Vanishing Foreign Weapons

https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/08/ukraine-a-frontline-report-vanishing-foreign-weapons.html 


Some people ask why I read the New York Times and other such outlets of mostly 'western' propaganda. One obvious reason is to "know your enemy", to find out what the propaganda wants us to think. 

All those thousands of Stingers, Javelins and other man-portable weapons are of huge interest to various nefarious actors. The weapons that vanish in Ukraine to go somewhere will most likely reach places where they can and will be used against 'western' forces or interests.

Those who support the weapon transfers will say that the loss of some share of them does not matter in the big picture. Tell that to those who will die from them.

As Glenn Diesen has masterfully demonstrated in his latest book, Russophobia, the collective west is viscerally impervious to admitting any social, cultural, historical merits by Russia.

They have already catapulted themselves into the irrationality stratosphere: the grinding down and de facto demilitarization of the imperial proxy army in Ukraine is driving the Empire’s handlers and its vassals literally nuts.

But the Global South should never lose sight of the ‘Empire business.’ That industry excels in producing chaos and plunder, always supported by extortion, bribery of local elites, and assassinations on the cheap. Every trick in the Divide and Rule book should be expected at any moment. Never underestimate a bitter, wounded, deeply humiliated, declining Empire.

Fasten your seat belts for more of this tense dynamic for the remainder of the decade

People, you don’t invest $800 billion in your military if your intent is not to use the machinery! (More than the next 9 countries COMBINED!!). Now you know the true motivation of a nation that claims to be the purveyor of peace! #US

It's so funny how most US gov't officials have interns who painstakingly pore over and draft their tweets that can appeal to their base while at the same time being as inoffensive as possible, and Chinese gov't officials just tweet out a meme that's like "Bush did 9/11" lmao
