What's in the Latest US Arms Package + US Provocations vs Russia & China

The New Atlas
5 Feb, 2023

Russian military operations in Ukraine + US Escalation vs Russia & China continues...
- Latest US arms package for Ukraine contains fewer actual weapons to be transferred to Ukraine, and more contracts for new weapons to be built;

- Weapons like the ground-launched small diameter bomb is included in weapons yet-to-be-built and face compatibility issues with Ukraine's existing MLRS force;

- Other equipment listed like counter battery radar sets appear to indicate large numbers of losses to Russian military operations;

- Germany's decision to send 14 Leopard 2 tanks and 88 Leopard 1 tanks reveal a very deliberate invocation of Germany's sordid history during WW2;

- US weapons pouring into Ukraine are types unlikely to be used in a potential war Washington Seeks to provoke with China;

- The "balloon" incident represents a deliberate stepping stone toward war put in place by US leadership;
