Welcome to borderland hell under the U.S. President, highly incomplete (just the tip of the iceberg) list of videos and links to news/government agency reports as of 24 March 2022:

The number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border illegally has jumped again in recent weeks, stretching capacity and stirring fears.

Biden admin okays mass releases of Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans into U.S.

On 24MAR2022, while in Brussel, Belgium (the capitol of European Union and NATO), President Joe Biden announced U.S. taxpayers will spend several billions of dollars on supporting Ukraine and building-up NATO. Also, 100-thousand Ukrainians will be brought in the U.S.:

World War 3: Japan sides with United States & Ukraine, has never made peace with Russia!

Video March 17, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Many people don’t know that Japan and the Soviet Union never made peace with each other after the Second World War (which Japan started years before Germany fired a shot). Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991/92, Russian and Japanese officials could not bring themselves to settle their differences regarding the territorial disputes as a result of the end of the Second World War.

For the past decade, Russia has built-up military forces on islands that are almost a stone’s throw from Hokkaido.

On 16MAR2022, Japan threw its hat into the Ukraine Crisis ring, on the side of Ukraine, sending a shipment of supplies onboard a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globmaster-3.

U.S. Army video interview, 01FEB2022, Lieutenant Colonel Mario Iglesias explains what is new about the new M2A4 Bradley:

It should be noted that profits made from the sale of Bradleys goes to the British empire, as the Bradley, once made by a U.S. company, is now made by United Kingdom’s BAE Systems. BAE began to aggressively take over U.S. defense companies in 2001, the same year that the undeclared War on Terror began.

Then on 11MAR2022, the Hound Battalion got new upgraded M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams battle tanks.

Another video I edited from The Big Picture about the USA 3rd Armored Division in NATO Germany, late 1960s, showing the short barreled M109 (there was no nat-sound, and the narration is terrible so I edited it out):

Silent USA film by ‘Jensen’, M109 action Khe Sanh area, Viet Nam, August 1970:

With the M109A1, the short M126 barrel was replaced with the long M185 cannon. From A1 through A4 series there is no visual difference, the upgrades being internal. If you’ll notice, some photos show a protruding panoramic periscope, while others do not, and it does not matter if it is an A1, A2, A3 or A4. The A5 variant got a more powerful motor, and a new M284 gun of apparently the same length as the M185, visually similar to its predecessors.

It was seen again, very briefly, in a ReForGer (Return of Forces to Germany) wargame, where European tank-o-philes speculated that the USA had created a new anti-aircraft tank.

By 2019, a new, so called, M109 began arriving for duty with the U.S. Army (USA). In 2021, Army National Guard units began getting their new ‘M109s’. Many military armchair ‘experts’ who get paid to write articles for military themed journals call the ‘A7’ an “upgrade” of the A6. I do not consider the new M109A7 Paladin to be an ‘upgrade’, nor do I consider it to be a true M109 as it uses a completely new hull/chassis that is based on the M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, as well as a completely new gun system.

Even in 2021, U.S. Department of Defense media personnel still get it wrong! This video, posted on 09JUN2021, shows Royal Moroccan M109s, obviously the A1 through A5 type, yet it was labeled as “Royal Moroccan Armed Forces Paladin” (the A6 is the true Paladin).

World War 3: Russia digs in, flies old Soviet flag! Deploying its newest weapon systems into Donbas/Kiev Ukraine!

Video March 9, 2022 Hutchins AAron

T-72B3 flying the old flag of the U.S.S.R.! Near the village of Rybinskoye. Notice this vehicle is marked with an ‘O’.

Perhaps because of the capture of documents revealing a massive offensive against Russia, Russia is now flooding the Donbas and Kiev Areas of Operations (AO) with more and newer military equipment. What I found interesting is that one of the videos shows Russian BMP-2s carrying old Soviet Union flags!

This ‘V’ marked tank is the latest T-90M.

I think the ‘V’ indicates Kiev AO. Posted 09MAR2022, masses of BMP-2s, T-72B3s, BM-21 Grads, 2S3s:

‘V’ marked T-72B3.

Posted 07MAR2022, ‘V’ marked support vehicles pour into Kiev AO, Ukraine:

Posted on 06MAR2022, ‘V’ marked BMD-2s, T-72s, MTLBs:

‘V’ marked T-90M and BMP-2:

In the Donbas AO, ‘Z’ marked newer military gear is coming in. I think the ‘Z’ is from a new Russo-Ukrainian word ZaНАШИХ, or За НАШИХ (ZaNASHIKH), which means For Ours. This is a way of saying the Donbas area is Russian. It could also mean For Victory, which is Зa ПОБЕДУ, or ZaПОБЕДУ (ZaPOBEDU).

Operation Jupiter: Evidence captured in Ukraine reveals massive U.S. led global biological warfare op! I’ve been warning about this since 2015!

Russia claims to have damning evidence the U.S. was using Ukraine for biological warfare experiments in at least thirty Ukrainian biological laboratories. It is yet more evidence of a massive global biological warfare program commanded by the U.S. Army’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), that I’ve been reporting since 2015, when I discovered a U.S. military operation called JUPITR ATD. Russia also accuses NATO members like Germany and Poland, and the NATO protectorate Georgia, of being involved in Ukrainian biologic experiments.

In this Russian Ministry of the Defense of Russia video, posted 07MAR2022, it was also discovered that DTRA ops in Ukraine ramped up in 2014 (after the pro-NATO ‘revolution’) and that since then there have been outbreaks of numerous diseases in Ukraine, to the point the United Nations’ World Health Organization (UN-WHO) says you don’t want to go there. Russia says the U.S. biological experiments violates international law and is a war crime:
