#1  I wonder how much longer the news as written here will be allowed to continue. I foresee such news moderated to the point of restriction. Hopefully not going to happen but in my opinion when.

Meanwhile Russia has no ammunition's, rockets and has lost massive waves of Russians army in human waves. 200,000 Russian lives lost, kill ratio of 5-1(five Russians to one Ukrainians). The western media posts only what they think you want to hear or should hear.

#2  Allowed by who, Dale? badanov is doing us the service of translating news and opinion pieces from both sides of the conflict. This may be annoying to partisans on both sides, but allows the disinterested reader the ability to triangulate between two sets of propaganda to arrive at something closer to reality.

Remember that it was the Russians of the Soviet Union who long ago said, “There is no Pravda (truth) in Izvestiya (news) and there is no Izvestiya in Pravda.” Pravda was the news organization of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union and Izvestiya was the news organization of the Soviet government.

#3  Pravda was the news organization of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union and Izvestiya was the news organization of the Soviet government.

Oh, I think Dale already knows that.

#5  Who will be responsible for Dale's welfare checks if his fanciful notion of how things will wind up does not come to pass?

#6  Badanov is doing a wonderful job but I foresee a time when his efforts to be balanced will be corrected. Our own government has worked on this since 2014 as I recall. I should say in collusion with various medias as well. Should Rantburg continue it will face disruptive elements as it has in the past. Hopefully not but our government has other plans.

#8  "how much longer the news as written here"

Rantburg and the Chans are outliers. The 2012 repeal of the Smith-Mundt Act has 100% changed the dynamic of media of what 'free speech' is tolerated in the mainstream, of which 'free speech' can be written.

As long as these outlets remain indy and can withstand the Brigading and DDoS, we will have a place to discuss these things. The new churches, the new taverns.

There's so many lurkers here at Rantburg that if any one side gets too partisan, lurkers always usually step in to balance the convo out.

That’s a different question, Dale, and a much nicer one. Fred and badanov own the servers that host Rantburg, and thus far have stood firm against a variety of attacks, from offended Saudi script kiddies (remember JUSTICE’s copy/paste temper tantrums?) to massive DDOS attacks to spam to that horrid Las Vegas group playing legal copyright games — which is part of the reason why we put the name of the source in square brackets at the top of each article and Fred devised his cute little auto-translate program. The other part of the reason is because that way our readers can quickly decide what they think about the content, while the auto-translations are both fun and capture key bits of accumulated knowledge on various subjects.

As for future risks, we’ll all just have to continue to do our best, trusting this nation will not fall fully into the hands of the current generation of totalitarian wannabes.

Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: March 9th, 2023
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] 22:13 Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, who visited Kiev at the end of February, said that he had met with Lavrov in Moscow and discussed Ukraine, grain, Syria and energy issues with him. Farhan stressed that Riyadh is ready to mediate in the negotiations between Kiev and Moscow.

21:09 The KGB of Belarus stated that the Polish special services were involved in the attack on the A-50 aircraft at the Machulishchi airfield. According to the "data" of the department, this is allegedly evidenced by the fact that "several people from among the so-called fugitives who are currently on the territory of Poland" were involved in it. These people are allegedly involved in the channels for organizing the delivery of weapons, drones to the territory of the Republic of Belarus, ensuring the entry of the "terrorist" into the territory of Belarus, "preparing and implementing routes for his evacuation."

20:14 The next six months are critical for the war in Ukraine, CIA director William Burns said: "In the context of intelligence, the next few months - four, five, six - will be critical on the battlefield in Ukraine." In his opinion, the Russian military will be able to achieve tactical successes, but they will not be significant.

19:38 Zelensky said that he had a telephone conversation with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: "We condemned today's Russian missile attacks. We welcomed the new package of EU sanctions and agreed on further pressure on the aggressor. We discussed in detail Ukraine's progress in implementing the recommendations of the European Commission to start negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU this year.

19:35 The White House in the draft budget for 2024 requested $ 6 billion to support Ukraine, NATO allies and other partner countries in Europe. It also proposes to allocate $37.7 billion to maintain the nuclear deterrence potential and $23.8 billion to modernize the nuclear complex. In addition, the White House has requested $753 million to counter Russian influence in Ukraine, $400 million to the China containment fund.

19:31 The United States imposed sanctions against 39 financial institutions that created a shadow banking network in order to obtain a billion-dollar fortune for the Iranian regime, bypassing earlier restrictions, the Treasury said.

19:27 Russia does not agree to Ukraine's proposal to exchange all for all of one category - for example, women or the wounded, Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets said: "After all, according to the Geneva Conventions, there is a certain priority - women prisoners of war return first, then the wounded. At the same time Russia does not accept these proposals either."

19:18 During the missile attack on Ukraine on March 9, the Russians used a one-month supply of missiles, Andrey Yusov, a spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, said: "They have been accumulating forces for a month, in particular, production has been working, but today, virtually everything that was produced was spent on Ukrainian transformers. .. This does not mean that the missiles are over, but they do not have an unlimited supply."

19:14 After today's missile attack, as of 19:00, the most difficult situation with energy supply is in Kharkiv and Zhytomyr regions, Ukrenergo reported.

19:08 The European Union still cannot find and freeze 136 billion euros of Russian assets, Bloomberg reports. So, to date, the EU has managed to find only 20.9 billion euros. In October, it was reported that about 17.4 billion euros had been frozen.

19:04 The American Film Academy for the second time refused to show Zelensky's address at the Oscars, Variety writes, citing sources. According to the publication, last time the producer of the ceremony, Will Packer, opposed the appeal of the Ukrainian president. He felt that Hollywood paid too much attention to the war in Ukraine due to the fact that it concerns whites, but ignored the rest of the wars in the world.

18:59 The Finnish government announced that it had approved a permit for Estonia to re-export its military equipment and equipment to Ukraine. The decision concerns the export of 122-mm D-30 howitzers and shells for them.

18:25 Ukraine is becoming a "combat laboratory" for testing Iranian weapons outside the Middle East, a Pentagon official said during a visit to Israel, Fox News reports. “Everyone should be prepared for what threat scenarios will look like when Iran applies the tactics, techniques and procedures that the country has learned in Ukraine and starts using these coercive tactics in the Middle East.”

18:22 The US Treasury imposed sanctions against Chinese companies that supplied components for Iranian drones. Deputy Treasury Secretary for Counter-Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson stressed that Iran is directly involved in civilian casualties as a result of Russia's use of Iranian UAVs in Ukraine.

18:18 Turkey has blocked the supply of sanctioned goods to Russia, the Russian Kommersant FM reported, citing logistics companies. According to some interlocutors of the radio station, the decision of the Turkish customs is connected with the recent visit to Turkey by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

18:12 The defense of Bakhmut has been going on for more than seven months, and the enemy has not yet been able to take the city into an operational encirclement. But the situation remains very difficult, said Alexander Syrsky, Commander of the Ground Forces. "We understand the tactical significance of Bakhmut for the enemy and we know his plans for actions in other sectors of the front. The defense forces are now continuing to defend the city. The situation is dynamic. Here, every move and decision can radically change it. Every day has the highest value," he added. .

17:54 Lukashenka signed a law establishing the death penalty for officials for high treason.

17:21 Russia is planning a large-scale provocation on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border. For detailed coverage of the provocation, the main Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov should arrive in Belarus. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, on March 11, it is planned to organize a television and radio bridge and broadcast live from the scene for Russian propaganda media.

According to Ukrainian military intelligence, several groups of Russians are arriving in Belarus. Probably, the plans of the occupiers imply a threat of destruction of infrastructure facilities and possible casualties among the civilian population. The purpose of the provocation is to create public opinion towards Ukraine on the part of Belarusian citizens and ensure the full participation of the country's armed forces in the war on the side of the Russian Federation.

17:13 Experts have confirmed the identity of the deceased Ukrainian soldier Oleksandr Matsiyevsky, who was shot by the Russians for saying "Glory to Ukraine," Deputy Justice Minister Andrei Gaychenko said. According to him, forensic experts confirmed the identity of the deceased on six grounds. More details - in the material Volunteer from Nizhyn .

16:47 Lithuanian intelligence believes that Russia can conduct active hostilities in Ukraine for another two years, said Elegius Paulavičius, director of the Department of Operational Services under the country's Ministry of Defense. And although we are not talking about the quality of resources, the old technology also causes great harm. In addition, there are more Russian military now than at the beginning of the war, he added. "Therefore, comprehensive military, political and economic assistance to Ukraine will remain vital to achieve victory," Paulavičius stressed.

16:19 If Russia does not announce forced mobilization, its army will find it increasingly difficult to maintain the level of offensive operations, said the head of US National Intelligence, Avril Haynes. According to her, the main task of the Russian army in eastern Ukraine may be to hold the occupied territories. "We do not foresee that this year the Russian army will recover sufficiently to achieve major territorial gains."

"The war in Ukraine has become a brutal war of attrition in which neither side has the ultimate advantage, but Putin will continue. Perhaps for years," Haynes added.

16:05 Pushilin's "decree" on the establishment of military registration and enlistment offices in Mariupol and the region has come into force today, Piotr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of the city, said. Until April 1, a full account of all men starting from 2006 should be provided. The police were also instructed to ensure the fulfillment of the mobilization tasks set by Russia.

15:57 Since October 2022, Russia has fired 821 missiles on the territory of Ukraine with a total cost of approximately $7.5 billion , the Price of Power project calculated.

15:36 Ukrenergo announced that it had resumed power supply to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, interrupted by today's missile strikes. ZNPP is switching from diesel generators to receiving electricity for its own needs from the United Energy System of Ukraine.

15:28 The Kremlin does not believe in the version of the "Ukrainian trace" in the sabotage on the Nord Streams, Peskov said: "As for some pro-Ukrainian" Dr. Evil ", who organized all this, it's hard to believe it. It was too a difficult task, which was probably on the shoulder of a well-trained state special service, of which there are not so many in our world."

Peskov also drew attention to the “synchronous release” of world media publications on this topic: “You see that the Anglo-Saxons, whom we talked about from the very beginning, are fussing. They obviously have a lot of awkwardness because of this terrorist attack in relations with the Germans, this is obvious ".

15:09 In Moscow, false information about an air raid alert was heard on radio and TV due to hacking of servers, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation reported.

14:57 The Russians damaged the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, the reservoir became shallow, said the head of the Dnepropetrovsk OVA Serhiy Lysak. According to him, "titanic efforts" managed to raise and maintain the water level in the Kakhovka Sea, because it is critically important for the inhabitants of Krivoy Rog and Nikopol region. Lysak noted that technical solutions have already been found, design estimates are being developed.

14:48 The head of the Office of the President of Poland, Pavel Shrot, confirmed that Warsaw is ready to provide Kiev with MiG-29 fighters, but specified that "it will not be a large number." Schroth added that Poland intends to transfer the planes "to some kind of broader, international coalition."

14:23 Massive night attack by Russians using daggers testifies to the enemy's intention to find new strike tactics, Natalia Gumenyuk, speaker of OK Pivden, said. According to her, the Russian troops were looking for options on how to confuse the Ukrainian forces with their actions. For example, before a massive missile attack, they brought all the carriers to their bases, and before that, the "muscle game in the sea" continued for a long time.

As for the large number of daggers issued, according to Gumenyuk, in this way the Russians are trying to put pressure on Ukraine: “They want to demonstrate that they can afford to use other types of weapons, that is, not only those that have already become familiar to us. Again back to looking for new tactics."

13:56 The SBU called the statement of the "MGB of Pridnestrovie" about the alleged participation of Ukraine in the preparation of the terrorist act a provocation: "Any statements by representatives of the so-called "Ministry of State Security" of the fake "Pridnestrovian People's Republic" about the participation of the SBU in the preparation of the terrorist attack should be considered solely as a provocation orchestrated in Kremlin". The department said that behind the spread of such statements is Russia's goal to undermine the situation in the territory, which is actually occupied and controlled by it, blaming Ukraine for this.

13:42 Since September 24, 2022, when the military intelligence of Ukraine began using the "people's satellite" ICEYE, employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense conducted space radar reconnaissance of almost a thousand areas where Russian units are located in temporarily occupied and other territories. During these five months, the spacecraft made it possible to detect 360 tents at the locations of the Russian army, as well as 7,321 objects of military and special equipment. In particular, 45 aircraft and 27 helicopters, 36 S-300 air defense systems, 11 radar stations, etc. were found. A significant part of this list was destroyed.

13:37 France, Hungary and Bulgaria are blocking EU sanctions against Russian nuclear energy, including Rosatom, PAP reports. Brussels is also receiving information that Rosatom has begun to expand its activities to other sectors, as it felt protected from sanctions.

13:24 Zelensky said that he had held a meeting on the shelling of Ukrainian infrastructure by the enemy. According to him, today's shelling attacked Dnepropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Kirovograd, Kharkiv, Sumy, Vinnitsa, Lvov, Ivano-Frankivsk, Odessa, Zaporozhye regions and the city of Kiev.

13:18 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that in response to "terrorist actions" in the Bryansk region, the RF Armed Forces inflicted a "massive retaliation strike" on Ukraine , during which, in particular, hypersonic Kinzhal missiles were used. According to the RF Ministry of Defense, as a result of the strike, "key elements of the military infrastructure of Ukraine, enterprises of the military-industrial complex, as well as energy facilities that provide them" were allegedly hit. The goal of the strike was achieved, all designated objects were hit, the ministry said.

In addition, as a result of the strike, the places where attack drones were based were allegedly destroyed, "the transfer of reserves and rail transportation of foreign weapons was disrupted, and facilities for the repair of military equipment and the production of ammunition" were put out of action.

13:07 EU defense ministers at yesterday's meeting in Stockholm agreed to speed up the supply of artillery shells and buy more ammunition to help Ukraine, but it remains to be decided how these plans will be implemented, Borrell said. According to the plan, EU countries will receive financial incentives of 1 billion euros to send more artillery shells to Ukraine, and another 1 billion euros will go to the joint purchase of new shells.

"We have reached a general agreement on this procedure, but there are issues that have not yet been resolved. Everything should be discussed in detail," Borrell said. He expressed hope that the plan would be finally agreed upon at a meeting of EU foreign and defense ministers on 20 March.

12:58 Poland has sent ten more Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine in addition to the four already received, Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said. He also added that the Ukrainian military had completed training on these tanks.

12:42 Russia today's attack did not achieve its main goals: the Ukrainian energy system is working, it has not been extinguished, has not collapsed, said Volodymyr Kudrytsky, chairman of the board of NPC Ukrenergo. At the same time, he added that in many regions there is damage to energy infrastructure facilities, which is why electricity supply is limited in some areas.

12:29 As a result of a morning rocket attack in Kiev, an energy infrastructure facility was damaged. There are interruptions in heat supply, part of the people of Kiev are left without heating, Klitschko said.

12:17 The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, announced the need to take responsibility for the safety of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant after another blackout of the station. He emphasized that this is already the sixth case when the Zaporizhzhya NPP loses external power supply and is forced to work in emergency mode: “This cannot continue. I am amazed at the complacency - what are we doing to prevent this from happening? "Every time we roll the die. And if we let it go on, one day our luck will run out."

Grossi urged the IAEA staff to commit themselves to protecting the safety of the ZNPP right now: "We need action. I will continue urgent consultations and contacts."

12:04 Slovak Defense Minister Yaroslav Nagy said that Poland agreed to the joint transfer of the MiG-29 to Ukraine and the time had come for the Slovak government to make a decision: "I think it's time to make a decision. People are dying in Ukraine, we can really help them, there is no place for the Slovak politicization. This is inhuman and irresponsible."

Russian Perspective: Operation to Denazify Ukraine: Operational Brief March 9th (updated)
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Kindly note that several entries in this article may have been removed because they included discussions of the grand strategic level.

[NewsFrontInfo] 19:42 An attempt by the ukrovoyaks to move to another position did not work, they had to run back to their brothers -video

19:39 After the transfer of Kherson under control mode Zelensky, employees of the SBU, on the orders of the head of the Ukrainian security service for the Kherson region Borisevich Artem Sergeevich, began to actively raid and round up the city.

The fact is that Borisevich is distinguished by self-interest. He uses every opportunity for personal gain. Under the pretext of identifying unreliable residents of the city, he ordered his employees to find apartments from which residents moved to other regions of the Russian Federation. Built-in locks are broken into these dwellings. They take out everything that is of any value for further implementation. After that, the door is sealed, and a padlock is hung on it.

To create the appearance of their work, Borisevich's shepherd dogs use a rather rotten tactic. For example, dressed in civilian clothes, they ask provocative questions to completely unfamiliar children: with whom the child lives, what do adults do, they are especially interested in where the fathers are and what is the attitude towards Russians in the family, and also whether any of the relatives left for the territory of Russia, etc.

After receiving the necessary information, the place of residence of the child is established and punishers come to the address with accusations of collaborationism. Without observing the norms of elementary morality and ethics, an apartment is searched (even dirty linen and wastebaskets).

All available cell phones are immediately confiscated and their contents, personal correspondence, photos and videos, social networks are studied, neighbors are also interviewed about the activities of the accused during the period of control of the Russian army over Kherson. After finding at least one clue, the person is detained. It often happens that the children of the detainees are left alone, no one is interested in how they will live on. Borisevich and his gang show indifference to the fate of little Kherson residents.

Initially, interrogations are carried out within the Kherson region, which are accompanied by threats to the suspect and family members. Neighbors and relatives are necessarily involved in interrogations, who are given an ultimatum that either interaction with the SBU and testifying against the accused, or the witness becomes an accomplice in the crime.

After the investigative process, the citizen is sent to Nikolaev, where, according to our information, more than 450 such collaborators from the city of Kherson are already kept in basements. They are regularly subjected to bullying, torture and humiliation there.

Such basements are distinguished by a huge death rate among prisoners, those who did not survive in hellish conditions are tied hands and buried in mass graves. After some time, the Ukrainian monsters make a statement that they have found another burial place of the massacre of Ukrainian citizens by Russian military personnel.

Instead of protecting its civilian population, the SBU is persecuting them. Soon Kherson will return under the control of the Russian Federation and all criminals will be punished, including Borisevich with his gang of marauders.

18:36 Our guys tracked another enemy lair and, as expected, decomposed it into molecules with clear hits -video

The enemy's ammunition depot was also destroyed.

17:55 Ukrainian edition of "Mirror of the Week" publishes results of a public opinion poll on the need to study the Russian language at school.

In southern Ukraine, 49% of those polled reportedly opposed such a need. In the east of the country, 30% of respondents allegedly hold the same opinion.

The publication recalls that in 2019, only 1% of the population of southern Ukraine opposed the study of the Russian language in schools, and none of those surveyed in the east of the country spoke out.

The authors of Zerkalo Nedeli warmly welcome the changes that have taken place, since they are confident in the "mankurtization" of the population of the south and east of the country.

It should be noted here that due to the repressions against "dissenters" widely practiced by the Kyiv regime and Ukrainian nationalists, no polls on political topics on the territory of Ukraine are reliable.

In Novaya Ilyinka, the tasks were completed by groups of attack aircraft. The event was a success and without incident. The fighters will continue to identify accomplices of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and violators of the legislation of the Russian Federation.

12:47 Banderovka expected confessed in dislike for Donbass:

"These are not our people. They don't like Ukraine. They are losing our positions. They run out of the houses and shout to us "so that you die!". They look from under the forehead. This is not comparable with the Kiev region, where we were greeted in the liberated villages with tears and hugs.

We are not welcome here. All the inhabitants of these cities do not care who will be here - Russia or Ukraine, so that their house is not bombed. I don't know if they realize the fullness of the Russian world, but they want it like manna. They say the war is here because of us.

Those who left here for Ukraine long ago. Everything you need to know about Donbass. And he continues to take our best ((That hell here cannot be described in any words and not illuminated by any film adaptation, because it will only be a pale shadow of the realities of the war in this region. Severodonetsk, Lysichansk, Popasnaya, this is not giving up!)) !Faithful to the oath”

We want to add a little touch:

Of course, you, the Bandera scum, are hated the most in the Southeast, but in the center of the country, they despise you and want to get rid of you. You managed to intimidate people with executions and torture, and now many are simply afraid to even hint about their position, but on occasion they will hang you upside down

Moreover, at the same time, especially at night, Russian planes are bombarding Ukrainian fortifications with glide bombs weighing from 500 to 1500 kg.

At the same time, the Ukrainian army, whose own artillery support has been greatly weakened due to counterbattery actions in recent months, is constantly reducing its potential under continuous artillery fire.

Large-caliber air bombs are usually thrown at the fortifications and destroy them one by one.

Daily losses in Bakhmut amount to more than 500 people, and Avdievka begins to surpass even this place due to heavy bombardment.

As a result, the daily losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along the entire length of the front exceed 2,000 people killed and wounded.

11:55 Kharkiv Mayor Terekhov reports that in result of rocket attack in the city there is no water and heat, the subway and other electric transport have also been stopped.

08:50 The Lviv nationalist considered the main task in the rear to be the “destruction of the internal Russian” -video

The main tasks of Ukrainians in the rear should be de-Russification, the fight against monuments and religion, said Lviv nationalist Valentyn Balagura.

“Those in the rear need to focus on the problems we have here. The military knows what to do. Yes, I'm sure their commanders will tell you how to deal with prisoners of war. Our answer should be the first - that we continue to donate to our army, the second - we continue the processes of de-Russification. That is, monuments, the Moscow Patriarchate, and so on.

We must convert our anger into the destruction of everything Russian, the destruction of the Russian in ourselves. Because it often happens that someone posts a picture of a dead soldier on Instagram, and six hours later a video with Russian-language rap appears. That is, it is a shame, and we must destroy the occupier in ourselves, we must destroy everything connected with Russia, and then there will be our victory and everything will be fine, ”said Balagura.

Dubovo-Vasilievka liberated
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] The situation in Artemovsk after the liberation of Dubovo-Vasilyevka.

The assault on the western districts of the city continues, as well as fighting on the near approaches to Bogdanovka and Krasnoy. The enemy spends his reserves and tries to counterattack, but has no serious results.

Roads from Artemovsk are under fire control. The number of destroyed Ukrainian wheeled and tracked vehicles continues to increase on the roads and in the fields. At night, it is even more or less possible to slip into the city through Khromovo. During the day, the risks increase significantly.

#1  Russians couldn't close the Bakhmut pincer so attacking in a less defended direction hoping to draw off defending forces. More and more regular, vs zeks, Wagner mercenaries are being killed as Wagner runs out of prisoners. May that whole rotten edifice be swallowed into Bakhmut mud and Pirgozhin invited for Kremlin tea.

SBU tried to kill the President of Transnistria
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] The authorities of Transnistria reported that they had prevented an attempt to assassinate the President of the PMR Krasnoselsky, which was organized by the SBU. Participants in the assassination attempt were detained by the security service. Operational materials will be presented tonight at 19-00.

The SBU planned to kill the President of Transnistria Krasnoselsky in the center of Tiraspol by blowing up his armored Land Rover using 8 kg of explosives (RDX) with damaging elements. In the event of an explosion on the streets of the city, this is guaranteed to lead to accidental civilian casualties.

The Transnistrian Prosecutor's Office also promised more details by evening. Investigations are now underway, the detained terrorists are testifying.

Once again, I note that in our country the SBU has not yet been recognized as a terrorist organization.

#2  After raising Ukrainian flags over two towns earlier this week in Russia, special ops units are moving deeper into Russia destroying Russian ammunition depots and a large concentration of Russian troops numbering in the hundreds dead in a surprise attack.

Also, a major fire in Moscow has left the city in smoke late one evening. The fire was a major infrastructure fuel facility believed to be sabotaged.

#3  Word is the UK is so depleted of bullets it would take 10 years to return to normal levels.

Amazing how quickly people can move when motivated. Look at pre-war production circa 1939 and what happened shortly there after. However, there has got to be a 'will' to do so. Then again, pack in the '80s a senior Army officer articulated it was all about buying as much time as possible before the President had to decide to push the button.

#4  Sorry to say Abu our government will never tolerate such a move. Their disinformation tools are in high gear here and overseas. The PSYOPS activity will only get worse as Ukraine falls. Too much money to be made and the opportunity to control populations and countries too irresistible to ignore. New pandemics on the way. New coup attempt's occurring now. Victoria Nuland's new normal for the West.

#5  Yes number 3. The rub as I see it working with many young people as I do the "However, there has got to be a 'will' to do so". The will is gone. Most prefer unemployment and drugs. A much smaller population has the will as seen in the ranks of the military but recruitment numbers are terrible. Wokeness is in full bloom there. Where will they run? any sanctuary state that will pamper them.
