@Annalena Okay, dann beantworte mir eine einfache Frage: Wie lange haelt der Krieg in der #Ukraine an, seit einem Jahr oder 9 Jahre? Und bitte nenne mir auch Alternativen, die Herr Putin nehmen kann, ausser dass die Ukraine in die #NATO kommt und vermutlich dort dann Atomrakteten installiert werden koennen? Die Flugzeit ist dann von 30 Minuten auf 4-5 Minuten gesunken. Wie entscheidest du da dich, Fehler in Software, Vogelschwarm oder doch eine Atomrakete?
Okay, stelle dir mal eines vor: Ich sage dir, du sollst alle Tueren zu deinem Haus (Russland) aufmachen und ich gehe regelmaessig rein und hole mir Sache (Rohstoffe) raus. Wuerdest du dann nicht irgendwann mal ein Messer in die Hand nehmen und mich rauswerfen wollen? Dann schicke ich dir auch noch Leute (pro-westliche NGOs) in's Haus, die sich in deine inneren Angeglegenheiten (innere Politik) am einmischen sind (LGBTQ, intersektionaler Feminismus, usw.) Dann stelle ich auch noch Raketenwerfer (Atomraketensilos) in deiner direkten Nachbarschaft auf und richte sie auf dein Haus, insbesondere dein Schlafzimmer und sage dir, dass du dich beruhigen sollst, ich will nur spielen, ich beisse nicht (Geopolitik).

Yesterday’s #NATO #Stoltenberg interview on #Ukraine for German ARD TV, transcribed by whisper, translated by DeepL and edited by me.
Introduction:
More than 20 months after Russia’s major attack, the situation in Ukraine is critical. The attempt to decisively push back the Russian troops at the front has failed. The result is a gruelling war of position, which is likely to play into Russia’s hands. And which consumes large quantities of ammunition. NATO Secretary General Steutenberg criticises European arms policy in this context. We are not in a position to work together as closely as we should, says Steutenberg in an exclusive interview with ARD Studio Brussels. It is crucial to ramp up ammunition production. Here is the entire interview with the NATO Secretary General.
Journalist:
How do you assess the current situation on the front?
Stoltenberg:
I’m always careful to make predictions about the actual situation on the front. Because wars are inherently unpredictable. The only thing we know is that the more we support Ukraine, the sooner this war will be over.
Journalist:
But if you listen to Valerij Salužnii, the military chief of Ukraine, who says there is a pad, there is no major breakthrough to be expected, so wouldn’t it be reasonable for Putin to just wait longer because he thinks he has the longer breath than the best and things might turn in his direction?
Stoltenberg:
It’s up to us to prove Putin wrong. We must realise that it would be a tragedy for Ukraine if President Putin wins. But it would also be dangerous for us. It’s in our own interest to make sure that Ukraine prevails.
Journalist:
Those are strong words, but you’ve been saying that for two years now. But apparently there hasn’t been as much progress as one would expect after two years. If it’s something that really affects our security, if it’s a matter of war and peace for us, Why can’t we manage to supply Ukraine with more ammunition, for example?
Stoltenberg:
We had all hoped for more progress.
Journalist:
Yes, but why isn’t it working?
Stoltenberg:
Wars are hard to plan. We have to see where we were at the beginning. Yes, it’s true, there hasn’t been much movement on the front in the last few months. But the Ukrainians were able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian forces by attacking with cruise missiles deep behind enemy lines, destroying aircraft and helicopters, and they were able to push the Russian Black Sea Fleet back into the eastern part of the Black Sea. That means they’re now able to keep the sea route open with ships transporting grain from Ukraine through the Black Sea. So these are big victories, even if they weren’t able to move the front line.
Journalist:
Do you fear that the situation in Ukraine will be worse, not better, in the future? The EU, for example, wanted to deliver one million shells to Ukraine and is now at 300,000 from old stocks, so hardly anything new.
Stoltenberg:
We also have to be prepared for bad news. Wars move in phases. But we have to stand by Ukraine in good times and bad. This is a war of attrition, a battle for efficiency, a battle for logistics. Ramping up production is crucial. We’re working hard to make sure that happens.
Journalist:
Let’s assume it does. Production is ramping up, but the project is not ramping up. Let’s assume that works. Production is ramped up, but it takes time. What should Ukraine do in the meantime? Stop the offensive, focus more on defence to save equipment and ammunition and save lives?
Stoltenberg:
I will leave it to the Ukrainians and the military leaders to make these difficult operational decisions. I think one of the problems we need to address is the fragmentation of the European defence industry. We are not able to work together as closely as we should.
Journalist:
But who is blocking that? I completely agree with your analysis, but who is still not moving after two years?
Stoltenberg:
I don’t want to point the finger at anyone, but I think we have to realise that this is about the interests of industry, about jobs. We have to see the bigger picture, that it’s in everyone’s interest in NATO to overcome national narrow interests. They are putting us in a dangerous position. We have to prevent the increased demand for ammunition from only driving up prices. We need more supply.
Journalist:
Mr Secretary-General, thank you very much.

Apparently the interview with #NATO Stoltenberg is posted here, but it’s just below 5 minutes and while they originally speak English, it’s fully dubbed in German :)

All #Russia and #Ukraine (!) channels are sharing it like crazy in a Russian language paraphrase published by... TASS. The only English language source I found with exactly this wording is also TASS. The news is also published by a ton of Iranian, Brazilian etc news sites, but their origin is obvious.
Stoltenberg doesn't seem to say anything revolutionary, and he said the same thing over and over again (war is hard, we need to support Ukraine regardless of the news we read). I can't believe the official state information agency of Russian Federation suddenly became the most reliable source for Ukrainian channels two years into the war, but it very much seems so.
Ukrainian (!) "War Zone" channel after half hour suddenly found out that the whole article quoting Stoltenberg "isn't as pessimistic as the title suggests", thus only adding to their display of ignorance — not only they make a whole "zrada" (Ukrainian: "betrayal") FUD out of TASS paraphrase of the interview, but they make it exclusively from a clickbait title. 🤦♂️

#Europe's muddled armed forces ‘could be washed away by #Russia’." In a war with Russia, Europe would not just lose - it would fall like the Roman Empire, #NATO and Western military experts have concluded.
Somewhat too late, in fact.
Apparently they are not as "experts" as the neoconservatives would like to convince us....

They also practiced a plan of action every day — what buttons they push to strike back.

My comment: very interesting results from #US. Those agreeing it is important that Ukraine wins- #Democrats (86%), Republicans (71%) and #Independents 58%. I suspect this is because many independents are leftists who don't think America should be involved in foreign wars in any circumstances.

* On the eve of 24 February 2022 the main dillema if Western military experts was whether it will take Russians 72 or 96 hours to capture Kyiv, and then how long to Lviv.
* Everyone overestimated Russian army, and this translated into specific political decisions. Even Americans were afraid to engage with Russians. If Russia started from Lithuania, not Ukraine, you can't be really sure that NATO would use all its power to fulfill its article 5 obligations, and wouldn't instead go for some kind of compromise, like return to 1997 NATO state, as demanded by Russians.
* This could be the case, if Ukrainians had not resisted fiercely. If not general Zaluzhny and other generals, if not thousands of ordinary Ukrainian people who volunteered to join the army in the first days, and resisted the Russian flood.
* With the huge disbalance in military potentials, the fact that Ukraine was able to achieve battlefield parity is already huge victory. Further fighting will be long and difficult but Sakhaschik has no doubts Ukrainians will strategically win this war.

Zelensky acknowledges need for greater war mobilization.
President Volodymyr Zelensky on Dec. 1 said changes to mobilization are necessary as he ordered a strategic turn focused on defense following a lackluster counteroffensive in Ukraine’s southern regions.
“Everything necessary for our state, our brigades. These specific results must be calculated precisely. This includes issues of mobilization,” Zelensky said.

Putin signs decree to increase size of Russian army by 170,000 troops.
Russia's Defense Ministry commented on the decree, saying that it was a response to an "increase in threats" that are associated with its full-scale war in Ukraine, as well as "ongoing NATO expansion."
Ukrainian and Western officials have ruled that Russian losses in its war against Ukraine can be as high as 300,000 people.

Aus antimilitaristischen Kreisen hieß es von Horst Schulze: „Unsere Antwort auf Boris Pistorius’ Versuch, uns wieder ‚kriegstüchtig‘ zu machen, ist ein entschlossenes Nein zu #Militär und Aufrüstung. Soldat*innen sind Mörder*innen egal unter welcher Fahne sie kämpfen.“"

We have to find out how we, as liberal #democracies, can protect us from #imperialist, #revanchist, #reactionary counties propaganda while still maintaining our freedom of press.
I think one step in this can be to accept, that if something is factually true, we don't need to platform contrarian positions just for the sake of hearing "both sides". If one side is only lying, propagandising and twisting facts, there is no value in hearing them, except to dismantle their strategies and uncover their lies.

Germany has decided to double military aid to Ukraine, — BILD
This week, the German government decided to increase the military budget by 4 billion euros.
Next year Ukraine will receive 8 billion in military aid compared to 4 billion in 2023.
In addition, the Ministry of Defense has another 2 billion euros that can be spent as so-called funds for the implementation of long-term defense contracts.

I've seen multiple reports of Russians using chemical weapons.
For some reason, this topic seems taboo in big media.
Russians are using chemical weapons in the hottest spots of the frontline, DeepState reports.
"Two cases of chemical weapons use were recorded in the Svatove and Bakhmut sectors, most likely the enemy used chloropicrin, which is in abundance and has been used against our troops many times," the statement said.

⛔️🇪🇺Borrell points out about 40% of the ammunition production is being exported to third countries (other than Ukraine), which is why EU will fail to deliver promised 1 million rounds. So, it is not the lack of production capacity, it is that they send their products to other markets. So, maybe what we have to do is to try to shift this production to the priority one, which is Ukraine," Borrell said. (More)

@noelreports had this been a full on assault against #NATO by Muscovy instead of Ukraine we would have been caught with out 👖 down 🙄
"If #DonaldTrump regains the White House... he would be likely to abandon both #NATO & #Ukraine... #SouthKorea & #Japan, would also be at risk of abandonment.
The new generation of America Firsters seems hellbent on crippling the #UnitedStates’ global power. They might succeed where challengers such as #China, #Russia, the Soviet Union, #NorthKorea, #Iran, al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, #Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan & others have failed."

Indeed, few things are more touching than the joy of a child. This little boy, watching a video of his dad defending Ukraine, evokes heartfelt emotions. We join in the wish that their reunion happens soon.
