Anthony Blinken, and Victoria Neuland under the Obama/Biden administration were the progenitors of the Miadan revolution in 2014, via the CIA. Obama, and then secretary of stare Hillary Clinton, and their operators were the cause of the mess in Ukaraine!
You realize there are and have been mercs on both sides of this conflict, operating big boy weapons right?Why Are Mercenaries Driving Russia’s Best T-90 Tank?

It seems that Russian mercenary firm The Wagner Group is operating Russia’s best tank, the T-90M.

That would be yet another wrinkle in the increasingly befuddling story of The Wagner Group, an entity that legally doesn’t even exist, but which for six months has been fighting one of the most brutal battles of Russia’s wider war on Ukraine.
The Wagner Group, which made its first appearance in a war zone in eastern Ukraine in 2014, is a useful tool of Russia’s foreign policy. In reality a network of closely related companies rather than a single firm, The Wagner Group fronted Russia’s intervention in the Libyan and Syrian civil wars and, under the guise of “peacekeeping,” also represents Russian mining interests in insurgency-riven Central African Republic.
Wagner offers the Kremlin plausible deniability—both at broad and at home. “This blurring of the lines between civil, military and peacekeeping operations during the hostilities creates confusion about the legitimate targets and increases the risks for widespread human rights and humanitarian law abuses,” United Nations experts warned.
In Ukraine, Wagner fights as a conventional force. Its best contractors—some 10,000 ex-servicemembers—lead battalions made up mostly of minimally-trained former convicts who Wagner recruited from Russia’s prisons. There are as many as 40,000 ex-prisoners on Wagner’s payroll. That’s a fifth of the Russian force in Ukraine.
Wagner since early summer has focused its efforts in Ukraine on a single town in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region. Bakhmut is a ruined ghost town. It lacks major industry or transportation infrastructure. It doesn’t seem to possess much military value.
But that hasn’t stopped Wagner from dedicating almost all its forces in Ukraine to the Bakhmut sector—and losing many of them in repeated, failed human-wave assaults on the town’s entrenched Ukrainian garrison.
Analysts have surmised that Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former sausage-vendor and close associate of Russian president Vladimir Putin who now is Wagner’s chief financier, views the Bakhmut battle as an opportunity to prove Wagner’s warfighting mettle and position the firm as an alternative to regular Russian forces in the Kremlin’s military establishment.
It’s apparent that Prigozhin and Russian generals are bitter rivals. When Wagner artillery batteries around Bakhmut ran out of ammunition, they blamed Gen. Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian general staff.
What’s weird is that the Russian military and The Wagner Group clearly have close ties. Wagner pilots fly Sukhoi Su-24 and Su-25 attack jets that technically belong to the Russian air force and evidently benefit from air force logistical support.
The presence of T-90M tanks in the Wagner arsenal around Bakhmut, first reported by pro-Russia war correspondent Alexander Simonov, deepens the weirdness.
The 45-ton, three-person T-90 with its 125-millimter gun and steel-composite armor is Russia’s newest and best tank. Before the current war, the Russians on paper had more than 600 T-90s. But 200 were in storage—and in cold, wet Russia, modern tanks with their delicate optics and electronics tend to degrade fast while not in routine use.
So in fact, the Russian army had just 400 T-90s before attacking Ukraine in late February. And after February, it lost at least 36 of the tanks in combat with Ukrainian forces. That brings the total T-90 inventory down to around 360, of which at least 50 belong to Russian army battalions defending a key road around Svatove, 50 miles north of Bakhmut.
The T-90s are highly valuable and in short supply. So why would the Kremlin give, or sell, any of them to Wagner while Wagner directly competes with the Russian army for influence in Moscow?
No one outside of the Kremlin and The Wagner Group’s Saint Petersburg headquarters can explain the odd and seemingly paradoxical relationship between the mercenary company and the army. Those who do understand, aren’t saying anything.

The interesting part is not the lowered birth rate its the last three or so paragraphs about currency insolvency. It makes me wonder if Blackrock’s money and other loans that will be coming are being put in place to help rectify this.I'm sure the plutocrats who have been flooding Europe with foreigners are just saddened to tears by this inevitable outcome:

Part of me wonders if the whole thing is just a big money laundering scam chewing up cheap lives of poors.
The Ukrainian women fleeing to Europe will be raped by immigrants and increase their birth rates. The rape percentages are astronomical.
Wow,
I agree with everything above.
yeah, i don't mind seeing what the "other side" wants to say....
Might be. But the blanket would eventually get the same temp as the surface its covering. The blanket looks to be an exact fit and not some random pieces thrown onto itIs there a thermal blanket on the tank?
I wonder what the legalities of former SF personnel working as civi’s for the CIA in Russia are? I mean, now that the trans basketball clown is back maybe real Christian’s in action have a chance on making it home if they survive the capture.
Yeah… this.
Nobody ever stopped anyone from posting the stupidest shit on here
Why do you say that? I aint shot one.. but I trust GT's opinion and according to him, its one of the very small few SMG's that can rival the ever-excellent MP5...meh. not sure I'm sold on the MPX

it is no surprise the UK was instrumental in the hoax to frame trump, since he didn't want the fake civil war in syria that was started by the UK and CIA arming sunni extremists...with the goal to topple the secular government and install a sunni government that would be friendly to the Kingdom and gulf states, and allow british petroleum to build a pipeline from the gulf through syria and turkey into the eu.A little more light pool side reading for you…
Fighting power and the war in Ukraine » Wavell Room
The British Army's model of fighting power tells us why Ukraine is winning this war.
And if you’re interested in the cliff notes:
“The physical component
Ukraine has the physical edge. This wasn’t the case at the start of the war, where Russian overmatch in numbers of soldiers, equipment and ammunition helped them to make sweeping territorial gains and push to within miles of Kyiv. Russian forces had been massing on the border for months, honing their training and maximising their readiness to deploy. When they did, their physical edge was almost overwhelming.
The tables have now turned. Of the physical component, the war in Ukraine has shown that sustainment is Russia’s greatest weakness, highlighted most vividly by a 40-mile-long convoy stalled just north of the Ukrainian capital. Sanctions imposed by the West have taken their toll on the aggressor’s ability to resupply, as component parts become harder or impossible to obtain under trade restrictions. As the war in Ukraine continues and more equipment is lost and stocks of high-tech ammunition expended, sustainment issues will continue to build.
Ukraine has seen its fortunes reversed. Governments have pledged over 84 billion euros worth of military and other aid.[noteUkraine Support Tracker, Kiel Institute for the World Economy.[/note] Most prestigiously this includes US HIMARS rocket launchers, but the contributions are varied and enormous; the UK alone has provided 64 artillery guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition, amongst other equipment, and is providing training for 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers.6 Contrast this to a Russia that cannot resupply, cannot even keep hold of its own equipment (losing as much as two brigades-worth of military equipment) and cannot train (many trainers having been committed to combat, or killed or wounded already) and Ukraine appears to have the physical ascendancy.
Russia’s attempts to redress this physical imbalance show the weakness of its hand. At almost four-times the size of the regular British Army, 300,000 newly mobilised men is a formidable figure. Without adequate training or equipment, however, this is little more than a paper tiger, especially when facing a Ukrainian Army increasingly supplied with long-range weapons. Russia’s other tactic is to posture increasingly aggressively, threatening larger and more destructive weapons – up to and including its nuclear arsenal – to compensate for its current physical weakness. This is a potent card to play but reveals how desperate Russia sees its own position; such options were not on the table when they looked to be winning. Against this two-trick pony, Ukraine will continue to build momentum within the physical component, as long as it is not abandoned by its allies and Russia does not turn to its weapons of last and most desperate resort.”
and the conclusion…
“Conclusion
The model of fighting power is a key component of the overarching aspects of British Army doctrine. It takes three core factors of physical, moral and conceptual and recognises that these encapsulate the crucial factors that determine the outcome of war. This article has applied them to the tactical situation in Ukraine. It has argued that Russia is comprehensively and increasingly outmatched in the physical and moral domain, and that it has no clear advantage in the conceptual one. It recognises that Russia is not a defeated force, and has powerful tools left at its disposal, but that even with these Ukraine remains in the ascendancy. The war is far from over, but the writing may just be starting to go onto the wall.”
Cast your nets a little wider. Read the research that the professionals are writing. As stated in the conclusion. The war is far from over…
See now, that’s where the conundrum takes place: if that was truly the case, have they abandoned that now that the WEF says oil is bad? IF SO, why is there still involvement in Syria?
prolly a lot like the mujahideen, they can't control the extremists once they have armed them.
WEF says oil is bad but meanwhile I bet the WEF and allies make a lot of $ off oil
Yeah their oil is bad is just a ploy to strangle and control supply and cost.
I'm sure the plutocrats who have been flooding Europe with foreigners are just saddened to tears by this inevitable outcome:

why would you give a fuck? you've been rooting for the globalist faggots the whole time.
The really screwy part is that it might actually be a reasonable description of the situation. What fucking mess of shit…
