“Russian Soldiers’ Eyes Bleed As “Mouse Fever” Wreaks Havoc”
~~~~~~~
Now that it seems that bio-weapons...
(no doubt “somehow” escaped from one or more of the 46 US funded Ukrainian Bio-Labs that our secretary of Defense told us ALL on CSPAN would have grave consequences if we didn’t get the needed help to prevent Russia from finding them...)
Now that it seems that bio-weapons are in play...
Is anyone else tired of our nation being made increasingly complicit in war crimes by this administration?
We’ve laundered over 100 Billion $$ in Taxpayer sweat and tears, sent deadly intel, cluster munitions, drones...
and now the biological agents appear to finally be in play.
Could the war mongers possibly push any harder to get the nukes to start popping off?
I’m sure the “Good Nazi” Azov Brigade knows where to find enough bio labs and drones and US provided cluster munitions to keep things hot...
but aren’t enough people in the US finally figuring out that we are being sucked into aiding and abetting war crimes, not just being fleeced?

Russian soldiers are facing a ‘mouse fever’ outbreak on the frontlines, Ukrainian intel says

-Russian troops are dealing with outbreaks of “mouse fever,” Ukrainian intel alleges.
-The disease is being carried by rodents in the trenches, Ukraine said.
-Symptoms include sudden intense headaches, fever, chills, and nausea, according to the CDC.
Front-line combat and death by a drone strike or artillery fire aren’t the only dangers Russian soldiers are facing, according to Ukrainian intelligence.
Ukraine alleges that the Kremlin’s infantry along the frontlines are now facing outbreaks of “mouse fever,” an illness spread by rodents.
In a post by Ukraine’s Intelligence Directorate this week, officials say hemorrhagic fever renal syndrome is spreading “en masse” through the ranks.
But Russian commanders dismissed soldiers’ concerns, Ukraine intel said.
“Complaints about fever from the personnel of the Russian army who are involved in the war against Ukraine were ignored by the command who considered them as another form of evading participation in the hostilities,” Ukrainian intelligence wrote.
What Ukraine is calling “mouse fever” is a group of illnesses spread when people are exposed to urine, saliva, or droppings from rodents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).*
Symptoms include the sudden onset of “intense headaches, back and abdominal pain, fever, chills, nausea, and blurred vision,” according to the CDC.
If left untreated, later symptoms can include going into shock and acute kidney failure, the CDC writes.
Ukrainian officials also said Russian troops are frustrated by the “inadequate provision of winter items and a complete lack of medical assistance.”
The war in Ukraine has dragged out into a bloody stalemate in recent months. Neither Ukraine nor Russia have made major breakthroughs through the fortified frontlines — and infantry have been facing the brunt of the terrible conditions.
Russia’s units of former convict soldiers are most likely being sent back to the front without the right medical care, with some going into battle with unhealed wounds and amputations, according to Western intelligence.
Drug use among the Russian ranks has also skyrocketed, according to independent Russian news outlet Verstka. That’s sparked a revival of drug smuggling in the criminal underworld of Russia, according to a December 2023 assessment.

If I remember correctly those biolabs the US had in Ukraine were testing diseases to make them specifically to target people of Russian ancestry. Such evil.
This is highly significant.
Three Su-34 losses. Four men dead. And for what? To give Vladimir Lenin...er, Stalin...umm, I mean Putin...a legacy.
“Putin the Failure” is how history will remember him.
“If I remember correctly those biolabs the US had in Ukraine were testing diseases to make them specifically to target people of Russian ancestry.”
Proof? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Hope you have some.
Russia has been unable to concentrate for attacks, operationally. They are too vulnerable to Ukrainian firepower to do that. That is critical. But even tactically they have problems.
Its a plausible strategy to push across the front, in order to eventually find a “weak spot”. This is a very long front given the forces deployed, and this applies to both sides. Over most of the front the local defense is going to amount to no more than a line of outposts. But that is in the main beside the point. What can they do if they find a “weak spot”?
Both sides have the tools to quickly blast force concentrations with high tech weapons. Both sides can quickly move reserves to match the local enemy. Advances can only move forward with small units, in fear of crushing casualties. The tip of the spear of any force exploiting a “weak spot” is, perforce, very weak. It can only be pushed in very slowly, abrading away very fast. This will leave the “weak spot” no longer weak. And Russia will leave casualties behind.
There is therefore no option for a war of maneuver.
You are correct in that the only option for Russia is a war of attrition. The question is whether Russia can sustain that. So far it has been coming up short.
HONK HONK HONK!

Commie playbook, classic.
Why Ukraine Won’t Be Able to “Dig In”
- After the defeated 5 month Ukrainian offensive and with admissions in the Western media that Ukraine’s cross-river offensive in Kherson is a failure, a growing number Ukrainian and Western military and political leaders are talking about Ukraine going on the defensive;
- Ukraine seeks to build Russian-style defensives along the line of contact and use 2024 to build up combat power;
- The main problem facing this strategy is that Ukraine has already in many places dug in since as early as 2014 and yet Russia has been able to overpower and displace Ukrainian forces regardless;
- ussia’s successful defeat of the 2023 Ukrainian offensive was owed as much to its superior firepower as it was to the construction of defensive positions;
- While Russia will not be able to conduct “big arrow” offensives without suffering heavy losses for the same reason Ukraine cannot, the existence of mines covered by artillery, FPV drones and other systems that can target Russian forces as they attempt to breach minefields;
- Russia can continue its war of attrition while placing growing pressure all along the line of contact and exploiting anywhere opportunities begin to form;
- Western commentators continue to interpret the conflict in mere 2 dimensions rather than the 4 dimensions actually required to understand Russia’s long-term strategy and why it has worked;
- The 4th dimension being time, it is important to understand what Ukraine’s combat power will look like a year from now following concerted Russian efforts to target and irreversibly diminish specific capabilities (like air defense, artillery, counter battery fire, and military aviation);
“In a phone call with Mark Rutte, Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the Dutch Government for the decision to prepare the first F-16 jets for their delivery to Ukraine”
Finally, may the log jam be broken and the F-16’s begin arriving in sufficient numbers to make a bif difference
May it be so!

IMO, USE CAUTION:
The New Atlas is noted for inaccuracy & unreliability. This source may reference a legitimate news source. But, will ultimately spin any factoid into a commentary of systematic misinformation. This source uses unbalanced geopolitical deceptive ‘articles’ within an overview summary.
Summation: The New Atlas
The New Atlas generates deceptive misstatements to the point of becoming basically psych-op active disinformation.

‘I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the six-hundred-sixty-sixth day of the war.”
So what? I am an American. My country has been invaded by millions of foreigners unfriendly to our people.
Already presented at the UN by Russia.
(to EneMedia silence.)
Okay...and a link to this evidence then? Thank you.
Just do a search for “Russia tells UN about bio-labs,
and you can read the full force mockingbird enemedia “debunking”
of the whole idea, and then draw your own conclusions.
“Russia tells...” is not proof.
Neither are the Mockingbird Enemedia’s denials.
But our own Secretary of Defense told us all on CSPAN about this very danger.
“After Russia launched its unlawful invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health responsibly ordered the safe and secure disposal of samples,’ according to the fact sheet. ‘These actions limit the danger of an accidental release of pathogens”
Wouldn’t be any pathogens to release if it isn’t there like everyone is claiming.
