    Nuland has announced her intention to resign in the coming weeks., 03.05.2024.

    Nuland has notified Blinken of her intention to resign in the coming weeks.

    WASHINGTON, March 5 – RIA Novosti. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said his deputy, Victoria Nuland, has notified him of her intention to resign in the coming weeks.

    "Victoria Nuland has indicated to me that she intends to step down as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs in the coming weeks," Blinken said in a statement.

    Nuland, who is considered the main architect of the anti-Russian course and the Ukrainian policy of American diplomacy, ends a 35-year career after she was passed over for appointment to the post of first deputy secretary of state - the second in the State Department hierarchy.

    Hopefully, ill health and imminent death for this absolute devil.
    Maybe its due to vanity and arrogance and the fact she knows the Pukrainian junta will humiliatingly collapse for her.

    Either way, hope she dies a painful death.
    Not many know, but her husband is Robert Kagan the chief Neo-Con who was behind Project for a New American Century - a vile think tank that horrified even many NATO extremists due to its thoughts.

    ... and? scratch
    How is it relevant to the course of war?
    Does it make Russkie to leave the 20% of 404 territory?
    All of lithium deposits out there, most of the black earth, most of the rare earth elements, most of the gas, all of coal, most of the uranium and gold?
    Will it stop them from advancing west?
    Will it bring half of it's population back?
    Reincarnate half a mln fallen?

    How a case of something in a scale of terrorist attack can be even discussed as relevant?
    What next?
    A burned down transformation station somewhere in the middle of nowhere? By two teenagers who get $20 each?

    Are you really so stupid - and I don't mean only you SS - that you are trying to equal the scale of events that are in some 100 times disadvantageous to 404?

    Do you have some assistance in flushing the toilet? Because I can hardly believe you can push the button there.

    Here is a daily dose of reality for you.

    Just one of multiple recorded cases. Day by day, day by day, dozens of them.

    The Washington Post just fired a bomb, that an internal audit of the Ukrowehrmacht claims 700k people "missing". In a meaning of dead, MIA or POW.
    SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND.

    Five ships in 2+ years you are saying?  dunno

    No NATO country produces those drones for Ukraine they are Ukies produced more excuses.


    so when UK has left NATO? The country that was not bale to build ships or warplanes for 30 years suddenly can have netcentric submersible drones in mass production?

    Russian special military operation in Ukraine #54 - Page 17 Tell-us-more-willy-wonka





    And I thought according to the fanboys here Russia can out produce NATO....so which is it?

    Russia cannot out produce NATO or they can
     

    ammo, tanks, now drones - delivered to war theater too - why urine cries and none can send ? how many NEW tanks of ammo was sent?
    Drones ar esent and build fo rurine constantly. Or sent in modules just to screwdriver assembly.





    More excuses, that ship sitting at the bottom says what needs to be
    one ship sunk during war so you will be promoted to Read Admiral?

    Russia is outproducing NATO in all areas.
    By a wide margin.
    But Russia doesn´t waste her weapons.
    Once again the West wasted weeks for preparation and then wasted lots of missiles and drones,
    instead of using them somewehre along the frontlines.

    By the way those attacks prove that the Ukros are remotely controlled by the west.
    Crimea and the Black Sea Fleet are more an american and british obsession.

    Wonder how long it takes to add some more cabling
    Has propably more to do with the flight and weapons control computer and the programs needed for them.

    Either way it's sheer incompetence and you guys say the Russian navy can challenge the USN pfft with this track record the it would be. A one sided slaughter for the USN.

    The Russian fleet was able to secure its maritime trade routes in the Black Sea.
    The US Navy, even with support from numerous other countries, failed miserably in protecting maritime trade routes in the Red Sea against a much weaker opponent Very Happy

    Zakharova linked Nuland's departure with the failure of the United States in the Russian direction, 03.05.2024.

    Zakharova: Nuland quits due to the failure of the US anti-Russian course.

    US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who announced her resignation from her post in the near future, will leave due to Russophobia and the failure of the anti-Russian course in American politics. This is how the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commented on the US State Department’s message about Nuland’s plans to leave her position.

    “Nuland has notified Blinken of her intention to resign in the coming weeks. They won't tell you the reason. But it is simple - the failure of the anti-Russian course of the Biden administration,” Zakharova wrote.

    She noted that “Russophobia, proposed by Victoria Nuland as the main foreign policy concept of the United States, is dragging the Democrats to the bottom like a stone.”

    “Remembering the candles in Orthodox churches, if you suddenly want to go to a monastery to atone for your sins, let’s put in a good word,” Zakharova added. She attached to the publication a photograph in which Nuland lights a candle in the temple, covering her head with a scarf.

    The Witch is going. As the boss of it in the State Department this is probably the clearest indication yet that the US knows the Ukraine war is over and Russia has won.

    Nuland has spent a decade making this her primary focus and it has ended in total failure. She clearly doesn't want to be in the limelight when that reality becomes publicly undeniable. But from the 'cookies' and "F the EU" she will be forever linked to not just the failure of her plans for Ukraine but also the effect that it will have strategically on the US.

    As a key player, she could go down in history as the person who lit the blue touch paper.

    This failure will live long in her memory, rather like H Clinton's failure to become president.

    All this from the witch because she was kicked out of a kids Summer camp, prob Artek in Crimea.
    She was taking the piss out of the little kids by throwing sesame seeds on the ground and watching some eat them. A Russian girl told her to stop. Nuland tried to attack her. Nuland got a hiding, and got sent home. Absolute vermin then and the same now.

    This was also the reason it had such a smug, psychopathic grin when offering biscuits to the Nazi and similar rioters in Kiev.

    This character would have remained vermin whatever happened, but the events in the Summer camp are interesting.

    so called ICC - issued arrest warrant on 2 Russian officers:

    Admiral Viktor Nikolayevich Sokolov BSF Commander

    Lt-General Kobylash, Sergey Ivanovich, Commander of Long-Range Aviation

    for?

    "
    During this time-frame, there was an alleged campaign of strikes against numerous electric power plants and sub-stations, which were carried out by the Russian armed forces in multiple locations in Ukraine.

    Pre-Trial Chamber II found that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the alleged strikes were directed against civilian objects, and for those installations that may have qualified as military objectives at the relevant time, the expected incidental civilian harm and damage would have been clearly excessive to the anticipated military advantage.
    "


    so war is peace and ICC is justice

    Why is CNN suddenly paddling pro-Russian narratives? 

    I mean, why did GLOBOHOMO allow CNN to spill the beans which goes against the official narrative of Banderastan? 

    On top of that, Cookie Nuland just resigned for no apparent reason.

    What's going on? I don't understand.

    Did the Ukrainians sink a patrol ship? Man if they did i have no words for the RU navy. If they have no effective way to protect the ships they really need to keep them behind nets until they figure something out.

    I'm wondering what some of these experts here would do if in charge?
    Anyway, the ship got overwhelmed. Seems it was attacked multiple times and eventually something got through.
    What this conflict has shown is that ships are easy targets and not necessarily as good as once where.
    Plus new ships need to be designed for modern conflict of Unmanned underwater vehicles.
    I would never claim to be an expert. But I think the least they could do is not keep ships isolated so they can cover each other. They could also add more heavy machine guns and autocannon. Add night vision sensors (notice how most of the drone attacks are at night). Ships should also stay in harbor with nets. And finally they need more aircraft or drones to survey and track these drones at sea.

    The class doesn't carry any weaponry relevant to the conflict (it is supposed to be modular though, with provision for VLS cells, but doesn't have them atm)...

    So, again a "Ukrainian" (hardly, even, they could not have done it themselves, they only "pulled the trigger" in legalese, the gear, the ISR etc is all US/UK/NATO) strike on an irrelevant BSF asset, to provide some badly needed PR as the rest of the actual war is steadily going to hell for them.

    Also another failure of the BSF to realize what I already criticized about the attacks on the Tarantul and the landing ship. The Russians are too pragmatic, thinking that UA would only spend time and resources on attacking assets actually important in this war, and thus being ridiculously lazy about everything else.

    It has no relevance to the conflict itself, doesn't impact Russias abilities to wage the war it's been waging, but it is a bad look and peripheral money down the drain. I am actually surprised by the BSFs slow learning here.

    They need to deploy a CIWS for naval drones that is like the hedgehog Essentially a CBU for naval targets. Also what about high pressure water cannons, can they be effective? Have a high press water cannon and when you have it on target press a button that releases small grenades into the water stream.

    Thermals + a big Afghanit APS like system that is manually commanded.

    Follow the approach of the drone and send and detonate a 20kg full of shrapnells in the direction of the drone that covers 50x50m area. Make sure that you have enoigh reloads.

    This conflict is rather new since most other parties never used or had such unmanned equipment used on them before. Thus Russia will obtain a lot of valuable information.

    What I agree with Lancelot is that the ships shouldn't be alone. What I disagree is the night vision comment because the ship already does. Essentially the ship was attacked in waves and eventually something got through and hit it. So it was already fending off and destroying assets in the water (even video you can hear the ship is firing at something).

    What they may end up doing is having some kind of ability to deploy nets when a ship isn't moving in order to protect around it. Or possibly CIWS that deals specifically against such drones. And lastly, not have the ship alone so oversaturation strikes doesn't become a major hurdle as it Is currently.

    For older ships, makes sense. With these newer ships, they should be better prepared.
