Gilbert Doctorow: Russian officials are knowingly playing down their daily advance westward, calling it just positional improvements. They do not want to telegraph their punches or to give Western media cause for alarm before they spring the several traps for Ukraine’s army that will come when they break through the Ukrainian defense lines later this spring and summer.
Gilbert Doctorow on the FAB: They are unstoppable and achieve many times the devastation of artillery shells. Indeed they are fully capable of clearing paths through any of the defense lines that the Ukrainians are now constructing posthaste in anticipation of a Russian offensive.
Gilbert Doctorow: Of considerably greater importance, we saw on last Sunday’s News of the Week program hosted by Dmitry Kiselyov an extensive account of the ‘pre-history’ of the NATO treaty, with a fair dose of conspiracy theories set out that bring to the door of Harry Truman and Winston Churchill responsibility for the start of the Cold War.
NYT: "The flow of arms to Ukraine has exposed a worrisome lack of production capacity in the United States that has its roots in the end of the Cold War."
At present, the U.S. does not possess the industrial capability to truly mobilize for war.
As long as the United States was fighting against weaker nations - Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria - they could paper over the lack of industrial capacity. Now? The lack of U.S. industrial power is exposed to light of day.
Anyone who comes to the U.S. and drives through its cities see this first hand: factories either shut down or laying in ruins, warehouses in downtown areas turned into expensive condos, etc.
James Vasquez, the Subway Fighter, fled Twitter after Sarah Ashton-Cirillo accused him of being a fraud.
And just like that Vasquez is gone.
Read this gem about Vasquez. Gambling, getting drunk at hotels in Lvov as his "best friend" (who was killed in battle) was fighting on the frontline, scamming money from donations, etc. etc. etc.

Dreizin: It’s now well known that a newly-unified, Russian-Belarussian command is planning a winter offensive…a “second front” against unprepared, largely unguarded areas in the Ukraine’s north.
Dreizin: There may be some diversionary raids, but it’s understood that the most likely axis of advance is near the Polish border, south to Lutsk and then potentially to Lvov…cutting off the main supply lines into the Ukraine…
Dreizin:…without which all organized resistance by Ukrainian forces employing large modern weapons, would cease totally in as little as six weeks.
Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the commander of Russia’s nuclear, biological and chemical protection troops, issued a statement Oct. 24 that, among other things, implicates the United Kingdom in the preparation of the dirty bomb provocation.
Kirillov: “According to the available information, two organizations of Ukraine have been directly ordered to create the so-called ‘dirty bomb.’ The works are at their concluding stage.”
Kirillov: “Moreover, we have information about contacts between the Office of the President of Ukraine and representatives of the United Kingdom regarding the possible reception of technologies to create nuclear weapons.”
