Update on the conflict in Ukraine for February 11, 2024… - US artillery shell production is increasing solely because the US Army owns and controls the means of production; - Despite the surge capacity already on hand when the decision was made to expand production, the US Army is required to build entirely new facilities to meet the production target of 80,000-100,000 155 mm shells a month; - Even if the US meets its target by 2025, it is depending on Europe to reach the 200,000 shells a month (2.4 million/year) Ukraine is said to need on the battlefield; - Russia currently produces 2 million rounds a year and is still expanding production; - Russian state-owned arms industry allows it to maintain large amounts of surge capacity across all munitions, vehicles, and weapons production; - If the US finds itself in a multi-year struggle to catch up to a nation with a smaller economy and population, it suggests attempts to match or exceed the production capacity of China with a much larger population, industrial base, and soon-to-be larger economy are unlikely to succeed; - What the US must do to out-produce its adversaries in war, pivot from a profit to purpose-driven economy, would negate the primary motivations for the US to wage war in the first place; References: SITREP Forbes - The Clock Is Ticking As Ukraine Destroys More Russian Vehicles, Faster.

Myanmar’s US-backed opposition "National Unity Government" (NUG), after months of its so-called “People’s Defense Forces” carrying out nationwide terrorism, has “declared war” on its own nation. The move puts Myanmar one step further down the path toward a Libya-style US intervention and inevitably the destabilization and destruction of the country and the advancement of US foreign policy objectives regarding the encirclement and containment of China. These daily videos (Monday to Friday) are published first for Platinum Sponsors and above first, then made public later on in the week. Thank you for your support and making this work possible!
