pinging the this’n’that list, freepmail to get on/off etc.

The head of the British Ministry of Defense told Spiegel that Kyiv will receive modern fighters, such as the Eurofighter, only after the end of the Russian military operation

“Our task is not Bakhmut himself, but the destruction of the Ukrainian army and the reduction of its combat potential” (E.Prigozhin).

For understanding what is happening in the world today, as the Sino-Russian partnership displaces American power globally, this chart is fundamental. [Chart at link]

The ultimate means of a nation to wage war and exert economic influence successfully is its industrial capacity. In this vein then it’s notable that:
China alone matches the Western Bloc of the United States and Europe in productive output.
When joined by Russia, this becomes a decisive industrial output advantage paired with the necessary resources to power this vast manufacturing base.
Russia alone is 2x the size of France in terms output, and is also larger than Germany. Metrics like nominal GDP are entirely data mirages in this vein.
Simply put, Europe lacks the means to contain Russia and the U.S. can’t be everywhere at once, especially given it and Europe are objectively in relative decline at a minimum. The entire world order is changing before us.

[Clownface] German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock opposed any territorial concessions from Ukraine.

“All the demands to give back the occupied regions, to surrender Ukraine, would mean the encouragement of this war. We will not do this,” she said at the Munich Security Conference.

The British Minister of Defense admitted that many European countries that promised tanks to Kiev discovered during checks that faulty equipment was stored in warehouses:

” Many countries are finding their armies don’t have serviceable tanks they can supply “

The depletion of weapons stocks in Europe is not a problem, since they were intended to fight the Russian Federation.

“We are just a defense alliance. Its all unprovoked” 🤣

In Germany, the militants of the
Armed Forces of Ukraine, who arrived to master armored vehicles, are greeted by a memo:

« Dear interns from Ukraine! In Germany, for displaying a swastika or other symbols associated with fascism (for example, signs of the SS), you can get a sentence of up to 3 years in prison or a large fine .

That is, in Germany they are aware that neo-Nazism is flourishing in Ukraine, but they try not to notice it.

Democrats and neo-cons making Russia an enemy when they needn't be, and driving them into alliance with China will be our doom. They have destroyed our manufacturing, and the "arsenal of democracy", for short term profit and left us vulnerable.

Not to mention, the Krauts are over-run with Jew-killing Nazi rag-heads.
