In a twist I didn't expect this early, the US military is starting to withdraw equipment in active service to send to Ukraine.

I'm getting word from team guys (special forces) that they're being forced to turn in their Carl Gs (Carl Gustaf 8.4 cm recoilless rifle, an indispensable piece of equipment to SF teams), to send to Ukraine. This removes a very important item out of an operator's kit.

Have your bravos prep your Carl Gs for turn in. I've fought back on it as long as I can. Grp CDR said tough sh_t. SECDEF is sending them to Ukraine.

Not just SF you didn't hear it from me, but HIMARS systems slated for my regiment were sent there along with most of the ammo allotted to the regiment for training this year for both Tubes and Rockets

We're being played to become defenseless

Apparently it's also happened to the other Marine Corps Artillery Regiments

Sec Def in collecting all the Carl Gs the inventory and sending them to Ukraine.

China:

Walk Right In and Sit Right Down.

We have a NWO war in Ukraine.

NATO has screwed America royally thanks to Joe Biden The Obama Puppet. This is Obama’s revenge against the colonial powers on behalf of Black and Brown Peebles every where.
This is CRT applied to International Policy.

China is righteous you see, because Amereica helped ruin China with Opium. destroyed China. The Dragon gets its revenge.Fentanyl is the iceing on the cake.

Nuclear war is almost a given now.

The commies are further disarming America. Next they will bring in the Blue Helmets to “protect” us from those dangerous Patriots who believe in the Constitution.

Q: Is what us going on in Ukraine a hot war...or a mutually agreed upon noisy occupation for the purpose of scamming money out of US taxpayers?

Why are we taking Deep State’s word for the fact that there’s a war on over there?

This confirms my thinking/suspicions about the US supporting the Ukes to the detriment of our own forces. I guess our only hope now is the Red Wave is at least successful in flipping the House so some semblance of oversight can occur.

All things considered, including who is actually coming into the US from our southern border, we are possibly/probably looking at guerilla warfare in our near future, imo.

By disarming the military now gives time for the various bureaucracies to continue to arm up, creating 0bama’s dream of a government-controlled civilian counter to the military.

FReepers, reread this post and let me know if you have ever met a US Marine that uses this type of syntax and sentence structure(variable). Please, most of what is flying around FR about this war is BS from both sides.

Ukraine burns through the weaponry at an alarming rate and it appears Biden will leave no stone unturned to make sure the collapse does not happen before the midterms. He can’t have another Afghanistan before the election.

It feels like it’s building that way, from several hotspots these days.

And we have Joe. And KH. With Nancy on deck.

It’s more of a 24/7 Blitzkrieg against America aimed at our economy, social mores, law and order, etc. It is a full blown, concentrated attack on what makes up the USA.

The source “Dr. Snekotron” presents himself as a communist from India, but his posts are almost exclusively Russian propaganda.

I think American officials are very concerned right now. I posted this earlier on another thread but it probably explains why Biden is grasping at straws and even taking away our soldier’s weapons.

Interesting news today....

August 12 I posted this.

Intel Slava Z
🇷🇺🇺🇦 A source told the official that the largest air military operation in the last thirty years is being prepared in the next few weeks. This is the reason for the sabotage in Novofedorovka, the failed attack on Zyabrovka and the aggressive attempts of the Ukrainians to arrange a man-made disaster at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

The air operation will be carried out by massive aviation forces in close cooperation with formations and units of other branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

About a week ago I read on a post on Telegram saying that there were now 400+ planes and 300+ helos deploying on the border. I connected that with what I had read a week earlier about the “largest air military operation in the last thirty years is being prepared.”

Large amounts of long range anti-aircraft systems as well as full umbrellas of SHORAD systems are being amassed in Belarus, all in range to cover Ukraine. Belarusian airfields are showing high Russian Armed Forces activity. This suggests Russia is preparing…

Looking over satellite imagery, there’s definitely unusual activity in Belarus, although we don’t see any clear indications of a “Russian Armed Forces attack on Ukraine” — at least not yet.

Belarusian military convoys have been spotted all over the country, carrying equipment to different airfields.

We can confirm unusual activity at Ziabrovka airfield which is around 40KM from the Ukrainian borders.

We saw 12x S-400 Systems with around 40 missiles for them, with more likely to be delivered based on logistics reports from Belarus. That is an unreal amount of S400s — definitely not something normal to field in one place.

Multiple KASTA 2E2 & 48Y6 Podlyot radars have also been deployed.

2x Pantsir S1 systems have also been put in service at the airfield.

Awesome video (June 25, 2022) about the massive 50 + missile barrage attack on Kiev
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKCoN2hlS6w&t=7s

(switch on subtitles/captions) bomber chatting communication are not encrypted since the Cold war

On the 25th of June Russia had a missile wave (50 missiles) Here is the youtube video with English subtitles showing you the whole thing. Very coordinated and very interesting.
Remember, after the victory in the Severdonesk area Russia considered Phase 1 completed and went into an “operational pause” to rest, train and refit for Phase 2. Putin said that they hadn’t even gotten serious yet (a veiled threat that the next phase would be more intense.)

I suspect that our new-age plan was to build some ‘shock and awe’ conventional weapons and leave it at that. However, doing so results in very high cost, which then limits quantities (particularly at union wages).

The Russians, of course, study our plans (since they often get published), and after laughing, figured out that having something like 50 regular 152s for every 1 titanium-plated 155, would give them the edge in a protected war (something our woke military deemed non-credible).

So they gave us a war we couldn’t win - a war of attrition.
