On January 20th, the great American military and geostrategic analyst Brian Berletic, who has had a stunningly high percentage of his predictions turning out to have been 100% accurate, did a youtube at his “The New Atlas” Website, headlining “US, Allies Send More Weapons to Ukraine in Absence of Real Solution”, and it had been sparked by Berletic’s advance knowledge that America and its allies would probably decide to send to Ukraine some of the German-manufactured Leopard tanks and some of the U.S.-manufactured Abrams tanks. Near the end of his video, at 25:24 in it, he summarized what the prior portion had already documented to be the case: that these tanks will be useless to turning the tide of this war away from a Russian victory, and into a U.S.-and-allied victory.
Then, on January 25th, came the announcements that America, Germany, and Poland, had, in fact, decided to do this (send those tanks to Ukraine), and the BBC reported that, “Germans endured months of political debate about concerns that sending tanks would escalate the conflict and make Nato a direct party to the war with Russia.” The reason why Germany’s leaders ultimately decided to go along with these supplies to Ukraine isn’t that they had concluded that doing so wouldn’t “escalate the conflict and make Nato a direct party to the war with Russia” (and that’s oblique terminology for “globalize the war in Ukraine and turn it into a very hot WW III between NATO (the U.S.) and Russia”) but was instead that “The US and Germany had resisted internal and external pressure to send their tanks to Ukraine for some time.” The BBC, being an extension of Britain’s own military contractors — such as the world’s 7th-largest weapons-manufacturer, BAE Systems — many of which had been lobbying heavily for this decision, refused to define, or to say anything about, what stood behind that amorphous phrase “external pressure”; and, so, as usual, what was causing what was happening here was being ignored; only the result was being reported. Its cause (source) was banned from being even discussed in the ‘news’-media. However, on Tuesday, January 24th, Politico bannered “U.S. closer to approving ‘significant number’ of Abrams tanks to Ukraine”, and reported that, “On Tuesday, shortly after news broke of the possible U.S. move, POLITICO reported that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also plans to announce that German Leopards are heading to Ukraine. Last week, Scholz told U.S. lawmakers [in Switzerland, at the pro-imperialist WEF in Davos, where many billionaires and U.S.-and-allied Governments meet privately each year and which has increasingly come to replace the United Nations that the anti-imperialist FDR had initiated to serve as the basis for international laws, and for these imperialists to come to replace those international laws, by imposing America’s “rules-based international order”] that Berlin would approve the transfer only if the U.S. donated its own tanks first.” But, still, the key individuals who stood behind this supposedly crucial international agreement, to possibly start what could quickly become a nuclear World War Three, wasn’t, at all, being indicated; it was, instead, hidden, and that question wasn’t mentioned, at all — as-if it didn’t ‘really’ matter who, or how, and why, this decision to “escalate the conflict and make Nato a direct party to the war with Russia” had been made — what had caused it to be made.
Sending these additional armaments to Ukraine runs exactly opposite to public opinion in at least the imperial country itself.
The news-report on January 18th by the American polling organization Quinnipiac was headlined “Americans On Biden’s Handling Of Classified Documents: Inappropriate & Serious, But Shouldn’t Face Charges, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Biden Handling Of The Mexican Border Hits Record Low While Majority Back His New Immigration Plan”. Buried deep in it was “U.S. AID TO UKRAINE”, reporting that
As Russia’s war against Ukraine approaches its one-year mark, 33 percent of Americans think the United States is doing too much to help Ukraine, 21 percent think the U.S. is doing too little, and 38 percent think the U.S. is doing about the right amount to help Ukraine. This compares to a Quinnipiac University poll on February 28, 2022 after the war started, when 7 percent of Americans thought the U.S. was doing too much to help Ukraine, 45 percent thought the U.S. was doing too little, and 37 percent thought the U.S. was doing about the right amount to help Ukraine.
Buried yet deeper in it was “16. In your opinion, what is the most urgent issue facing the country today: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, COVID-19, inflation, climate change, health care, racial inequality, immigration, election laws, abortion, gun violence, or crime?”
Here were the findings on that:
#1. Inflation 35%; #2. Immigration 10%; #3. Gun violence 8%; #4. Climate change 7%; #5. Something else than these named items 7%; #6. Health care 6%; #7. Crime 6%; #8. Election laws 5%; #9. Racial inequality 4%; #10. Abortion 4%; #11. DK/NA or Don’t know or not applicable 3%; #12. Russia/Ukraine 3%; #13. Covid-19 1%.
So: not only did more Americans want “U.S. AID TO UKRAINE” to be decreased than wanted it to be increased, and not only did Americans rank the issue itself as being # 12 out of 13 options for the U.S. Government to be focusing on, but the U.S. Government is and has been focusing on it more than on any other, and that focus and those expenditures are now soaring — despite what the public wants. This is normal, not unusual in America, because its Government is perhaps the most corrupt on the planet.. And there is lots of other evidence that it is profoundly corrupt and does not represent the American public. Furthermore, new evidence supporting this is coming in all the time. In fact: a higher percentage of Americans are living in prisons than is the case in any other nation on the planet. Is that consistent with America’s being a democracy?
So: Why is America’s NATO driving its members to shovel yet more weaponry into Ukraine? Is it because these countries are “democracies”? Brian Berletic has a different answer — and, unlike the propagandized one, it recognizes that that is a pure scam excuse (like the invasion and occupation of Iraq used in 2003). The “MIC” Military-Industrial Complex (and that’s controlled by the leading stockholders in the top-100 ‘Defense’ firms) is behind it. NATO is the trade-organization for those international corporations, and it (especially in the U.S. and UK) runs their Governments. That’s why this is being done.
Now that Ukraine’s government will be receiving those tanks, Ukraine is expecting ultimately to receive American jet fighters and missiles that will enable Ukraine to invade Russia at least as far as Moscow — which is only 300 miles away from Ukraine. On the afternoon of January 25th, Reuters headlined “Ukraine sets sights on fighter jets after securing tank supplies”, and reported that Yuriy Sak, who advises Ukraine’s Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, told Reuters, “They didn’t want to give us heavy artillery, then they did. They didn’t want to give us Himars systems, then they did. They didn’t want to give us tanks, now they’re giving us tanks. Apart from nuclear weapons, there is nothing left that we will not get.” If they get nuclear weapons, those will certainly be operated by Americans. And, of course, that has been the U.S. goal ever since Obama started by no later than June of 2011 to plan his coup to take Ukraine.
Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

It’s all just show. Unless they plan on sending 100x this amount along with an air force… If this deal is as reported (unlikely the numbers are truthful) They’ll boost the capability of a select few units after a few weeks and that capability will be lost in a few days.
YA ESTAN HABLANDO DE UNA FUERZA AEREA ELITE MERCENARIA DE LA CIA
The North American Terror Organ, that flaccid, disea$€d appendage hanging from the drug-addled Golem that sought to wound and kill the mighty Russian Bear, is now throwing the last of its scrap metal on the dumpster fire that is fast evaporating rump Ukrapland. It is such pleasure to see the daily destruction of the evil angloZionaZi empire of shit and the bite too big to swallow for the Zombie in BrUSsels and Washing town proves the undoing of the beast that humanity can no longer afford to tolerate. As the IOU fiat filth Saudi Mercan dollah and gimp basturd €urodollah clogging the Wall St PonZi shitter implodes, the collapse of all things “West” is guaranteed. Our grandchildren will look back on the sacrifice made yet again by Mother Russia against the sickness of the angloZionaZi cabal of demons and never allow the jackal to rise from the ashes ever again.
Meanwhile Odessa awaits liberation Z
I wish I could give this post 100 votes.
People running this pro Rooskie site can easily do it. 😂
Ah your words spread like butter :) Slava Russiya
And who is gon a operate those metal coffins? It will be 30 days to learn a ukrainian farmer to operate it . Al that time they have to be in a storrage. Offers a bonus to who can give the coordinates and …..kaboooom…. bey bey. Russian satelites can spot them crossing the border, and again…..kabooom…bey bey yankee instruktor.
“will be 30 days to learn a ukrainian farmer to operate it” rather 3 years , there will be no more Ukraine , that’s all in vain
Operate? Hahaha. Most important is maintenance. While the “supporters”/NATO is displaying half-assed willingness to provide some tools to “aid” the faggot Ukrainian Zelensky it’s only getting more unmanageable. Those tools consist of a variety of hardware/vehicles that were produced in different countries and have different maintenance/parts needs… a logistical impossibility.
In short, to properly operate the five battalion-equivalents of infantry fighting vehicles being supplied by their NATO partners, Ukraine will need to train its maintenance troops on four completely different systems, each with its own unique set of problems and separate logistical/spare part support requirements.
Ukrajinu treba udariti nuklearno po najvećoj koncentraciji vojske sa bombom ograničene snage,dati do znanja tim đavoljim slugama sa zapada da je igra gotova.
Da li bi ti bacio nuklearnu bombu u tvoje dvoriste jer u njemu gomila bandita?
The American Jews and their good friend zelensky have destroyed Ukraine and are responsible for all the loss of live in this conflict
Just watched a video on western independent media outlet where the German minister of defence has said that Germany is now fighting a war against Russia! This bitch needs to be shot dead. Start targeting Germany their military bases top politicians
So the present German government has basically destroyed itself.
Russia won’t tolerate doing business with an administration that has claimed to be at war with them.
You have to understand the social implications of all this, Russia does not need to do anything to Germany, Germany has committed suicide.
It’s long-form suicide, they decommissioned their nuclear power plants, they’re perpetually tipping on the verge of race riots. Germany is going to collapse, don’t worry about Germany, they’re fucked.
I see it the same way. However Germany is being systematically destroyed since at least 20-30 years. So if they send now Leopards or doesn’t send , makes no difference. They go straightwards to irrelevance.
The problem with most countries in Europe and north America is that they all need to get rid of white political men and have them replaced with people who are easily influenceable (women) or non white without any experience. In other words, they are all screwed thanks to the woke movement.
Level Berlin. Bolton and his neocon friends will shit their pants , be eager to sit down and talk .
As the war matures, the western politicians, like Ursula, Borrell, Baerbock and that other clown Stoltenberg become more rapid. It would be for greater good of humanity that they are eliminated, oh add also to the list Nuland, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Biden’s, Soros, Rockefellers, MIC lobbyist, Pentagon, Washington DC, Pharmaceuticals, Bill Gates, Zuckerman, Rothchild’s, Netanyahu et’al.
People in panic mode make big mistakes. But is one thing when you make a mistake in the bar around the corner and the opponent leaves you just with a bloody nose. And it’s another thing when your opponent has hypersonic nukes which can’t be intercept by your AD.
Panic? The only panicking and screaming are russian journalists! Bomb Berlin, burn Washington and London! Are you nuts in RT? Russia is back in cold war time – mentally and physically and economically. Back to Lada cars and Rubin TVs… congrats
So you want a bomb on Berlin and Washington and London to be burnt ? It will sure happen if Russia loses its existential war. Russia is not USSR, you moron. You should hope for you and your family’s sake Russia gets what it need.
Ukraine getting F-16s would be a sad joke, it would be an excuse for Russia to roll out their S400s.
The nuclear red line would be stealth technology being used against Russia, and that’s never going to happen. an F-16 isn’t going to be any more useful than a MIG.
Ukraine has lost Donbass and nothing is going to take it back now, the west wanted to use Ukraine as a way to do political harm to Russia, and now Russia is being perceived as heroic to their country and their ethnic countrymen in the east of Ukraine.
So it’s all a pointless waste and now the west will have no example of resistance to crush in the east, and dissent will rise in western nations as their governments become more and more corrupt and draconian against their own people.
Russia will have respite while the U.S is engulfed in civil war.
Russia is not only that but the international EMBLEM of fight against the globalist reseting satanist world and the existential resistance HERO for billion of humans across the world. For me too.
Not exactly what you said but close. Germany is now punished for supporting russia for decades. They know it. German tanks are going to burn, yes but together with russian – Nato will replace them with American and Korean equipment… Germany is now removed from leading European country position – simply like that… BTW russia is finished – back to cold war times…
USA-NATO lover or madness and lies, “WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION”.
You guys repeated deafening claims that Russia would wrap up the Ukraine operation in a matter of days or weeks. It’s not 11 months and no sign of victory. Now you are claiming Russia will be victorious over the U.S. and Ukraine.
Let me tell you something. I know you’re gonna hate it. But mark these words now: UKRAINE IS THE TRIGGER THAT DISINTEGRATES RUSSIA.
I reached this conclusion based on my knowledge of Islamic prophecies. This is because the Ukraine war is happening while the Syrian war hasen’t ended. Alliances have formed between Russian and Iranian forces. The Europeans are ganging up on Russia. The U.S. is deploying more and more forces to Europe (closer to the battlefield).
Islamic prophecies say about the Sufyani in Syria who will be attacked by the Khorasani of Iran.
But Russia will survive USA that’s for sure.
Russia will ally with Iran but they’ll be defeated by an alliance of the Sunni Muslim world and Europe. Then there’ll be a fight between Europe and the Muslims and Muslims will gain victory.
In the fight between Europe and Muslims, Muslims will win in the beginning but not in the end.
Iran will make an axis with Turkey and many other peoples. This is called the Gog Magog alliance of Ezekiel 38. The Arab alliance against Israel is the Psalm 83 alliance.
Russia is not fighting only against nazi-Ukraine. The nazi.fascist ukaines are the soliders of USA-NATO. Russia is fighting against 32 nations !! and Russia will defeat them, as it did with Germany and Japan.
at least you can count the months correctly now
“January 26. /LPR/. At least two Colombian nationals who earlier had arrived in Ukraine as mercenaries to fight on the side of the Kiev regime have been eliminated in combat, Colombia’s Foreign Ministry reported on Wednesday.
The two Colombian citizens had been in Ukraine since December and belonged to the 49th Infantry Battalion of the Ukrainian army. According to information from this battalion, the citizens died in combat on January 18, the ministry’s statement said. It is noted that the repatriation of their bodies is currently underway.” So, asta la vista bastardos
the escalations will probably be thus:
tanks (achieve some small advances before being countered and the pictures will be humiliating for NATO)
ATACMS (achieve some successful strikes for a while before they are countered)
F-16s (all get shot down, no effect on the front line, and the US is humiliated)
Direct NATO intervention (achieves small successes before taking massive casualties, US loses 50,000 troops trying to breach dense defenses, and a similar number become prisoners)
US threatens to use nuclear weapons (most countries leave NATO, which then collapses)
US withdraws all its forces from Europe
Hope the Europeans will not allow them to leave and will slaughter each US trooper caught on ground, in conjunction with our Russian allies.
“Direct NATO intervention” , very unprobable,
Its getting messy in the NATO pig stye. Some are vomiting, others are defecating and some are eating it all up
Berlin’s tanks will arrive in early April. Polish (NATO) soldiers are already fighting in Ukrainian uniforms; mercenary reinforcements from all western countries are expected to arrive, wagging their tails held on Biden’s leash. It is likely that Washington wants to contain Russian troops on the eastern bank of the Dnepr, preventing Kiev from losing Odessa. The Western imperialist countries (morally and economically degenerate) are ready to run on the razor’s edge.
Another move by Nato/USA showing and proving that their number one goal is to escalate the war in Europe. The USA is on a decline and their only way to retain their world status is by having Russia and China destroyed. That being said, they cannot attack them on their own as they will risk being destroyed. A war without NATO would bring that war to USA’s shores and that will mean the end of America/terrorists as we know it. Without a full on war in Europe and Asia, the U.S. is done. They will keep on losing power while China and Russia will lead the world.
EN BREVE LOS SU 25 RUSOS SE VAN A DAR UN GRAN FESTIN DE ABRAMS LEOPARDOS Y JEFES !!!!
Meanwhile Russia just released the video with the Leon and Abra-kadabra shit killer: an autonomous low profile all terrain robot called MARKER who can detect and fire a range of weapons, mostly ATGM’s, into bandera tanks. ”Rogozin said:
“The combat version of the Marker robot has an electronic catalog in the control system with images of targets both in the visible range and in the infrared. Accordingly, the robot can automatically determine the enemy’s equipment.
For example, as soon as deliveries of Abrams and Leopard tanks to the Ukrainian troops begin, Marker will receive an appropriate electronic image and will be able to automatically detect and hit American and German tanks with ATGMs. So, LONG LIVE the MARKER !!!! Happy Birthday to new denazificator ! Waiting for the first live test and and first imperial north atlantic terrorist scrap metal

After the tanks willcome the planes, until you Russia retreats.
The Ukrainian eastern front is about to give way and collapse. These moves are of desperation and will prove to be in vain .
