Update on Russian Military Operations in Ukraine for May 31, 2022 - Russian advances continue - roads out of Severodonetsk-Lysychansk cauldron under Russian artillery fire; - Ukraine launches anemic “counter offensives” as political distractions from strategic catastrophe unfolding for them in the Donbas; - Ukraine, Western media float notion of Ukrainian retreat in Donbas; - Western media beginning to cover full scale of Ukraine’s continued defeat; - Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) may still be sent, just not with long-range missiles; - US MLRS have steep logistical needs, large physical footprint that will make them cumbersome, easy to spot and destroy; - Other “wonder weapons” are being cleared off the battlefield in a similar manner, including most recently Italian FH70 howitzers; - Javelin and Stingers will take years to replace; - Nothing short of a direct NATO intervention will reverse course for Ukraine; References: Reuters - Georgia started war with Russia: EU-backed report: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-georgia-russia-report-idUSTRE58T4MO20090930 Washington Post - Russia has killed civilians in Ukraine.

กรุณาเปิดแคปชั่นใน YouTube (CC) แล้วกดเลือกภาษาไทย A new draft NGO law in Thailand in the process of being passed has led to US-funded fronts posing as "nongovernmental organizations" to protest both in Thailand and by writing letters to the US government demanding they stop the Thai government from passing the law - proving just how dangerous US-funded meddling is in Thailand and how necessary the law is in the first place.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has laid out US policy toward the People’s Republic of China - a manifesto upholding Washington’s vow to prevent China from surpassing the US. However, China is a nation with a population several times the size of the US (and the G7 combined) and is making the transition from developing to a developed nation - surpassing the US is inevitable. Only through subversion and conflict can the US even attempt to prevent this - and that is precisely what the US government including the State Department has been doing and is announcing it will continue doing.

To answer the question of why Russian forces are taking a long time to "win" in Ukraine, one must understand that Ukraine spent 8 years building extensive fortifications along the line of contact in the Donbas region. Once Russian forces overcome these defenses, momentum will be on their side - and already the Western media and Western governments are beginning to change their tune as this happens.

The US government and the Western media are opposed to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet traveling to Xinjiang, Chine to investigate claims made by the West of “genocide” against Xinjiang’s Uyghur population. For years the US has accused China of carrying out “genocide,” yet has produced no evidence at all - even after an 80+ hour “tribunal.” The US is spreading lies about China regarding Xinjiang just as the US spread lies about Iraq regarding “weapons of mass destruction” for the sole purpose of advancing US foreign policy objectives - not in pursuit of human rights, peace, and prosperity in China but deliberately at its cost.

Recent elections in the Philippines have paved the way for Chinese-Philippine relations to continue growing. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has expressed a desire to work with China more closely and resolve disputes bilaterally without US interference. Already, the US is backing attempts to question the outcome of the election which saw its candidate of choice, Leni Rebredo lose. The Philippines is one of America’s primary targets for militarization in both a proxy war with China as well as a direct US war with China.

Attempts to "debunk" Russian footage of Ukrainian M777 howitzers is revealed as sloppy and in desperate need of its own debunking. Footage mashed together and not attributed has been used to cast doubt on a drone and artillery attack on a Ukrainian M777 battery out in the field. The clip is actually two separate clips presented separately during a briefing given by the Russian Ministry of Defense and even covered in Newsweek here: https://www.newsweek.com/russians-reportedly-wipe-out-howitzers-sent-us-ukraine-latest-strikes-1707812 References: Denys Davydov - Update from Ukraine | M777 Artillery Ambushed an Destroyed in Ukraine: https://youtu.be/WnCOM6DfCA4 Denys Davydov - Update from Ukraine | M777 destroyed FAKE Video Confirmed: https://youtu.be/6wr9jCpacVM Russia Gazette - МО РФ: Артиллерия уничтожила батарею гаубиц М777 производства США: https://rg.ru/2022/05/18/mo-rf-artilleriia-unichtozhila-batareiu-gaubic-m777-proizvodstva-ssha-i-pontonnuiu-perepravu.html Where to Find My Work: Visit The New Atlas Website: https://newatlas.report/ (backup site): https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Odysee (YouTube alternative): https://odysee.com/@LandDestroyer:8 Rumble (YouTube alternative): https://rumble.com/c/c-1459863 Weibo: https://weibo.com/u/7726044004 ไบรอัน แฟนคลับ (Facebook): https://facebook.com/BrianThaiFanclub/ Line Group: https://lin.ee/JIxTpKe Telegram Group: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Gab: https://gab.com/BrianBerletic VK (Facebook alternative): https://vk.com/brianberletic Follow Angelo Giuliano here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8oKpKMe2jGynKCu-l_vOGg Twitter: https://twitter.com/Angelo4justice3?s=09 (@Angelo4justice3) How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheNewAtlas Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/landdestroyer PromptPay: 0851547235 PayPal: Brian.Berletic@gmail.com Cryptocurrency Donations: Ethereum (ETH): 0xee6ed93c3adc474450011e9af22939a0b9b312c7 BitCoin (BTC): 1AfGnbmHxA6cy9YKUSxysXvpJPyecpBKrr Monero (XMR): 845TCXx3pchSBXuDL7FHG679gbWD2wkHS6MJxuq7jFVsVFj7T6xsry747uhhGZUdkaRXbbrMfo5c8RnGfzGZ13KxQUdHVLR

Update for Russian military operations in Ukraine for May 21, 2022: 1. Ukrainian militants in the Azovstal steel works have unconditionally surrendered numbering between hundreds (current Red Cross count) to thousands according to Russian sources; 2. Mariupol has been secured by Russia since mid to late-April - Ukraine finally admits however that its “combat operations” have fully ended; 3. Russia continues to make progress in the Donbas region - Ukrainian forces are being encircled in Severodonestsk and Lysychansk - the salient around Papasnya is expanding both west and north as part of this major encirclement; 4. Pentagon admits Russia still poses the majority of its combat power - possess a “numerical advantage” over Ukraine - and is making “slow, uneven” progress, but progress nonetheless; 5. Kharkov “offensive” has either stalled or is in the process of being rolled back; 6. US M777 howitzers have been found, tracked, targeted, and destroyed by Russian forces; 7. Additional attempts to send heavy weapons will face similar technical, tactical, strategic, and manpower challenges; References US Department of Defense - Pentagon Press Secretary John F.

The US military is putting together what it calls “multi-domain operations” which include traditional air, land, and sea domains, but also space and cyberspace. They are also creating “Multi-Domain Task Forces” to overcome Chinese and Russian defenses to allow the US to act with “freedom” globally. However, the US has already been perfecting “multi-domain operations” in shaping, coercing, and subordinating the world for years. Through the use of organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy it has waged constant war against peer and near-peer competitors like Russia and China indirectly, as well as indirect war against their allies. Such full-spectrum warfare requires full-spectrum national defense policies.

Update for Russian military operations in Ukraine for May 17, 2022: 1. Russia continues to make slow and steady progress in Donbas, the primary area of Russia’s focus; 2. Additional Russian salients and encirclements take shape within the much largers Izyum, Lyman, Severodonetsk, Papasnya cauldron area; 3. Ukrainian “offensive” northeast of Kharkov appears to have been a costly photo-op and little more; 4. Ukrainian militants hiding in the Azovstal industrial complex begin to surrender dealing a mostly political blow to Ukraine; 5. Ukrainian militants had long since been out of the fight (since mid to late-April); 6. Pentagon claims most M777 howitzers are already on the front in Kharkov and Donbas; 7. US M777s have yet to make any discernible difference on the battlefield; 8. Pentagon admits Russia still has the majority of its combat power prepared against Ukraine available to it; References: US Department of Defense - Senior Defense Official Holds a Background Briefing May 16, 2022: https://www.defense.gov/News/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/3033374/senior-defense-official-holds-a-background-briefing/ Guardian - Hundreds of Ukrainian troops evacuated from Azovstal steelworks after 82-day assault: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/16/hundreds-of-ukrainian-troops-evacuated-from-azovstal-steelworks-after-82-day-assault BBC - Mariupol: Hundreds of besieged Ukrainian soldiers evacuated: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61472025 BBC - Ukraine underplays role of far right in conflict (2014): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30414955 Financial Times - ‘Don’t confuse patriotism and Nazism’: Ukraine’s Azov forces face scrutiny: https://www.ft.com/content/7191ec30-9677-423d-873c-e72b64725c2d Institute for the Study of War - RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, MAY 16: https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-may-16 Ukrainian General Staff (Facebook) - Operational Update for May 17, 2022: https://www.facebook.com/GeneralStaff.ua/posts/318762293770189 Where to Find My Work: Visit The New Atlas Website: https://newatlas.report/ (backup site): https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Odysee (YouTube alternative): https://odysee.com/@LandDestroyer:8 Rumble (YouTube alternative): https://rumble.com/c/c-1459863 Weibo: https://weibo.com/u/7726044004 ไบรอัน แฟนคลับ (Facebook): https://facebook.com/BrianThaiFanclub/ Line Group: https://lin.ee/JIxTpKe Telegram Group: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Gab: https://gab.com/BrianBerletic VK (Facebook alternative): https://vk.com/brianberletic How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheNewAtlas Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/landdestroyer PromptPay: 0851547235 PayPal: Brian.Berletic@gmail.com Cryptocurrency Donations: Ethereum (ETH): 0xee6ed93c3adc474450011e9af22939a0b9b312c7 BitCoin (BTC): 1AfGnbmHxA6cy9YKUSxysXvpJPyecpBKrr Monero (XMR): 845TCXx3pchSBXuDL7FHG679gbWD2wkHS6MJxuq7jFVsVFj7T6xsry747uhhGZUdkaRXbbrMfo5c8RnGfzGZ13KxQUdHVLR

A few quick points about Sweden and Finland joining NATO: 1. Nations aren’t given a choice to join - they either join or the US removes the government and installs one that will; 2. Neither Sweden nor Finland face any threat from any nations, let alone Russia; 3. The supposed “threat” is that Russia has invaded Ukraine “without provocation” and could invade anyone else next - the “WMD” lie told now to advance US foreign policy objectives; 4. Now that Sweden and Finland are joining NATO, they will be less secure - the next time NATO wages a war of aggression thousands of miles from its own borders, Swedish and Finnish troops will be sent to die there and both nations’ treasuries emptied in the process; 5. NATO expansion is a factor of US hegemony - an unwillingness to accept multipolarism and its attempt to continue imposing unipolar primacy.

The UK Guardian claims Ukraine has “won the battle of Kharkiv” driving back Russian attempts to encircle and take the city… only Russian forces were not trying to take Kharkov. The primary objective, according to even the Pentagon, is the Donbas region, all other objectives are secondary. Russian forces around Kharkov are engaged in a fixing operation. As long as Ukrainian troops are forced to remain around Kharkov instead of reinforcing Ukrainian troops in Donbas, Russia’s fixing operation is a success. The fact that the Western media has to embellish minor and superficial gains on the battlefield as a major “victory” illustrates just how little success Ukraine is actually having.

1. The UK Ministry of Defence admits it is scouring the globe for Russian and Soviet stockpiles of military equipment; 2. UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace admits that the most optimal equipment to send Ukraine is equipment they are already familiar with; 3. Western equipment takes week, months, and in some cases years to not just learn to operate, but integrate tactically and strategically into combined arms warfare; 4. The army the US and NATO spent 8 years building before this most recent conflict is being destroyed faster than the US and NATO can replace it - and it wasn’t an optimal force to begin with; 5. A similar process played out in Syria from 2015 onward, ultimately failing and necessitating the direct military intervention by NATO (the US and Turkey) in Syria to occupy parts of the country, spoil victory/reconstruction, and preserve the remnants of their proxy force; 6. Direct Western involvement in Ukraine, similar to the “buffer zones” created in Syria, is likely the best choice among the West’s poor choices left.

Washington’s Shifting Taiwan Policy Aims for an Asian “Ukraine” 1. Taiwan is to China as Ukraine is to Russia, in other words the US seeks to wage a proxy conflict through the breakaway island province in the same way the US is waging war with Russia through Ukrainian forces; 2. Just as US training and arms sales to Ukraine has done absolutely nothing to “repel” Russia, US training and arms to Taiwan will not only not “repel” any military operation to reintegrate Taiwan fully, it will most likely only accelerate provocations toward such a military operation; Washington’s goal in both Ukraine and Taiwan is not to preserve the regimes administering either territory, but to create and use conflicts involving both territories as justification for isolating Russia and China; 3. The Western arms industry obviously is benefiting to the tune of billions regarding arms sales to not only to Ukraine and Taiwan, but also to nations as part of “preparing” for wider conflict between Europe and Russia as well as Indo-Pacific nations and China; 4. In both cases it is clear that the US is not underwriting security for either Ukraine or Taiwan as well as the regions both territories reside in, and instead, is the greatest threat to both regions and wider global peace, stability, and prosperity.

Canadian “super sniper” Wali is back home in Canada. His story upon returning home is exceptionally disappointing considering the hype surrounding both him and the wider Ukrainian effort. In reality he claims he killed no one, watched his friends die around him, and struggled with a lack of weapons, ammunition, or with weapons like the US Javelin missile which made no difference in the fighting.

While the US government claims Russian progress in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region is “slow and uneven” it is admitting that Russia is making progress nonetheless. If Russia is making progress, Ukraine is doing the opposite of progress - it is losing ground. The type of warfare taking place now is warfare that is not only deliberately down slowly, systematically, and incrementally - it is warfare Russia has successfully utilized during the last 7 years of its military operations in Syria which included defeating US-NATO sponsored militants and retaking several major population centers.

The US and its allies spent 8 years building up the military Ukraine had at the beginning of Russian military operations in February 2022. This is the military Ukraine had that lost the cities of Kherson and Mariupol, and failed to prevent Russian forces now from shaping the battlefield in Donbas creating the conditions for Ukrainian forces there to be cut off, encircled, and systematically destroyed. After 8 years - this was the best the US and its allies could do to prepare Ukraine. Despite the urgent flood of weapons and money into Ukraine now along with remedial training programs - nothing now can be done better or quicker than over the past 8 years - Russia is removing Ukrainian combat capabilities off the battlefield faster than Ukraine and its allies can replace or regenerate it.

The Pentagon claims that Russian forces are not making progress around the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkov. However, it is clear that Russian forces are not attempting to take the city but instead are occupying the attention of Ukrainian forces there to prevent them from reinforcing the Donbas region - the current primary objective of Russian military planners.

The US government funded a RAND Corporation report to determine which nation in the Indo-Pacific region would be suitable for hosting US missiles aimed at China. The answer was “none.” However, the US is determined to change this conclusion not only in terms of hosting US missiles, but regarding Washington’s attempt to recruit nations across the Indo-Pacific region in its growing hostilities toward China.

กรุณารอซับไตเติ้ลภาษาไทยอีกสักครู่ เมื่อการฝังซับไตเติ้ลเสร็จเรียบร้อยแล้ว กรุณาเปิดแคปชั่นใน YouTube (CC) แล้วกดเลือกภาษาไทย Thailand celebrates the coronation of King Rama 10 on May 4th. The Thai monarchy has been a source of unity and fierce independence for the Thai nation for centuries. Thailand is the only nation in Southeast Asia to avoid Western colonization. Because the Thai monarchy is a source of Thai strength it has been a target of those who seek to divide and destroy Thailand, especially Anglo-American interests. Media outlets and organizations promoting anti-monarchy sentiment and promoting anti-monarchy protests are funded by the US through the notorious National Endowment for Democracy (NED) as well as various European governments. This is important to understand when looking at news about Thailand. If fronts like Voice of America and the BBC lie about everything else, would Thailand be the first thing they are telling the truth about?
