Weapons for Ukraine’s Fight Against Russia Flow Through Small Polish Border Towns
WSJ ^ | 23-MAR-2022 | Drew Hinshaw

RZESZOW, Poland—Day and night, truck convoys rumble through once quiet Polish border towns and villages. Giant military transport planes land several times an hour on the single runway at a local airport. Their cargo: weapons for the Ukrainian forces fighting to beat back Russia’s invading army.

The U.S. and its North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies have been racing for weeks to deliver antitank missiles, air-defense batteries and other armaments in one of the largest international arms transfers since World War II. Hundreds of millions of dollars of weaponry has already been shipped.

Key takeaway:

"Western security officials say their strategy initially envisaged equipping a nascent Ukrainian insurgency—recalling the transfer of weapons to mujahedeen fighters who defeated the Soviet Union in Afghanistan—that would employ guerrilla tactics against Russian occupiers.

Instead, because Ukraine’s military has managed to keep Moscow’s forces at bay in much of the country, the task has become equipping a regular army engaged in a large-scale conventional war."

Your homepage states: Localization, not Globalization.

But apparently those words mean nothing to you in reality, because you are playing right into the hands of globalization with your rah rah for Ukraine.

STFU. Loose lips sink ships. Used to be such disclosures would get you a visit from the military and FBI. I guess they are busy running down parents at school board meetings these days though.

“On a recent day, soldiers from the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division stood by the runway as other personnel swiftly unloaded a Turkish Gulfstream G450, which didn’t appear on ordinary flight-tracking websites. Turkey has supplied armed drones that Ukraine has used to attack Russian armored columns and other targets.”

Putin: General, I want you to fire hypersonic missiles at these small Polish border towns!

General: You mean - Attack NATO?

Putin: Yes!

General: Mr. President, are you crazy?

True: why we continuously telegraph our intentions and operations is a mystery unless there's an infectious case of stupidity affecting our leadership. The latter seems all too probable. The other possibility is that the evidence of Russian military weakness and the flood of refugees into Poland is making the Poles itch for an opportunity to kick the bear's behind.

One missile strike on Polish territory and they invoke Article V and Polish MiGs would quickly be operating over Ukraine and Belarus.

“Nothing like publishing where your supply lines are.”

The routes are pretty obvious.

Nah. He’s supporting Ukrainian localization and opposing Russian-style globalization.

The FBI, working to protect Biden’s Ukraine operations. Sounds about right.

Why don't you focus your concentration on stopping the illegal invasion on America, for it is destroying this country, and quit being a pawn for the globalist elites.

Do you have family in Ukraine?

If so, you need to go help them fight.

My key takeaway: WSJ is doing its part to bait Russia into attacking Poland, thereby activating article V of the NATO charter.

First its attempted Mig transfers, which Poland deftly handled,and now publicising arms shipments. Its almost as if someone wants to activate Article V and at the same time devestate an EU country that is resisting the diktats coming from Brussels.

Well that may be what he and yourself think he’s doing, but you are obviously not paying attention. Instead you are playing right into plans designed by the globalist movement.

I’m on the brink of questioning publically the patriotism of the cheerleaders on both sides of the Ukraine mess. Its obvious they’re not interested in the national interests of the US (it might be in the interest of Deep State bad actors, but not the general welfare of the people of the United States).

This mad rush into direct conflict between NATO and Russia is extremely troubling. At some point I imagine that Putin might simply level Kyiv with a tactical nuke or two, and all hell will break loose. The risk of this war escalating into a direct nuclear confrontation between the U.S. and Russia is not negligible at all.

I thought there were elements of a deal in place a couple weeks ago that would ratchet down this thing, save face for Putin, and lead to a ceasefire. What happened to that? Where are the peacemakers, the diplomats, the adults for crying out loud?!
