Forces) to the AFU, which is enough to form almost six tank battalions. At the moment, the Ukrainian side has already received 70 combat vehicles of this type, while the transfer of hundreds more tanks requires some time. This, according to preliminary data, is due to the need for their repair and maintenance.

"Trukhin flew to Morocco and convinced the Moroccans to "divorce" Russia and Belarus. The first batch of 70 tanks is already with us," the Ukraine Now channel reports.

No official statements on this matter have been made by Morocco so far, however, this African country has previously categorically denied the direct supply of weapons to Ukraine, noting, however, that the supplies were carried out to European countries that sold it to Ukraine, for which Morocco is not responsible.

Just a quick note: it was 7 months ago. Not sure what's the point in posting it here now.

In regards to -

it appeared on whatreallyhappened in their regular content. I was confused as to why since it wasn't current which took me a little bit to comprehend. I posted anyway because it listed all the significant sites that were on the "strike" list - a friendly reminder ha ha . . . and, as I'm sure you're aware, Sott frequently post Flashback articles and I felt the same reasoning applied. I did consider deleting after posting, but then what would I say - oops? Decided to go with it.

Zakharova's POWERFUL Message To Olaf Scholz (EN Translated)

Maria Zakharova delivered a moving and powerful message to Olaf Sholz following his disastrous decision to open old wounds by delivering German Panzers once again to fight Russians. If you ever doubted the hurt, pain and trauma that is remembered, and still felt and carried by Russian people to this day, just look into Maria Zakharova's eyes as she recounts the words of her Grandmother.

An "historical " speech indeed, probably one of the most powerful, if not actually the most powerful and evocative speech she ever gave, I listened to the full version and had tears running down.
I cannot failed to notice the way she is dressed or the manner of her hair, the first impression I had is of somebody attending a funeral, Germany's funeral,(and probably Europe as well ) in a very somber mood she just highlighted on how in a single move Germany destroyed her own foreign policy "forever" ( 2 moves actually, if we taking in account the "we are at war with Russia "speech given by the Germany foreign minister few days ago , that she classified as "useless ").
Indeed, Carl Marx was right (at least on this point, if on little else) that history is repeating first as a tragedy and second as farce, we all know of the tragedy with millions upon millions of deaths and terror unleashed by the murderous Nazi regime and now we are witness at the farce.
I know that seems absurd, but Putin should actually send a "thank you" message to the little fool Olaf Scholz, if there was any need, he actually contributed more than any other westerner's fools to inflame the Russian already high patriotics sentiments...with enemies like that who really needs friends....

Abrams vs Terminators.

It seems that an idiot is behind the logistics of the war in Ukraine.

Desperation is the raw material of drastic change -William S. Burroughs

"For months, U.S. officials balked at sending M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, insisting they were too complicated and too hard to maintain and repair.

On Wednesday, that abruptly changed. Ukraine’s desperate pleas for tanks were answered with a sweeping, trans-Atlantic yes."

U.S. to send Ukraine more advanced Abrams tanks — but no secret armor

The U.S. is planning to send Kyiv the Abrams main battle tank in its more advanced M1A2 configuration, rather than the older A1 version that the military has in storage, according to three people with knowledge of the deliberations.

But the 31 tanks slated for Ukraine will not include the secret armor mix that makes the Army’s newest version so lethal, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations.

...federal policy forbids the export of Abrams with classified armor packages used by the U.S. military, which includes depleted uranium, according to a fourth person with knowledge of the policy. The U.S. strips the vehicles of this secret armor “recipe” before selling them to other countries. There are other armor packages the U.S. can provide for foreign military sales customers.

The M1A2 version of the Abrams tank includes sophisticated optics and controls that help commanders rapidly track friendly vehicles, identify enemy positions and process artillery requests.

How Much Time Would Need Ukrainian Tank Crews to Master Abrams

Since August 2022, there is an "Abrams Academy" set up in Poland, at the Land Forces training center in Poznań and several facilities in Biedrusko. At this specialized training camp, Polish military personnel is learning the combat and maintenance basics of the American Abrams main battle tank. Over the last three months, 150,000 soldiers have undergone the course, Defence24 reports.

... the training will take at least three months. Hasten to add, this estimate takes into account that Polish servicemen had already had plenty of opportunities to get acquainted with the Abrams during many bilateral or joint NATO drills previously.

BUT

●For months, U.S. officials balked at sending M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, insisting they were too complicated and too hard to maintain and repair.

●The Abrams' jet engine needs hundreds of gallons of fuel to operate.

● It will burn through fuel at a rate of at least two gallons per mile (4.7 liters per kilometer), whether the tank is moving or idling, Butler said, which means a constant supply convoy of fuel trucks must stay within reach so it can keep moving forward.

● The U.S. worried that the fuel demands would create a logistical nightmare for Ukrainian forces.

● like any jet engine, the Abrams' turbine needs air to breathe, which it sucks in through filtered rear vents. When those vent filters get clogged — whether by sand, as soldiers reported to GAO in 1992, or by debris they might encounter in Ukraine — they can't perform.

● it will take "many months" to deliver the Abrams tanks, but that the Leopards will arrive faster.

Well if Kantek can be blown up, why would Earth be so special?

I am "fairly confident" it will not "befall" us because this is the end of a 309,000 year cycle and we are witnesses to it. This "ain't our first rodeo".

Session 22 October 1994:

Q: (L) Did they do something like drop bombs?

A: No, no. This was done by psychic energy. There has been in a transient fashion of reality the danger of the same thing happening on your planet. Although we are quite confident it won't because we see all reality, past present and future. But, you must understand also that even in our particular perspective point, all reality is nonetheless fluid. There are still many choices of realities and possible futures and possible pasts and possible presents. But we feel fairly confident that that particular fate will not befall your planet, although it did the one then known as Kantek.

So Poland sent 250 of the PT-91 last year, which all likely ended up in smoke and now they clear out the rest to end as scrap metal in Ukraine along with their 'forebears'.

Yes, Polish generosity is more about making space for US Abrams tanks and getting rid of outdated tanks. Here is an article from Dec. 2022.

Two notes:
1. Even leading Polish politicians might be divided, or is Radoslaw Sikorski, MEP, and the husband of Anne Applebaum, a bit like the Ukrainian Alexey Nikolaevich Arestovich, who had a habit of spilling beans.

Ex-Polish FM names two major Ukrainian problems
The country’s elites have been mired in corruption while harboring geopolitical delusions, Radoslaw Sikorski has claimed

Ukraine was never able to achieve economic prosperity despite having a head start, due to widespread graft among officials and widely held delusions of being a significant global player, former Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has claimed.

In an interview with the magazine Krytyka Polityczna on Friday, Sikorski, who has represented Poland in the EU Parliament since 2019, stated that Ukrainian elites “were simply wasting their time.” In his view, they were “hiding their corruption and delusions of grandeur behind a story” that they were playing some big game with the US, Russia, Europe, and China.

The MEP recalled that after the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Ukraine had a huge edge over many other ex-Soviet republics and members of the former Eastern bloc. In particular, he said the country had “nuclear plants, an aviation industry, no debt and the most fertile land in the world.”

However, even before Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine last year, the country “had a GDP four times smaller than Poland,” the former minister pointed out, adding that Ukrainians “are now paying dearly for this maneuvering” by the elites.
Poland expands offer of tanks for Ukraine

Earlier this week, Sikorski suggested that Warsaw had considered partitioning Ukraine in the first weeks of the conflict. The allegation, however, was vehemently denied by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who accused Sikorski of acting “like a Russian propagandist.”

Once the second-largest economy in the Soviet Union, Ukraine was Europe’s poorest country by per-capita GDP as of 2020. Even before Russia’s military operation in February 2022, a major economic problem facing Ukraine stemmed from a popular revolt and hostilities in industry-heavy Donbass, which were sparked by a Western-backed coup in Kiev in 2014.

Another major reason Ukraine had become something of an economic backwater, however, is rampant corruption. According to Transparency International’s Corruption Perception index, Ukraine ranked 122 out of 180 countries globally as of 2021. The same year, Freedom House, a US government-financed non-profit organization, described graft in Ukraine as “endemic,” noting that the government’s efforts to combat it “have met resistance and experienced setbacks.”

2. The US is encouraging its allies in Europe to send weapons to UA, but since the time of receiving new weapons takes time, even if they have been ordered, is the US preparing to enter Europe more numerously in the name of protecting it? Below are examples from WW1 and WW2

In WW1 the US entered after almost three years:

The United States declared war on the German Empire on April 6, 1917, nearly three years after World War I started. A ceasefire and Armistice was declared on November 11, 1918. Before entering the war, the U.S. had remained neutral, though it had been an important supplier to the United Kingdom, France, and the other powers of the Allies of World War I.

In WW2 the US entered after two years:

The military history of the United States during World War II covers the victorious Allied war against the Axis Powers, starting with the 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor and ending with the 2 September 1945 surrender of Japan. During the first two years of World War II, the United States had maintained formal neutrality which was made official in the Quarantine Speech which was delivered by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937, while it was supplying Britain, the Soviet Union, and China with war materiel through the Lend-Lease Act which was signed into law on 11 March 1941, as well as deploying the US military to replace the British forces stationed in Iceland. Following the "Greer incident" Roosevelt publicly confirmed the "shoot on sight" order on 11 September 1941, effectively declaring naval war on Germany and Italy in the Battle of the Atlantic.[1] In the Pacific Theater, there was unofficial early US combat activity such as the Flying Tigers.

This time around, the US has been much more active, apart from never having left Germany since WW2. Also, the US has made separate bilateral agreements with some countries, like Poland, Norway and Denmark, which might continue to work even if NATO as a unit becomes more split.

Thank you for sharing this. This lady is an example of grace, intelligence and humanity. I don't believe we have any high ranking female politician of her caliber in the West, or elsewhere.
I couldn't believe it when I learned that German tanks would be sent to the front. It's not going to change the course of the war, but it re-opened the wounds of the Russians, and eastern european more generally, and for what?
