With Friends Like NATO, Ukraine Doesn’t Need Russia As Enemy

Posted on by

Scott Ritter at Russia Today:

The former US intelligence officer explained that in the event of a breakdown, the Ukrainians would not be able to use the weapon. Ritter reported that the M777 towed 155mm howitzer had weaknesses. It is lighter than the previous version and is unstable when fired. This howitzer also wears out quickly in combat. Its effectiveness decreases already on the fourth day of use. The howitzer becomes completely useless within a week. To address this shortcoming, the US military stepped up maintenance on the ground. But it required highly qualified personnel and high-quality logistics. The Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have such capabilities and howitzers will very quickly become unrepairable.

Similar difficulties will be caused by the maintenance of German “Leopards” and American M133 armored vehicles. These weapons are outdated, worn out and will fail soon after the outbreak of hostilities.

Scott Ritter stated that with such friends as NATO, Ukraine does not need enemies.

Earlier, Scott Ritter said that Europe is over. In his opinion, if the current positions regarding Russia do not change, the continent will suffer irreparable damage, which has not been seen since the end of World War II.

NATO Already On The Ground In Ukraine

From B29.net

Specialists from Great Britain and the United States are training Ukrainian soldiers, among other things, to use 3.600 modern anti-tank weapons.

They also train them to be saboteurs and practice partisan fighting techniques with them.

The British are the most numerous in the team for training Ukrainians with more than 100 elite soldiers of the SAS special unit.

Those soldiers have been in hiding in Ukraine since 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea. They train a professional Ukrainian army and volunteers. Also the members of the British naval special unit SBS are in Ukraine, along with the special scouts of the SRR unit.

The United States has also sent its special forces to Ukraine – Green Berets are training Ukrainians in urban combat, and the United States Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Teams are training on an old training ground in the west of the country. The European Command in Stuttgart is in charge of coordinating the activities of the US special forces.

Also, British and American elite soldiers have one special task, for which the units stationed in Lithuania are in charge, and that is to evacuate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky if necessary.

West Provoking Putin For The Sake Of Ukrainians Oligarchs

An article in Forbes in 2014 presciently advises the US to stop humiliating and provoking Putin:

. Despite what you read in the Western press, he [Putin] didn’t protest about NATO expansion, he gave up on a number of important Russian military bases, and acted aggressively only when he felt that Russia’s back yard was threatened. Annexation of Crimea, while responding to very strong popular demands both in Russia and Crimea, was a limited operation that enabled Putin to save his face after “losing” Ukraine. Since then he has given plenty of indications that he is ready to call it a day. His limited goals are acknowledged in the writings and interviews of such people as former ambassador to Russia Jack Matlock, or former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. But what needs to be stressed is that the next Russian leader might not be that accommodating, especially in light of continuous and needless bullying on the part of the US. Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s NATO representative and a serious political figure on the right, has already declared that next time he’ll fly into Ukraine and Moldova on military bomber after these countries didn’t allow his plane to use their airspace. What gave rise to Hitler was Germany’s continuous humiliation after World War I. The policy of public humiliation of Putin, the talk of “punishing” him or Russia for bad behavior, is insulting to the Russian leader and his countrymen. In contrast to Germany in 1939, Russia still has plenty of nuclear arms. Had Russia intended to enslave the US or its allies with its threat of nuclear bombs, I would be more than happy to repeat after New Hampshire: “Live Free or Die.” But is it worth it to taunt and threaten an already angry and frustrated nuclear power for the sake of handing Ukraine to the likes of Mr. Kolomoisky and his motley crew of oligarchs, nationalists, and subservient politicians? Those Western politicians and journalists, who confuse the issue of defending freedom with the power games that the current Ukrainian elite is playing, should be aware that they are not serving, but rather betraying, cherished American principles.

China Calls NATO Brain-Dead For Pouring Oil On Fire In Ukraine

Compare the measured words of the Chinese leader with Biden’s and NATO’s increasingly vituperative tone. Consider his emphasis on dialogue and negotiation and the need for ensuring the relative security of all parties, not just the absolute security of one.

From TASS [Russian state agency]:

Polish officials say that are not abandoning the idea of deploying NATO peacekeepers to Ukraine, Russian Ambassador in Warsaw Sergey Andreev said on the Soloviov Live project on Saturday.

“As for the idea of a peacekeeping operation, everything seems clear: Americans said that they would not deploy their troops, the NATO secretary general said that NATO was not considering such an operation. However, [Polish] officials say that they are not giving up on the idea, they will think, see and so on,” he said.

WWW III Alert: NATO Activates Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defenses

From Global News

NATO has activated its “chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defence elements” amid fears Russia could launch a biological strike in Ukraine.

Following an emergency summit of the military alliance on Thursday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels the decision comes as the allies move to equip Ukraine with its own biological defences.

“Our top military commander … has activated NATO’s chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defence elements,” he said.

“And allies are deploying additional chemical and biological and nuclear defences to reinforce our existing and new battlegroups, so we are taking measures both to support Ukraine and also to defend ourselves.”

Gonzalo Lira: NATO False Flag Coming Soon

Posted on by

Gonzalo Lira, on the ground in Kharkov, explains why he thinks a NATO false-flag is in the making. Well, in Victoria Nuland’s testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, she tacitly admitted the existence of germ warfare labs run by the US in the Ukraine, so the US and its Ukrainian puppet are going to have to answer questions about genocide in the Donbas. Putin is a lawyer, and he knows exactly what constitutes a genocide under international law, so this is no exaggeration.  It is the palpable fear of being held accountable for this and other war crimes that drives US/NATO’s more and more hysterical moves, according to Andrei Martyanov.  It was thus that we had the Mariupol hospital bombing allegation, on which I blogged,  a relatively quick counter-attack on the psychological front. That was soon deconstructed, but it has bought time for NATO to come up with a more effective and dangerous false-flag employing chemical weapons, that will provide the pretext for NATO/US to intervene directly.
