There is little doubt that NATO and the United States want war. I believe this insanity is being driven by the idea that they MUST destroy the Russian economy because it is 50% based on fossil fuels. The people writing the cue cards for Biden are determined to create World War III. Russia has warned that if the US goes ahead and sends Patriot Missiles to Ukraine, they warned that will lead to ‘unpredictable consequences’ and the US knows this will unleash widespread war.
Ukraine is NOT TO BE TRUSTED. They have killed their own people just to keep trying to create World War III where they want Russia utterly annihilated. I cannot stress this more. I have warned that the hatred in this region will engulf the world as it did when the Serbs assassinated the heir to the throne of Austria in 1914. There is NO solution for peace as long as NATO and the US keep supplying arms to Ukraine and instructing them NEVER to negotiate peace.
NATO is doubling its forces in some countries and uses the propaganda that they need to stop Russia’s “Imperistic” advance. The very FIRST Ukrainian coins are those issued by Nazi Germany. They joined the Natiz movement and supported the ethnic cleansing of Jews, Polish, and Russians. Never before was Ukraine a country and the Donbas has historically been occupied by Russians and both Kruschev grew up there as well as Brezhnev.
The very fact that there are NO coins ever issued by Ukraine demonstrates what I have been saying – it was never a country and now we are to engulf the entire world in destruction for the most corrupt country in Europe. There is another agenda here and it is not more truthful than the Weapons of Mass Destruction that Iraq never had.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

Putin has said a lot of things…..I also think he understands his escalation is DC’s excuse to do the same…..just one well placed hypersonic…….no nuke needed!
You mean just one Wunderwaffe?
Ukraine and Zewlensky do not care so much about destroying Russia, as they do about maintaining the grift gravy train from DC. Most in DC want exactly the same, to keep the flow (or kick-back-flow) coming right into their pockets. They would be happy if this went on forever.
Nukes have been set up south of Moscow and are pointed west. Russia is talking about whether to nuke London or Washington first.
Meanwhile the west is more worried about pronouns, mutilating children and calling people a bigot who don’t like that grown men in drag expose their genitals to kids in the hope they’ll get to sodomize them.
I wish there was a fast way to bring up all our officials on some kind of charges or replace them. The whole world is trying to get to our southern border so they can be welcomed into the U.S. ILLEGALLY.

Well the good news is, we are separated by a vast body of water, so we have nothing at all to worry about.
Especially as hypersonic missiles are unable to fly over vast bodies of water!
If they actually make it into the Ukraine and get set up, they’ll be dead within 3 hours of the radar being activated. After they shoot down a couple of $20k drones running on lawn mower engines with $1million missiles, they’ll be pulverized with anti-radiation missiles.
Since the Patriot is the first line of the US air defense, I am sure Putin is eager to capture one of these and reverse engineer it to find it’s vulnerabilities and weaknesses. I am sure China is also very interested in this information.
Russia has been fighting this war with obsolete technology for a reason…. a reason that seems to be lost on the west.
You really believe there is something in them the Russians are eager to reverse engineer, do you?
Considering the displayed performance of Patriots, I really doubt the Russians are all that interested.
Weakness? The people who lie about it actually working as intended and those that believe them.
The only use they could really be is as an example of “how not to”.
The Patriots will not last long if delivered. They are just great big targets.
It is not about fossil fuel. It is about the death of the $ and nothing else. WAKE THE HELL UP! Our fake money is on life support and only by destroying any nation that refuses to accept the $ will the US continue to rule the world. PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS PEOPLE! Putin is the new leader of the free world. Your president Biden is a piece of evil installed shit! FACT!!!
Couple quick things about Patriot;
— a complete Patriot battery costs about $1 Billion
— it takes 90 (!!!) highly skilled soldiers to operate
— EACH missile costs $3 MILLION dollars.
— Each system consists of 8 launch vehicles, 4 missiles per vehicle. So, a full volley launch would cost just shy of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS in ammo.
— It is almost completely ineffective against low flying drones … drones which cost about $10k each. A hundred drones (one million dollars) would overwhelm this billion dollar system. The Patriot has filed miserably against drones in the Yemen war.
— It is claimed (by Israel, of all nations) that the Patriot did not shoot down one single SCUD of the 40 or so launched by Iraq.
— The Patriot System is 40 fucking year old technology!!

BUT HERE IS THE BIGGIE
The Patriot is NOT a shoot & skoot. It is not at all very mobile AND fast.
BUT THE RADAR IT USES MAKES IT A SITTING DUCK
The Patriot battery uses a phased array radar. Here’s the problem; they are immediately visible from satellites with Synthetic Aperture Radar**. Russia has Kondor Satellites which are equipped to carry either synthetic aperture radar or electro-optical imaging payloads.
[**C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) operates at a center frequency of 5.405 GHz, which conveniently sits within the range of the military frequency used for land, airborne, and naval radar systems (5.250-5.850 GHz)—including the AN/MPQ-53/65 phased array radars that form the backbone of a Patriot battery’s command and control system.]
Turn on your radar … and die! Sure seems to me that Rooskies destroying Patriot Systems will be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Yup.
The USA has very little that is “peer capable” defensive tech. Plenty of good stuff for dominating a significantly weaker opponent, very little that can go toe to toe with a near equal.
The Ukie war is showing exactly how weak the Western arms really are.
