Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine is being fought differently than the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 not because Russia’s military is inferior or incapable of conducting modern warfare effectively, but because it is an entirely different type of conflict. - Ukraine is larger geographically, with a larger population, larger and better equipped/trained military; - Ukraine has built up fortified positions across the Donbass for the last 8 years; - These defenses are not merely infantry sitting in trenches - they include long-range fire support from artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, mortars, tanks, and anti-tank weapons; - To defeat these defenses, Russia must methodically eliminate long-range Ukrainian heavy weapons; - Russia uses loitering munitions like the Lancet to destroy Ukrainian howitzers, rocket launchers, counter-battery radar sets, and air defense systems; - The destruction of Ukrainian heavy weapons allows Russia to storm fortified positions with tanks, armored personnel carriers, and infantry fighting vehicles after careful artillery preparations; - Ukraine is unable to prepare ahead of offensives in this way, necessitating the loss of large numbers of men and equipment as during the Kherson/Kharkov offensives; References: Defense Politics Asia - Ukraine Map: https://defensepoliticsasia.com/ukraine/ Where to Find My Work: Website: https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrianJBerletic 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 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 Cryptocurrency Donations: Ethereum (ETH): 0xee6ed93c3adc474450011e9af22939a0b9b312c7 BitCoin (BTC): 1AfGnbmHxA6cy9YKUSxysXvpJPyecpBKrr Monero (XMR): 845TCXx3pchSBXuDL7FHG679gbWD2wkHS6MJxuq7jFVsVFj7T6xsry747uhhGZUdkaRXbbrMfo5c8RnGfzGZ13KxQUdHVLR

- Could moves by Poland and Ukraine be a precursor to the establishment of a buffer zone in western Ukraine similar to the one established by the US and Turkey in Syria to freeze the conflict there? - Is Ukraine's ongoing sea and air drone campaign a significant threat to Russia's fighting capacity, or just a means to maintain the illusion of holding the initiative? - And are US-supplied cluster munitions finally making a difference on the battlefield or is the Western media simply working its way through the latest "wonder weapon" narrative? ▪️Follow Garland on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/GarlandNixon ▪️Follow Garland on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@garlandn/featured ▪️Dr. Leon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrWLeon Where to Find My Work: Website: https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrianJBerletic 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 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 Cryptocurrency Donations: Ethereum (ETH): 0xee6ed93c3adc474450011e9af22939a0b9b312c7 BitCoin (BTC): 1AfGnbmHxA6cy9YKUSxysXvpJPyecpBKrr Monero (XMR): 845TCXx3pchSBXuDL7FHG679gbWD2wkHS6MJxuq7jFVsVFj7T6xsry747uhhGZUdkaRXbbrMfo5c8RnGfzGZ13KxQUdHVLR

The Western media based on US Army market surveys is taking notice of critical shortages of munitions among US stockpiles and what is available to send Ukraine. The shortages undoubtedly have and will continue to manifest themselves on the battlefield in the form of Ukrainian forces being constantly outgunned.

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for December 12, 2022. - Russia continues its war of attrition - focusing on exhausting and overwhelming critical Ukrainian defenses around Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine/western Russia; - Despite claims that Russian missile stockpiles are depleted, Russia continues carrying out regular, large-scale missile barrages against Ukrainian infrastructure; - Latest US assistance package for Ukraine continues the trend of dwindling, inadequate support for Ukraine; - US government procurement numbers over the course of the next 2-5 years indicates that at no time in the near future will the US be capable of producing let alone supplying Ukraine with the number of weapons and ammunition it requires; - While Russian production data is not available, the fact that Russia’s stockpiles and military were configured for large-scale protracted and intense combat suggests its military industrial output is likewise configured for such demands; - The Western media is now admitting that Ukraine can neither win, nor is there any moral imperative to ensure that it does...

Providing material support including communication equipment is a stated policy of US plans for regime change and specifically in regards to Iran.

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for March 23, 2023: - Russian forces continue encircling the fortified cities of Bakhmut and now Avdeevka, two major points along Ukraine's defense line in the Donbass; - Ukraine is gearing up for its upcoming offensive, carrying out drone strikes on Crimea and reconnaissance by force along the line of contact in Zaporozhye; - the stated goal of Ukraine according to Western reports is to cut the land-bridge between Crimea and the rest of Russia, though that would hardly isolate Crimea entirely; - Ukraine would suffer immense losses, just as they did during the Kharkov /Kherson offensives last year, with the addition of many more Russian troops and extensive defensive works created months in advance; - The US and EU are surging remaining stockpiles of artillery ammunition to Ukraine ahead of the offensive to sustain 2-4 months of intense fighting. Once depleted it will take years for the West to restore these stockpiles; - Russian shell production appears to have exceeded Western output as early as 2014-2015 and has continuously increased since meaning Russia's ability to regenerate combat power exceeds the West's at this moment; - Ukraine's upcoming offensive should not be underestimated nor the prospects of a breakthrough, Russian forces have repeatedly demonstrated a preference for withdrawing over being encircled or suffering heavy casualties as part of its attrition strategy; References: Financial Times - Ukraine asks EU for 250,000 artillery shells a month (March 4, 2023): https://www.ft.com/content/75ee9701-aa93-4c5d-a1bc-7a51422280fd Financial Times - Explosives shortage threatens EU drive to arm Ukraine (March 20, 2023): https://www.ft.com/content/aee0e1a1-c464-4af9-a1c8-73fcbc46ed17 Reuters - EU seals plan to send a million artillery shells to Ukraine (March 20, 2023): https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-agrees-plan-send-million-artillery-shells-ukraine-2023-03-20/ NYT - Artillery Is Breaking in Ukraine.

Forbes has published an article attempting to dismiss concerns over extremism among the ranks of Ukraine’s armed forces as Russian propaganda, but admits that it had been a problem that Ukraine has since “fixed.” Unfortunately, a screenshot included in the article is from a video that proves exactly the opposite - that extremism in Ukraine’s armed forces is worse than ever and openly benefiting from Western weapons and equipment flooding the country.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for May 17, 2023: - Russia’s Ministry of Defense and US officials confirm Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles successfully targeted US-made Patriot air defense systems; - Patriot systems launched approximately 30 missiles over 2 minutes, representing tens of millions of dollars of missiles that were already in short supply; - Despite this, the Western media continues repeating obvious fabrications about Ukraine intercepting “all” incoming missiles and drones. The Patriot system falling victim to a Kinzhal missile despite firing upward to 30 missiles calls into question Ukraine’s previous claims of intercepting a Kinzhal days earlier; - As Ukraine burns through Western weapons and ammunition, the West continues preparing to transfer other weapon systems including warplanes; - European nations are preparing a “coalition” to purchase and provide F-16 fighters to Ukraine; - F-16 warplanes have no specific capability beyond the aircraft that made up Ukraine’s original air force which is now mostly destroyed; References: TASS - Russia hits US-made Patriot air defense system in Kiev with Kinzhal hypersonic weapon (May 16, 2023): https://tass.com/defense/1618257 BBC - Ukraine war: Kyiv says it shot down Russian hypersonic missiles (May 17, 2023): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65606385 CNN - US assessing potential damage of Patriot missile defense system following Russian attack near Kyiv (May 16, 2023): https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/16/politics/patriot-missile-damage-ukraine/index.html Lockheed Martin - New Lockheed Martin Facility To Support Increased PAC-3 Production (October 2022): https://news.lockheedmartin.com/2022-10-04-new-lockheed-martin-facility-to-support-increased-pac-3-production Guardian - UK and Netherlands agree ‘international coalition’ to help Ukraine procure F-16 jets (May 16, 2023): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/16/uk-and-netherlands-agree-international-coalition-to-help-ukraine-with-f-16-jets Politico - The end of Ukraine aid is rapidly approaching.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for May 22, 2023: - Russian Ministry of Defense claims the Donbass city of Bakhmut/Artyomovsk has been fully taken by Russian forces; - Western analysts claim the city’s capture will not “turn the tide” of the conflict, ignoring the war of attrition taking place superseding territorial advances; - The US is sending another weapons package to Ukraine featuring an unspecified amount of ammunition for HIMARS, artillery systems, anti-tank weapons, and both bridging and logistics equipment; - The US is also incrementally moving in favor of sending Ukraine F-16 fighter jets through third party nations in Europe.

Western government & the Western media have deliberately lied about China operating a central "social credit score" system driven by political and ideological criteria. However the same Western sources admit upon further examination that this is a myth, that no such system exists, and the multitude of systems China does use are for tracking and punishing what would be considered serious offenses anywhere.

Many have noted the suspicious and very convenient timing regarding Azerbaijan-Armenia hostilities which serve as an additional distraction for Russia amid its special military operation in Ukraine and its ongoing operations in Syria. In addition to a recent visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Armenia, anti-CSTO protests promoted by US government-funded media organizations in Armenia point toward events being much more than convenient timing and instead similar to US-engineered unrest seen in Ukraine in 2014.

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for July 17, 2022 - Russian forces continue operations against Bakhmut-Siversk defense line; - Russian forces have reportedly destroyed another HIMARS; - The Pentagon has been deliberately vague regarding HIMARS performance in briefings; - Striking behind Russian lines may be possible for Ukraine, but not in the quantities Russia is capable of regarding strikes behind Ukrainian lines; - Claims that Russia is deliberately striking civilian targets is transparent war propaganda; References: US Department of Defense - Senior Military Official Holds a Background Briefing JULY 15, 2022: https://www.defense.gov/News/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/3095350/senior-military-official-holds-a-background-briefing/ NYT - Strikes on Civilians Deep in Ukraine Show Russia’s Lethal Reach: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/14/world/europe/ukraine-vinnytsia-missile-attack.html Washington Post - Russia has killed civilians in Ukraine.

Just as the Western media spread lies about China before the Communist Party of China's (CPC) Congress including fabrications about a "coup" that never took place - the Western media is now lying about what happened during the Congress itself - including stories of former Chinese President Hu Jintao being "dragged" out of the event. In reality - and by looking at footage of Hu Jintao being escorted in - it is clear that he was frail, ill, and disoriented and his departure from the event was health-related.

US government-funded Frontline PBS recently published a video regarding alleged Russian "war crimes" from early 2022. Despite over half a year to gather evidence, the video report categorically fails to prove the Russian massacres of Ukrainian civilians.
