10 Turkish Leopard 2 tanks destroyed in one battle in Syria by fucking Jihadis last summer

The Turkish Second Armored Brigade, which took part in the Al Bab operation, lost about 10 Leopard 2 tanks to the jihadists who were protecting the area. However, it is believed, according to unconfirmed information, that two Turkish Leopard-2A4 tanks were also captured in almost excellent condition and were destroyed by air raids later. The exact circumstances that led to the destruction of all the tanks are still unknown, but the Turkish tanks went largely unprotected by infantry and did not make the slightest effort to cover their sides against the town where the enemy forces were located, something that certainly indicates a serious tactical error. The specific mistakes in the handling of the Leopard-2A4 by the Turkish armored command can be seen in several videos published by the terrorists during the battle of Al-Bab.

The Most Egregious Mistake | ZeroHedge

"What then is this ‘Great Surprise’ – the almost completely unforeseen event of recent geo-politics that has so shaken U.S. expectations, and which takes the world to the precipice?

It is, in a word, Resilience.

The Resilience displayed by the Russian economy after the West had committed the entire weight of its financial resources to crushing Russia. The West bore down on Russia in every conceivable way – via financial, cultural and psychological war – and with real military war as the follow-through.

Yet, Russia has survived, and survived relatively handsomely. It is doing ‘okay’ – maybe better, even, than many Russia insiders were expecting. The ‘Anglo’ Intelligence services however, had assured EU leaders not to worry; it’s ‘slam dunk’; Putin cannot possibly survive. Rapid financial and political collapse, they promised, was certain under the tsunami of western sanctions."

'Anglo' intelligence services = congenital, compulsive and pathological liars.

World War III: Has It Begun? - Daily Reckoning

"So the case for fuzzy beginnings and endings of wars is clear. What’s the case for saying World War III has already begun based on the situation in Ukraine?

The first point is the number of nations directly involved. It’s nonsense to say that NATO members are cheering on Ukraine from the sidelines. Those countries are directly involved in supplying weapons, intelligence, money, ammunition and boots on the ground."

It was a lot larger than Russia.

And it did ultimately collapse from within.

Your splitting hairs. Russia was the center and power of the soviet union. After the fall of the USSR , Europe never allowed Russia to join in any of its raindeer games. She was excluded from Europe , an outcast. Instead of embracing her as a friend they used Russia as an enemy they didnt allow her into the EU. Russia was shunned. Russia never really had to depend on the West. She is doing fine even after the harshest econmic sanctions that have ever been used against her. the fact that Russia is still viable is testament to the fact that she doesnt need the west , In fact Putin said he is done with them . No more trade . so its a mutual breakup .

We are nowhere near the harshest sanctions. We're practically in kid glove territory.


Also, the USSR included a lot of countries that are no longer aligned with Russia. The loss of Ukraine alone is a major blow to Russia's economic self sufficiency.

I am sure they can *survive* on their own, but the cost will be very high, and it will eventually cripple them to where they can no longer threaten their neighbors.

If the EU and NATO wanted to get serious, they would cut *all* trade with Russia, *and* any country that does trade with them.

They wouldn't last 5 years under that kind of pressure.

If China and India, etc... were forced to choose between trade with Russia, and trade with Europe and the US and Canada, any guess which they'd pick?

I dont understand this push to get US and German armor into Ukraine. Crew training aside, who is going to fix them, let alone do basic maintenance? Where are their spare parts stores? Do they have cannon ammunition and how are they going to get it to the battlefield? Will they come with a coax and TC MG? What about parts and ammo for those? When the battery goes dead do they even have a NATO slave cable that can be adapted to their junk? There is zero support for some of the biggest maintenance intensive machines in the battlefield.

BOOOM!

DENAZIFICATION - LEGAL BASIS -
UN Charter Chapter-17

How Articles 106 & 107 of the UNITED NATIONS CHARTER LEGALIZE Putin's EVERY ACTION in Ukraine! and BEYOND!!!

Articles 106 and 107 of the UN Charter give Russia, as the legal successor of the victor of World War II, the right to take all measures, including military, against Germany, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, Croatia , Slovenia. , Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Ukraine for attempts to revive Nazism.

UN Secretary General António Guterres was surprised to learn from Putin that there is an article in the UN Charter that allows the conduct of a Russian special operation in Ukraine.
RUSSIA HAS THE RIGHT TO PUNISH NAZIS ANYWHERE (according to the UN Charter).

The Nuremberg Tribunal held all who fought against the United Nations and committed genocide criminally responsible. The greatest genocide was committed against the Soviet people. UN Charter, Articles 106 and 107, gives the victors of World War II-the USSR, the U.S., the U.K., and China-the right to take action against the countries that fought against them to prevent measures aimed at revising the results of World War II War.

In particular, the use of military force against these countries is allowed. To do this, you need only NOTIFY the other three winning countries, but not seek their consent. Russia, as the LEGAL successor to the USSR, can also use force against countries that want to overtake the Yalta-Potsdam system in Europe. Russia can stop attempts to revive Nazism in Germany, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, Croatia, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic, which was a protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia during the war.

No they really are the harshest ever used against Russia. Theres nothing left to sanction.

That aside, How well did the sactions work against The USSR,Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya?

Nato would cut all trade but theres a problem, they need gas, and they can get it elsewhere for much higher prices .

Yeah Im sure they would choose the larger market. but they dont have to choose.

Matter of fact, countries all over the world are looking to drop the dollar as it inflates into dogshit. And a lot of countries are learniing that the US goverment cant be trusted and would drop bombs on them if they didnt follow orders . the American empire is slowly crumbling

We dont even need to put NATO forces in Ukraine. This was done by the west with sole intention of collaspeing Russia over time and I dont think it will work , and even if it does what does the dollar look like after supporting this war for 3 years? And they will blame Russia .

Its a bad fucking joke.

I guess they dont have to worry about that stuff for a while.

WASHINGTON — Ukraine must wait months to receive the 31 M1 Abrams tanks promised by the US because the Pentagon does not have enough of the critical vehicles in its own stockpile to send now, spokeswoman Sabrina Singh confirmed Thursday.

While the White House has said Ukrainians need the more advanced capabilities to gear up for a fresh Russian offensive expected this spring, the US tanks won’t roll into eastern Europe until the predicted push is a distant memory.

“We just don’t have these tanks available in excess in our US stocks, which is why it is going to take months to transfer these M1A2 Abrams to Ukraine,” Singh said, referencing the specific newer version of the tank the US will send.

White House officials warned Wednesday it could take up to a year before Kyiv receives the tanks that President Biden publicly pledged because they would be purchased new with Congressionally approved funds as part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.

On Jan. 19, Singh had said, “it just doesn’t make sense to provide [M1s] to the Ukrainians at this moment” when asked about the prospective package. The spokesperson pointed at the time to the US tank’s logistical challenges, as its gas turbine engine requires jet fuel — unlike the diesel engine used by the Leopard and Challenger.

The US has thousands of Abrams parked on the pavement because we build new ones whether we want them or not.

But, those are not "export spec" and we do not want to let anyone else get their hands on them.

This article, this bit of news makes no sense at all. I say, it is filled with lies. I have a good friend at Fort Riley Kansas that says he and his team have been working on tanks and has already shipped some that are destined for Europe. he was told by his bosses that these particular tanks are the ones heading to the Ukraine. They updated pieces and parts, did all of the needed maintenance on the tanks and all have fresh paint applied.

More lies, from somewhere are being told.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense they would telegraph that information if it was true. Tanks will be there soon or maybe already there. I am sure the Russians don't take anything coming from the West at face value.

This is probably for our domestic consumption. To minimize escalation that is going on.

Both articles address larger problems than Ukraine, although the "Ukraine problem" is, IMHO, a manifestation of the moral, financial and spiritual collapse of Western civilization.

We've allowed the shitweasel "elites" and their mouthpieces to lead us into sacrificing ourselves and/or our children as cannon fodder for endless wars based on total bullshit.

Escobar: The 'Doomsday Clock' Is Speeding Up | ZeroHedge

"Oil price in this case would rise to possibly thousands of dollars a barrel according to Goldman Sachs oil derivative experts – and that would crash the entire world economy.

This is arguably the foremost NATO Achilles Heel. Almost without firing a shot a Russia-Iran alliance could smash NATO to bits and bring down assorted EU governments as socio-economic chaos runs rampant across the collective West.

Meanwhile, to quote Dylan, darkness keeps dawning at the break of noon. Straussian neo-con and neoliberal-con psychos will keep pushing the Doomsday Clock closer and closer to midnight."
