Arming Ukraine

Great old Lavrov and his cargo ships.
Unless he's straight-up lying, which doesn't even make sense—what would he even gain from lying about this? 🤷
Btw, it's pretty hilarious how he starts the video by throwing international treaties in our faces. 🤣

Given that the Ukrainian ports are currently mined, blockaded, or under occupation, one has to wonder about the logistics of how these cargo vessels actually reach their destination.

Taking Lavrov at face value is...

The Americans haven't sent any weapons to Ukraine in almost 3 weeks and have delivered only one fifth of what they promised.

They're honestly pretty gross; you can practically see them praying to God that Ukraine falls as fast as possible.

So, here’s something that’ll really get your blood pumping. Beyond the fact that Germany is basically funneling billions over to Russia, since back in 2014, they—along with a handful of other absolute idiots across Europe (and let me tell you, this continent is crawling with them)—have actually been shipping weapons directly to the Russians. Yeah, you heard me right. They're straight-up ignoring the embargoes.

I caught this statement from the German side, and honestly, it looks like the situation within the US Armed Forces is so pathetic that they basically have nothing left to send to Ukraine without leaving themselves totally naked.🤦
It's pretty obvious they took a few pointers from Russia on how to "manage" military inventory.

But do you really think those heavy military transports carrying the most expensive, high-tech gear are actually going there?
I'm pretty sure they just kill the transponders and touch down at some tiny, obscure airfields all over Romania, Slovakia, Canada, and Poland... maybe they even cross right into Ukraine directly...

It’s not a coincidence that their transponders are off—that's the message right there.

They land in Buffalo quite often since it’s convenient being so close, plus Poland is definitely the most willing to provide direct support.

It appears they have also taken lessons from the Russians on how to "manage" their military inventory.

Back in 2018, out of America's 128 F-35 jets, only 39 were actually capable of taking flight. Due to coolant leaks affecting the sensors, only 10 of those 39 aircraft had functioning defense systems, and they only carried missiles for four of them.

I sincerely hope they have recovered since then.

It is deeply concerning to note that only 4 of America's 128 F-35 jets are currently combat ready.

The US Air Force has only four combat-ready F-35 jets regarding this.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the bottom line is that Germany needs to stop actively sabotaging Ukraine.

None of them are actually looking for help, and honestly, nobody truly believes they’re on Ukraine's side anyway.

Most of this military aid isn't even moving through the official border crossings anymore; they've built entirely new supply routes to handle it. Drivers and all personnel are strictly forbidden from carrying cell phones or any kind of electronic gear. Even official photographers have to keep geolocation turned off on their cameras—I’m talking about the guys documenting the convoys, not just random trucks. Before anything gets posted online, intelligence services vet every single shot, which basically makes the footage useless because you can't spot a single house or landmark in them.

Plus, the locations are being shifted around daily.
Just tell me how Russia is supposed to intercept this at a specific spot if we're talking, say, 10 trucks in a row.

And they’re utilizing the rail lines to their full advantage, too.😉

Regarding this...
I guess you have to wonder what kind of state the Russian jets are in, considering they have about seven times as many as the Americans, and the Russian military budget is only just a little bit higher...

An American jet won't fly if its scheduled maintenance is overdue by just five days and an hour instead of a flat five—those numbers are clearly exaggerated, obviously. A Russian one? It'll fly regardless...

Another round of aid hitting the table

United Kingdom - 6,000 anti-tank projectiles
Sweden - 5,000 anti-tank projectiles, plus some AT4s
Germany - 2,000 anti-tank projectiles

In my estimation, the logistics have shifted into a different gear entirely.

That’s 13,000 anti-tank rounds—not even counting what they already have in stock.
Why on earth do they need that many when Russia doesn't even have that many tanks left?

Look, they're probably just wiping out every single armored vehicle in sight. Plus, you have to wonder how many shots it actually takes to land a hit—I highly doubt it's a perfect 1:1 ratio.

For crying out loud, if we follow that ridiculous logic, they wouldn't need more than 150,000 rounds of ammunition total!🤔

Nihil said:They’ve decided to pull that classic Russian war tactic of playing the victim, acting all high and mighty with the "you don't have enough... what can we possibly send?" routine. Now they're pivoting to claim you guys don't have nearly as many tanks as they have missiles—missiles they have in such massive quantities that they're wasting them just hitting supply trucks with anti-tank rounds. 😬

Oh yeah, why don't you just go ahead and hop in one of those Kamaz supply trucks carrying food for the troops? You know, the ones where the truck and its cargo are worth maybe ten grand, but they'll be raining down a rocket on you worth $150,000. 🤔

There are plenty of reasons for a Russian soldier to stop and think twice.
Best,

Zelensky at the NATO summit—we’re looking for unlimited support
Americans and the public—anti-ship missiles for Ukraine?
