Is something going on in Ukraine?

Ukraine is a corrupt shithole. It's bastard leadership worked hard at their disinformation campaign to overthrow our elected president, Donald Trump. My primary concern in all of this, is how will it affect my country, my prosperity, and my kids future. The hell with corrupt Ukraine. And nothing good will come out of the NWO elites dragging us into a war there. But with every day that goes by, we draw closer and closer to a direct confrontation with Russia. It's a set up; it's contrived. This was all a giant bear trap to ensnare Russia. But none of that matters. What matters is how it will damage or destroy the things that do matter to me. And I think I'm the same as most Americans when I say this.
i think this is a wag the dog for biden, and his failures. they baited putin into acting.
also a vent for the pent up anger of most americans about covid restrictions and all that bullshit.
once the government had to admit the lockdowns and masks don't work, they had to redirect that anger elsewhere.
add the fact that war or not, our gas prices and inflation were out of control...
add the fact that there is no doubt somebody at nyt told the xiden people the hunter laptop story was coming,
add the border shit, durham clinton shit and election ballot harvesting shit and they had to have something else on the news 24/7.
they got it too.

the "Great Reset" of Soros, Schwab, Gates, and the rest of the elitist vampires. IDK. this may be too far down the rabbit hole, but what better way to thin out the global herd to a manageable 1 billion than a little thermonuclear war?

Here's some really fucked up shit.
Yes I just looked at a MSM site to get this.
I do not doubt it's for real, I do not doubt our idiots in DC will send it.
Imagine the cost of this shit.....and how the weapons manufacturers are drooling.

Ukraine tells the US it needs 500 Javelins and 500 Stingers per day​


Fucking daily ?!?

Commercial aircraft will have to double their chaff loads.
 
Note the MG42 in one of the photos.
MG42 and clones are still found in storage in a number of euro militaries also on the civilian market these are not that rare or expensive although i have to say CIA Syrian project drained much of eastern Europe surplus arms. Prior to them buying all the shit up you could get Assault rifles like AKs and Vz58 for 35$ a piece when buying them in crates.Mg42 was under 800$ you can still buy them for about 1200-1500$ ,those water-cooled Maxism out of Ukraine were 500$ a pop with the wheeled carriage and armored shield.

In any case, once the whole Ukraine things cools down i suspect we will be buying a bunch in Ukraine :devilish: , at the supplied gear that just disappeared once it crosses into Ukraine i can imagine there are a bunch of 'enterprising' individuals siphoning off all this aid and making stashes to sell day after.

I think I get your point.
Yeh, but too many words. All has already been written its waste of time trying to convince people. Far easier to believe there be Soviet propaganda agents and handlers of US politicians than looking into a mirror and realizing that what has happened to a proud nation that truly had potential is mostly due to complacency and trading comfort for stand...

While true enemies still remain hiding in the shadows...
 
Nothing to see here its just start of Brandon's global famine.
I think we will have start shooting immigrants on the borders and fortify the borders DMZ style as this Brandon induced famine will unleash waves of migrants moving from Africa and ME into Europe.

We are fast approaching the stage where Kamala and aides can't suck enough cocks fast enough to calm the shit down.

Lionel Zinsou Former President of Benin
“Now we all only hear about this crisis, anti-Russian sanctions, oil, gas… Do you understand what this crisis means, for example, for Africa? Russia supplies us with grain and corn. All logistics go through the Black Sea. And the African world froze in horror from what was happening. Terrified by the actions of the US and the European Union.
You don't buy Africans with stories about democracy. These are only your fairy tales for internal consumption. The majority of the African elite was formed in the Soviet Union - doctors, engineers, pilots, teachers, scientists. Russians are the only Europeans who have decolonized Africa. And Africa remembers it. Just as Africa remembers European atrocities.
If you notice, African countries did not support the UN resolution condemning Russia. And they will never support any resolutions against Russia. This is hardwired into the backbone of every African: Russia is good, no matter what you think about it. This is a constant.
All of Africa is watching the Central African Republic and Mali. What the Europeans could not do for decades, the Russians did in a year. In place of the Central African Republic there were gangs, today there is a real state there.
I know that there are diplomats in the hall, employees of the Foreign Ministry. I appeal to you, to French diplomacy: look for a solution to your problem, as soon as possible, because if the conflict does not end in a month, Africa will break out.
It is for you that energy problems are at the forefront. In the worst case, you will have less heat and fewer cars, and we will have a hunger problem in Africa! Hear me, the crisis in Africa will entail the destruction of Europe.
Come to your senses, look for diplomatic solutions. And don't forget that countries like India and China support Russia. Africa supports Russia.
I do not want to talk about democracy, and you will not pity me, an African, with stories about the unfortunate Ukraine and calls for humanity. Your democracy is your business. There is no need to impose on us your ideas about how we, Africans, should live.
Again! Look for compromises, let the diplomats work. Time is against us. We have 30 days! Thirty! No more!"

Talking trains and electric bikes , with all the crazy fuel prices and diesel rationing a real posibility , i do admit that i have given same taught to converting a old mini pickup to electric drive , for all the fuss with electric cars i reckon if you own some solar you could keep it running much longer than gasoline or diesel car once the grid goes down. It just seems to make sense to have at least one electric vehicle in addition to diesel or gasoline cars.
Being able to have diesel or gas on hand for an extended time would be a much better use of your time and supplies. Use the solar for other things.
 
Spend your money on a diesel tank full of fuel and a diesel generator.... Problem solved. All you need to do is out live your neighbor's.... Think about it.
It's tough to keep "fresh" fuel around...

I mean, when will I actually NEED it?
If I could set a date to plan for - it would probably result in a smoother transition to grid-down, no more food or water available situations. LOL

Don't let the diesel go stale........ Rotate it.... Fill your truck and tractor out of the storage tank and bring in fresh fuel to replenish the tank..... Several additives that will extend the life of fuel is available.... The older diesel generators will run on stale fuel as long as it is filtered well.... Start looking around at the stand by generators at your local hospitals, jails and other emergency services... They run once a week to keep things dried out and functioning and the tank is then topped off.......

Yeah I know what you mean, crystal ball and everything.

I would like someone to show me some bulk fuel that "went bad" due to prolonged storage time if you didn't take at least some steps to extend its life. An over-hyped thing in my opinion.

Your sentence is a bit hard to read clearly.

Standard gasoline / diesel fuel that is untreated / unprepared for long term storage will go bad after some time.
Gasoline that you buy at the local gas station is the worst due to the additives in the fuel that make it absorb moisture. Leave that sitting in your fuel tank and gas jug for a year or two and you could very easily render your generator non-functional.

Diesel lasts longer, but still needs to be treated and correctly stored if you want it to last long term.

In small motors only use ethanol free gas and add Sta Bil to it. For long term storage drain all the fuel out of it.

Yeah I'm aware of how the different fuels react to storage.

My point was people like to talk that you can't store fuels very long, when if you take the necessary steps with treatment, etc they will store for a fairly long time. Diesel is your friend as far as I'm concerned.
 
I had hoped that the war would interrupt the kickbacks to the Xiden crime family and the other corrupt government fuckers and their families.
Now, sadly, with billions in "foreign aid" headed that direction... the politicians back door cash source has been revived.

BILLIONS... for a shit hole.

Wouldn't it be nice if DC had the same concerns about the multitude of problems within, and adjacent to our own borders, and spent the money here? I know, fantasy land.

The demise and destruction of America continues.

Yes its a more straightforward solution but at one point you can only store so much and you can't make gasoline or diesel while you can make electricity for years with some solar . another thing is the gasoline engine is incredibly inefficient most of your fuel goes puf through heat.
I have come around thinking electric in addition to diesel for any extended duration use(months or even years)

Modern cars will go to shit on bad fuel faster than you can blink. Modern Diesel cars are nowadays more sensitive than gasoline cars, much of the modern diesel tech is about fucking around gaming the emissions standards.

Modern electric car will in very near future give you only as much as your social score allows other cars will folow , so think of more primitive tech. DIY conversion with one of the Tesla motors and xyz battery pack. Not as a first car but 3rd 4th option.

Yep, stored for hurricanes, to run the genset. Years, still good, biocide treatment every 12 months.

A magnetic fuel conditioner is a great thing for stored diesel fuel. When cans are stored outside, condensation builds on the inside and water pools in the bottom over time. Algae live at the interface. If you run the fuel through an algae-X magnetic fuel conditioner, this stops the algae bloom and improves damaged fuel. I have installed them many times on boats, with excellent results.
 
Have you seen the way many of the "Patriot" or "Prepper" or "Militia" types tend to train for the coming (insert whatever name is in use that day for the great time of fighting somebody or other)?

It seems folks at all levels don't quite get how a two way range works until they have recently been on one.

Also meaning no disrespect to the followers of the Prophet, it's a fair bit different having a two way range in the lands of the sands,
Compared to fighting on a two way range with people that have a fair bit higher IQ, more training and lots of good weapons.

Until someone receives effective fire back on them, they live in a fantasy world. Why just the other day on SH there were guys thinking they could take on Armor in their own neighborhood.

Anyway. Back to the topic. Some good articles by Mr Cohen, USMC, on the war in the Ukraine.


I am looking for how snipers are being used in the war but found few if any articles. The doctrine on long range interdiction will have some chnges no doubt after this.

I’ve been studying strategic maps of that region for at least 40 years now. That map is purposely looking south from the Russian perspective. I’ve lived all over that region, including all over Russia. That map gives you a vantage point from which to see the invasion routes, and shows how sequentially Putin has been plugging up the holes. Ukraine is just one major corridor and strategic imperative for Russian to control along that path he already announced to his foreign ministry in the 2000s, which is when I learned about the plan.

It’s not about knowing just where the Central Asian Republics are, but the Caucuses, Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, Baltics, and Finland. This all makes much more sense when you view the map as from a vantage point sitting above Russia and looking outward with 3D perspective. Russia is very high in latitude, like Canada/Alaska/Scandinavia.

That map is OLD OLD OLD - its the same map of the Mongol conquests which is the base map for any operations in Eastern Europe and Asia.
 
Some new 'gun rights' in Europe in light of Ukraine war, soldiers , reservists and members of shooting associations are now allowed to purchase and privately own full-auto rifles in Lithuania


The Baltics adopted the Swiss model a few years ago.

Thanks for the info.
I manufacture diesel generators for a living.
8kw to 400kw.

I get to deal with phone calls from people who bought a genset 5 years ago, filled it full of fuel when new - with zero treatment - then decide after 5 years they want to go and start it after never starting it anytime in between. Battery is dead. Fuel is full of algae. Fuel rail is frozen/corroded stuck.... and somehow it's MY fault and should be covered under warranty. LOL

I love the public! hahahahahaha

I'm with you........ Across the board, American's are the dumbest society on this Earth... I am not proud to say that. Some will be offended the rest will just nod in agreement.
 
Better yet!


Here is a better map from a pro-Kremlin source with better definition. I will caution that this source is biased towards Russia though, so take it with a grain of salt. This doesn't show some of the contested space that swaps hands regularly and again depicts the farthest extent of Russian advances.

Even better is this map of the terrain. Note that the low plains are what Russia has and the riverine/uplands terrain are where they stopped. The soil map is below this. Mostly heavy clays which are not good for vehicles off road outside of the summer period or the deep winter. Not good for a heavily mechanized force. Those lowlands are all treed and make natural approaches.

Russia has a shit load of armor... I bet they are using them to take out transports and duces and duce in a halfs
hell, they are in a target rich environment, and probably more accurate than motar fire.
Ukraine needed a few fly overs with some A10s when all that armor was lined up, cluster bombs.. or some South African Artillery
long range stuff.

In a recent firing series held in South Africa, the German-South African joint-venture Rheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM) demonstrated a dramatic increase in the range of its artillery firepower. The demonstration employed three 155 mm cannons with 52 and 39 caliber lengths, which scored three world records – firing at ranges of 76, 67 and 54 km.​

I doubt that is the end of it. On June 24th, 2021 a condo collapsed in Florida. With all the supporting agencies and functioning rescue services, it took them until July 22nd, 2021 to confirm the total death count.

In many of these cities, they will be finding bodies for months or years.

Most bodies currently appear to be freezing shortly after death, which is a good thing for now.
Come warmer temperatures, the spread of the smell will be secondary only to the spread of disease.
