Gigachad Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi and Lieutenant General Mykhailo Zabrodskyi call for ATACMS and other long-range strike assets in order to negate Russia's true "Center of Gravity" and end the war.

Nothing else will do it. ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/356…
"It’s precisely this [long-range strike] capability that should be considered as the Russian army’s Center of Gravity from a military standpoint. As long as the current situation persists, this war can last for years."

"Russia’s...Center of Gravity...lies in the war’s 'remote' nature for most average Russians. Thanks to this lack of proximity, they perceive not so painfully all the losses, failures, and...costs of this war in all its senses."

#ATACMSforUkraine
"It is precisely about that impunity that the lack of physical proximity ensures...If Ukraine succeeds in receiving the appropriate weapons, operational and strategic prospects for 2023 will look totally different."
#ATACMSforUkraine
It is good to have these generals on the record, alongside Ukraine's Defence Minister, saying ATACMS are a must.

Which has long been obvious to everyone except the Biden administration, which insists Ukraine doesn't need any such capability 🤡

🧵👇
There is bipartisan support in Congress to transfer ATACMS. So why hasn't it been done?

The answer is simple and obvious to anyone paying attention the last ~2 decades.
#pt Namely, the administration DOES 👏NOT 👏WANT 👏UKRAINE 👏TO 👏WIN 👏 DECISIVELY 👏

Detached from reality, their primary concern is to ensure Ukraine cannot strike Russian territory, hence barring intelligence sharing or long-range weapons.

🧵👇
#pt 🧵
The key point to understand is that what's driving the administration's weapons provision strategy is *not* the desire to see Russia driven out of Ukraine, but a delusional attempt to pressure the Russians to the negotiating table and freeze the conflict.
#pt [As an aside, this was also the aim of Obama's Timber Sycamore, which is why it failed. The drip-drip provision of weapons, the insane self-deterrence, and the delusional goal of getting Assad to negotiate rather than defeating him]
Unless and until the Biden administration changes its goal from "strengthening Ukraine's hand at the negotiating table" to the strategic, humiliating defeat of Russia, this war will go on indefinitely, exactly as Zaluzhnyi & Zabrodskyi say.
PS: Biden personally intervened against the State Department and Pentagon to ensure total Ukrainian victory was officially removed as a US policy goal.

Pavel Luzin: Russia's Soviet ammunition stocks, especially of 122 mm and 152 mm shells, have been depleted since 2002 and especially after Chechnya, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014, Syria, and now this: theins.ru/en/politics/25… Image
Luzin: Given estimates of shell production/restoration and firing rates (>7 million shells since Feb. 24), Russia will face severe shortages in artillery shells by December 2022.

This is even without counting munitions destroyed in Ukrainian strikes.
Image
Luzin: Aside from shell shortages, there is also wear on artillery systems and Russian logistics and maintenance leaving much to be desired.

Apparently, the practice of regularly using S-300/400 as land-attack systems began at least 5 years ago.

On the current trajectory, this is absolutely true for several reasons 🧵
1. NATO+allies training 1000s of fresh Ukrainian recruits a month in the UK (see 🧵 below). Meanwhile, Russia has long since hit the bottom of the barrel, shanghaiing old men and prisoners and throwing them into the battle untrained and unequipped.
2. Thanks to allies and organizations/fundraisers like @Teoyaomiquu's and @UkraineAidOps, Ukraine will be vastly better equipped with winter gear.

Unlikely any element of the Russian army even has winter gear, but if they do, it's as poor quality as everything else they have.

There it fucking is.

Solomon Islands' disgusting CCP puppet, soon-to-be-dictator PM Sogavare is implementing CCP military policy against the US and its allies while uprooting and destroying democracy domestically.

Any Five Eyes personnel to be expelled very soon.
Meanwhile, Australia's government:
These clowns have no idea what they are doing:

"By providing aid sufficient to produce a stalemate, but not enough to roll back Russian territorial gains, the Biden administration may be unintentionally seizing defeat from the jaws of victory."

"Now is the time for Ukraine’s allies to pull out all the stops by providing Ukraine the means it needs to prevail. Dragging out the conflict...will do nothing but allow Putin to regroup, recover and inflict more damage in Ukraine and beyond."
"So far, neither the administration nor European allies have succeeded in making clear why this is important to the United States and the West...Putin’s aggressive designs do not end in Ukraine."

The CCP directly warns Israel that it must remain a Chinese colony from which the Party can extract brainpower and technology, and "the Chinese people understand the pain of the Jewish people because the Chinese had been persecuted by the West."
axios.com/2022/08/17/chi…
The chutzpah is unbelievable, but this is exactly how the CCP treats every country: as if it were a colony to be dictated to.

As Israel is the world's Supreme Cuck, it will likely agree to submit. It is ideologically aligned with the Russo-Chinese axis.
"While Netanyahu worked for a decade to build closer ties to China and court Chinese investments, the new Israeli government has taken U.S. concerns more seriously and started to view China more through a national security lens."
