could tell that from the very start...yup.
Discernment yo.
Ukraine’s high casualty rate could bring war to tipping point
"Western officials prefer not to discuss the impact of the war on the defenders, instead highlighting the problems for the Russians in their briefings."
"But they chose not to provide similar estimates for Ukraine, which can create a lopsided impression that the Russians are faring worse."
It's exactly what they wanted you to think from the beginning, as well as not really highlighting the rise in energy and food prices that would soon follow the launch of the "special military operation", Thats the Kremlins words, not mine.
Also, the western intelligence agencies/governments portrayed the invasion as a way for Moscow to install a pro Russian government to keep the Ukraine from joining NATO, not as a war to end the current world economic system, ie The world bank, the IMF, the Dollar as the reserve currency of choice for central banks etc,
Opps? Or intentional? The end result is the same.
My question about the article is this, why does it not mention the fact that we are only sending 4 Himars when the Ukrainians say with 60 they could stop the Russians and we have "363 Himars and 225 M270 rocket launchers, and the US Marines have a further 47, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, while the UK has 35 of its version of the M270s – indicating there could be capacity to supply more to Ukraine."
Ukraine needs many more rocket launchers from west, says adviser
“If we get 60 of these systems then the Russians will lose all ability to advance anywhere, they will be stopped dead in their tracks. If we get 40 they will advance, albeit very slowly with heavy casualties; with 20 they will continue to advance with higher casualties than now,” he said.
The US army has 363 Himars and 225 M270 rocket launchers, and the US Marines have a further 47, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, while the UK has 35 of its version of the M270s – indicating there could be capacity to supply more to Ukraine.
Russia has repeatedly said it will intensify its offensive in Ukraine if the longer-range rockets are delivered. Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, said on Monday: “The longer the range of weapons you supply, the farther away the line from where neo-Nazis [the Ukrainians] could threaten the Russian Federation will be pushed.”
On Sunday Vladimir Putin said Moscow would strike “fresh targets” in Ukraine if the west stepped up its weapons deliveries. Early on Sunday morning Russia launched a cruise missile strike on a railway depot in an eastern suburb of Kyiv, the first time the capital had been struck in more than five weeks."
I think:
1) We know that this basically is over at this point.
2) We don't want a direct war with Russia
3) If Europe wants to keep buying Russian energy with some countries even agreeing to paying in Rubles mind you, then let them deal with this issue.
4) Were gonna need them ourselves here before to long.
And
5) Better to focus on China and Taiwan.
‘Smash to smithereens’: China threatens all-out war over Taiwan
“If anyone dares to split Taiwan from China, the Chinese army will definitely not hesitate to start a war no matter the cost,” Defence Minister Wei Fenghe said during a meeting with Lloyd Austin on Friday.
"Austin and Wei’s first face-to-face meeting comes as US President Joe Biden is seeking to spend more time on Asian security issues after months of focus on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine."
Nuclear Thunder! US Deploys 4 Heavy-Weight ‘Bone Bombers’ To Guam Amid Tensions With N.Korea, China
"Four B-1B Lancers, nicknamed ‘Bone Bombers’, arrived at Andersen Air Force Base (AFB) on Guam Island on June 4, amid rising tensions with China and North Korea and increasing concerns about Guam’s vulnerability to enemy attack."
(We wouldn't be sending them if we didn't think China wasn't going to attack)
"The latest B-1 deployment has come amid growing concerns about Guam’s vulnerability to enemy attack, especially from the various long-range and hypersonic weapons being developed by China."
(Their hypersonic weapons systems are offensive in nature BTW)
"...the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) plans to set up 360-degree sensor coverage, missile defenses, and a command center, in the US territory of Guam, according to the agency’s fiscal 2023 budget request."
(ya might wanna get them there before then)
"Moreover, the US Army had announced in November last year that one of its only ‘Iron Dome’, batteries purchased from Israel was being deployed in Guam as part of an experimental initiative for two months to study its viability for protection against cruise missile threats.
Also, according to the proposed MDA plan, Patriot missile defenses would also be added to the THAAD battery, thereby relieving the three to four Navy ships that are deployed rotationally for island protection.
Guam is home to major US military facilities, such as the Andersen AFB, the only US base in the Western Pacific capable of storing heavy bombers for extended periods which would be a key element of any future potential US conflict in the Indo-Pacific region, for example, with China in case it decides to invade Taiwan."
Therefore, China has been consistently working to acquire the capabilities needed to destroy the key facilities on Guam, so as to impede the US movement in the region.
For example, a few years ago, China unveiled the DF-26 intermediate-range ballistic missile, which is capable of killing targets up to 3400 miles (5471km) away. China labeled this missile “the Guam Killer.”
"Experts suggest that the US bomber force deployed at Guam poses an inexplicable threat to Beijing’s goal of reunifying Taiwan because of their capability to carry the new and stealthy Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM)."
"The stealth features of LRASM are said to make it immune to Chinese Navy and Air Force air defenses and permit it to remain at a high altitude during its initial approach to its targets—unlike almost all other cruise missiles, which drop to extremely low altitude flight well before coming inside the line-of-sight of their targets and their accompanying air defenses."
Moreover, the ability to remain at higher altitudes a for a longer duration allows the missile to use its multispectral sensor imaging suite to search for, locate, and identify all the potential targets in its field of view by literally “measuring” them and comparing the results against a database of ship types.
This means a large number of LRASMs can be programmed to select the best targets in a target-rich environment, such as China’s seaborne invasion force transiting across the 100-plus mile-wide (more than 160km wide) Taiwan Straits.
The LRASM achieved the initial operating capability (IOC) in 2018 when the USAF integrated the missile with its B-1 bomber force. It will also be incorporated in B-52s and Navy F-18s and P-8s. One B-1 can carry 24 LRASMs and one B-52 can carry 20.
So, considering that more than 50 US bombers are armed with LRASM, the Chinese ships operating almost anywhere in the Western Pacific would come under threat.
and...
"According to online flight tracking data, RC-135U aircraft, serial number 64-14849, flew a mission near China’s southern coast on June 6, including around Hainan Island and into the Gulf of Tonkin.
Hainan is home to China’s strategic Yulin Naval Base, where PLA Navy’s nuclear submarines remain docked."
(Sounds like were getting ready to me. Here is another question I got (Discernment)...Why is all this information coming from foreign sources these days?)
I hope your soul is ready, I really do...
Proverbs 22:29
Do you see a man skilled in his work?
He will be stationed in the presence of kings;
he will not stand before obscure men.
It's been resonating for a long time now.
Wars on two fronts, exactly what we couldn't handle. Almost like some people knew it. What was discussed at that Feb meeting again? Oh yeah, just hold off the invasion until after the Olympics are over...yeah...sure...right...gotcha...
Godspeed everybody.
I love you honey :-).
