“Without the help of the United States and Europe, Russia will gain a strategic advantage that will be devastating.”
This was stated by former Chief of the US General Staff Mark Milley. According to him, refusal to support Kiev would signal a fatal blow to the world order.
The US-created "rules have done a lot to make the United States a very rich, powerful and capable country," the general said.

EU runs out of gunpowder to create ammunition for Ukraine...
...because the resources for its production were imported from China.
Upon examining the situation, it becomes even more absurd. The European gunpowder market is commercial and driven by profit. In plain terms, private companies are not keen on supplying gunpowder for Ukraine's needs for almost free. This issue is lamented by the French Minister of Defense.
The supply of a specific type of cotton used for gunpowder production primarily came to Europe from China. And just a few months ago, China halted these supplies.
In short, it's business as usual - we impose sanctions on China, and when cotton supplies stopped, China is blamed for violating market laws.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 3 March 2024; pub. 07:38 - PART 1📍
🇺🇸 The issue of the open participation of #NATO troops in the war in #Ukraine has moved from the category of "unthinkable" to "debatable". Scholz turned in foreign specialists already helping the AFU. The interception of German military specialists regarding calculations of the need for Taurus missiles to destroy the Crimean bridge is indicative - the Bundeswehr already quietly discusses such issues at the middle level. #NATO countries are conducting exercises on the eastern flank and developing logistical routes along the borders of #Russia and #Belarus "from sea to sea".
▪️ The reasons for such discussions are #Ukraine's inability to confront #Russia "in the long run". #US experts talk about the irreparable damage already done to #Ukraine's demography. The once elite units like the Special Forces, GUR and the 3rd Air Assault Brigade are already recruited on the same principle: less than 35 years of age. A political crisis is looming: in March the presidential elections cancelled by Zelensky were to be held, and in May all conceivable terms of his legal stay in power will expire. The situation is complicated by Kiev's expectation of an even larger offensive by the Russian Army.
🔹 West of #Avdeyevka, at the moment, the RF Armed Forces are developing success: the fighting is taking place at #Berdychi, #Semyonovka, #Orlovka and #Tonenkoye. The enemy holds the lines and skilfully takes advantage of our mistakes: our motorised riflemen were without grenade launchers against the lightly armoured Bradley, and the headquarters draw maps based on beautiful video reports with flags in villages that have not yet been cleared.
🔹 On Chasov Yar, the Russian army continues to advance through #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye). There are heavy battles, but we manage to push the enemy to the outskirts.
🔹 From #Maryinka, our troops are advancing in three directions: westwards - towards #Kurakhovo through #Georgiyevka, southwards - through #Pobeda and #Novomikhaylovka to reach #Ugledar, northwards - towards #Krasnogorovka.
🔹 On the #Zaporozhye front, the heaviest bloody battles in #Rabotino. Once again a week ago hastened to report, but the enemy is conducting a manoeuvre defence. The village, located in the lowlands, is riddled with trenches and passages of communication, which allows the enemy to move. On the flanks our troops are seriously preparing to strike.
🔹 In #Krynki on the #Kherson direction, fighting continues. In addition, the AFU are sitting in small groups at the #Antonovsky bridge on "dachas". "Beautiful reports" about the exact defeat of the enemy by the TOS pass from the lower levels. After viewing the frames of objective control, the leadership may have their eyes popping out from such "accuracy".
🛩 Our aviation (as well as military pilots) using FABs with UMPCs works on wear and tear. The pilots wonder why not to conduct a large scale operation to destroy the AFU air defence at least in the frontline. Several times a week, our comrades have to dodge enemy missiles on multi-tonne vehicles (the AFU, by the way, records a "defeat" on their account at the moment of launch, hence the enemy's space statistics).

🇮🇱⚔🇵🇸Israel-Gaza Conflict: March 2-3 (Recap)
1️⃣ UNICEF chief Catherine Russell has called for a “ceasefire now”, saying that “every minute counts” for children in Gaza facing “deadly” malnutrition.
2️⃣ Truce talks are expected to resume in Egypt on Sunday but the details beyond a possible six-week pause in fighting remain unclear despite US officials’ claims a ceasefire is near.
3️⃣ Israeli bombardment of Gaza continues with overnight attacks reported in Rafah, Deir el-Balah and Khan Younis.
4️⃣ An earlier Israeli attack that killed 14 people living in tents in Rafah was “outrageous and unspeakable”, says the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
5️⃣ The UNSC has issued a joint statement expressing “deep concern” at an “incident involving Israeli forces” where more than “100 individuals lost their lives” without specifically attributing blame on Israel after US objection.
6️⃣ The statement acknowledges a UN report that Palestinians hospitalised after the “flour massacre” suffered from gunshot wounds, while a later UN report described a “large number of gunshot wounds”
7️⃣ A UK-owned cargo ship carrying fertilisers has sunk in the Red Sea, nearly two weeks after it was hit by Yemen’s Houthis, reports from UK and Yemeni officials confirm.
At least 30,320 people including more than 12,300 children, have been killed and over 71,533 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

In the past three months, there were over 150 attacks against US military assets in the Middle East.
How much damage these attacks wrought is unknown – the US military obscures most of the critical data about these attempts. The last attack on the American base in Jordan received so much attention because this particular installation belonged to the US special forces.
During the Cold War, the American network of military bases was a powerful tool of force projection. It was still viable during the military occupation of Iraq. Fortified concrete bunkers, fences, barbwire, and complete air superiority turned military bases into safe havens deep inside hostile territory. They were also cheap and easy to build and defend without spending much on sophisticated missile or air defense systems.
Measures were unnecessary when fighting counterinsurgency wars against enemies armed with old Soviet weapons. The disparity in power enabled enforcing neocolonial order over occupied territories. A well-defended fort, impervious against all attacks by poorly-armed local insurgents allowed controlling entire regions with relative ease.
Things are different now. Military bases are no longer safe havens, but targets for ballistic missiles and suicide drones. Maintaining military presence around the world will have to be paid for in money, weapons, and blood of American troops. Each base would have to be equipped with anti-missile defenses, underground bomb shelters, and expensive surveillance measures. Additional expenditures may result in the US being forced to cut down the number of its installations abroad.
The ability to maintain its military presence around the world used to be a staple of American global hegemony. Now that Washington’s capabilities at power projection are waning, and the strategy of worldwide containment is called into question, the US will be forced to forfeit its influence to various regional powers, and focus more on problems back home.

Britain's cash-strapped Navy 'may be forced to sell off its £3.5 billion aircraft carrier the HMS Prince of Wales' amid funding issues.
The future of Britain's second aircraft carrier is under threat due to funding issues, naval sources have claimed.
Senior figures have spoken out after it emerged next week's budget will not include any significant rise in defense spending.
They fear HMS Prince of Wales, which cost £3.5 billion to build, could be mothballed or sold for a knockdown price to a friendly nation, over the fleet's flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Last night, a naval source told the Mail the nightmare scenario of selling a carrier to spare funds had been discussed by members of the Maritime Enterprise Planning Group, which looks at future considerations and strategies.
Former defense secretary Ben Wallace told the Mail the UK had effectively been 'lying' to NATO for the last 20 years over its capabilities.
HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Queen Elizabeth cost a combined £7 billion. Today, it is widely accepted the UK will not be able to adequately defend or operate them independently.
The service only has one solid stores ship, the RFA Fort Victoria, to support the carriers and she is due to be retired in 2028.
The 65,000-ton behemoths and their strike groups have previously relied on protection from allies, including the Netherlands and the US. Almost 700 crew are needed to operate one – a drain on the force at a time of recruitment and retention issues.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Massive Drone Raid on Feodosia
This night, air defense units in Feodosia repelled another attack by Ukrainian formations. For the first time in a long time, the enemy carried out a massive raid of drones launched from the Zaporozhye region.
🔻 With 38 drones that covered the path, skirting the location of air defense systems in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intended to strike an oil depot in Feodosia.
▪️As a result of the joint work of the assets of 31 divisions, including crews of the S-400 air defense system, the Pantsir-S1 air defense system, and rifle detachments of the Crimean defense group, 36 drones were shot down.
▪️One of the UAVs hit a pipeline at an oil depot. It was this sound that was mistaken for the arrival in the tank. The resulting fire was extinguished without serious damage to the infrastructure.
▪️Another drone, having lost its course, fell on the Tavrida highway near Feodosia. According to Two Majors, a civilian vehicle was damaged, and the area of the fall was cordoned off.
❗️One important feature should be noted in the recent missile strike on Crimea and today’s raid: the Ukrainian Armed Forces are once again increasing their efforts to destroy targets in Crimea.
It was quite expected that on the eve of the presidential elections in Russia, the Ukrainian authorities would try to create chaos and panic. And the closer the election date, the more intense the attempts will be. And the final goal is the Crimean Bridge.
