9/26/23 Dalton "Gimmli" Medlin of Denison Texas was killed in Ukraine. He was a "volunteer". His records show he was enlisted a few years back, but nothing showing previous deployments...at least not floating around online yet.

Brian Harlow of Savannah Georgia got married in July of this year, but shortly there after left his new wife and 9yo kid to head to Ukraine. In August he joined up with the International Legion I think. A few weeks back, he stepped on a mine. He lost his right leg about the knee. He was taken out of Ukraine, and got some decent medical help. He's alive, and very lucky. He was an Iraq vet.

Consulting Firms Linked To Blinken & Nuland Are Advising Ukraine On How To Spend US Foreign Aid. - Stephen K Bannon's War Room

Consulting firms linked to the White House’s leading Ukraine policy architects – including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland – appear to be advising the Ukrainian government on its reconstruction efforts funded by U.S. taxpayers. The unearthed...
warroom.org warroom.org

The unearthed connections come amidst over $110 billion being sent to the notoriously corrupt country, with staunch opposition to curtailing the flow of cash or even auditing where the funds are actually being spent. Strategy papers obtained from these White House-linked consulting firms appear to call for a “multi-decade” continuation of foreign aid to Ukraine, even admitting the war provided a “window of opportunity” to achieve changes that would have been "politically difficult to achieve.”


A money laundering operation using your tax dollars.

There’s a long list of people who deserve the bullet at this point. 🖕

Saw some video of a Ukrainian attack launched last night. Looked to be about 7 PWC's, 14 troops. Ukraine has released the "landing" video, and this:


GUR(Main Intelligence Directorate) admitted losses among the special forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during an attempted landing in Crimea.

▪️
"A battle took place... Unfortunately, there are losses among the Ukrainian defenders..." said Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“There was a battle with the Russian invaders, there are many dead and wounded among the invaders’ personnel. Unfortunately, there are losses among the Ukrainian defenders, which are still not comparable to the Russian ones,” intelligence representative Yusov added.




The videos floating are all thermal imaging really, at least so far. It looks like the Russians have watchmen with thermal and early warning stuff...the 14 troops didn't make it much past the beach. Russia released this, no real details.
▪️
13 GUR militants were killed and 1 was captured.

In other news: Syrian military college graduation was today. Just after the ceremony, when family's were intermingled with grads, a drone strike hit. I think 80 dead. "Drone" attack, not rocket, by terrorists. Same day, a Turkish drone, helping Syria, was shot down by a US fighter, for being "to close" to US troops.

Things to think about. US forces shot down a NATO ally's drone. Both Turkey and US are supposed to be fighting Isis. It would also appear Isis now has access to relatively long range drones with better electronics than previous.

Being that RINO’s are Dems also, I would agree.

Our government and media have been lying to us for a very long time.

Robert Kennedy Junior says that the function of the CIA is to provide the military industrial complex with a pipeline of continual new wars and the money being sent to Ukraine is going to military contractors and not staying in the country. He says Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland, and Anthony Blinken are beholden to the military industrial complex profiting off the pain and suffering of war.

"That money is not staying in Ukraine, it's going to military contractors. It's the perfect war for the military. They get to re up their contracts. Those are the people who drive policy in Washington DC. Mitch McConnell is part of them.
Joe Biden is they. "

Interviewer:
"When you say the military industrial complex I'm looking for names.."

RFK:
"Victoria Nuland, Joe Biden, Anthony Blinken. Those are the people who are driving it (the military industrial complex).

We have 800 bases abroad. Each one is just a platform for a new war. The function of the CIA is to provide the military industrial complex, my Uncle discovered this, with this pipeline of continual new wars. That money is being paid by the American middle class. That's why we don't have a middle class in this country."

Somewhere in this thread I believe, it was mentioned that Blackrock has considerable control, a fair percentage, of the world GDP. In effect, they can back a problem starter with a "small" loan, and then fleece the countries which buy armaments from their companies that they hold controlling interest in.

The floor manager at Cartier fired the sales intern that helped Zelenska. Probably to shut her down, lose credibility...avoid paying commissions? This young girl one-upped them, had already made a copy of the sales receipt. She was probably just proud of her sale, not thinking it was her last.

So, with all eyes and cameras on Israel, Russia went on a major offensive in Avdeevka. This is the Ukraine controlled area that they have launched missiles from into Donetske. Heavy fortifications, and well dug in. Fighting there looks like Gaza...major air strikes, and ground forces moving in on three sides.

I have a few work colleagues in Ukraine. I was telling one of them that we don't hear much in our local news about the war. His response was "thanks to US Patriot anti missiles system, no direct missile hit in Kyiv since spring, only fragments of downed missiles"

Seems like the past few months they've sent more stuff towards the east, Lvov I think? And whatever was west of Crimea. A lot of "drone" things, (geraniums, gerans or "Dorritos")

I just wish both sides wouldn't hide in cities, so they wouldn't have to target cities.

Last night while trying to find a video, a snippet from some girl popped up. Something to the effect of "The truth about Patrick Lancaster..."
Read the subtitles, and this girl is basically bashing him, saying if he is so unbiased, why does he only report from the Russian occupied areas.

She completely neglected to say anything about his wife being from Donetske, and his children born there.

She also neglected to mention anything about the state run (Ukrainian, though based out of Langley...) site that put a target on him.

I'd stay in the "occupied" areas too if my family was from there and the other side openly wants to kill me.

You mean our Government has been untruthful about their participation in the overthrow of the Ukrainian Government in order to install a NATO sponsored leader and have a place to put rockets next to Russia And build chemical/biological weapons laboratories?
Someone break it to 530, gently.

Many analysts consider that it may not be President Putin's intention to see his forces attempt to push further into Ukraine, given that a chief war aim of his is to solidify hold over the Donbas and four 'annexed territories'. It appears the Russian army is simply staying put, content to have a firm grip over most the of east and much of the south.

PUTIN’S GOING TO MARCH THROUGH EUROPE!!!!!!!! @530RL 🤣 🤣 🖕 🤣 🤣

With the announcement last night that Wagner will provide air support for Hezbulah if Lebanon enters the Israel conflict, I wonder how much of it is just holding back. I think many of the big players, the US included, may be holding off on certain moves waiting to see how other players shift. Hezbulah is backed by Iran, Iran by Russia. Israel is backed by the US.

From a strategic standpoint, it would be foolish to show your hand right now. The other thing would be positioning large numbers of troops anywhere right now. Many fronts, and many more possible fronts. Having forces and armaments fluid may be a big factor.

Scary stuff.

US Navy? US Marines aboard ship? In the Mediterranean? Army troops? Aboard ship? Offshore of the hot zone?
Pucker factor?

So forward think to spend the last 20-30 years antagonizing Russia instead of trying to built a foundation of unity and cooperation with a culture that has far more in common with western values and culture than fundamentalist muslims or communist chinese.

And now Russia has decided it's better for them to allie with either of these diametrically opposed cultures against the US.

Brilliant foreign policy.
