We got two Ukraine-related docs
Politico ^ | October 14, 2022 | ALEXANDER WARD and PAUL MCLEARY

Posted on 10/15/2022 4:31:18 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

POLITICO’s National Security Daily has procured two telling documents on the Ukraine war: a list of Ukraine’s latest weapons requests circulating in Washington, D.C., and a slide deck used at today’s extraordinary meeting of 30 nations to curb Russia’s military rearmament.

First off, the “priority items” list, obtained Thursday night. Eight months into the war, Ukraine is asking for:

— 300 Main battle tanks
— 1,000 BMP armored personnel carriers
— 30 Multiple Launch Rocket System
— 250 155mm artillery systems
— 500 anti-tank guided missiles
— 1,000 man-portable air-defense systems
— 72 short-range air defense systems
— 20 AN/TPQ-36, AN/TPQ-37 Firefinder radar
— 40 AN/TPQ-48, AN/TPQ-49 light counterfire radar

Ukrainian officials apparently circulated this list among their American counterparts very recently. That said, there are tons of lists flying around town, though we’re reliably told this one is the most current. Neither the National Security Council, State Department nor Pentagon chose to comment.

(snip)

Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury, Commerce and intelligence officials are discussing with allies how to deprive Russia’s military of crucial weapons and components. NatSec Daily couldn’t link to or publish the slides from the meeting, but can supply details about what they said.

The slide deck, titled “Sanctions and Export Control Eroding Moscow’s War Effort,” notes that Russia has lost “over 6,000 pieces of equipment” since the start of the war. Furthermore, Russia’s forces are “expending munitions at an unsustainable rate,” the deck says, though it doesn’t detail how the U.S. knows that.

You need to listen, because that guy actually knows some real life navy seals! No kidding! And he can tell you all about how they are. And he’s also seen that Charlie Sheen movie too.

He is wise in the ways of commandos and special forces.

I hope you learned something here.

The endless war crowd. We have to borrow the money to send to Ukraine and our own war stocks are being depleted. It will take years to replenish our reserves. And to what end? A proxy war to remove Putin and weaken Russia.

It will be a long, cold winter in Europe thanks to the sanctions, which have backfired.

IF you were ever a Seal, or even in a uniform, before writing fiction, you are an utter embarrassment and disgrace to any Seal or any patriotic naval or uniformed servicemember.

Your only saving grace would be if the revisionist “Travis Fibber McGee” alias has been utilized by a Putin psyop team -

I’ve learned that Jim Robinson tolerates direct death threats against individual Freepers.

Up until recently, that would have been an instant ban, not just “post deleted by moderator.”

They sure seem eager to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon.

It sure would be nice if these jackasses cared as much about the US and our southern border.

Hey Kazan/Preston/cranked/Rhino, you still haven’t been the good Putinist psyop Freeper, and shared any detail on when I can expect the Russian “Cleaner”, Mercader, or “boyz town” svr team you promised, or provided even a rough timeline, other than my death was imminent -

You gotta pick it up a notch over their in Kazan folks.

It is actually pretty funny, the literal known FreeRepublic Russian psyop suite, tagging Jim Robinson, when they have in one thread repeatedly violated FreeRepublic rules...

And multiple Russian personalities I have already shown are one and the same, blatantly conversing with itself.

Hilarious!!!

Wish I would’ve seen that post. Keyboard commandos are something else. And there’s nothing funnier than a non-Seal, non-special forces, non-marine, who can tell you exactly what those guys are like. Because you know, they’ve met people like that and heard their stories, and they know just how they think. Sad times we’re living in senor.
Last I heard Jim Rob had been ill, maybe he wasn’t around to see it.

Yeah, no kidding! And just look at all the foul language, stalking, personal attacks, and smearing that they engage in from thread to thread. It’s pure hysterical projection on their part.

The Bidet Regime’s international bumbling somehow results in big contracts for the MIC. I certainly don’t support Putin, and the U.S. should support Ukraine because we promised to support Ukraine at Budapest for disposing of its nukes. How much support that should be isn’t necessarily an open line of credit.

Yeah, you’re probably really important. I bet Putin had a meeting about you today in the Kremlin wondering how we could get this guy? Pretty good delusions of grandeur you got there. Lol

You’re still hurting from that time the zombie was out looking for brains and walked right by you. Lol

You funny person!

Ypu need to ask your nearest 🇷🇺 ольгинские тролли psyop boss if you can go outside into the cool Russian air, and do some deep breathing exercises for a few minutes, so you can come back and perform your Russian psyop duty on FreeRepublic with a little more intelligence — 🕶 🤣

He was probably five years old when you were in the Navy, if he was even born. He probably even supports George W. Bush and thinks that’s what a conservative is.

Hope you have a wonderful day sir. Go to your drawer and pull out your trident and hold it in your hand and smile. He never got one. Nor any other high-speed badge from any other branch.

The lack of critical thinking I’m encountering these days on FR is astounding.

Everything I needed to know about current geo-political events I learned on......wait for it........

Politico?

GTFO.
