This week, Zelensky revealed his master plan for victory over Russia: he’s just going to fire missiles randomly at houses and apartment blocks and kill as many random people as possible in captured territories.
The US wants to help this program of mass slaughter in any way they can, because it sure as hell makes sense to the geniuses at the Pentagon.
Earlier in the week, Zelensky said he was losing, but claimed without evidence that more weapons would change this somehow.
RT:
The US is sending Ukraine heavy guided missiles with a range of 70km for use with the HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl revealed on Tuesday. The White House previously said that HIMARS launchers would be provided with “battlefield munitions,” widely understood to be unguided rockets with a shorter range.
The high-mobility artillery rocket system will come with GMLRS guided rockets, Kahl said on Tuesday, speaking at a conference hosted by the Center for New American Security (CNAS), a Democrat-linked think tank for which he used to work.
“Sometimes when you see images of MLRS firing off, it’s like salvos of multiple rockets going off at the same time. That’s really not how this system is meant to operate,” Kahl said.
“The GMLRS is a precision guided munition, and a big one – a 500 pound munition,” he added. “Think of GMLRS more like the effect of an airstrike rather than launching off whole salvos. So, in other words, you can do a lot with a little, or you don’t need a lot to have a significant effect.”
When the White House first announced it was sending HIMARS launchers to Ukraine on June 1, it said they would be armed with “battlefield munitions,” which was widely taken to mean barrage rockets with a range of between 32km and 60km, considering that HIMARS is also capable of launching ballistic projectiles with a range of up to 300km.
Yes, this was a previous commitment, before Zelensky went full “just shoot missiles randomly at people’s houses.”
But these babies can blow up an entire apartment block in one go.
Killing soldiers is too hard and it’s a waste of time anyway when you could just be killing random people.

The troops of fascist Ukraine are literally hitting people, houses and playgrounds. Donbass has lost a lot of children and it still amazes me how much the world community does not care about it. pic.twitter.com/FotSEuC2ke

Hay un gringo que tiene clara las cosas, menos mal. Russell tiene muy claro que hoy es Donbass. Mañana es en tu ciudad. Y todos sabemos que no hay absolutamente nada que pare a los nazis, que son la fuerza bruta de los que nos gobiernan. pic.twitter.com/5q9cnEuf6K

Also, NATO is sending more weapons. This comes after Jens already said that the only path to peace is for the Ukraine to surrender territory and agree to neutrality.
RT:
Ukraine must get more NATO heavy weapons, the military bloc’s head said on Tuesday, ahead of a meeting of a US-led ‘contact group’ set up to discuss the plan’s logistics. NATO is trying to adapt to the “constantly changing” demands from Kiev, according to the American envoy to the bloc.
“Ukraine should have more heavy weapons and NATO allies and partners have provided heavy weapons … and they are also stepping up,” its Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Tuesday in The Hague, where he met with leaders of seven member states ahead of the NATO summit scheduled for the end of June.
“In terms of weaponry, we stand united here that it is crucial for Russia to lose the war,” said Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who hosted the meeting. “And as we cannot have a direct confrontation between NATO troops and Russia, what we need to do is make sure that Ukraine can fight that war, that it has access to all the necessary weaponry.”
I don’t understand what the plan here is and I’m tired of trying to figure it out. After the sanctions failed, there was zero chance the military battle could do anything other than fail.
Zelensky has announced that troops trapped in a cauldron ready to either surrender or get slaughtered will “determine the course of the war.”

So… when those troops don’t prevail, it’s surrender time? Or… or what?
I literally do not know what is going on with any of this.
It doesn’t matter how many weapons they send. The Ukraine people army was a slapstick army to begin with.

Here you can clearly understand that the US picked the wrong ally.

Now it’s 70% destroyed.
Frankly, I’m ready for Russia to go scorched earth.
The U.S told Ukraine: "Start having negotiations with Russia as soon as possible"
Meanwhile Russia heading to Donbass with brand new military trucks and tanks 👇🏽
