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
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.
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.
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
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...
This guy is a jack wagon. Plain and simple.
A couple of takeaways:
1) The M-1 was destroyed by the T-72 on the FIRST SHOT, from over a mile away.
2) Brian’s theory is that the Dems and Republicans are working together to NOT pass the $61B, as passing it won’t matter in the combat zone (we’re simply out of weapons available for Ukraine - that simple) - and that passing the bill, seeing it didn’t help Ukraine at all, would send China the message that the Western Woke, DEI, Globohomo, and EPA-Certified Military is a FACADE (I wonder why?).

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for March 10, 2024...
- US President Joe Biden claims Ukraine can “beat Putin” if given the weapons and ammunition to do so;
- The weapons and ammunition simply do not exist in the necessary quantities to do so and what is being sent to Ukraine is performing far short of expectations;
- US-made M1 Abrams destroyed by Russian T-72B3 dispelling the myth of American military superiority;
- Western arms manufacturers continue claiming interest in building facilities inside Ukraine but fail to explain how they would prevent such facilities from being destroyed by Russian missiles and drones;
- The West is failing to deliver sufficient amounts of artillery ammunition with a recent plan to secure rounds from outside the EU falling short of its 800,000 target;
- Increasing talk of more direct Western intervention in Ukraine suggests growing desperation among Western capitals;
