Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov announced just minutes ago "The geographical objectives of the special operation have changed, now it is not only the DPR and LPR, but also a number of other territories."
Developing check back
UPDATE 11:18 AM EDT --
MORE . . .
Lavrov said that Luhansk and Donetsk are not longer the sole objective of the Special Military Operation; other areas are also now an objective. He did not specify which areas, but observers suggest that everything east of the Dnieper River . . . meaning the entire eastern half of what is now Ukraine, may now be the actual objective.
Lavrov also said "If the West continues to supply Kiev with longer-range weapons, the geographical objectives of the special operation in Ukraine will move even further than they just have."

information. Knowledgeable people reporting

clandestinely, carrying omnious implications one of the One of the last callers voiced the suspicion
that america would possibly strike Russia FIRST.
We are living in dangerous times.
Stay alert.
Thanks for a jam packed two hours.
but the verbiage pouring out
of the mouths of our, and NATO's
leadership, makes one sence they know
something we don't know.
A hidden strategy, so to speak.
They can't be as dumb, and vacuous
that innocuous as they sound.
Are they possibly planning a first strike?
They wouldn't be talking so assuredly
about battlefield victory if
something serious wasn't in the planning.
That the West might launch a secret
attack against Russia, as one of the last
Wednesday night callers suggested,
rings true.
Dude, you get it through your head; WE KNOW THAT.
The "support" you've been seeing is exclusively against Ukraine, ok?
Regardless of the Russians' plans and intentions for elsewhere (which we already know about), in the very particular case of Ukraine, they are in the right.
8 years ago, the ukes started killing Russians inside of ukraine and the Russians did the right thing and defended them. The ukrainians just stepped it up a notch, and sought the backing of NATO, and NATO gladly "helped" for a chance to get their missiles within a 5 minute flight time of Moscow, and that's where we are today.
You just can't seem to wrap your head around the idea that even a broken clock gives the correct time twice a day, and in this case Russia is right. Other cases are another subject.
They have reached the point where they are ready to say "Let's end this now"
They have been called they bad guys all my life. They are people just like you and me who just want to live their lives in peace. Enough! Let's make them a proper trade partner, prosper, and everyone go home to their families happy!
The Capacity of the West’s Industrial Base
The winner in a prolonged war between two near-peer powers is still based on which side has the strongest industrial base. A country must either have the manufacturing capacity to build massive quantities of ammunition or have other manufacturing industries that can be rapidly converted to ammunition production. Unfortunately, the West no longer seems to have either.
Presently, the US is decreasing its artillery ammunition stockpiles. In 2020, artillery ammunition purchases decreased by 36% to $425 million. In 2022, the plan is to reduce expenditure on 155mm artillery rounds to $174 million. This is equivalent to 75,357 M795 basic ‘dumb’ rounds for regular artillery, 1,400 XM1113 rounds for the M777, and 1,046 XM1113 rounds for Extended Round Artillery Cannons. Finally, there are $75 million dedicated for Excalibur precision-guided munitions that costs $176K per round, thus totaling 426 rounds. In short, US annual artillery production would at best only last for 10 days to two weeks of combat in Ukraine. If the initial estimate of Russian shells fired is over by 50%, it would only extend the artillery supplied for three weeks.
The US is not the only country facing this challenge. In a recent war game involving US, UK and French forces, UK forces exhausted national stockpiles of critical ammunition after eight days.
Unfortunately, this is not only the case with artillery. Anti-tank Javelins and air-defence Stingers are in the same boat. The US shipped 7,000 Javelin missiles to Ukraine – roughly one-third of its stockpile – with more shipments to come. Lockheed Martin produces about 2,100 missiles a year, though this number might ramp up to 4,000 in a few years. Ukraine claims to use 500 Javelin missiles every day.
The expenditure of cruise missiles and theatre ballistic missiles is just as massive. The Russians have fired between 1,100 and 2,100 missiles. The US currently purchases 110 PRISM, 500 JASSM and 60 Tomahawk cruise missiles annually, meaning that in three months of combat, Russia has burned through four times the US annual missile production. The Russian rate of production can only be estimated. Russia started missile production in 2015 in limited initial runs, and even in 2016 the production runs were estimated at 47 missiles. This means that it had only five to six years of full-scale production.
If competition between autocracies and democracies has really entered a military phase, then the arsenal of democracy must radically improve its approach to the production of materiel in wartime
(RUSI)
Ummm....NO. What artillery (shells/rockets) that are being added are overwhelmingly guided. The exact numbers vary by year. Existing unguided rounds are being converted to guided rounds.
This is a change in doctrine for the US.
Unguided fires are largely being abandoned....since one guided round can often do the work of dozens of unguided rounds in destroying enemy equipment (vehicles, artillery, etc). Attacks against infantry are similarly now conducted at longer range with MLRS cluster munitions, where one round can cover a football field.
American doctrine is NOT to throw as many unguided rounds as Russia does. They have no other option given the technological limits of their production base (i.e....their THREE chip fabs vs America's 100). We do have options.
http://www.ocnus.net/artman2/publish/Defence_Arms_13/Logistics-The-War-Reserve-Stockpile-War.shtml
The nature of these war reserves has changed a lot since the 1990s. For one thing, the widespread use of GPS/INS guided shells and rockets since the late 1990s has led to most artillery being retired. One guided shell or rocket can do the work of dozens of unguided projectiles. The validity of this was proven time and again while fighting Islamic terrorists since 2001. This included 2016-18 battles against ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) where the Islamic terrorists were defending urban areas the same way a conventional force would, but smart shells and rockets were used effectively and frequently rather than the older tactic of using far more unguided shells and rockets. In both cases, the urban areas are destroyed but with guided projectiles, it is done with more precision and that enables the friendly ground forces to advance more rapidly and with fewer casualties than in the past. Because of the battles with ISIL in Iraq and Syria, the effectiveness of fewer guided projectiles replacing many more unguided ones was proven and ammunition stockpiles could be adjusted accordingly. Russia has some guided shells, but cannot afford to stockpile many of them and they are less effective than American designs.
Over the last five years, U.S. Army orders for 155mm artillery shells were up from 16,573 for 2018 to 148,287 for 2019 because of the guidance option. In 2020 the emphasis switched to GPS guided 227mm rockets (GMLRS) and upgrades for the longer range 600mm ATACMS guided rocket. In 2020 the army has ordered 10,193 GMLRS rockets versus 8,101 in 2019 and 6,936 in 2018. In that time the Army discovered that it was easier to use the longer range (70 kilometers or more) GMLRS than trying to develop longer range tube-based artillery. The need here was to match longer range artillery developed and put in service by Russia and China. Even with longer barrels and rocket-assisted shells artillery could not reach as far as GMLRS. Moreover, jamming the GPS signal is a less effective enemy option with the much-improved microchip-based INS (Inertial Guidance System) long used as a less accurate backup in weapons using GPS for projectile guidance. The new INS is nearly as accurate as GPS and if you have to be sure-fire two or three GMLRS at the same target. That works, especially since INS cannot be jammed.
There is still a need for guided and unguided 155mm artillery shells. To provide choice the army has been ordering many more of the PGK (Projectile Guidance Kit) 155mm fuze. The PGK fuze turns an unguided 155mm shell into a GPS/INS guided one. These were found to be exceptionally useful in Syria and Iraq and, in mid-2017, the U.S. Army ordered another 5,600 PGK fuzes and has been building a large stockpile. The army still uses unguided artillery shells for situations that don’t require precise accuracy for each shell but the PGK provides options that can be implemented quickly to turn any “dumb” shell into a smart one. It is unknown if any of these PGK fuzes have been sent to Ukraine.
In a recent French, GB, US war game the UK exhausted it's national critical ammo in 8 days!
In three months of combat Russia fired 1100-2100 missiles, four times the US annual production!
This is beyond treason. If we know this then the Russians certainly do.
BTW, as the Russians entered Berlin in 1945, Hitler gave the order, Destroy everything! We don't even know who is running the country?
All we have is God yet some can't let go of their pet sins. That's why judgment is at the door.
Meanwhile.....they appear to be running out....
https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/05/17/explainer-is-russia-running-low-on-missiles-a77704
"In total, Russia has fired 2,154 missiles at Ukraine since the beginning of the invasion, according to a statement last week by Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky.
But these attacks have become rarer in recent weeks, leading to speculation from Western officials, analysts and media reports that Russia’s missile stocks are running low.
We look at Russia’s use of missiles, whether stocks really are seriously depleted, and what a lack of such munitions could mean for Russian tactics in Ukraine....."
"The West" (including America)? NO.
"The West" (excluding America? YES.
And the low-levels of military funding by most NATO members has been complained about for years in Washington.
If the UK has realized they're not spending enough (on artillery....or anything else).....GOOD.
But if you compare annual production levels or current inventory levels between the US and Russia, RUSSIA is in the bad position, not the US!
Pick a category! Tanks, aircraft, ships....anything.
Russia is being outspent, outproduced, and is comparatively lacking in war reserves.
Let's pick one...naval vessels.....but we could go on all day....

Cruisers (22)

We could do the same with planes, land forces, etc.
The pattern is the same.

FYI My dad took care of my mom for close to 18 years as she would not quit smoking. She passed away because of a major stroke. He would get angry but he stayed with her until she went to heaven. He lived for almost 20 more years and found a girlfriend (platonic relationship). But, he still missed my mom and loved her until he joined her in heaven. Hang on.Prayers.
A war with Iran would be a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions. It would spread swiftly throughout the region. The Shiites across the Middle East would see an attack on Iran as a religious war against Shiism. The two million Shiites in Saudi Arabia, concentrated in the oil-rich Eastern province; the Shiite majority in Iraq; and the Shiite communities in Bahrain, Pakistan and Turkey would join the fight against the U.S. and Israel.
Iran would use its Chinese-supplied anti-ship missiles, rocket and bomb-equipped speedboats and submarines, mines, drones and coastal artillery to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, the corridor for 20 percent of the world’s oil and liquified gas supply. Oil production facilities in the Persian Gulf would be sabotaged.
Iranian oil, which makes up 13 percent of the world’s energy supply, would be taken off the market. Oil would jump to over $500 a barrel and perhaps, as the conflict drags on, to over $750 a barrel. Our petroleum-based economy, already reeling under rising prices because of the sanctions on Russia, would grind to a halt.
Israel would be hit by Iranian Shahab-3 ballistic missiles. Hezbollah’s store of Iranian-supplied rockets that allegedly can reach any part of Israel, including Israel’s nuclear plant at Dimona, would also be deployed. Strikes by Iran and its allies on Israel, as well as on American military installations in the region, would leave hundreds, maybe thousands, dead.

An attempt in 2015 was made by non legislators to create a law using Health Regulations.
It is to lock people up on suspicion of being exposed to a disease. No explanation, discussion, no time limit, no legal involvement.
The current admin lost and is now appealing.
It has no support of the legislators - this is simply an attempt at ignoring the Constitution, the whole legal system - and ruling by decree.

I explain that it can only make Regulations - but in true Catch 22 mode there is one Regulation that says all EU Regulations have the power of law in EU states.
The EU is the Fourth Reich - run by Ursula Von Leyen. As German Defence Minister she boasted she could create an EU army without the people knowing about it - by simply adding billions to the budget each year.
I tell people the EU has had an army for a decade - people say I am wrong. I ask them to google EU Battlegroup.

Who do these multinational corporate and international banking plutocrats (who also run international investment outfits like Vanguard, State Street and Blackrock) and their American political toadies adore? Well, that would be Klaus Schwab, the Kissinger protege of the WEF, who has a bust of V.I. Lenin in his office. (In recent public announcements Herr Schwab has placed a towel over Lenin's despicable image, so as not to alarm the TV viewing mutton.) Interestingly, another plutocrat "capitalist", the late mega-industrialist Armand Hammer also had a bust of Lenin in his office too. There seems to be a pattern here. As Arte Johnson used to say on Laugh In, "Verrrry interesting!"
Hmm, the super wealthy and super powerful "capitalist" elite always seem to fund those "isms" they use as their preferred government model - totalitarian socialism. They control the communists or fascists or "democratic" socialists, doesn't matter much which, just as long as any authoritarian group can assume power for their controlling purposes. On occasion they will have a rogue communist, like Maduro, who doesn't yield to the internationalist plutocrats, so they will push for the ouster of the "bad" communist and install the "good" communist or whatever socialist flavor will work for that situation. You see, the Power Elite, the super wealthy "capitalists", already got their fortune, and they need to shut down economic opportunities for the masses of little people whom they wish to eventually turn from slaves to cadavers. (Yeah, that's right. They don't want us here on their planet.)
Since at least the time of Cecil Rhodes, they have been planning and organizing to control the world they believe they own because they are members of 'The Big Club'. George Carlin, who coined that expression, was a foul-mouthed individual, but he got that right. He mostly understood the machinations of the so-called Elite.
These despotic and despicable super wealthy "capitalists" are hell bent on their conquest for World Government. They intend to use 'The Great Reset' as their primary means of breaking the world down, to soften it up for their New Totalitarian Global Order. Their "softening up" process will also include World War. In its final expression, their One World Government system will be assembled under ten regional blocs:
1) European Union - 1994 (and no, the EU is
not going away)
2) African Union - 2002
3) Eurasian Union - 2015
4) North American Union - 2025?
5) South American Union - 2025?
6) East Asian Union - 2025?
7) Mediterranean Union - 2025?
8) Central Asian Union - 2025?
9) South Asian Union - 2025?
10) Pacific Union - 2025?
"We cannot leap into World Government in one quick step. This requires a process of gradually expanding the range of democratic cooperation...a widening, step by step, stone by stone, of existing relatively narrow zones of stability. The precondition for eventual globalization - genuine globalization - is progressive REGIONALIZATION, because thereby we move toward large, more stable, more cooperative units. (read: more easily controlled than individual nation-states once they've been corralled into a regional pig pen.)"

You refuse to acknowledge this fact.
Instead, you insist that it is an "illegal invasion" and one of "conquest."
Does that make it easier for you to deal with in your little world? Is it easier to think that than to have to grasp that the US and EU fomented this by overthrowing Ukraine's government, installing a puppet government, and working to bring Ukraine into NATO in violation of our repeated promises not to move one inch eastward once east and west Germany were reunified?
Is the actual reality a bit too complex for your little mind to process?
Is it altogether impossible for you to admit that WE are the actual bad guys here and that Russia are the actual good guys?
Maybe you need psychiatric help to better deal with reality.
Exactly, the "Russia Bad" lie is spread by insane fools and accepted by experienced idiots akin to Joe Biden and the great reset.
You must have a good crystal ball miss blue. Maybe you forgot that Putin has a higher U.S. approval rating than Biden.

Is anybody else here still saying that Putin was right to move to Ukraine to protect Russian ethnics in Donbass?
This is exactly the same tactic used by one Adolf Hitler, another antichrist, in Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Poland in 1939, when he initially claimed to be moving into the mixed ethnic border regions of both, to protect the German minority before moving in to capture all of Poland. After gradually swallowing Czechoslovakia without a fight, he used her territory (as well as Slovak armed forces) to invade Poland from the South, as well as from Germany in the West and North on 9/1/1939!
Putin is just copying the military moves of Adolf Hitler from 1938-39, since there is little he can improve on to meet his goals, which like Hitler's include conquering Europe all the way to Vatican, Paris, London and Lisbon!!
Russia will be almost completely burned. Other nations will also disappear. Italy will be saved in part for the Pope. “(April 11, 1952)
“God’s wrath is near and the world will be tormented by great calamities, bloody revolutions, strong earthquakes, famines, epidemics and terrifying hurricanes, which will cause rivers and seas to overflow! The world will be shocked by a new terrible war! The deadliest weapons will destroy peoples and nations. The dictators of the earth, true infernal monsters, will land the Churches with the Sacred Cibori and destroy peoples and nations and the dearest things. In this sacrilegious struggle, due to the ferocious impulse and the relentless resistance, much of everything that has been done by the hand of man will be demolished. Clouds with flashes of fire will finally appear in the sky and a storm of fire will strike the whole world. The terrible scourge, never seen in the history of humanity, will last seventy hours. The wicked will be pulverized and many will be lost in the obstinacy of their sin. Then you will see the power of light over the power of darkness. “ (April 16, 1955)
From the 1959 message from Our Lady:
“There will be a true and great duel between me and Satan … Materialism advances fast in all nations and continues its march marked by blood and death! … If men do not return to God, a great war from east to west, war of terror and death, and finally the purifying fire will fall from the sky like snowflakes on all peoples and a large part of humanity will be destroyed. Russia will march on all the nations of Europe, particularly Italy and will raise its flag on the dome of St. Peter’s … The world has become like a flooded valley full of debris and mud! It will still be at the mercy of the harshest trials of divine justice, before the infernal flame blazes on all of humanity … Great calamities will come into the world, which will bring confusion, tears and pain for all
Count me in the number that supports Putin in his move against Ukraine and NATO. If the facts don't make you support him just know that if Biden is against Putin we can't side with anything that dimwit Biden does so that alone should be enough for anyone to support Putin and his objectives.

Ukraine has voted to loose even more of it's territory, by not agreeing to Russia's cease fire and requesting more sophisticated weapons from Western Governments with a much greater range and accuracy.
The NATO Jens Stoltenburg seems to think it is alright to sacrifice NATO, Ukrainian, and Russian forces, to show NATO's POWER; and we must all contribute more without complaint.
This man is a dangerous psychopath who seeks power over the whole globe, He wants NATO/OTAN deployed in the South China Sea and far off Asia.
NATO is the aggressor and has gained territorial advantage by deceit, subversion, and outright aggression. The only thing it is good for is expending arms and self aggrandisement.
Russia has patiently studied their tactics and is aware of all their tricks and is now showing the world how you deal with such evil corruption.
Let us hope that the lesson is learned quickly and an end comes to all this planned aggressive destruction and death.

What else?
Now we are the “fringe” element in the area with our END NATO sentiments…..
Why be coy?
The only thing the Ruskies need to just say is:
"We're are taking the whole Ukraine and integrated back with Russia.
The final step is to partition it into small governing territories. "
This is to open up a larger buffer from the longer-range HIMARS we are sending. All types of RF recon are now frantically trying to locate these HIMARS and destroy them - either coming into the country, or deployed. A big problem is, as I understand it, that they are being used on civilian targets and infrastructure such as bridges in DPR and LPR, as well as inflicting major Russian base damage in Ukraine. When Russia starts destroying these further inland, and produce a few NATO bodies as operators, somebody's going to have some 'splainin' to do.
Your mind is full of useless filth.
