Rockstar, I well and truly appreciate you furnishing the GAO report for everyone to review.

Looking at it briefly, it looks very involved with lots of number crunching. It will take a while to go through.

Have you looked through the report ? Since you are an intelligent sort, I will simply ask what you made of the report and if anything of significance was left behind. I will accept that edict until I get a chance to look through it. Chances are, I will probably agree with your assessment.

I know leaving any money on the table for the Taliban is significant. I just wanted to know if you had any thoughts you wanted to share on the report.

Russian Propaganda at it's finest, if anyone around the world believes that load of bollocks, I'll sell them Tower Bridge for a tenner and throw in the Tower of London for a fiver, any takers.

You can always tell when a Russian is lying. Their lips are moving.

I don’t think are any numbers in the report to crunch really, for the most part they’re totaled by category for us already. The report was published in 2017, and is only 21 pages in length and sufficiently describes the total number of pieces and systems given to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces that were funded by the U.S. Since the Afghan Defense and Security Forces no longer exist. I’d say pretty much everything in that report now belongs to the Taliban.

I found these to be rather significant.

16,000 Night vision devices. 22 ground based surveillance systems. I used the word crunch incorrectly. Still, these are significant losses. No matter how you look at it, it's not good. These numbers don't include the loss of A U.S RQ-170 Sentinel drone that Iran managed to seize in 2011. Certainly, reverse engineering this drone has helped Iran engineer the drones now being used against the Ukraine and that are being to sent to Russia.

Quote: Officials from Russia and China – which have close trade ties with Iran, and oppose Western efforts to increase pressure – "have asked for permission to inspect the US spy drone," Iranian media reported.

Now that the UK is collapsing.Only Keir Starmer and the One world
Order can save the Uk.yes the left have no answers.For anything until you elect them.Ya know Liz Truss was the sacrificial lamb..How any political party can not have a predetermined successor i don't know. When JFK was killed.We had a new President before the plane left Texas.As an American i think it's all bull****, i watched a damn clown show. And this is not about Liz Truss,None of her proposals went into effect This is about Moving to a one party rule,The real Fascist. OK if the Markets can determine What goes up and what goes down.Why have a Prime Minister of a country or a President. They have nothing but a name a title. Let's find out who are the top of the Markets. Who are they? And when we find out lets put them in power. They are smarter than the goodlooking and Dumbass politicians they pay for.

Nope. Won't happen until after the American mid term Elections. If the Democrats "The Woke" are still in power.I can see 100's of women with pink pussy hats and rainbow colored hair flying into Ukraine. Joe Biden's reserve warriors. And then America will go Nuclear.

Ukraine's national energy company has urged citizens to "charge everything" by 07:00 (04:00 GMT) Thursday because of expected power cuts caused by Russian missile strikes.

Energy plants were hit by Russian missiles again on Wednesday - part of a wave of such strikes since 10 October.

Outages of up to four hours at a time will affect the whole country on Thursday, grid operator Ukrenergo said.

It comes as Russia declares martial law in areas of Ukraine it has annexed.

Heightened security measures have also come into force in Russia - mostly areas along the Ukraine border.

In preparation for the blackouts, Ukrenergo has appealed to Ukrainians to stock up with water and ensure they have "warm socks and blankets and hugs for family and friends".

Phones, power banks, torches and batteries need to be charged, it urged.

As much as 40% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been seriously damaged, according to Oleksandr Kharchenko, an adviser to the energy minister.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said three energy facilities had been destroyed on Wednesday and energy companies were preparing for "all possible scenarios" for winter. He was due to address a summit of EU leaders, who are trying to reach an agreement on bringing down gas prices.

EU introduced anti-Iranian sanctions for supply of drones to Russia

The EU Council approved sanctions against Iran for supplying drones that struck Ukraine.

The Czech Presidency of the EU Council announced this on Twitter, Censor.NET reports.

"Sanctions against Iran in record time! After three days of negotiations, EU ambassadors agreed on measures against organizations that supply Iranian drones that struck Ukraine. The written procedure has been completed, the sanctions will enter into force this afternoon after publication in the "Official Journal" (of the European Union)," the message reads.

It is also noted that EU countries have decided to freeze the assets of three individuals and one legal entity responsible for the supply of drones. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3375051

I have to ask-How reliable is this ?
And
Are we witnessing a false flag being build up here ?
Will they use this as an excuse for them to use nukes ?

American company Texas Instruments, whose electronics were found in Russian missiles, is still helping Russia bombard Ukraine. VIDEO&PHOTOS

The American company Texas Instruments, whose electronics were found in Russian missiles, still has not left the aggressor country.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to "Economic Truth".

Since 2014, the EU and the US have imposed export restrictions on dual-use goods that can be used in military products.

Despite this, many Western companies are finding alternative ways to conduct trade in the huge Russian market. And some generally ignored such sanctions and continued cooperation with the aggressor country, helping it prepare for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Already after February 24, banned chips and electronics manufactured by the EU and the USA began to be found en masse in the weapons with which Russia has been terrorizing Ukraine for more than eight months. Some of these items were made decades ago, but not all. Foreign components have also been found in modern technology, in particular, in military drones.

Processors from the American company Texas Instruments were found in Iranian "Shahed-136" kamikaze drones. This is stated in a report published by the Strategic Communications Department of the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Earlier research was conducted by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London. He detailed 318 components from 57 American companies, most of them from Analog Devices and Texas Instruments.

While Analog Devices announced its withdrawal from the Russian market at the beginning of March, Texas Instruments remains neutral. The official website still has the address of the Moscow office and an active Russian phone number.

The London report details 50 unique components manufactured by Texas Instruments in several Russian weapons.

In particular, we are talking about digital signal processors in the Russian Iskander cruise missiles, the CAN transceiver in the kamikaze UAV electronic detonator, power control modules in the Orlan-10 drone, as well as audio codecs and converters in several radio stations used by the Russian army.

Texas Instruments has been working in the Russian Federation for at least two decades: the distribution agreement was concluded back in 2001. Already after 2014, when Ukraine asked the world for sanctions, the American company continued to cooperate with the terrorist country: it signed documents and held seminars.
