Update on the conflict in Ukraine for March 10, 2024...
- US President Joe Biden claims Ukraine can “beat Putin” if given the weapons and ammunition to do so;
-The weapons and ammunition simply do not exist in the necessary quantities to do so and what is being sent to Ukraine is performing far short of expectations;
- US-made M1 Abrams destroyed by Russian T-72B3 dispelling the myth of American military superiority;
- Western arms manufacturers continue claiming interest in building facilities inside Ukraine but fail to explain how they would prevent such facilities from being destroyed by Russian missiles and drones;
- The West is failing to deliver sufficient amounts of artillery ammunition with a recent plan to secure rounds from outside the EU falling short of its 800,000 target;
- Increasing talk of more direct Western intervention in Ukraine suggests growing desperation among Western capitals;
“Increasing talk of more direct Western intervention in Ukraine suggests growing desperation among Western capitals;”
That is the money quote. If the war was going well there would never be talk of NATO troops fighting and dying in the Ukraine. They are desperate.
