For Those Who Might Be Wondering Why We Might Be In Ukraine

The USA is fading fast.

Too bad.

Saturday night, a Ukraine drone was able to track an incoming Russian MOR ground-to-air anti-aircraft missile to it's point of origin; a well-camoflaged mobile Russian artilllery battery. Ukraine responded by sending a weapons drone to drop a single 'tank mine' right on top of the mobile launcher in retaliation.

Talk about 'Bang For Your Buck'!!

The single tank mine scored a direct hit on the battery. What happened next was the biggest single explosion of the entire Russian-Ukraine conflict. Evidently the launcher was surrounded by a stockpile of large thermobaric 'bunker buster' artillery shells, Thermobaric bombs heat the ambient air temperature above ground to 3000 degree Fahrenheit, incinerating the lungs of any poor sumbich close enough to take a breath of air, even under deep cover in trenches.

A recon drone a good 900 meters downrange captured the awesome explosion

Comrade RightGuide will be along later this morning to explain that this explosion likely means that Ukraine will likely be forced to surrender within the next few days, as he has done so for he past 18 months.

Drone wars.....just another illustration of how effective drone warfare is becoming

Ukrainian forces obliterate Russia’s newest artillery in precision strike​

ZSU Special Forces, operating with a “friendly artillery unit which adjusted its fire and accurately destroyed the enemy's target” destroyed a Russian 2S43 Malva self-propelled artillery system on March 3. The newest 152-mm artillery system, which Russia began producing in 2023, was discovered during an aerial reconnaissance in a hidden parking lot. The operation was coordinated by the SOF. The ammunition explosion also damaged an ATV used by the enemy to service the Malva.

The 2S43 Malva is an 8 wheeled 152mm SPG that only began to enter service in 2023. The first batch of Malva howitzers was reported to be delivered to the army. The second batch was reportedly delivered in June 2024. Deliveries reportedly continue since July 2024. There is no firm estimate on how many have been produced.

The Ufaorgsintez oil refinery in Russia’s Bashkortostan, which caught fire overnight on March 3, supplies raw materials for Russian explosives manufacturers,

The facility is also a key producer of phenol and acetone in Russia and accounts for 15% of the country’s high-pressure polyethylene production. Ufaorgsintez is a technological part of Bashneft-Novoil, an oil refinery with a design capacity exceeding 7 million tons of crude oil per year. However, the plant is not just another refinery, as much of its output is directed to explosives manufacturers. Analysts identified some of its key clients as the Cheboksary Production Association, the Biysk Oleum Plant, and the Sverdlov Plant. The Cheboksary plant specializes in explosives production, rubber-technical, and plastic products and is directly owned by the Russian state defense conglomerate Rostec. The Biysk facility is a branch of the Sverdlov Plant, which is Russia’s largest explosives producer.

An explosion and large-scale fire broke out at the plant early on March 3. Russian authorities deny an attack by Ukrainian drones. Explosions were reported in Ufa overnight, with local residents claiming a drone attack had caused a fire at the refinery. Russian emergency services later stated they had managed to extinguish the blaze. Authorities claimed that the fire broke out near an incineration furnace on the plant’s premises.

Europe plans historic military buildup

The European Union is preparing its most extensive defense initiative since the Cold War, with plans to allocate hundreds of billions of euros to strengthen security across the bloc. The ambitious strategy, proposed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, consists of a three-part plan to enhance military capabilities and financing mechanisms. “This is a once-in-a-generation moment that requires ‘urgent thinking’ and a strategic rearmament plan for Europe,” von der Leyen stated, emphasizing the need for immediate action.

The EU’s new security framework will take shape during an urgent summit of EU leaders on March 6. Following this, Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas will present a comprehensive defense industry strategy on March 19. Until then, negotiations will continue to determine how to expand the EU’s defense resources.

According to Bloomberg, von der Leyen’s proposed defense funding plan consists of three key elements. While the full implementation of these measures remains uncertain, they outline a major shift in EU defense spending:

• Relaxing Fiscal Rules for Defense Spending – EU member states would be allowed to increase defense budgets without these expenditures contributing to budget deficit calculations. Officials estimate this could unlock up to €160 billion in additional defense spending. The debate focuses on defining which defense expenditures qualify under this rule, how long it will be in effect, and its alignment with NATO’s 2% of GDP defense spending target.
• Creating a Joint EU Defense Fund – A new centralized EU defense funding tool would be established to support joint investments in air defense systems, long-range strike capabilities, missile production, drones, and military artificial intelligence. Some EU officials and member states advocate for common borrowing, but this remains a divisive issue within the bloc.
• Easing Investment Restrictions for the European Investment Bank (EIB) – Currently, the EIB can only finance dual-use goods. The proposed changes would enable the bank to fund purely military projects, opening new financial channels, including support from private banks.
• In addition to these measures, von der Leyen has suggested repurposing unspent EU funds, including those initially allocated for post-COVID-19 recovery efforts.

Russia’s BMP-2: a death trap for troops

Ukraine will receive over 5,000 LMM interceptor missiles and associated RapidRanger launchers worth £1.6 billion from the United Kingdom as part of the mega project LMM-RapidRanger. The LMM (Lightweight Multirole Missile) is a modern British interceptor missile specifically adapted to counter Shahed-type drones. This agreement is one of the largest in Ukraine’s history in the field of security and defense. The £1.6 billion project aims to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense by 2030 and is financed through a loan guaranteed by the UK Export Finance (UKEF) agency.

Apparently there has been a change of heart amongst British French and the Germany and this is great especially for America (we won't be pissing money and lives away) of them are going to give Zelensky anything he needs. Looks as the British will have boots on the ground as will the French and Germany.....
Last night it was revealed that Zelensky and the British had made a deal regarding the mining and mineral rights. all of this happened BEFORE the meeting in the oval office.... the little napoleon tried to fuck the American people that's why the little turd would not make the mineral deal. Zelensky just sold his people out to the British/monarchy making them slaves to the crown for the next 100 years.......told you ChloeTzang, this would transpire..... I'm sorry for your people......
I was also told the French over the last week or so have moved a number of their nuclear weapons into Ukraine to be used against the Russians, yes Zelensky now has nukes, not some jury rigged dirty bomb, real thermonuclear weapons

The Don knows this and had told the little napoleon "your gambling with world war three" to anyone listening the Don told the world Zelensky was in possession of nukes, French nukes.... the Russians know this as well my suggestion is anyone live in Paris might make a few preps looks to be the French might receive a sunburn
In the coming days before it's over with, western Europe will resemble the surface of the moon uninhabitable for a thousand years ...... sow the wind reap the whirlwind ........ gee it'll be just awful when the Russians nuke the royal palace erasing the British monarchy, just awful I say just awful......
One more item after stabbing America in the back over the mineral deal the British had the fucking audacity to demand the American back stop the new coalition.... fuk you Stamer and fuk nato... we want no part in your demise.... if you want a BMW ya might order it in the next few days

American's have not had any troop loses in Ukraine.

But you're correct about saving money. The EU is now making their own arms, fuck you to the American weapons manufacturers.Basically the last vestige of American dominance in manufacturing.

Britain was once the worlds dominant force, they too succumbed to their own idiocy, just like the US is today. You'll once look back at the good old days when American influence was a "thing". *chuckles*

So what, they seem to care more about not getting killed by Russians than saving a few bucks. The tax savings is an American thing.

 

[Buffalogurl]

But they may very well not be slaves for long after the Russians nuke western Europe into a hellscape
Oh and by boycotting us I discovered that the euro--trash sells stupid Americans North of 500 billion dollars worth of trade.... that'll soon be gone .... it'll force us Americans to build our own stuff, yes this will be painful for awhile but in the end we will be better, stronger and the filthy lazy trash in our country will either work or starve.....fuck'em...

What remains to be seen is how long a bankrupt Europe can sustain that level of spending while the euro goes into hyperinflation fuck'em.... they'd rather be a slave to the bankers on their knees begging for the crumbs

If Trump puts on those tariff's, the us economy will sink way faster than the EU's....*chuckles* best dig out that gold you brag about....

 

[Fuzzy1975]

fuck'em...

That kind of captures the view of the rest of the Western Nations towards Trump and us right now. The worlds a big place, 194 different governments, the us can't go it alone. But hey don't let me stop you guys from going down that road. Canada's "looking for a few good states".

Yes the world is a big place....... here's something to ponder about.... the Chinese, they will invade and conquer the continent of Africa and kill everyone whom is not Chinese. They desperately need resources, as demonstrated by the fishing fleet, they scoure the oceans with 5-10 mile trawling nets...... when Africa is pacified they will invade and conquer the Muslim world aquiring all of the oil production in the Middle East.....
When it comes to your country they will come form the west and clear cut the forest and scoure the land for resources all the while the eastern side of your country falls into sharia law as the Muslims take what the Chinese haven't erasing your culture and polluting your entire East cost..... enjoy your day.....

Really? They will? That's more like your imagination run wild. In all my time here I've never seen you write anything like that.

It's been a while since I've posted this.

Americans live in fear.....your whole society is based upon fear.

Grow a pair.

 

[DeluxAuto]

Trump and Zelensky need to set aside their pigheadedness and continue on with this rare mineral mining agreement.

You know nothing of this agreement and only want it because it can be perceived as a "win" for trump after the felon's embarrassing performance at the White House the other day.

Still clinging to the outdated notion that without America, errything falls apart.
Totally adorable.

On February 24th, Poland announced a 46th military aid package. It was the first new military aid package sent by Poland since the summer of 2024

Amongst other items, Poland has donated a new large batch of modernized T-72 tanks to Ukraine.The tanks have reached the frontlines.

I don't think this one went the way Elon Musk anticipated....

One can onluy hope there was a significant number of orcs in the vicinity at the time of the drone strike.
