Ukraine War

[DB008]

That didn't take long....

Users from Ukraine have posted several American made FGM-148 Javelins for sale on the Dark Web Marketplace, Thief Marketplace. The posting was made less than three hours ago and the seller advertised shipping available from Ukraine, specifically Kyiv. The seller is charging 30,000 USD for what seems to be just the tube. Unseen is the command Launch Unit, and it is unclear if there is a missile in the tube. A full ensemble of the Javelin usually goes for 206K USD, with the Command Launch Unit valued at around 120K USD and each missile at about 80K USD, so this posting is a steal.​

​

The seller, @weapon_ukraine_big_sale also has several other American weapons systems ranging from Stinger MANPADS, Phoenix Ghost Drones, and smalls arms and ammunition. The United States has reportedly sent 5,500 Javelin tubes to Ukraine, and an unspecified number of command launch units which are needed for firing. The United States has reportedly sent 1/3 of its Javelin inventory to Ukraine in order to combat Russian tanks and other ground vehicles since the February 24th invasion.​

Ukraine anger as Macron says 'Don't humiliate Russia'​

The French aren't even at war and already surrendering!

There's some truth to it. Why would you want to back Putin into a corner?

Always been like that and probably will be. Western Europe never wanted to get their hands dirty while the East fight for Europa.

Mongols, Ottomans... all the dirtiest and bloodiest battles were fought on the east by the real defenders of Europe

My contacts in Eastern Ukraine are telling me via Telegram that Russian artillery are just firing at will and getting the hell further east once they've used up their munition to satisfy their Commanders.

They are even using Russian TOS-1 thermobaric MLRS at ranges of 1 km and then retreating. A sure way of Ukraine getting some expensive gear or destroying same gear.

Panic amongst the Russians.

If and when the Ukrianians get the promised HIMARS they will be able to light up Russian artillery at will. The ass kicking will start

HIMARS

The big issue for the U.S, is weapons technology being captured, they wont donate anything that could give Russia intellectual property that they don't already have IMO.

That's when Putin will unleash nuclear weapons. Russia warned a couple of week's ago that it would sink England (if necessary).

Think the fine line is, if Ukrainians will strike Russian land over the border then yes it gets very hot. From my little research into this USA made it part of the deal to only strike targets within the borders of Ukraine against the aggressor. Perhaps why Biden has back flipped twice now on this deal. This is why I said If and when, not too sure if it goes ahead

Putin also thought that Ukraine would fall in a few days. That was 102 days ago

If you believe that, you believe in Santa Claus.

Fair enough mate as noted your reply on calendar to re-visit later.

One thing is for sure, if Putin resorts to/uses nuclear weapons - then there'll be no more Santa Claus for anyone lol

The thing is Putin is one person, Russia isn't the only one with nuclear weapons.
Let's put it another way, what if Scott Morrison said right lets start a nuclear war?

I am fairly sure that Putin realises that if he strikes with one nuclear device he crosses the line and the west will retaliate, if only because they feel he may be deranged enough to fire more. Let's face it, they have the capability to return Russia to the stone age.

Well Biden won't step in/get the US directly involved in Europe's mess if it escalates to nuclear (can assure you of that).

The US will stand back & allow Europe to capitulate to Putin/Russia as won't directly intervene or come to their aid - unless it's selling weaponry arsenal to them as is the case now.

Biden is well aware that a direct confrontation with Putin may result in Russian subs hidden of the coast of the USA targeting American cities directly with devastating consequences.

Well Dutton told us a while back (before the election) suggesting/pre-empting that we were already at war.

But Biden could provoke tactical nukes, a ruined Europe, with ashes in London Berlin Paris and a wiped out Russia is a wet dream for him..and probably for Turkey and Poland which would fill the void.
And what a great market to rebuild.FMG would go balistic and we would have found an exit from the gfc can kicking

I agree.. a weakened Europe is considered a win for Biden's agenda.
