Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 19, 2024…
- As Ukrainian forces continue military operations in Kursk, Russia, the actual line of contact continues to crumble as Russian forces advance;
- Ukrainian progress in Kursk was due to a lack of Russian troops which are now flooding the area to contain and then roll back Ukrainian troops;
- Russian advances along the line of contact consists of overtaking extensive Ukrainian defensive positions;
- The Kursk incursion will raise the cost for Russia, but ultimately will accelerate the collapse of Ukraine’s own fighting capacity;
- US JASSM cruise missiles are being considered for Ukraine, a critical munition required for any future operation against China and a munition that is not produced in quantities equal or larger than even Russian-made cruise missiles;
- JASSMs are air-launched, meaning their use will be restricted by Ukraine’s small number of military aircraft capable of launching them;

- Western experts continuously make inappropriate comparisons between Russia’s air campaign in Ukraine to the US air campaign in Iraq in the 1990s and against in 2003;
- Such experts ignore the primary difference where Iraq lacked modern integrated air defenses while Ukraine began in 2022 with significant defenses;
- These same experts ignore the significant losses US military aviation suffered in contested airspace such as over Vietnam where the US lost over 10,000 aircraft or the necessity of US military aviation to use stand-off strikes in Syria because of the presence of modern air defense capabilities;
- While Western experts laud the performance of the US-made Patriot missile system, the fact that interceptors cannot be made in large enough quantities detracts from its overall efficacy;
- Russia’s use of military aviation in Ukraine reflects the realities both on and above the battlefield, realities that would effect Western air forces were they in Russia’s place;

- Western media admits Ukraine is losing ground and suffering from growing manpower, arms, and ammunition shortages;
- After US-European pledges to increase artillery shell production, both have fallen far short of their targets and will be producing less ammunition in 2026 than Russia is producing now;
- Western policymakers promoting claims that robots, automation, and simplifying manufacturing can allow the West to match Russian and Chinese production are unrealistic;

- The Western media is now admitting to a wide variety of metrics indicating Ukraine's spiral downward amid the ongoing conflict with Russia;
- Reports indicate not only manpower shortages but a problem with properly training conscripts for combat;
- Ukraine continues to suffer from a wide variety of arms and ammunition shortages, with the West now finally admitting Western military industrial production has categorically failed to meet the demands of the conflict in Ukraine;
- NATO's summit in Washington DC pledged to expand Western military industrial production but failed to lay out any of the key steps required to do so beyond political posturing;

- The US has dominated the foreign and domestic policy of the Southeast Asian country of the Philippines for decades, having formally ruled the nation as a colony from 1898-1946;
- The Philippines has been used for US military basing throughout the Cold War and is now enlarging its military footprint on the Philippines under the government of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.;
- It was under President Rodrigo Duterte that the US was being pressured to leave the nation while also expanding closer ties with China who was and still is the Philippines’ largest trade partner;
- Today, infrastructure projects underway during President Duterte’s administration have been literally torn down, instead military bases are being built to point missiles at the Philippines’ largest trade partner, China;
- The US through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has created large numbers of media platforms, political organizations, and education programs meant to convince the Philippine people that serving US foreign policy objectives is in their own best interests;
- The ultimate irony is that these US efforts have convinced Filipinos that fighting China is necessary to protect their sovereignty, when in fact US influence over Philippine foreign policy already constitutes the usurpation of Philippine sovereignty;
- Ukraine provides an example of where this process of the US using the Philippines as a proxy against China ultimately leads if the Philippine people are unable to recognize their current government is serving US interests at the expense of their own interests;

The Western media is reporting that “volunteers” from around the world are going to Ukraine to “fight for democracy.” This includes members of the US-backed mobs in Thailand.
I explain the hypocrisy of those claiming Ukraine is a “democracy” in the first place, and how in reality these volunteers will be welcomed, trained, and will fight alongside literal Nazis.
These are videos made 3 times weekly (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) published first for Platinum Sponsors and above as well as for supporters on “Buy Me a Coffee,” then made public later on in the week. Thank you for your support and making this work possible!
