Within days of confirmation by the UK Defense Secretary that the country had sent long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine, its first use had already been recorded and widely shared on social media.

A missile attack on the Luhansk region in the eastern Ukrainian region on May 12 was carried out by Anglo-French-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles, the representative office of the Lugansk People’s Republic in the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of Issues Related to War Crimes of Ukraine reported on its Telegram channel.

“According to updated information, on May 12, 2023, during a rocket attack on the city of Luhansk, the armed formations of Ukraine used two Storm Shadow cruise missiles (English-French production) and one anti-aircraft missile ADM-160B MALD (US production),” the publication was quoted by RIA Novosti.

Initially, Russian officials in the Luhansk region stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine used the Ukrainian “Thunder-2” or the “Grom-2” tactical missiles. However, despite official confirmations, social media was abuzz with rumors that the Storm Shadow had been put to use.

Military experts said that the Storm Shadow had already been used or would be used shortly in east Ukraine, which recently suffered missile strikes launched by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

What’s really remarkable, though, is that so much got started in South Africa.

Hi.

“The war is turning out to be a very useful platform for testing new weapons and tactics just like the Spanish Civil War.”

Yep, this war is testing new propaganda, psyops strategy and tactics too.

If you dig through history, that's the way it always works. Something that on the surface appears to be isolated, or perhaps even immediately innocuous, sets into motion processes that inevitably leads to large changes of circumstances. Much like what we are living in at this very moment. When you are inside the processes it can be challenging to keep up with them. Unfortunately most people only take note of events that are the end culmination of the processes, oblivious as to how it happened.

Yup. In the company of Neville Chamberlain, David Dinkins, Jimmy Carter, Pete Best, and many a county clerk and also-ran.

As remarkable as so many of our Civil War Generals serving together in the Mexican War as junior officers..

Russian weapons in Ukraine are testing out awful/ All buyers will be scared away by their performance.

Both wars are linked. All that extra territory ignited the issue of containing slavery or allowing it to expand according to the wishes of the new territories, as they moved up the ladder to statehood, and the disruptions of the internal slave trade that went along with it.

Yes, "History Does Not Exist in a Vacuum", as they say.

Think back to the Spanish Civil War and what a testing ground it was for other nations.

Then consider the new weapons and tactics being put to test by other nations in Ukraine.
