One, two, three four Get your ZMan on the floor Gotta gotta get up to get down
Ain't no party like a CIA party cuz the CIA party don't stop...
This ain't a fantastic voyage but we on a mission.
I do believe that somewhere in this godforsaken thread it has been pointed out to PGOS, multiple times, by we Putin cocksuckers that this is Joey’s War and he will tell Z-Boy when Ukrainians can stop dying.
This is PGOS's dream world. Then there is the real world in which Europe has no interest in defending itself and looks to Team America, World Police. And PGOS is happy to play the chump.
There’s only one small problem; they don’t know where they’re going to get the weapons and ammunition.
“The current rate of consumption compared to the current rate of production of ammunition,” NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said in early March, “is not sustainable.”
But the problem isn’t just manufacturing bullets and shells. It’s a problem of figuring out how much every NATO nation has to give in men, money, and material. And that has proved difficult in the past.
“If there’s not somebody hosting the potluck and telling everybody what to bring, then everyone would bring potato chips because potato chips are cheap, easy to get,” said James J. Townsend Jr., a former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for European and NATO policy.
“Nations,” he added, “would rather bring potato chips.”
When the NATO alliance went to war in Afghanistan, it was amusing to see many of the countries eagerly volunteering for duty at the Kabul airport. They all wanted to contribute “potato chips” to the war effort. How will this latest effort at demonstrating NATO solidarity work?
Politico:
But the process could get tricky. Why? Because moving so quickly, even given a month, requires lots of people, equipment and training — and lots of money.
Some militaries will have to up their recruitment efforts. Many allies will have to increase defense spending. And everyone will have to buy more weapons, ammunition and equipment.
Ben Hodges, former commander of U.S. Army Europe, said that “readiness” is “basically, do you have all the stuff you’re supposed to have to do the mission assigned to a unit of a particular size?”
“An artillery battalion needs to shoot X number of rounds per year for planning purposes in order to maintain its level of proficiency,” he said. A tank battalion needs to hit targets, react to different situations and “demonstrate proficiency on the move, day and night, hitting targets that are moving.”
From what we saw of NATO in Afghanistan, I am not confident that this plan to augment forces on the Russian border will amount to much. NATO countries will find ways to avoid their responsibilities rather than fulfill their obligations.
And that includes meeting the critical need for more ammunition.
“We have tended to try to stockpile munitions on the cheap … it’s just grossly inadequate,” said Stacie Pettyjohn, director of the defense program at the Center for a New American Security. “I think the problems that our allies have in NATO are even more acute because many of them often rely on the U.S. as sort of the backstop.” [AKA "Chumps"]
Sound familiar? Any NATO plan for more troops and equipment ultimately means more U.S. troops and more U.S. equipment.
Once NATO’s military plans are done, capitals will be asked to weigh in — and eventually make available troops, planes, ships and tanks for different parts of the blueprints.
A test for NATO will come this summer when leaders of the alliance’s 30 member countries meet in Lithuania.
“We are asking the nations — based on the findings we have out of our three regional plans — what we need to make these plans … executable,” said the senior NATO military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive planning.
“I think the most difficult thing,” the official added, “is the procurement.”
Hey, PGOS: The New Narrative is already out. Ukraine is cooked.
The WAPO, NYT and even your senile butt-buddy Biden's admin are all trying to distance themselves from your "war of aggression" against Ukraine.
Sounds grim
Bodies like cordwood?
Supposed to be funny? Yes. Rows upon rows of dead Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.
Hilarious. Punk.
Any day now Bahkmut will fall. Pretty impressive. Like the US struggling to take Tiajuana. Very impressive.
It will be even more hilarious to see you make excuses and cope when Ukraine starts taking back land with Leopard tanks, Challenger tanks, and Bradley's.
It's clear who you want to succeed here. The fascist invading regime.
Fucking idiot puppet
It takes a very special level of stupidity to label Communists as Fascists.
PGOS, what do you think about Z-Boy forcing men into the military to be used as fodder at the front? The US/UK puppet masters just saw to it that no ceasefire would happen.
I’ve been right all along and you’ve been suckered.

Putin Bad.
Zalensky? Slightly less bad?
Sure. Bet your blood and treasure on that sure thing. Right.

How long before we see all of the little warmongers on Twitter disappear their Ukraine flags when the world begins to learn of the carnage Joey allowed.
“But they were fighting to save their DeMoCrAcY!!!!”

So neocon Sen. Cornyn went all in, going after DeSantis for calling Ukraine/Russia a "territorial dispute." Sean Davis of the Federalist chimed in and of course Cornyn went with the Neville Chamberlain burn. When Davis challenged him to debate, Cornyn's office said he was too "busy." These MIC slaves just never change their stripes.

BRITAIN’S SHRINKING MILITARY — FROM COLD WAR COLOSSUS TO CASH-STRAPPED SHADOW. New video from historian Mark Felton:
A level of stupidity that only PGOS can muster.
Millions of deaths.
