Russia May Have Shot Down US Cargo Plane

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

An air cargo jet operating under US Transportation Command took off from Kyiv, Ukraine after delivering 200,000 pounds of Ammunition.  It then violated the air space of Belarus, violated Russian Air Space, and “disappeared” from flight tracking as it entered Kazakhstan.  At this time we are not certain that the plane was shot down. Nevertheless, this warns of increasing tensions. Once more, Biden threatened sanctions but did not commit US troops to defend Ukraine or NATO troops.

Russia sent two nuclear-capable strategic bombers on a training mission over Belarus. But we have also been informed that it may have placed some on standby in Syria. Additionally, Putin realizes that the time has never been better to test the United States because of a totally incompetent president and the VP has zero international experience. Russia on Thursday raised the stakes dramatically due to the belligerent attitude of the West over Ukraine and refusing to listen to the demands of Russia., A top Russian diplomat has outright warned that Russia will not rule out a Russian military deployment to Cuba and Venezuela if tensions with the United States continue to escalate.

Biden and his Build Back Better agenda promoted by Schwab, Gates, and Soros, has placed the entire world at risk of destabilization. Never before in the history of any civilization has there EVER been a deliberate effort to undermine the economy to recreate it into some green wonderland. Rome fell because of internal corruption and conflicts. But nobody deliberately tried to undermine the economy. That simply invited the barbarian invasions.

History will remember these three men for their actions and when the dust settles, they might be blamed for creating the collapse of the West.

Russia could have shot it down.
The US could have blown it up as a false flag event to blame Russia.
I doubt it was an equipment malfunction.

Remember, our Generals lost to 5th century goat herders.

I would caution against making too much out of losing to the goat herders. Winning was never the goal so I would not use Afghanistan as a measure of military prowess.

No, by all means let’s measure it by how many tranny’s we have in the Army, how many pregnant lesbian fighter pilots we have in the Air Force, how many warships we have in the Navy named after gay crusaders, or how many Marines have been taught that those gung-ho white men in the combat arms are all racists and potential insurrectionists.

We’re gonna get our asses kicked in a peer-on-peer war, and then it really won’t matter how you “measure military prowess” against goat herders, rice farmers, camel jockeys or whomever. And we will have earned that defeat because for the last 50 years, “winning [wars] was never the goal…”

That I won’t argue with, but I will point out that the military is in a state of transition. It is well on it’s way to being a rainbow warrior clusterfuck but is still full of bad ass white boys. I do agree that we will not fare well in a peer on peer or even near peer war. In a perfect world the patriot warriors would all have left the service before we jump into the wood chipper. I do hope we quit sending our best into the military. We need our warriors here at home.

My active duty son was running marathons 4-5 times a week in training for a special job in the USAF, and he had the Moderna vax last year. He was exposed to the China virus on several occasions, coworkers who got very ill, but never caught the virus. The 2d shot did make him a little ill but he was fine in a couple days. He was in NM with family over the holidays and began feeling ill, tested positive. He isolated for the 5 days but continued to run distance while sick – he knows that many commando school students become ill during training and considered it a good opportunity to test his endurance.
That being said, I will pass on the vaccines. I had a bad hacking cough in Feb-Mar 2020, when that shit was going around. I took Nyquil and ate some chicken soup and felt better after a few weeks. Last month I had that nasty cough again and a headache, repeated the same and was better in 3 days. Robitussin with honey tastes terrible but works great, and I am nearly 65 and 30lbs overweight.

Russia MAY have shot down a cargo plane? Dear me, this has got to be one of the better attempts at ginning up a false flag. What plane? Guarantee that had such an event occurred that the US media and all the little warmongering politicians would be all over the event. Pure and utter bullshit spewed from Armstrong.

Winning might not have been our end game, but I feel confident it was the Russian’s when they, too, slinked home with their tail between their legs after fighting the goat herders for a decade. Within a year, the USSR dissolved. Could that happen here, as well?

About the same time the Soviets had an entire armored division defeated in detail by the SADF at the battle of Cueto Cuenevale in Angola in 1986. This was the largest tank battle since WW2 at the time. They left 4,700 dead commie troops on the battlefield. I consider that a major death rattle of the USSR.

No, it was not “The Soviets” as in the Russian led Soviet Union – it was Cuban Communists leading Black Angolans (and yes they that got their asses kicked by South Africas military).

Also, it was mostly light armoured vehicles that were destroyed (300 – 400 as opposed to less than 100 tanks on both sides).

Granted, although “the Soviets” were not on the ground the Soviets did sell / provid a lot of the kit and a lot of the intel. However, although the soviets but did not have any combat “boots on the ground” they did have some trainers and advisors supporting the Cubans, one of which apprently took command of the Cubans to prevent a complete route, and may have caused enough of a rally to cause the South African defence force to halt their crushing attack.

The Cubans admit to loosing over 2000 men, so the presumtion is the rest were Angolan as even optimistic estimates only put the number of Soviet advisors / trainers in the mid double figure range.

The Soviets manned the armor and the Cubans and FAPLA did most of the dying. SADF captured 98, IIRC T-55’s and 450 trucks. There was also a squadron of MiG 21’s shot down. The Afrikaaners bombed the shit out of them with juiced up Mirage fighters courtesy of their Ees-ra-aylee allies.

(Bloomberg) — U.S. military aid to help Ukraine defend against a possible invasion by Russia began arriving on Friday night, according to the American Embassy in Kyiv. The embassy, in a Twitter post, said the material “includes close to 200,000 pounds of lethal aid, including ammunition for front line defenders of Ukraine.

OK. Would someone explain how an American plane,

“took off from Kyiv, Ukraine after delivering 200,000 pounds of Ammunition. It then violated the air space of Belarus, violated Russian Air Space, and “disappeared” from flight tracking as it entered Kazakhstan.”

When Kazakhstan is in the opposite direction of Belarus?

I figured one of our military cargo ships going to Odessa would have hit a mine by now. I’m sure the Russians have a warehouse of WWII era mines somewhere. They could blame Ukraine for laying them. That’s a false flag they could even get away with.

In 2018, when Ukraine were doing crazy things like sailing military boats loaded with explosives under the Crimea bridge, the Russians found several WW2 era Sea Mines floating in their military shipping lanes off the Russian Black Sea spy base near Novorossiysk

This one was towed in to Anapa a few miles awy from the base and caught on camera and reported (most explosions are not filmed):
https://www.rt.com/news/445659-anapa-russia-mine-explosion-wwii/

The Crimea bridge incident was covered up and memory holed after the Russians seized the Ukranian military boats and found a “device” of some sort on the Black Tug crewed by Ukrainan Intel officers. The conspiracy theories around that are crazy.

Wife is worried that her little boy may get wrapped up in this as they are training right now for open war rather than terrorists. I told her in no uncertain terms that her kid better watch his ass if they want to light the candle with Russia. 101st AB or not. The Russians aren’t going to give a shit about killing the woke ass trannies, women or other non-alpha males. The thug empire is about to get a dose of reality should they want to have go with a country that doesn’t put up with armies encroaching into the mother land.

Just a guess that we have technological superiority over the Russians but might have a problem projecting it that far from home. Then again we had tremendous technological superiority over the Taliban. Do we really want to risk it? I don’t think so.
