Ukraine Loses Patience: Give Us the Damn Weapons

/12 Comments/in , , /by

The West should hurry up and hand over the “damn” missiles Ukraine demands, their foreign secretary says, remarking: “We need air-defence systems on the frontlines”.

An essential role of the Ukrainian state since even before Russia’s re-invasion in 2022 has been cajoling and even begging the West for more military equipment, but these calls have occasionally tripped into a more demanding mien. That time has rolled around again with one of the nation’s top politicians making strident demands to help stop the bombs falling.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, perhaps the final remaining senior member of Volodymyr Zelensky’s government to regularly wear a suit and tie rather than the near-ubiquitous olive green in public, said in quotes distributed by Ukrainian state media: “Give us the damn Patriots.”

The remarks came in an interview with Politico, and Kuleba explained his demand, speaking of new Russian weapons that were harder to intercept. The answer, he said, was to deploy more advanced air-defence weapons on Ukraine’s frontiers to shoot down the aircraft dropping the bombs, rather than the weapons themselves.

He said: “…If we had enough air defence systems, namely Patriots, we would be able to protect not only the lives of our people, but also our economy from destruction… You cannot jam [the new bombs]. It just falls on your head and destroys everything… We need air-defence systems on the frontlines”. (Read more from “Ukraine Loses Patience: Give Us the Damn Weapons” HERE)

Russia Outpacing U.S., Europe on Artillery-Shell Production Three to One: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia is producing three times as many artillery shells than the combined totals of the United States and its European allies.

A senior European intelligence official told CNN that Russia has been producing 250,000 shells per month — 3 million per year — while the combined defense-industrial capacities of both the U.S. and NATO limit production to about 1.2 million over the same span. The U.S. military set a goal of 100,000 rounds per month by the end of 2025, CNN reports, but that the goal is now unattainable given the $60 billion in Ukraine funding currently in congressional limbo.

The report comes as Russia gains the upper hand in its invasion of Ukraine, having recently captured the city of Avdiivka in the Donbas region. A NATO official told CNN that artillery is the most important aspect of the ongoing war, saying it is in that area where Russia has both “a significant production advantage” and “a significant advantage on the battlefield.”

The report also mentions that, aside from its own domestic production, Russia has imported large quantities of munitions. Iran sent Russia at least 300,000 artillery shells and North Korea delivered at least 6,700 containers carrying millions, according to the NATO official.

While U.S. and NATO leaders have said they do not expect Russia to make significant gains during a forthcoming offensive, Putin has recently begun targeting Ukrainian weapons factories with long-range missiles and drones.

WWIII WATCH: Putin Warns of Nuclear Consequences if Western Troops Enter Ukraine; Germany Appears to Have Inadvertently Revealed the UK and France have Soldiers in Ukraine

/5 Comments/in , /by

In a startling escalation of tensions, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a stern warning that any deployment of Western troops in Ukraine could lead to global nuclear conflict. The ominous statement comes amidst rising concerns over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the potential for broader international involvement.

Putin declared Russia’s willingness to use its “entire arsenal” if the conflict in Ukraine does not go in its favor. The Russian leader accused Western allies of contemplating the deployment of troops to Ukraine and warned of severe consequences if such a move were to occur.

French President Emmanuel Macron recently stated that sending Western soldiers to Ukraine “could not be ruled out.” He emphasized the need to do everything possible to prevent Russia from prevailing in the conflict.

Putin, during his address, accused Western allies of selecting targets for striking Russian territory and discussed the possibility of sending a NATO contingent to Ukraine. He warned that the consequences for potential invaders would be “far more tragic” than in previous instances when foreign troops were sent to Russian territory.

In a somewhat taunting tone, Putin questioned whether Western leaders truly understood the gravity of the situation, suggesting that they were treating the conflict as a simulation. He asserted that these leaders, who he claimed hadn’t faced tough challenges, seemed to have forgotten the harsh realities of war.

The international community now faces a precarious situation, with diplomatic efforts likely to intensify to prevent further escalation and find a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.

Germany Appears to Have Inadvertently Revealed the UK and France have Soldiers in Ukraine

By Breitbart. German Chancellor Scholz stands accused of handing Russia a propaganda coup in order to smooth over his own political difficulties as he claims the presence of British and French soldiers aiding Ukrainian forces.

Scholz has been accused of abusing intelligence and being a bad ally by angry NATO politicians after his remarks about the level of involvement he claims there is of the British and French in the deployment of the Storm Shadow / SCALP cruise missiles they have given to Ukraine, and which have been deployed with devastating effect. . .

It is a little-discussed fact that many NATO states have soldiers in Ukraine, but these troops are generally present only to protect the embassies of those nations in Kyiv, and to safeguard diplomatic staff. In some cases they have additional roles: the United States has been open about the fact it has a limited presence of soldiers who track what happens to the enormous amounts of high-tech weapons systems the West gives to Ukraine, for the sake of accountability. Indeed, that presence was re-confirmed only this week by John Kirby.

In the case of the United Kingdom, an apparently off-guard remark by a senior military officer in 2022 revealed there may be more going on behind the scenes, the Lieutenant General saying there had been “discreet operations in a hugely sensitive environment and with a high level of political and military risk”. The British government later strongly denied having any active troops in Ukraine, however, warning against “taking at face value allegations that have the potential to spread disinformation”.

Our Most Serious National Security Threat Isn’t Russian Nukes in Space, It’s Intelligence Agencies in Washington

/1 Comment/in , /by

It was a busy day in Washington on Wednesday as the intelligence bureaucracy tried to foment a national security panic over Russian nukes in space in hopes of ramming through the Ukraine aid package and killing reforms designed to curb its power to spy on Americans.

Lest you think that sounds crazy, consider the timing of the panic provocations, which came almost immediately after House Speaker Mike Johnson said he and other Republicans weren’t going to be “rushed” into approving the $61 billion aid package for Ukraine. It also came at the precise moment — just coincidentally! — that the House was debating reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, set to expire in April, that would end warrantless surveillance of Americans, which of course the White House and intelligence agencies oppose.

All of it just goes to show that the most serious threat facing America isn’t Russian nukes in space or overseas terrorist plots, it’s the political class in Washington and our intelligence agencies that think they’re above the law.

Here’s what happened. On Wednesday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner issued a cryptic warning about a “national security threat” related to a “destabilizing foreign military capability” so grave that President Biden should declassify all information about it immediately. Soon thereafter, anonymous sources leaked to the press that the threat was about Russia wanting to put nuclear weapons in space.

This prompted a flood of statements from Republicans and Democrats that the threat was very serious — but not to worry, they have the situation under control. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters he had already scheduled a briefing with congressional leaders on the matter before Turner made his statement, and don’t worry, President Biden “is going to ensure the security of the American people.” (Read more from “Our Most Serious National Security Threat Isn’t Russian Nukes in Space, It’s Intelligence Agencies in Washington” HERE)

Did Our Intelligence Agencies Suggest the Russia Hoax to Hillary Clinton’s Campaign?

/1 Comment/in , /by

Tuesday’s explosive news — that long before the FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane on July 31, 2016, the U.S. intelligence community had asked foreign intel agencies to surveil 26 people connected to Donald Trump — raises the question of whether our intelligence community colluded with the Clinton campaign in these efforts. After all, it was then-Biden campaign adviser and now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken who “set in motion the events that led to” 51 former intel officials issuing the public statement that falsely framed the Hunter Biden’s laptop story as Russian disinformation.

If a Biden campaign adviser conspired with some of the biggest names in the intelligence community a month before the 2020 election to bury the damaging scandal, it is no stretch to think the Hillary Clinton campaign might have sought an assist from the same folks to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

We’ve also long known the Clinton campaign funded the Steele dossier, the primary evidence used by the FBI to obtain four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act wiretap orders against a Trump campaign associate. The Clinton campaign’s efforts to peddle the Russia-collusion hoax to the FBI and the media are likewise well-established.

But did the Clinton campaign’s plot to portray Trump as a Russian asset also involve the intelligence community, and if so, when did those efforts start?

Open-source material suggests the Clinton campaign’s efforts to push the Russia angle against Trump began in June 2016, when the Democrat law firm Perkins Coie contracted with Fusion GPS, which in turn retained Christopher Steele to investigate Trump’s connections to Russia. While there are several connections between the Clinton campaign and members of the intelligence community beginning in July, there is a dearth of evidence suggesting coordination between the two before then.

Schumer’s Intimidation: U.S. Troops May Be Deployed to Eastern Europe Without $60 Billion Border Bill (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has issued a stark warning that U.S. troops could be sent to eastern Europe within a few years if the Senate fails to pass a crucial border bill providing $60 billion in aid to Ukraine. Schumer made this warning during an appearance on MSNBC on Monday.

Schumer’s argument revolves around the belief that if the U.S. does not support Ukraine with aid, Russian President Vladimir Putin could potentially expand his influence, leading to a scenario where American forces might find themselves engaged in conflict in eastern Europe, particularly in a NATO ally. This is a common narrative the Biden administration utilizes to justify funding the Ukrainian war, despite millions of lost U.S. funds and weapons.

President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had previously made similar arguments, warning that without additional aid, U.S. troops could end up fighting Russian forces if Putin were to attack a NATO ally. Schumer echoed these concerns, urging the Senate to pass the border bill to provide even more taxpayer assistance to Ukraine.

The proposed legislation not only allocates $60 billion in aid to Ukraine but also includes $14 billion for Israel. Schumer argued that if the bill fails to pass, the conflict between Israel and Hamas would persist. However, the proposed border bill only earmarks $20 billion for border-related issues, a fraction of the amount designated for Ukraine, further highlighting Biden’s “American’s Last” narrative.

NATO Warns of All-Out War With Russia in Next 20 Years

/3 Comments/in , /by

Civilians must prepare for all-out war with Russia in the next 20 years, a top Nato military official has warned.

While armed forces are primed for the outbreak of war, private citizens need to be ready for a conflict that would require wholesale change in their lives, Adml Rob Bauer said on Thursday.

Large numbers of civilians will need to be mobilised in case of the outbreak of war and governments should put in place systems to manage the process, Adml Bauer told reporters after a meeting of Nato defence chiefs in Brussels.

“We have to realize it’s not a given that we are in peace. And that’s why we [Nato forces] are preparing for a conflict with Russia. . .

Adml Bauer, a Dutch naval officer who is chairman of Nato’s Military Committee, praised Sweden for asking all of its citizens to brace for war ahead of the country formally joining the alliance. (Read more from “NATO Warns of All-Out War With Russia in Next 20 Years” HERE)

Ukraine Rejects Ceasefire With Russia

/1 Comment/in , /by

Ukrainian officials vowed to continue the war against Russia until Moscow returns all of the occupied territory during a so-called peace summit in Davos, Switzerland ahead of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum.

Switzerland hosted a meeting of 81 representatives from countries and international organisations in Davos on Sunday to discuss a formula “for a lasting and just peace in Ukraine”. American officials from the Biden administration attended the meeting, including U.S. special representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery Penny Pritzker and the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien, Reuters reports.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is expected to address the globalist World Economic Forum meeting later in the week, was represented in the talks by Andriy Yermak, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. There were no officials from the Kremlin in attendance.

Following the meeting, Yermak rejected the notion of a ceasefire between his country and Russia, claiming that it would only allow for Moscow to fortify its forces for another future attack on Ukraine.

“It’s definitely not the path to peace. The Russians do not want peace. They want domination. So, the choice is simple: either we lose and vanish – or win and live on. And we are fighting,” Yermak wrote on his personal Telegram channel. (Read more from “Ukraine Rejects Ceasefire With Russia” HERE)

Putin: Russia ‘Will Never Back Down’ as Ukraine War Enters Third Year

/4 Comments/in , /by

As the approaching two-year mark of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine casts a somber shadow, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a New Year’s address vowing that Russia “will never back down.” In the face of mounting casualties and economic challenges fueled by Western sanctions, Putin aimed to reassure a war-weary nation with a resolute message.

In his address, Putin expressed confidence in Russia’s ability to overcome difficulties, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He asserted, “We will never back down because there is no such force that can divide us, make us forget the memory and faith of our fathers, or stop our development.” Describing Russia as one country and one big family, Putin emphasized unity as the key to the nation’s future strength and prosperity.

The New Year’s address coincided with alarming reports about the impact of the Ukraine war on the Russian military. The UK Ministry of Defence revealed a significant rise in the average daily number of Russian casualties in 2023. According to British intelligence assessments, if this trend continues, Russia could lose over half a million military personnel in the next year. Additionally, concerns were raised about the time needed for Russia to rebuild a well-trained and experienced military force, with predictions of a “low quality, high quantity mass army” in the interim.

The high casualty rate has led to rare protests in Russia, where mothers and wives have called for an end to the conscription of their loved ones. Despite these challenges, Putin appears to be in a stronger position than at the beginning of the year. He successfully navigated a rebellion attempt by Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and thwarted Ukraine’s much-anticipated “Spring counteroffensive.”

While Ukraine faces financial constraints, with funding from the U.S. and EU in limbo, Russia’s steadfastness in the conflict has led to a crisis of confidence among Ukraine’s Western financial backers. Despite war fatigue on both sides, there is little indication that either Russia or Ukraine is willing to back down.

Explosive Revelation: Julian Assange’s Team Member Confirms Seth Rich as DNC Email Leaker, Contradicting Mueller’s Russia Narrative

/8 Comments/in , , /by

In a shocking turn of events, Texas Lindsay has reportedly spoken with a member of Julian Assange’s team, revealing information that challenges the narrative presented in Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. According to the source, Seth Rich, a former Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer whose murder remains unsolved, was the individual responsible for leaking DNC emails to WikiLeaks.

The revelation directly contradicts Mueller’s report, which pointed to Russian involvement in the hacking and subsequent leaking of sensitive DNC information. The Mueller investigation, conducted to examine possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, concluded that Russian hackers were the source of the leaked emails.

The Twitter post by @JohnBasham, citing @TexasLindsay_’s conversation with a member of Assange’s team, has ignited a fresh wave of speculation and controversy surrounding the events leading up to the 2016 election. If proven true, this information could have far-reaching implications for the public’s understanding of the DNC email leak and the ongoing debate over Russian interference.

There has been significant speculation that the DNC staffer’s death was connected to his alleged involvement in the DNC email leak. The new information, if substantiated, could reshape the narrative surrounding Rich’s death and prompt further investigations into the circumstances of the leak.
