All that matters is the churn of Defense spending
The multitude of nations’ patriots have awkwardly become the useful pawns on the NGOs’ global battlefield of control.
In tank battles whoever shoots first wins.
“The Bangkok-based conspiracy blogger, known for his pro-China and pro-Russia views, “Tony Cartalucci”, (aka Brian Joseph Thomas Berletic), is at it again.”
Just thought you lurkers should know where this is coming from. Guy has no credentials at all as a military analyst. He was an optical equipment repair tech when he was in. (If he was in.)
It is my understanding that our export model Abrams are less capable than what we manufacture for our own use.1
More Russian propaganda
More Russian desperation
Only 1 week to go until Vlady’s pre-rigged election ... why isn’t he talking about the War, if it’s going so great for Russia?
lol
Only ____ weeks left until Zelensky’s pre-rigged election....er, oh, wait.....
Unless you can achieve a knockout blitzkrieg they are all wars of attrition. Even after your shock and awe subduing a hostile population is a war of attrition and you can lose that even after you won.
One tank on one tank. Fifty tanks on fifty tanks is different. Strategy terrain training doctrine flexibility command and control discipline skill initiative and luck all count. Oh communications communications communications!
Not disrespect to the Arbram’s, but the methods utilized by Ukraine and version of the tank has a lot to do with it. There is no combined arms operatoins left in the Ukrainian military. Those tanks are stripped of the stuff that might fall into Russian hands such as superior armor, electronics, shell loaders, and the US-only powerplant.
It’s gonna happen. We knocked out Tiger 1 and Tiger 2s in WW2.
If the “lurkers” listen to the video, Berletic gives a very good picture of the reality on the ground using a Ukraine friendly map. He even reads your type of sources like Business Insider who obviously by their very name tells us they are experts in all that is military, Chad. /sarc
People here aren’t pro Russia, they are pro telling the truth. People see the truth now as time has passed, and it has told people what big liars and fabricators the Zeeper flying monkeys are.
After the SOTU shitshow on Thursday, it has become apparent to many the kind of slime that support anything Biden is not in it for the best interests of the American people. That includes Ukraine.
Conspiracy blogger? Look in the mirror.
Not a tank round.
The Abrams tank was actually hit by 2 Russian Kornet anti-tank missiles plus a few FPB drones - 36:43/1:12:26 at

- 1st Kornet strike
- FPV drones strike
- 2nd Kornet strike
who ever shoots first doesn’t always win the battle. HMS hood took a first shot at Bismarck. Bismarck took one shot at HMS Hood.
end of conflict.
But then you aren't really disputing that he is wrong about anything, are you?
There isn't really a way to spin the current situation as "Ukraine is winning". The top Ukraine story of the last few days is the Pope tellibg Zelensky to consider surrender.
From the New York Times:
Pope Says Ukraine Should Have the ‘Courage of the White Flag’
His words have raised questions about whether Francis was suggesting that Ukraine surrender, but a Vatican spokesman said the pope meant “cease-fire and negotiation.”
By Jason Horowitz Reporting from RomeA recent CNN article sums up a lot of recent reporting:March 9, 2024
Pope Francis has reiterated in a new interview that Ukraine should negotiate to end the war with Russia, but this time he used language — adopting his interviewer’s expression, “white flag” — that has drawn attention and raised questions about whether the pope was suggesting that Ukraine surrender.
On Saturday night, the Vatican spokesman, Matteo Bruni, immediately clarified that the pope meant “cease-fire and negotiation,” not surrender, when he said white flag, a universal symbol for giving up.
But the pope’s words and others he used during the interview have underscored how the Vatican has often bewildered Ukraine’s officials and supporters struggling to understand its position.
Ukraine’s defeat at Avdiivka darkens the mood in the West
It is a pivotal moment, where both Russian advances and Western atrophy threaten to transform the biggest land war in Europe since the 1940s.
Traveling from the Munich Security Conference towards Ukraine’s frontlines, the polite frustration and manicured pleas of Western leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky feel yet more desperate. The warnings that Ukraine might suffer setbacks on the frontline if the United States Congress continued to hold up a $60 billion zaid package have now curdled into a bitter, brutal reality.
The pledges and rhetoric of Munich’s suits and limousines have so far amounted to little; in the wait, or abyss, ahead, Ukraine is losing people and land. It is all very real, very immediate and stark. After months of stalemate, the possibility of sweeping changes on the frontlines is quite real.
Idiotic click-bait title.
I watched the entire worthless video waiting to hear when and how a Russian T72 “knocked out” an M1 Abrams tank. It never happened. At least he never said it happened.
He was reading the last line of an assement about the latest and most modern T72 B3 and he said “knockout the M1 Abrams”. He didsn’t say “did knockout’. He didn’t say “could knockout”. I have NO CLUE what he is talking about.
The entire idiotic video sums up like this:
Russia’s most common battle tank in Ukraine is the latest and most modern version of the T72, designated the B3. It is not as shitty as the old version of the T72. Even as the article he cited clearly stated they “still favored the M1”.
What a waste of time. Bad post.
Sometimes I believe these little wars are supported by the US just so they can test equipment under real battlefield conditions against the Russian equipment.
From a couple of videos I saw earlier, including one that was posted here yesterday, the Russians are PISSED that they spent all these months training for the big battles against top-line western hardware...just to make minced meat out of it.
But it does makes sense, since with DEI and Globohomo and women now in full force, we simply DO NOT have our best and brightest running the military or making decisions affecting the military. Russia still does...
Now, Mr. dforest, you should know better than to argue with this creep.
A wise man once said....
"Never argue with fools. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
