UK already did this last month but more drip drip drip

Why is the west suddenly approving F-16s, long range missiles and depleted uranium shells? In the past they denied these things

What’s next? NATO troops in western Ukraine to free up Ukrainian troops so they can go fight on the frontlines?

I just heard an anecdote about a young American soldier who, according to his mom, "Just got back from Ukraine, oops Poland."

Just something I was told in conversation last week, take it for what you paid for it...

After being bombarded for an entire day with copium claims that the destroyed Ukrainian convoy with western armor was “CGI” or a “deepfake,” here’s some footage on the ground of some of those vehicles.

“M-Chitiri” means “M-4” (carbine)
Destroyed Leopards and Bradleys.
Dead bodies, “Punisher” patches, etc.

There are many US volunteers and many others from all over the world fighting in various International Battalions in Ukraine. No US troops, so don’t get wet.

People seem to have the notion that “depleted uranium tank rounds” are some kind of nuclear weapon. They are not, and in fact, have almost no radioactivity. Their purpose is to have a greater kinetic impact upon striking armor plate than say, those made of lead or some lead alloy, which has less impact, because of a lower density than uranium has as an element.

Also, it is a way to use up “spent” uranium fuel rods removed from nuclear reactors.

If you could keep it from spattering all over, mercury or gold would make very good tank rounds, but not practical under terrestrial conditions.

Because - this thing is going to expand until NATO is in open warfare. It will just continue to be incremented until that day.

“have almost no radioactivity”

But not something that a farmer wants in his fields.

Yep, NAOT is losing their proxy war and now needs to step it up and escalate it.

You are saying there are no long-term effects from the DU that is left in the soil after they are fired and are blasted into a molten mist?

Yugoslavians and Iraqis disagree.

Why not just train their pilots to fly the A-10 Warthog? Would scare the s*** out of the Russians.

I wonder if the public was generally aware of the presence of military advisors sent into Vietnam by Keenedy in the early 60’s?

I’m hearing through Euro sources (esp. the Duran) that the Ukes are getting meat-grindered; that most of the stuff delivered two months ago is gone.

Interesting to read the UK Daily Mail/UK Telegraph, both warmonger papers, who were cheerleading the war. Now they are pretty dire.

I thought we admitted there are at least “advisors” in Ukraine?

The only problem is Ukraine won’t have any equipment remaining that fires the depleted uranium rounds

Ya think maybe this has something to do with sending $100 billion + to Ukraine with almost no oversight?

Compare, contrast, analyze.

Not that I know of ... and any advisors would be in Poland or in Kiev, not at the front.
