World War 3: NATO Response Force deploys, but not for Ukraine?

NATO has deployed its Response Force for the first time.  Keep in mind that members of NATO are officially called “member states” indicating that NATO is not just a ‘defensive’ military pact, but is a pseudo-government!

NATO press conference, 04MAR2022, in which it is clear NATO is not going to fight for Ukraine, saying “We are not part of this conflict, and we have a responsibility to ensure it does not escalate and spread beyond Ukraine.”:

On 03MAR2022, NATO Canada updated its laundry list of military stuff Canadian taxpayers are going to give to Ukraine (now approaching hundreds of millions of Canadian dollars).

On 03MAR2022, NATO France reported that for the first time C-130J cargo planes crewed by both French and NATO German crews began flying missions to NATO Romania.

On 03MAR2022, Germany posted a video hyping-up its part in the NATO Response Force:

On 01MAR2022, the NATO U.S. Army reported that for the first time they have activated their Army Prepositioned Stock-2 sites (open-area warehouses of military vehicles and weapons), at several locations in Western Europe, to equip the masses of troops being sent in from NATO United States!

At the beginning of March, NATO France deployed some of its Rafale jets to help patrol over NATO Poland.

At the end of February, NATO United Kingdom began ‘forward deploying’ its Royal Welsh armor units in NATO Germany into NATO Estonia.  Royal Air Force jets based in Cyprus are now patrolling over NATO Poland and NATO Romania.  The Royal Navy is sending ships from NATO U.K. to patrol the Baltic Sea.

Biden’s War: FEBRUARY ARMY/AIR FORCE DEPLOYMENTS & REDEPLOYMENTS!

World War 3: CHINA WARNS that UKRAINE CRISIS IS A DIVERSION, TRUE GOAL OF Australia-United-Kingdom-United-States (AUKUS) IS WAR WITH CHINA!

 

Vehicle I-D: What happens when both sides use the same weapons?

Ukraine is the birthplace of Russia.  Today’s larger Russia expanded out of Ukraine.  In the 20th Century the new Union of Soviet Socialist Republics allowed the creation of a separate Soviet Republic of Ukraine. It was during the time of the Soviet Union that Ukraine became a major manufacturer of weapon systems for the U.S.S.R.  In 1991, Ukraine lead the collapse of the Soviet Union by declaring independence.  Then there was the creation of the European Union (EU).  Both the EU and NATO have been actively involved in ‘behind-the-scenes’ influence of the Ukrainian government, for decades now.  Despite that, even today Russia and Ukraine use the same type of major weapon systems.  How do you tell them apart during combat?

This T-64BV is not marked, but carries large Russian and Donbas militia flags.

Russia has obviously thought about that because their ground vehicles, along with the military ground vehicles of Donetsk Republic and Lugansk (Luhansk) Republic have been given unique operational markings.  They look like Latin alphabet letters but are not.  They also indicate the Area of Operation (AO); North in Kiev Oblast, or South in Donbas.

Video from the end of February 2022, Donbas-Lugansk Republic militia and their trucks, BMP-1s and 2S1 SP Guns, all marked with ‘Z’, waiting for orders to move-out:

Somewhere in Donbas.

In the Southern, Donbas area of operation (AO), Russian, Lugansk and Donetsk tracked and wheeled vehicles are marked with a ‘Z’.

Ukrainian made KrAZ armored car, in use by local Donbas forces.

Video of Russians meeting with Lugansk Republic troops, 03MAR2022:

T-64BV somewhere in Donbas.

Video report, posted on 03MAR2022, Ukrainian Ground Forces abandoned a T-64BV, Lugansk Republic forces quickly claimed it by spraying ‘Z‘ symbols on it, and working to repair it for their own use (it was one of two abandoned T-64BVs, the video also shows an abandoned BRDM-2):

Abandoned Ukrainian T-64BV, now in the hands of the Donbas militias as indicated by the ‘Z’ painted on the skirts.

In the Northern Kiev Oblast AO the vehicles are marked with a ‘V’. Video of ‘V‘ marked Russian BMPs, BRTs and T-72B3s entering the Kiev Oblast of Ukraine from Belarus, the road sign gives the location away as the Gomel (Homiel) Oblast, Belarus-Kiev Oblast, Ukraine border crossing (heading towards Chernobyl Exclusion Zone?), 03MAR2022:

When you see a Western news report about Russian activities, if they are talking about Kiev AO (Area of Operation), but the images show vehicles with ‘Z‘ on them then the images are actually from the Donbas AO.

World War 3, False Flag: China warns Ukraine Crisis is a diversion, true goal of AUKUS is war with China!

“What the U.S. report says about China’s Taiwan region is a gross interference in China’s internal affairs and violation of the one-China principle and the basic norms governing international relations. We are firmly opposed to that.”-Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, China’s Ministry of National Defense, 24FEB2022

“If a nation’s defense authorities are obsessed with confrontation and deliberately make waves in the South China Sea, what it will lose is not just the next decade, but also its international credibility and the opportunities to cooperate with regional countries.”-Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, China’s Ministry of National Defense, 24FEB2022, referring to the recently created U.S., U.K. and Australia military pact called AUKUS (Australia United Kingdom United States)

On 18FEB2022, communist China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) published an article essentially calling Joe Biden a war monger, because ever since he took-over from Donald Trump the number of U.S. military deployments overseas has increased (despite the sudden withdrawal from Afghanistan) especially in the Indo-Pacific, and for ulterior reasons: “Meanwhile, as it always views Russia as the most pressing realistic threat, hyping up the Russian threat to Ukraine can fuel up the tension between Russia and European countries, make Europe more dependent on America’s security protection, and therefore justify its reinforcements to the continent.

America’s obsession with the power of force and insistence on sending more troops overseas despite its overall decline is neither good for itself nor conducive to world peace and stability. It will only find itself the target of more criticism and objection if it continues to cling to the Cold War mindset…” 

On 16FEB2022, the PLA published an article criticizing the U.S.-Australia alliance, saying it was a continuance of the Cold War: “…both the US and Australia adhere to the Cold War mentality and narrow geopolitical concept, hyping the so-called China threat to seek excuses for the strengthening of their alliance. This is against the trend of the times, not conducive to regional security and stability, and against the will of most countries in the Asia Pacific region for peaceful development…”

On 07FEB2022, Tennessee Army National Guard militia were on Fort Bliss, Texas, completing hastened deployment training to an undisclosed location.  The military police militia from Tennessee recently found out that their original deployment location was suddenly changed, and for some reason their training has been rushed: “A week ago we found out we are going to a different location. The Soldiers took it in stride. They are very resilient.”-First Lieutenant Timothy Sanders, Company Commander, 268th Military Police Company, Tennessee Army National Guard

“This upcoming mission is very unique. Every single Soldier going on this mission volunteered for it. They want to be here. They are excited. We are the first members of the Tennessee National Guard to do this mission. We accelerated the training and are already validated 100% across the board.”-First Sergeant R.J. Phelps, 268th Military Police Company, Tennessee Army National Guard

Germany destroys U.S. bombers in Ukraine!

During the night, the German Luftwaffe destroyed several U.S. bombers on the ground of Poltava Airbase in Ukraine.  The U.S. bombers, of the 452nd Bomb Group, had arrived from United Kingdom as part of a ‘shuttle’ mission (aka Shuttle Raid).

The attack took place on 21JUN1944.  Interestingly, the U.S. Army’s  8th Air Force claims they did not receive the photo negatives until December 1945, the photos of the destroyed B-17s were not even released in the United States until 22JUL1949, kept secret years after the war ended by the U.S. Air Force Historical Office!

The 8th Air Force was using Poltava Airbase as a rest & recovery area for its bombers and crews, after conducting bombing missions against Germany, and other targets in Eastern Europe, during the Second World War.

According to the Historical Museum of the U.S. Air Force, 21JUN1944 was also the first time B-17s were used for Shuttle Raids.  I did find a photo dated April 1944 showing a B-17 on Poltava, but it doesn’t indicate if it was taking part in a Shuttle Raid.

During World War Two, Ukraine was one of the dozens of republics who were part of the Soviet Union, as was Russia.

Biden’s War: Is NATO Europe unassing Africa to prep for war with Russia? Why is Russia so interested in Africa?

To ‘unass’ (un-ass) means the bull-rider gets off the bull, or to get-the-hell-outta Dodge.

19 February 2022  (19:42-UTC-07 Tango 06) 30 Bahman 1400/17 Rajab 1443/19 Ren-Yin 4720

In July 2021 I revealed U.S. President Biden’s SECRET NEW AFGHAN-AFRICAN REFUGEE OPERATION.  I understood the Afghan part, after almost two decades of not really getting anywhere, spending a hell-of-a-lot of tax dollars and shedding a lot of blood, Biden had approved a sudden withdrawal of U.S./NATO forces from the Central Asian country, but what did the continent of Africa have to do with it?

For almost a decade, NATO Europe has been dealing with a tsunami of migrants coming from Africa.  Ironically, it is precisely the European, Canadian and United States NATO ‘peacekeeping’ operations that have ramped-up volatility in central and Northern Africa, to the point that people would rather risk dying during an escape to Europe, than to stay in their home countries.  African migrants are even traveling to Colombia, in South America, before starting their long caravans North to the United States.

Since January of this year, it appears that NATO is losing control of the Central African region of the second-largest and second-most populous continent on this planet, with new found resources and potentially the largest economy in the world.

In the past couple of days, NATO France announced it was unassing the African country of Mail, literally telling the government of Mali it was on its own.  This involves other NATO European members and NATO Canada.

The area of Africa that NATO is unassing is known as The Sahel.  It has long been part of the so called War on Terror against ‘extremists’, but since the beginning of the Gregorian year several countries in that area have experienced military coups.

It also turns out that Russia has increased its operations in The Sahel.

Days ago Biden issued an executive order to steal $7-billion from Afghanistan’s central bank, allegedly to fund his Afghan & African refugee operation!

Does this mean Biden is thinking of a sudden pull-out of U.S. personnel?  Recent news releases by the U.S. Department of Defense makes it look like the U.S. is making its Africa operations a permanent deployment.

On 18FEB2022, the U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa released a video, by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Daniel Charest, explaining Cutlass Express 2022:

New Cold War 2022: Russia deploys to Belarus, preps for invasion by NATO!

“So will there be a war or not? Yes, there will be, but only in two cases: if Belarus suffers a direct aggression, if a hot war is unleashed against our Belarus. We will stand united as one – even those who don’t want to – to defend our land and our homeland.  And the second possibility, when a war may happen and Belarus will take part in it: if our ally Russia suffers a direct attack, if such aggression is committed against the Russian Federation. The grounds for that are our allied agreements.”-Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus, quoted by TASS Russian News Agency

Since 19JAN2022, Russian forces (Eastern Military District ground and air units, and Pacific Fleet ground units) began arriving in the Republic of Belarus, which is just north of Ukraine. The official reason is to ‘inspect’ Belarusian forces for readiness, which is expected to take until the end of February.  Russian officials say it is in compliance with the Vienna Document of 2011.

Sometime during the non-declared Cold War.

This photo was released in the United States in late 1986-early 1987 (date when photo was made is not known). The U.S./NATO called it the M-1973 SMP 1987 152mm Howitzer, of course it is the 2S3.

To make things more confusing, U.S./NATO also called the 2S3 the SAU-152.

This photo was released in the United States in late 1986-early 1987 (date when photo was made is not known). In this photo release the U.S./NATO correctly called it the 2S3 152mm self-propelled howitzer.
