Forever Wars: NATO greatly increases taxpayer funding, expands global ammo supply, forms ‘Birds Coalition’ with Ukraine!

NATO=North Atlantic Treaty Organization, “…was founded in the aftermath of the Second World War.   …countering the threat posed at the time by the Soviet Union.” The Soviet Union ceased to exist on 25DEC1991, yet it seems NATO is still fighting that war.

“The biggest thing that has happened in the world in my life, in our lives, is this: By the grace of God, America won the Cold War.”-George H. W. Bush, President of the United States, 1992 State of the Union Address

Joint statements by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin the Third, in which it is revealed that taxpayer funding for NATO is being greatly increased; the original 2% maximum of GDP funding is now considered “a minimum” for defense spending. NATO video released 15JUN2023:

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says “All allies stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.” Ukrainian Minister of Defense, Oleksii Reznikov, reveals formation of ‘Birds Coalition’ to begin training on F-16 Falcon aircraft in Netherlands and Denmark, as well as yet-to-be specified ‘testing’ with Sweden. NATO video released on 15JUN2023:

NATO Deputy Secretary General, Mircea Geoană, praises the expansion of NATO’s Multinational Ammunition Warehousing Initiative (MAWI). It is not just about the war with Russia, but the fact that NATO is rapidly expanding its operation around the world. NATO video released 15JUN2023:

Cold War to Battle for Ukraine: Slovak BMP (BVP) & OT-90

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

During the ‘Cold War’, Czech-o-Slovakia was one country created by the victors of World War Two by forcing Slovakia and Czech Republic together (just as they did after World War One).  Czech-o-Slovakia became a member of the Warsaw Pact in response to the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

In the Czech-o-Slovak language the BMP became Bojové Vozidlo Pěchoty (BVP), which means basically the same thing as the Russian BMP; Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV).  Like most users of the BMP/BVP, Czech-o-Slovakia made many different versions, including their unique OT-90.

According to the current Ministry of Defense of Czech Republic (aka Chechia), the OT-90 was developed to carry a squad of infantry equipped with anti-aircraft weapons.

The large turret of the BMP/BVP was replaced with a smaller turret (same used on the Czech-o-Slovak designed OT-64 armored car), to make room for the specialized anti-aircraft weapons.

After the so-called Cold War ended, Czech Republic and Slovakia went their separate ways, and since there was no more Soviet-Warsaw Pact, they both joined NATO (NATO felt it necessary to remain in existence, even though its stated enemy the Soviet Union no longer existed). Today’s NATO-Czechia replaced their OT-90s with NATO-United Kingdom designed Land Rover vehicles. NATO-Slovakia still uses the OT-90.

End of Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: Those decades when U.S. taxpayers supplied Russia with USAID!

USAID photo, date and location not given.

According to U.S. federal government sources, the official date of the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), and the end of the undeclared Cold War, was December 1991. But even before that, in December 1990, the United States had begun distributing taxpayer funded humanitarian aid to the Soviet Union, via the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Project HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere).

USAID photo, date and location not given, but you can see by the 1980s Ford pick-up marked with the Marriott Hotel logo that it’s possibly somewhere in the U.S.

Russian Ilyushin Il-76 (NATO reporting name Candid) cargo planes were allowed onto U.S. territory to be loaded with Project HOPE supplies. I assume that the USAID photos seen here are from the December 1990 to December 1991 period, as the planes still carry the flag of the Soviet Union on their tails.

Tail-end of Russian Il-76 filled with Project HOPE supplies. USAID photo.

I discovered that USAID itself does not talk about the deliveries to the USSR during the last year of the Cold War, referring only to the former republics (like Russia), or the ‘former’ Soviet Union, when talking about their taxpayer funded deliveries.

U.S. taxpayer funded aid increased in 1992, due to the Freedom for Russia and Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets Support Act.

USAID began their official involvement with Ukraine in 1992.

In August 1995, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) published assessments of several USAID operations inside Russia.  It revealed that “Hundreds of U.S. contractors and grantees are responsible for implementing individual projects in the 13 sectors.” Also that “USAID did not adequately manage some projects it funded. The devolution of management and monitoring responsibility from USAID’s Washington office to its Moscow office delayed decision-making and created confusion among contractors. Furthermore, USAID’s management information systems were inadequate, and it did not adequately monitor or coordinate some projects.” 

In September 2012 (the year the Ukraine Crisis actually began, the coup taking place in 2014), USAID announced they were halting their Russian operations at the request of the Russian government. Russia accused USAID of funding/supplying Russian rebels.

Project HOPE was created during the early years of the Cold War, in 1958, by the United States. Its mission statement was to help poorer countries with healthcare needs.

Battle for Ukraine: Direct-Fire, NATO Poland’s Krab

Poland’s Krab is a self-propelled artillery gun, normally an indirect-fire weapon, but can be used as a direct-fire weapon (like a main-battle-tank).  The following images and videos were made during Exercise Dynamic Front, March 2023, in NATO-Denmark.

Robot Wars: China’s self-flying Antonov Maize, a modernized Cold War Aircraft

In April 2022, CCTV-10 aired a two part Innovation and Progress report, showing the development of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) cargo plane, Feihong FH-98.  Part 1:

Part 2:

“The exercise met our expected objective. It is very significant for our unmanned logistics chain in future warfare.”-Bi Guangyuan, executive director in charge of recent testing, June 2019

In June 2019, China’s National Defense University of People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, put to the final tests a new robot cargo aircraft.

Photo via CGTN, 23JUN2019.

The aircraft is unmistakable, it is the only type of its kind, a bi-plane cargo/agricultural aircraft, designed and built in the Soviet Union just after The Great Patriotic War (World War Two).  In 1957, during the non-declared Cold War, Communist China got a license to build the Antonov An-2 Maize (NATO reporting name Colt) as the Yunshu (Yunshuji, later becoming Shifei) Y-5, but this modern version of the Maize has no crew.  The new crewless version of the Maize is called Feihong-98 (FH-98).

In Zhangye, northwestern Gansu Province, the robot An-2/FH-98 had to complete three final tests; fast load 5-hundred kilograms of cargo, a short range airdrop mission, and a long range air drop mission. The tests were declared successful, and China’s PLA now has a viable robot cargo aircraft.

WW3, Vehicle I-D: Serbia’s up-armored BRDM-2MS

Serbia’s new armored reconnaissance vehicle BRDM-2MS is used for surveillance and intelligence gathering, as well as patrols and ambushes.

Photo via Ministry of Defense Republic of Serbia, January 2023.

The BRDM-2MS has the latest gun-sight systems, allowing it to fight at night and in bad weather.  It has a 14.5mm KPVT heavy machine gun with a coaxial 7.62mm PKT light machine gun.  They are stabilized and can hit targets while on-the-move.

Photo via Ministry of Defense Republic of Serbia, January 2023.

The BRDM-2MS is up-armored with side plates 6mm thick and rated to stops bullets up to 12.7mm (.50 caliber).  The frontal plates are rated to stop 14.5mm bullets.  Anti-mine armor has been added to the floor of the vehicle.

The original BRDM used a gasoline fueled motor, the BRDM-2MS uses diesel, which doubles the range of the vehicle.

World War 3: Non-NATO countries attend NATO anti-Russia Meeting! NATO to spread war to Caucasus?

If the United States is the leader of NATO, then why does NATO use British/King’s English grammar/spelling, and not U.S. English?  Even the British Council specializes in teaching the difference between Yankee English and King’s English.

On 14FEB2023, NATO began a huge anti-Russia meeting, called the Meeting of the Defence (King’s English spelling used by NATO) Ministers.  The meeting took place at NATO’s massive headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

The first day of the meeting was actually about the U.S. led 9th Ukraine Defense Contact Group (notice the U.S. spelling of defense). U.S. Department of Defense photo by Chad J. McNeeley, 14FEB2023.

The European Union (EU) is not officially a country, it is considered a supranational political and economic union.  Many of its member countries are also members of NATO, but not all the EU countries are NATO members.  14FEB2023 statements of EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy representative Josep Borrell; the NATO meeting is about Ukraine and Russia, and reveals EU & NATO are willing to spread the war to non-NATO countries Georgia and Moldova:

Ukraine is not a full member of NATO, yet Ukraine’s Defense (U.S. spelling not used by NATO) Minister Oleksii Reznikov is taking part. Towards the end of the video he hints at getting fighter jets from NATO taxpayers, by showing the reporters a handkerchief with the image of a Russian Sukhoi 27 on it:

Sweden is not a full member of NATO, here the Defence Minister of Sweden Pål Jonson answers a question about becoming a member of NATO, on the second day of the meeting, 15FEB2023:

Finland is not a full member of NATO, here is a statement by the Defense Minister of Finland Mikko Savola, second day of meeting, 15FEB2023. Notice that he mentions ‘conscription’, many NATO members force their citizens into the military. In the U.S. this is known as ‘The Draft’, or ‘Being Drafted’, and such practice was ended in 1973, however, adult males are still required to register with what is called the Selective Service:

Opening statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, on second day-15FEB2023, reveals NATO is at war with Russia, NATO is planning for the war to last “for the next few years”, will increase spending on NATO’s military industrial complex, will increase the acquisition of “resources”:

On 10FEB2023, about 50 state militia personnel with the Ohio Army National Guard’s 174th Air Defense Artillery Brigade are deploying to NATO-Europe, it is the unit’s third such ‘rotation’ (what I call revolving-door deployments).

In October 2022, it was revealed that the Ohio Air & Army National Guards are having a hard time meeting recruitment goals:

In September 2022, it was revealed that 1-thousand-8-hundred Ohio militia personnel were being prepped for deployment to Operation Inherent Resolve, in South West Asia (The Middle East)!

4-hundred of those 1800 already deployed:

It should be noted that whenever U.S. forces enter Syria they remove all identifying unit patches from their uniforms.  But what is the point of that if the U.S. Army, itself, is going to publicize the operation?

U.S. Army photo by Sergeant Julio Hernandez, 26JAN2023.

The U.S. Army claims U.S./NATO forces are inside Syria only to train SDF in how to defeat the so-called Islamic State (even though the Syrian government has been kicking ass against the extremists, with the help of Russia).

Never mind that the part of Syria the SDF operates in, and the U.S./NATO forces are based in,  just happens to be in the middle of Syria’s eastern oil/gas field operations.

U.S. Army photo by Sergeant Julio Hernandez, 26JAN2023.

The U.S. Army also admitted that in 2022, at least 108 U.S. led operations were conducted  inside Syria.  It is called  Operation Inherent Resolve.

Operation Inherent Resolve also involves other NATO members, such as Norway’s Telemark Mechanized Infantry Battalion, operating under Task Force Viking.
