NEW VIDEO: Western Arms Industry Building "Factories" in Ukraine to Make Money, Not Arms/Ammunition

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for November 3, 2024…

On YouTube:
Western media continues growing admissions to Ukraine’s collapsing fighting capacity while producing more outlandish propaganda pieces to distract away from Ukraine’s fate;

Several large Western arms corporations are announcing plans to build arms factories in Ukraine including for armored vehicles, air defense missiles, and artillery shells;

The collective West’s arms industry has failed to expand production sufficiently even with existing factories and trained workforces, making the prospects of building facilities in Ukraine a non-starter;

Industry plans will secure billions of dollars for projects that likely will not see completion or serve any effective role in the conflict;

This large transfer of public wealth to corporations amid a failed war resembles the over $1 trillion the US spent on “reconstruction,” building up military forces, and a proxy government in Afghanistan over the course of two decades;

A Moment Before Impact: A Lancet Drone Strikes Ukrainian MLRS Crew.

The Russian “Lancet” loitering munition has become a significant asset on the modern battlefield, demonstrating exceptional effectiveness in countering strategic threats. A recent operation showcased the Lancet in action, targeting a Ukrainian mobile multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) crew. This strike is another example of the growing impact of Russian drone technology on modern combat operations.

Developed by ZALA Aero, the Lancet is a versatile and highly capable loitering munition. Designed to hover over potential targets for extended periods, it provides operators with the flexibility to assess and choose the optimal time for a strike. This dual-role capability—blending reconnaissance and direct attack—sets it apart from more traditional artillery and missile options.…

Time to invoke the 25th and get that senile fossil out of there. The left loses the election and power in DC so lets just nuke the world? Absolute insanity but I expect nothing less from them.
 

Trump’s Push for Ukraine Peace Finds Growing Acceptance in Europe​

President-elect Donald Trump’s push for peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine is finding growing acceptance in Europe as one of the biggest aerial bombardments of the war added to growing concern about Ukraine’s ability to withstand mounting Russian attacks.

While European leaders have started discussions to see whether they could fill any funding gap for Kyiv if the incoming Trump administration cuts off support, officials in many capitals recognize that an off-ramp to the conflict appears increasingly necessary. They note how Russia is gaining ground as Ukraine struggles for troops and weapons.

In the latest assault, Russia launched about 120 missiles and 90 drones at targets across the country early Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, in what appeared to be an attempt to knock out power infrastructure in three key regions.

The EU economy is in the dumpster.

US blowing up Nordstream screwed Germany bad. VW closing 3 plants and laying off thousands. That's just the tip.

Germany IS the EU all the rest are satellites in comparison.
 


Ukraine will be given anti-personnel mines banned by the Ottawa Treaty - Pentagon.

Washington sees the delivery as "one of the most useful steps the US presidential administration can take to slow Russia's advance."

At the same time, Kyiv allegedly pledged not to install anti-personnel mines in densely populated areas.
