This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

“Russians Systematically Loot Art, Ancient Relics From Ukraine’s Cultural Sites”
The good ole USA is the biggest winner from the death fest.
RuZZia is half demilitarized. Half to go.
WSJ says morality police disbanded not just suspended...
“Iran’s attorney general said the country had disbanded its so-called morality police and is considering altering the requirement that women cover their heads in public, a move that analysts said was aimed at peeling away support for antigovernment protests.”
See that is the tragedy. The destruction of these two nation states with distinctive cultures ultimately weakens the United States. As the globalists get stronger, they will direct their energies against the prime target, the United States. Electing Democrats is the first step but much harsher, transformative measures are to come. One day Speedy when you find your liberties, freedom, wealth and way of life gone, you will realize you missed the big picture.

••Belarus:
Russian Minister of Defense suddenly and urgently visited Belarus to sign or extend a basic agreement on military cooperation, and then Belarus’ president after that unexpected and unannounced visit, said that now both armies are working as one.
It was a very strange & unexpected Saturday, the agreement was actually signed on the airfield, literally one hour after he landed, he didn’t even go to Minsk, the capital, the whole thing looks very unusual. I don’t have more information, but the whole is a very strange situation.
In addition, there was another comment from Belarus’ president that ‘the war will continue, as the West is not ready for negotiations, and Belarus is preparing for potential NATO attack’, which is bogus, but at the same time where there is a smoke, there is probably fire.
••Ukraine:
Ukrainian in a military as always is talking about potential attacks from Belarus, and its very unlikely. There are simply not enough resources in the Belarus army - it’s too small, I mentioned before, that real size of Belarus Army is somewhere around 15,000 battle-ready soldiers. There its a big question of the willingness to actually do anything, there is clearly very low desire in in Belarus’s society to get into this war; there’s not enough Russian troops to launch a new offensive from the north on Ukraine and potentially Kiev; this goal I can talks about potential second invasion from Belarus are some distraction from the real problems on the battlefield.
I reported this a month ands a half ago and now Bloomberg has reported Russia has assembled a fleet of 103 oil tankers screwed oil tankers to await the price cap the West has put on it; they purchased 10-15 year old tankers on the world market, and will try to create a black market , and there are definitely buyers for crude, because there is just simply not enough of it in this world,
••Russia and Iran.
I don’t know to what extent this is true, but there are reports that Iranian leadership ask Russia for help with destroying Iranian opposition or the putting down the civil war that started in Iran, because they don’t have enough resources, they don’t have enough knowledge: the real know-how the Russian side has on how to do it, is really being completely merciless and brutality shocking, and that’s the know-how the Russians can introduce to Iran; apparently, the local authorities are not cruel enough, so Russian advisors will come and help them to be brutal enough.
••Ukraine and US and West:
On December 7 U.S Senators which is upper chamber of the US Congress will be we’ll be given a secret or classified briefing on help to Ukraine there is US$37 billion on the table that needs to be approved by the US Congress, and apparently there is not enough support, or there’s a lot of passion starting to pop up in the US Congress: why are we helping so much, the executive branch of US government , will have to resort to providing more secret information on the reasoning for it, in order to convince the Congress to continue support of the Ukraine, which I think is going to be there.
I don’t think its going to change, but this is another small sign of the tiredness of this war, and Congress has started to question why we are there - beyond just general, ‘we we’re trying to help Ukraine’, - but as as everybody knows, its about maintaining the existing world order, status quo, and because Ukraine is just a small subset of the big war or fight between West and Russia, Iran, and China who want to uproot the existing status quo.
Another potential battlefield is Taiwan: that’s the real reason for helping Ukraine is really maintaining status quo, and its not really about helping Ukraine, but its actually helping itself to survive, that’s a driver behind all of the support, and in this case, the interests of Ukrainian population, citizens, & society are aligned with the interest of the West.
••Asia to China and Taiwan:
The head of Japanese Liberal Democratic Party is going to visit Taiwan from December 10th till 13th, there’s a lot this huge traffic happening to Taiwan. I mentioned yesterday UK Representatives & from the US Congress have gone there & now Representative from a Japanese Party. There’s something is happening there, behind the scenes, some preparation or negotiation or some plan is being discussed.
There was the statement by 42 US Senators or Representatives, don’t remember which, that told China it should not use strong force against the covid lockdown protesters, which I’m pretty sure extremely irritated the Chinese leadership, because they view it as an intrusion into their sovereignty.
Its very clear that those protesters have right to protest, there is no question, as I mentioned before the lockdowns are not about solving a health problem, they are about controlling the population, and as I said before, the economic situation is becoming so bad that flare-ups, riots will happen more and more in China.
••Ukraine Power Grid:
It is still there, still hanging on, the situation is bad - like a heavily wounded person who is in coma, a stable coma: that’s the best way to describe Ukrainian power grid situation for ordinary people who are switching to power generators, which are very expensive, burning a lot of fuel pretty quickly; opportunities to earn money in Ukraine are extremely limited. I explained the economy is non-existent: the best you can get is to work for the government.
Those government workers are surviving through all of this, or you have some new business that’s not gonna get effected by the bad economy; for example, producing food, also very basic things - anything that’s more abstract, more more complex, is quickly dying, and eventually there will be a problem in Ukraine in a couple months about how to support these people, because they will eventually run out of their savings.
The only sensible way is to give them some money, or I don’t know or have street kitchens to feed people; its already happening in Kharkiv - there are street kitchens you can go and get some food for people who feel they they have the need - the war is really turning into a true ugly face, where people are becoming totally destitute, and many of them, especially those who live in large cities, will have to rely on external support.
••Switzerland
News coming out of Switzerland says they are banning electric vehicles, because are they putting too much stress on the power generation & power grid.
Tomorrow, I will be ready to discuss this whole energy system, what works and what doesn’t, then I’ll explain in more detail why electric vehicles just don’t work - I’m not even talking about the pollution being created to manufacture them, which is actually much more horrific, much more than words can actually say - more than from diesel fuel and gasoline, but EVs don’t even work from just technical perspective, from a perspective of power rate that exists - we’ll probably talk about that tomorrow.
••North Luhansk’:
Only one Russian attack in the south, no Ukrainian attacks. I said there’s a theory or idea that the Ukrainian side is slowly losing initiative here, is in in my opinion, becoming more and more true and realistic, because as I said, there is high chance that Russia will launch an offensive, sometime in January, maybe even as early as second half of December.
••North Donbas:
The situation for Ukrainian side is the most critical here. Things are not going well as a whole - it was fairly quiet day today. with the exception of Solidar where there was Russian attack. There are also an unconfirmed report that Russian Wagner mercenaries have managed to capture a village north east of Bakhmut or almost north northeast, if that’s true, the situation is becoming worse by the day, because in the south of there was quite a huge progress by Russian troops, and now the northern flank is becoming a very difficult situation.
The question of leaving Bakhmut is becoming more and more realistic, more and more on the table for Ukrainian side; the salient is becoming bigger, and the whole point is the salient is moving a little bit closer to the west.
Russian side will have soon fire control of two essential roads - once they advance that far then its really gonna be pretty much writing on the wall - Ukrainian troops will lose Bakhmut at that point. Otherwise it was relatively quiet day, not much happened, but that’s just normal - I would think that Wagner mercenaries are regrouping to continue their attacks.
••Central Donbas:
Things here are more or less the same as always and much more stable for Ukrainian side - north of Adivka and Marinka, Russian troops are attacking without my success, things are much better shape here, and I want to mention that this Piskey area is is second area where there is quite a bit of concern, but its not as bad as how things are developing around Bakhmut.
Russia is moving on a broad front in Donetsk and the Ukrainians are paying a terrible price. Not my opinion. It is the judgment of a neo-Nazi Ukrainian commander:
The commander of the neo-Nazi Svoboda battalion, Petro Kuzik, whose unit is trying to hold Bakhmut, told Western media that the fields and forests around are littered with the corpses of Ukrainian soldiers, and they have to defend themselves in extreme cold and knee-deep in water.
“They [the Russians] sensed a weakness in our defenses because there are units that are less motivated than ours. And yesterday they slightly weakened our defenses in the area immediately around Bakhmut. Some units could not withstand this artillery onslaught and retreated.”
Asked how serious the loss of life is, he said: “They are colossal. We don’t even count the bodies.”

“WSJ says morality...”
The West, to include the US, even referencing morality or values, etc. is utterly comical.
“The West doesn’t value anything it claims to value. We crush individuality, censor speech, brainwash with propaganda, imprison and torture dissident journalists, tyrannize, terrorize, bomb, invade, rob, oppress and exploit. “Western values” are nothing but a propaganda construct. A giant jerk-off fantasy.”

“The destruction of these two nation states with distinctive cultures ultimately weakens the United States.”
If you can’t see the destruction of RuZZia is good for the USA, you are missing the obvious.
China is the other main enemy.
If Taiwan can have enough anti-ship missiles and AD, the USA won’t need to intervene in a war there.
Taiwan is in the process of deploying “25 Anti-Ship Squadrons”. Chinese vessels won’t make it to Taiwan’s shore.
Be BULLISH on America.
https://www.thedefensepost.com/2022/04/22/taiwan-anti-ship-missile-deployment-plan/
Exactly. It’s best not to give Spanked, NosePicking or any other of those attention-obsessed Putinists what they crave. They should all be ignored.
Russian armour appears to have more reverse gears than Italians or French
Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia.

“Japan Looks to Build Buffer of Natural Gas in Case of Supply Crunch”
“Russia’s reduction of supplies to Europe prompts Tokyo to rethink policy”
“Japan’s government is planning to create a strategic buffer of liquefied natural gas, trying to build resilience against the kind of energy crunch that hit Europe this year.
The government is targeting imports of at least 840,000 tons of LNG a year under the program, according to a summary supplied by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
The effort reflects concern in Tokyo about possible future cutoffs in LNG shipments. In Europe, prices of natural gas have in some cases soared to their highest levels ever after Russia halted most of its pipeline gas supply in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine.
Japan is the world’s biggest importer of LNG, which is natural gas supercooled into liquid form and carried by ship. This year it has done better than others in avoiding shortages or out-of-control prices because it relies mostly on long-term contracts that guarantee supply and are indexed to oil prices, which haven’t risen as rapidly as LNG spot prices.”
We assess that the Belarusian Armed Forces have been preparing to go to war
—
All 15,000 of them. UA has around 80,000 troops stationed along the border, behind deep mine fields, with all roads and bridges either destroyed or blocked, leaving only air or swamp access into Ukraine.
Looks like cranked is a little behind on quota St. Petersburg supervisors must have had a talk about production with him
As long as they can keep the sailors from raping the locals - was the reason that US was kicked out.
Conscript convicts doing their duty: try to kill Ukrainians, then die.
Not sure about this but Iranian drones were built to operate in mild climates - very cold weather does halt use of many other drones and could be the Iranian ones are also not usable below a certain temperature.
Another day and another repeat of the same stupid post where an idiot comments to himself. Neocons are morons.
