And the GAE/MIC grifters don’t give a damn if the war materiel ever makes it to the eastern Ukraine battlefields, or if it’s blown up in arsenals or on rail cars or in truck convoys in Western Ukraine.

Right.

The dreamers in UPS delivery [Unicorn Parcel Service] of all these new weapons fail to understand the most simple facts of the battlefield logistics:

The weapons from the West have to cross 500-600 miles of Ukraine to the tip of the AFU spear - under the eye of Russian air power, artillery and missiles.

Russia can throw a rock west and hit the Donbass battlefield, without interdiction.

As you said - the MIC grifters don't care. Just like they didn't care about the tens of billions in weaponry left in Afghanistan.

“Russia can throw a rock west and hit the Donbass battlefield, without interdiction.”

Apparently their aim sucks.

Russian artillery is good for about 25 miles from their front lines. Russian air power is barely usable over most of the contested areas, and the Russian air force can't even keep propeller powered drones from attacking their forces. Russia has been able to launch missiles against things like shopping centers and apartment buildings, and some fuel depots and train tracks.

But the Ukrainians have been able to move a lot of newly supplied weapons into combat quickly. You can see them in action, and in some cases you can see them being destroyed or captured in combat.

You should tell the Russians that were in the vehicles shown below that they can hit the battlefield without interdiction. That would be news to them.

The rus nazis can't hit even 0,5% of the transports.
