The ‘sacred’ idea of America distilled here is nothing more than an imperial illusion, a web cast over the eyes of a European continent that’s been under total occupation since the end of WW2. What they’re saying, ultimately, is—there is no inherent sacredness to this manufactured ideal of theirs, but rather it’s an enforced illusion, that’s as brittle as chalk once people are awakened to it. And they believe Russia’s powers of awakening are an existential threat.

"Nowhere to retreat": the officer of the AFU came to rage because of the order of Zelensky

The Ukrainian leadership has belatedly ordered a large-scale construction of fortifications, Colonel Viktor Kivilyuk, an analyst of the Center for Defense Strategies, said in an interview with the Ukrainian publication Kyiv Independent.
"
"We have been sitting there (at the current positions of the AFU. - Editor's note) for six months, and suddenly the supreme commander-in-chief (Vladimir Zelensky. - Editor's note) wakes up and proposes to build fortifications. Where was he all this time?" - complained the expert.
According to Kiviliuk, the pre-prepared defense lines are now of "critical" importance for Ukraine. At the same time, according to the newspaper, the AFU soldiers often complain that the command is unable to prepare even ordinary trenches for retreating from forward positions, let alone more developed defenses.

An artillery officer on the front line complained to journalists about the lack of men and resources to prepare fortified positions. According to him, the Ukrainian command did not build any fortifications for soldiers on the second line of defense and did not bother to prepare villages for defensive battles.

"When the Russians storm the trenches, our guys have nowhere to retreat and nowhere to take up positions; they are forced to dig trenches under machine gun and sniper fire, to say nothing of artillery shelling," the AFU officer said.
Earlier, the Washington Post reported that uncertainty prevails in the AFU on all fronts, and morale is weakening. Vladimir Zelensky said in late November that he discussed the creation of fortifications on the main defensive lines: Avdiivka, Maryinka, Kupyansko-Limanska directions, as well as in the regions bordering Russia and Belarus. According to him, the development of defense will henceforth become a priority issue for Kiev.

For the last 60 years the United States has wasted money and the blood of its youth in fighting guerrillas, insurgents, goat herder and camel jockeys.

At no time has the West squared up against a peer military with comparable, if not superior, air power, electronic warfare and combined arms experience, until now. The United States and its NATO partners created a de facto NATO army in Ukraine and naively assumed they could go toe-to-toe with Russia. I fear that the U.S. politicians and military leaders still fail to grasp that the “war” in Ukraine really was a special military operation. Russia did not unleash its full capabilities. The Russian General Staff, following the guidance received from President Putin, took great pains to avoid massive civilian casualties. Russia left a majority of Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure in place. Russia declined to destroy Ukraine and the West’s ISR platforms and satellite systems. Those actions are what you would see if Russia went on a total war footing.

In 2022, the Pentagon only managed to account for 39 percent of its $3.5 trillion in assets. With this failure, the Pentagon has kept its spot as the only US government agency to have never passed a comprehensive audit. It also highlights the US war department's persistent lack of internal financial control, its poor budget estimations and rampant overspending.

A clear example of this is the F-35 program, which has gone over its original budget by $165 billion to build a plane tasked to perform many different tasks, none of which it does well.The Pentagon is slated to buy more than 2,400 F-35s for the Air Force, Marines, and Navy. The estimated lifetime cost for procuring and operating these planes – $1.7 trillion – would make it the Pentagon’s most expensive weapons project ever.

A 2021 Pentagon assessment of the F-35 found 800 unresolved defects in the plane.

For sixth year, Pentagon fails to account for over $3T


Let's remember Zumwalt, it's a total failure there too.

With such weapons, the US military is very lucky that the "evil" Russians haven't destroyed them yet.

Some assholes say that the USSR would not have defeated the Nazis if not for lend-lease.
The Kiev regime is more than fully provided with lend-lease, so why doesn't it win?

At the end of the war, Stetsko – who had eagerly written about the need to adopt Germany’s genocide methods to exterminate Ukraine’s Jews – decamped for America, where he spent decades running the OUN from the US while traveling in the highest circles of Washington, DC. Both Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush celebrated Stetsko as a staunch anti-communist freedom fighter. He died in 1986.

Fighting communism is part of the reason Stetsko and thousands of others were welcomed by Western governments. As World War II rapidly transitioned into the Cold War, Western intelligence agencies recognized the potential of nurturing anti-Soviet groups in order to weaken the Kremlin’s hold over Eastern Europe. As a result, those who fought against Moscow became welcome assets. Some of the most organized and zealous assets also happened to be fascists and anti-Semites whose vision of freedom – and wartime experience – involved cleansing Jews and other ethnicities from their homeland.

"According to declassified documents made public under the Freedom of Information Act, on the night of December 3, 1949, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission sprayed radioactive iodine-131 (12,000 Curies) and xenon-133 (20,000 Curies) over 500,000 acres of land, including the Washington State towns of Hanford, White Bluff and Richland as part of Project Green Run.

About two thousand square miles of land in Washington State was contaminated. The radioactive cloud spread throughout that state and went into Oregon. The purpose of this exercise was to practice what the military would do after a nuclear strike."



“Fallout from the nuclear tests—radioactive particles that were swept into the atmosphere and fell back down to the earth—found their way into crops and livestock, whose radioactivity humans took on when they consumed milk, meat and produce. Fallout takes many different chemical forms, one of which is iodine-131: an isotope, or version, of iodine that has the usual 53 protons but 78 neutrons instead of the standard 74. Inside the body, the thyroid gland will absorb iodine-131, which eventually decays to produce radiation that can cause thyroid cancer and other problems.”


“The Nuclear Arms Race was the direct result of America’s September 1945 plan to “blow up the Soviet Union”, formulated by the US War Department.
The Soviet Union tested its first nuclear bomb in 1949. Without the Manhattan Project and the War Department’s September 15, 1945 “World War III Blueprint”, the Arms Race would not have occurred.
The September 15, 1945 War Department set the stage for numerous plans to wage World War III against Russia and China:”



“The city leaders were very excited to have a nuclear test site on their doorstep. After all, the tourists showed unprecedented enthusiasm for what was happening in the desert. The first test, code-named Able, which was held Jan. 27, 1951, was celebrated with a musical parade attended by young girls dressed in costumes resembling a nuclear mushroom - says Fuhrer. - "Then a B-50 bomber dropped a nuclear bomb on the range whose power matched the power of both nuclear bombs the Americans dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.”

“Typically, over the next 12 years, tests were conducted every three weeks. Soon they became a real event. Tourists and locals drove to the desert, had picnics and watched the explosion from about 100 km away .”

“Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons,” McConnell said. “So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

NATO is a club of forced-voluntary buyers of American-made weapons. This is what NATO's lauded standards are, which Ukraine must meet before it is deemed worthy of an invitation to NATO: to meet these standards, its weapons must be mostly American-made. This is also the reason for all these small and seemingly futile wars, from Serbia to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria: they were demonstrations of the power of American weapons, with the additional goal of using up arms and ammunition so that the Pentagon and the rest of NATO would be forced to re-purchase them. The geopolitical reasons for these military conflicts are merely explanations of intentions in hindsight. For example, between 1964 and 1973, the U.S. dropped more than 2.5 million tons of bombs on Laos during 580,000 sorties, the equivalent of a B-52 bomber's full complement of ammunition every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years. What was the geopolitical background? No one even remembers if there ever was one. But these bombs were coming to the end of their shelf life, and they had to be used up to justify a new defense order to keep the money flowing in the right direction.
