The President of France Emmanuel Macron stated during an Interview released today by The Economist, that France and other Allied Countries would discuss the possibility of Deploying Combat Troops into Ukraine if Russian Forces were able to launch a Significant Breakthrough of Ukrainian Defensive Lines in the East of the Country.

Colonel of the SVR, MGIMO professor Andrei Bezrukov - about Macron’s statements about sending the French army to Ukraine:
“Forget about Macron, he will be gone soon. He's in his last presidential cycle. He can’t run for office, and he’s such a dick. Someone I know joked that the French rooster is the only bird that can sing while standing knee-deep in shit.
In reality, these statements are worthless, they are worth nothing!
With the contingent of the French army that can still be sent, this will solve absolutely nothing on the battlefield. This will only add to the mess. The French army is in principle incapable of introducing a field war of the type that exists here now. She is not prepared for this, she is not equipped for this. It can fire nuclear missiles from a submarine. Maybe, but she's not stupid enough to do it. She can give her planes, good planes. But what kind of pilots will have to be placed there? And everyone understands that if they are in Ukraine, they will burn.

| Reminder 86% of Russian freight rail is moved along electrified rail. No electricity, no train movement, which means no supplies going to the front. About time Ukraine starts attacking Russian Rail and going after the ZHV. Like the Ottoman Empire Russia is critically over-reliant on railroads. Ottoman Hejaz Railway was attacked and degraded by Lawrence of Arabia hopefully Ukraine takes his raids as a lesson and starts something similar. Cool fact over 100 years later Ottoman trains ambushed by Lawrence of Arabia still sit where they were blown up. |

Ukraine is finally starting to target high priority targets holy shit!!!!
Someone wake up @BruckenRuski
@russianbridges1
If you haven't followed him he has made many maps in great detail highlighting this infrastructure.
Last night, Ukraine conducted long-range OWA-UAV strikes on Russian Railroad Infrastructure and Electric Transformer Substations.
It has been several months since Ukraine has done any strikes on a Traction Power Station
At around 2300 local time Ukrainian OWA-UAV's struck Traction power stations in
-Ponyri
-Svoboda
At around 2320 local time Ukrainian OWA-UAV's struck Traction power stations in
-Zmievka
-Glazunovka
Several transformer substations were also attacked on the same stretch. As a result, an emergency power outage occurred at the Zmievka and Glazunovka stations.
This is one of the main primary rail routes bringing ammunition and supplies down to Stary Oskol which then makes its way down to Stanytsia Luhanska.
This is also one of the primary rail route bringing ammunition and supplies to Belgorod.

These strikes are likely the beginning of a campaign by the AFU/GUR/SBU to degrade the Russian military of supplies and destroy critical infrastructure that will negatively impact Russia's ability to support a large-scale offensive in Kharkiv and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
Icons in Orange are what was struck last night.
Icons in red are railroad bridges
The black lines are Russian Rail and occupied Ukrainian rail
The green lines are occupied Ukrainian rail being utilized currently by the Russian military.

So US Nuclear weapons in a US State - say TX - are under TX control?
As for NATO host nations being able to unilaterally use US NUKES stored in there nations - NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN.
As for NATO - 100% controlled by the US - no actions of this type would be allowed without US approval, control and direction.
As for the "Ukrainian Nukes" while stored there - they did not have the activation codes - useless - the codes were controlled by the Soviet Union > Russia
Just wait till the raise the Russian Flag
Reuters Article:
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Russian forces were not mingling with U.S. troops but were using a separate hanger at Airbase 101, which is next to Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, Niger's capital.
The move by Russia's military puts U.S. and Russian troops in close proximity at a time when the nations' military and diplomatic rivalry is increasingly acrimonious over the conflict in Ukraine.
It also raises questions about the fate of U.S. installations in the country following a withdrawal.
"(The situation) is not great but in the short-term manageable," the official said.
Niger's move to ask for the removal of U.S. troops came after a meeting in Niamey in mid-March, when senior U.S. officials raised concerns including the expected arrival of Russia forces and reports of Iran seeking raw materials in the country, including uranium.
While the U.S. message to Nigerien officials was not an ultimatum, the official said, it was made clear U.S. forces could not be on a base with Russian forces.
"They did not take that well," the official said.

I'm guessing a large part of such targeting is being "shaped" by the Biden Admin and not the Ukrainians else it should have been happening all along and is something I've been wondering about for a long time.

How many times have we been told this same story - minor variants - but the same story.
If they had the ability - it would have been done by now - or before their famous Counter Offensive
YES a few drones will get past AD and the newer long range missiles as well. But these off-off "hits" are MINOR compared to what Russia is doing to Ukraine - EACH DAY.
When Ukraine takes out 50% or more of the Electrical power - AND CAN KEEP IT OFF - that makes a difference
When they can halt rail traffic and KEEP it off line - that makes a difference

Per VOA, the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant is now producing more than 36,000 155mm shells per month.
Before 2022, the plant produced roughly 7,000 shells per month; the Army aimed to hit 35,000 shells per month by 2027. SCAAP beat that goal by over two years.

Total escalation. Total provocation.
When NATO troops start fighting in Ukraine there’s no turning back. WW3 between nuclear powers is taking shape. Do not underestimate the seriousness of the situation. It’s happening.

Ten yards every single play is a phenomenal average, and Russia isn't doing that well in the Ukraine (or they'd already be drinking tea in Berlin). When I was playing high school footfall the coach said if you can advance the ball just three yards on every single play you'll win every game. Russia is advancing more like one yard (sometimes considerably less) every play but with no limit on how many plays it takes to get to the next first down.
That depends on what the definition of ”is” is. And “NATO” and troops and fighting.

You'd have a valid point if the US dissolved as a nation and Texas regained independence.
It's not hard to understand, once the Soviet Union ceased to exist; whatever hardware, equipment, weapons, factories, or other assets, military, economic, or otherwise that fellow within the national boundaries of a given nation, fell into ownership of that nation.
You can make all the claims you want, US policy and doctrine on nuclear sharing and weapons authorization is clear.
The US doesn't' control NATO, it just has the most influence...for now...and who do you think controls the US, because last I checked, it wasn't you or me.
That's assuming those platforms even had codes, a PAL isn't always a code, even on legacy US platforms it's been something as simplistic as a hasp and lock, a plug, or the "Two-Man Rule".
If nuclear weapons were just useless paperweights without a code, then their physical security would be moot. What the concern is and has always been is the physics package.
Thanks for your response - it appears we have somewhat different views on this.
But in retrospect whether Ukraine gave them up or they were taken back I would think we would all agree that giving some 1700 - 2000 Nukes to the control of the most corrupt nation in Europe would not have worked out to well.

Prime Minister Of Georgia Exposes U.S. Regime Change Attempt
Once again the US is attempting - and FUNDING - "color revolution" - excellent article and overview.Those organization who currently receive money from the various U.S. or EU government or non-government organizations are of course not amused that they will have to reveal their association with such sources. They want to lobby for foreign positions without being identified as foreign influencers.
They have therefore launched protests against their country's government and parliament which has passed the law in the first reading. Two further readings will be required to finalize the law.
The protesters against the law claim that it is a "Russian law" against "foreign agents".
However neither is the law "Russian style" - it is a copy of FARA - nor does the law include the loaded word "agent". It does not accuse anyone of being such but seeks public transparency over foreign financial influences which would of course also include Russian ones.
Georgia has one of the highest amount of NGOs per capita!
- 20,000 NGOs are active in Georgia!
- 1 NGO per 148 citizens!
- 90% get their funding from foreign countries!”
And once again the US hands are all over this - putting direct pressure on Georgia to kill the bill / law
The Government of Georgia has declined an invitation from the US to discuss strategic partnership and assistance, reports Ekho Kavkazu.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia confirmed receiving the invitation from the Prime Minister. However, before the visit, parliament was supposed to temporarily suspend consideration of the bill On Transparency of Foreign Influence.

Then Russia has a right to strike British territory with Chinese, North Korean weapons.
This illustrates another problem with this war - recognizing the scale of operations.
10 yards X 365 days X 2.25 years is a little over 4.5 miles.
It is much, much further than 4.5 miles to Berlin.
That's just one problem with the "quality" of the coverage by the MSM. Heck, if it was a GOP admin in charge the lack of auditors and oversight on money and material would be at the top of coverage every day.
That is how escalation works - when the only action that is considered is more of the same - you get more of the same.
At some point - if pushed far enough - yep - Chinese and or NK missiles hitting the UK - but not from Russia - but from China and NK - the simple LOGICAL END POINT of non-stop escalation.

No worries, just a difference in opinion.
Current Ukraine, no. Ukraine before US/Western influence, who onows.
A somewhat general and simplistic view of war. Actual armed conflict is only one factor in the overall event. Taking "ground" is one measure - winning battles another - destruction of a nations ability to continue the war. Eventually - it always it ends at a table and some "agreement" is worked out - or imposed.
This Russia vs US (and team) is in many respects the first act in what could be considered WW3.
You have the US with a team of some 40+ other nations in direct and indirect conflict with Russia.
100% Economic war as has never been done before. And every indication that the EU via a number of 10 year security agreements plans to keep this going.
But as wars go - at only 2+ years - we are still in the "first inning". Just look back (yes I know it was memory holed) at the Afghanistan war - TWENTY YEARS+ and the US effectively controlled (had taken) most of the land - won 99% of the battles - AND LOST. We could even go back to the VN "conflict" which lasted over 10 Years - the US controlled the South - won most of the battles and LOST. Taking land and winning battles is not the only measure / factor.
This US (EU/NATO) war with Russia is far from over. It could go any of a number of different ways. From the US walking away (normal action) and handing it off to the EU to deal with. Or jumping in 100%.
Only 2 Years into WW3 - just the opening - lots yet to come.

Two years is a little short - its actually going on eleven years.
The "first inning" was the Maidan Civil War in 2013 and the bottom of the first was Russia annexing Crimea in 2014.
And while there is possibly the potential for this maybe going a number of different ways,
you have to take into account the personality of these people managing Washington. They do not negotiate and they will not alter trajectory.

“Contrary to widespread assumptions, Ukraine does not lack people to mobilize. (According to one recent analysis, there could be several million additional Ukrainians who are able to serve.) What it has lacked is an effective recruitment & training system”
“Russia will likely be most dangerous in the final months of 2024. By that point, having weathered months of Russian offensive operations, Ukrainian forces will be stretched thin, their air defenses depleted. Russia will likely have enough troops to rotate its units”
“For Moscow to truly negotiate, it must be confronted with a situation in which extending the conflict further will present an unacceptable threat to itself. It is only then that Ukraine will be able to extract meaningful concessions.”

Yes - this new narrative has been getting push out the last few weeks - plus we also have women who can serve - add a few million more to the pool.
This is being tossed out to counter the clear reporting across Western media - and even Ukrainian reports on the extreme shortage of troops. How without massive (500k more or less) replacements the army can not survive. BUT NOT TO WORRY there are still MILLIONS waiting to step up (with a bit of help).
Problem is ALL the Ukrainians who were willing to fight and die for "Z" are gone.
What is remaining are not lining up at the requirement centers but doing ALL they can to avoid a draft notice.
Most of the "legal" loopholes are getting closed up or men are running out of money to buy their way out. Ukraine is reported to be increasing by a factor of 4X the number of border guards - TO KEEP PEOPLE IN ! Pressure on the EU to send men back to Ukraine. So while YES on paper there appears to be plenty - but for a range of reasons they can not be pulled into the military. Then you have the training problem - you can't send them to EU nations they take off. Last stats on this was up to 30% disappeared from training bases. Currently none are being sent out for EU training for this reason.
Like EVERY other objective fact on the problems Ukraine is having - the same narrative - action is being taken to correct it - give us a few months and all will be good.
