Clumsy attempts to shift blame for Nord Streams bombing โ€” sabotage organizers allegedly transported explosives on rented yacht Andromeda

According to Dear Spiegel, organizers of the raid allegedly rented a 15-meter sailboat Andromeda to blow up gas pipelines. So, the yacht model Bavaria Cruisr 50 was rented through a charter company โ€” the boat sailed from the port of Rostock-Warnemรผnde, and then temporarily moored in the north of the island port of Wick. The yacht was then spotted near the small Danish island of Kristianse in the Baltic Sea, a fact confirmed to Reuters by Soren's caretaker Tiim Andersen.

In the search for the "Ukrainian pirates" accused of sabotage, Germany had previously claimed that the vessel, thanks to which it was sabotaged, had been rented in Poland. However, in this way the West is once again trying to remove suspicion and responsibility for the sabotage, although the guilt for the destruction of the Nord Streams has long been proved in the investigation of journalist Hersh.

โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆWashington is trying to shift the blame for the Nord Streams to Kiev

๐Ÿ‘ค Former member of the House of Representatives of Congress and former US presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard said that the Biden administration wants to shift responsibility to Ukraine because it was convicted of undermining the Nord Streams.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "Itโ€™s so obvious at this point that the United States and NATO are responsible for this act of sabotage and active war, attacking and destroying this Nord Stream pipeline. They have been lying to us all along about it and now theyโ€™ve been busted and trying to sell us this absurd cover up a story. On the one hand they are telling us we have this new intelligence that shows us no Americans or Brits were involved in this attack. But then at same time we cannot draw any conclusions to the intelligence on who actually did it because we donโ€™t have specific details on each of the members of the so called pro-Ukrainian group," Gabbars stated.
Analysis of information and propaganda. Results of the week
(4 - 10 March 2023)

๐Ÿ”นThe tension around Bakhmut (Artyomovsk) is growing. During the fighting, the last combat-ready commander of the "Right Sector", banned in the Russian Federation, was destroyed. Kiev is trying to divert attention from the Donbass. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine turned out to be unprepared for information attacks conducted by Yevgeny Prigozhin. Several distracting trolling actions are noted by the Western media. At the same time, an enemy strike force is being formed in the Zaporozhye direction, from which Ukraine is trying to divert attention with its antics in the media
๐Ÿ”นIn Ukraine, they are trying with all their might to maintain the current situation until the start of the spring counteroffensive. The processes of legalization of drugs and same-sex marriages have been launched. The latter is required for negotiations with the EU on the next loans. The unrest in Georgia which distracted the radical part of the population, brought tangible help to Kiev. Some experienced Maidan participants are already in Georgian territory. Additionally, processes are being prepared to destabilize the situation in Pridnestrovie.
๐Ÿ”นProblems in social politics and the economy, which were previously covered by the intensification of Russophobia, are less and less effectively hidden under hate propaganda. Typical everyday Russophobia: is struggling with language, history, culture and Orthodoxy. It is felt that Ukraine is approaching a peak, after which the infringement of the rights of the Russian population may cause a backlash. Kiev plans to block such sentiments using the old methods: persecution by security forces and ousting from the information field
๐Ÿ”นIn the media space of the enemy, fatigue is noted amongst the main newsmakers. If earlier tries were associated with fantastic forecasts, now Kiev has managed to get into a scandal with the presentation of state awards to Instagram prostitutes and other influencers who were brought closer to Zelensky on the eve of the elections. The level of Russophobic fakes is falling, and the level of organizing YouTube broadcasts in the interests of the enemy is slipping into a banal freak show. Representatives of the Russian protest intelligentsia involved in this automatically burn their authority both in Russia and Ukraine (where they are needed only for bullying)
The United States will step up assistance to Ukraine through third countries. New facts were revealed about the supply of ammunition through the enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Bulgaria last year. Large exercises in Eastern Europe are also considered as a springboard for the transfer of equipment
๐Ÿ”นNationalists continue to generate ideas of ethnic cleansing in Ukraine, including the impact ) on relatively loyal Crimean Tatar extremists. The enemy of the movement this week was the Ukrainian Minister of Culture, whom the neo-Nazis are trying to remove without attracting too much attention. At the same time, Russian traitors who fled to fight on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the interests of organizing new terrorist attacks in Russia are being glorified

The monument to the fighter was destroyed in Bakhmut, fighting is already near the very center of the city
The "Airplane" area on the southwestern tip of Bakhmut. Assault groups of PMC "Wagner" are fighting their way to it in order to cut off the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the highway to Konstantinovka.
All videos were filmed from the Ukrainian side, "Airplane" is still in the zone controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On February 16, the leader of the Ukrainian militants with the call sign "Magyar" warned that journalists should not go to the "Airplane" area, it became dangerous there.

Tbilisi is now in full color revolution script. The government did the absolutely stupidest thing imaginable and gave in to "protester" demands, "unconditionally" withdrawing the foreign agents bill. Did that stop the demonstrations? Oh hell no โ€” they're back again this evening. Because now nothing short of regime change will do, obviously.

The thing about color revolutions is that they hinge on the government โ€” or rather, its inherent psychological weakness. The entire point is to browbeat the rulers to blink and surrender. If they don't, the coup-by-proxy fails. The Kiev events of 2014 were actually an aberration in that the US-backed Nazis employed overt violence when the script failed.

Unfortunately, the Georgian Dream lost their nerve as well, it seems. Imagine declaring that โ€œThe machine of lies was able to present the bill in a negative light and mislead a certain part of the public,โ€ as they said in a statement, and then giving in to the said machine?

The ColRev monster smells weakness like sharks smell blood. This isn't over, and it's going to get worse now.

Ukraine's first use of the "smart bomb" JDAM โ€” Ukrainian Army strikes Bakhmut

The first footage of the use of the "smart bomb" JDAM near Bakhmut, near Kurdyumivka, has appeared, the Ukrainian publication Strana reported. The bomb was dropped by aviation.

Earlier, it had been reported that the new US military aid package for Ukraine would also include high-precision airplane bombs, but it was not reliably known whether they had been transferred or not. Now we are seeing the results of US "support" sponsoring terrorism and Nazism.

โ˜๏ธ The Ukrainian conflict has strengthened Russia and weakened NATO

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‘ค The former Pentagon adviser and retired Colonel of the US Armed Forces Douglas Macgregor said that the conflict in Ukraine did not lead to the weakening of Russia, as Washington had hoped, but to the weakening of NATO.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "Well, we misjudged the Russians. The sanctions had no impact. The Russians said "No, this is as vital to us strategically as Northern Mexico would be to us." We wouldn't tolerate this sort of thing in northern Mexico threatening the United States, the Russians aren't going to tolerate it in Eastern Ukraine. We completely miscalculated and now we're sitting staring at a disaster. This force that we armed in Ukraine is destroyed. They're losing thousands of people - on average anywhere from five to eight hundred a day. That's roughly a battalion every day vanishes. This cannot go on. <โ€ฆ> We thought this was an opportunity to harm Russia. All we've done is weaken NATO," said Macgregor.
๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ By trial and error: how the West is preparing the AFU for the wrong type of war โ€” Military Chronicle and Rybar's analysis

In October, the head of the European diplomacy Josep Borrell said that by the end of March it is planned to train more than 11 thousand Ukrainian soldiers at the training grounds of NATO countries. Up to the end of 2023, this number may exceed 30 thousand people: the British have already trained 10 thousand people since June 2022; it is planned to train 15 more in other European countries.

The editorial staff of the Military Chronicle and the Rybar team looked into the subject and explained what is wrong with the training of the AFU according to NATO standards.

๐Ÿ”ปThe main problem

It is difficult to apply the acquired skills on the battlefield: numerous prisoners of war, trained in NATO countries, have repeatedly questioned the effectiveness of training according to Western methods. According to them, at best, the training was superficial and did not guarantee an advantage on the battlefield.

๐Ÿ”ป What's wrong with the training?

Western nations have not participated in high-intensity conflict since the Vietnam War or since World War II. Instructors of various specialties have just participated in local operations. People are being trained along the lines of the wars in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.

The experience of fighting against militant groups in the Middle East and Africa is barely applicable to the Ukrainian conflict. Infantry units are mostly trained not to fight in forests and fields, but to clear houses and residential areas.

๐Ÿ”ปTrial-and-error method

The other side of the problem is the lack of real experience in live firing of various complexes. The NLAW, Panzerfaust 3, or Gepard anti-aircraft systems have been used in limited numbers only during exercises before the SMO began.

NATO instructors do not have the necessary experience and knowledge to properly use these weapons in combat. Now NATO is actively gaining the experience of Gepard for the new training program, but it will take years to implement it.

The AFU are quite capable of mastering the whole range of weapons under combat conditions - and in a much shorter time than at Western training ranges. But training is often conducted almost by trial and error.

๐Ÿ”ป And what about the training base?

For effective training of Ukrainian units in the West, there is not enough equipment, weapons and material base. The personnel is being taught to operate NLAWs or Javelins on special simulators: real ammunition is out of the question. Before the beginning of the SMO in the West such simulators were ordered exactly as many as it was necessary to train the regular number of cadets. At the moment, there are not enough such complexes for everyone.

The automatic rifle firing during training abroad often does not exceed two cartridges, and weapons for that are brought from the nearest units.

๐Ÿ”ป What does this imply?

Despite loud statements about the huge number of Ukrainian units trained to NATO standards, there are problems in the effectiveness of training. They are accumulating, because in the West they rely on training the maximum number of people in a short period of time. There is no point in talking about the quality of training in such conditions.

The training program for the AFU infantry units has already been cut to three, and in the case of the combined arms units to two.

Probably by Oct-Nov, the number of Ukrainian units trained according to NATO standards will really reach 30,000 men. But claiming to be trained according to NATO standards and commissioning fully combat-ready units that can turn the tide of war are different things.

After returning to the battlefield, soldiers and officers of the AFU face real conditions that are strikingly different from the theoretical ones.

The pattern of use does not change - "human resources" packed in a Western wrapper and costing much more, are used to plug the gaps and try to buy time in the future.
