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.

Love all patriotic and God loving/God honoring Americans, but the leftist psyop infill from Russia is 100% real, and really could be used to trigger their leftist US Exec pals to shut down and confiscate FR servers, and any other site with the same issues.

Then the fraudulent US puppet, and Putin and Xi will have successfully wiped out any conservative opposition from the US.

Probably the exact same game from Citizen Freepress and across the US.

A good Christian friend of mine, who is a very principled and very historically literate, (still at a 3 letter alphabet), believes the current fraud admin may well soon use what is in reality a Russian psyop, to go “lights out” on all “conservative” Russian infiltrated sites nation wide.

I sincerely hope he is wrong.

At this point, I don’t believe FR has the tools or funds, and therefore a way, to screen the truly anti-American, and anti-God infiltration.

Wish they could.

We want and need true conservative (truth first) folks on FR, but it would also be nice if FR had a way to validate Veteran and current servicemembers.

I have been obnoxious, but only to obvious anti-American and foreign Russian trolls, who are already trolling actual conservatives across FR, non-stop.

FR isn’t supposed to allow all the vulgarity. It has been total proliferation from those with no true moral boundaries.

Pretty telling.

I will not any longer allow my family to read FR.

Okay then. Buh bye to your family and turn the lights out before heading to the dump where you belong. They do fact checks over there and check for confirmation of military service. Oh wait, none of them served in the military except for the newer trannies needing sex changes.

Good heavens are you full of BS. LOL

There is no doubt about McGee’s veteran and SEAL status.

Just an observation.

If you were as interested in veterans as you pretend to be you would already know how it works for SEALs and especially since Travis McGee is an author and a public figure.

With you on that. He is the worst sort of vicious greed-headed leftist Trump-hater, without even the least understanding of why he hates and runs.

Does “truth first” mean all of those Daily Mail, Sun, Newsweek and other sources that are posted en masse on here on a daily basis? Just curious. 🤔

I will not any longer allow my family to read FR.

Cool.

Col Douglas Macgregor - the build up for a Russian offensive in November

Col. Douglas Macgregor: "Keep in mind, these reservists are going into groups of Russian forces that are collecting in the south and on the borders in western part of Russia and Belorussia. These forces are going to be quite large by the time they amass. They won't be used in mass in a concentrated fashion until November. What you're seeing happen right now after all of these massive counterattacks launched by the Ukrainians that achieved, frankly, nothing from a strategic standpoint at all. They have taker such horrendous losses that now local Russian forces are taking back the terrain that was lost. This happening down in Lyman. It's happening in the direction of Bakhmat. It's happening in Kherson. The very few kilometers they managed to scrape out are being lost. I think what we're watching are modest attacks by the Russians to straighten lines and set the conditions for the really large offensive that will break in November."
