NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization

After World War Two, ‘Western’ European and North Atlantic countries formed NATO, specifically to counter the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991-92, but NATO has since expanded its reach around the world.

Japan’s Prime Minister, Kishida Fumio, attended a ‘bilateral meeting’ at the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, on 12JUL2023.

‘Special’ bilateral meeting with Japan, 12JUL2023.

“No other Partner is closer to NATO than Japan.”-Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General

“…security is not regional, security is global.”-Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General

“We are, of course, also concerned with China’s heavy military build-up… and its expansion of nuclear forces…”-Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General

“Welcome to NATO”, video released 12JUL2023:

“Japan and NATO share the understanding that unilateral attempts to change the status quo…. will not be tolerated, regardless of where in the world.”-Kishida Fumio, Prime Minister of Japan

“…we will cooperate in new security areas, such as cyber… destructive technologies, and strategic communications including countering information manipulation.”-Kishida Fumio, Prime Minister of Japan

Please notice that NATO uses British/King’s English grammar/spelling in its press releases, not U.S. English, which is proof to me that NATO is a tool of the British empire (Commonwealth of Nations)!

Forever Wars: Baptism-of-Fire for New ‘Berezhok’, in Ukraine!

Video July 12, 2023 Hutchins AAron

On 10JUL2023, Russian news outlet RIA Novosti reported that the ‘new’ BMP-2M ‘Berezhok’ successfully attacked Ukrainian positions outside the city of Avdiivka (Avdeevka).

The BMP-2M is an upgrade of the Cold War era Soviet BMP-2. BMP stands for Boyevaya Mashina Pekhoty (Боевая Машина Пехоты), literally Combat Vehicle Infantry.

The crew of the BMP-2M used their 30mm gun and two 9M133 Kornet missiles to destroy a Ukrainian machinegun nest, and a Ukrainian truck carrying troops. The BMP-2M also has a 30mm grenade launcher.

Video released by RIA Novosti claiming to show the Berezhok in combat near Avdiivka:

Berezhok is the name of a city in the south-west area that is part of the dispute between Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists.

It was part of a deal in which Czech Republic agreed to buy new-build Combat Vehicle (CV)-90 ‘tanks’ from Sweden, and gave Ukraine older Soviet era military equipment: “We got the tanks for supporting Ukraine. The support of Ukraine is absolutely correct and necessary, I am proud of it.”-Major General Karel Řehka, Chief of the General Staff of the Army Czech Republic (ACR)

On 15JUN2023, Serbia hosted the U.S./NATO Platinum Wolf wargame, for the first time since 2021. Serbia halted the Platinum Wolf wargame due to NATO’s support for Ukraine, but, after a meeting with U.S. military officials in March 2023, Serbia agreed to continue Platinum Wolf.

On 16JUN2023, it was announced that a Serbian Sergeant First Class had been killed in a vehicle accident near the disputed boundary line with Kosovo and Metohija, in the village of Drenovac. Metohija is the province claimed by Serbia, yet disputed by Kosovo and NATO. Apparently, rumors were being spread that the accident actually happened during the Platinum Wolf wargame.

Cold War to Battle for Ukraine: Slovak BMP (BVP) & OT-90

During the ‘Cold War’, Czech-o-Slovakia was one country created by the victors of World War Two by forcing Slovakia and Czech Republic together (just as they did after World War One). Czech-o-Slovakia became a member of the Warsaw Pact in response to the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

In the Czech-o-Slovak language the BMP became Bojové Vozidlo Pěchoty (BVP), which means basically the same thing as the Russian BMP; Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). Like most users of the BMP/BVP, Czech-o-Slovakia made many different versions, including their unique OT-90.

According to the current Ministry of Defense of Czech Republic (aka Chechia), the OT-90 was developed to carry a squad of infantry equipped with anti-aircraft weapons.

The large turret of the BMP/BVP was replaced with a smaller turret (same used on the Czech-o-Slovak designed OT-64 armored car), to make room for the specialized anti-aircraft weapons.

After the so-called Cold War ended, Czech Republic and Slovakia went their separate ways, and since there was no more Soviet-Warsaw Pact, they both joined NATO (NATO felt it necessary to remain in existence, even though its stated enemy the Soviet Union no longer existed). Today’s NATO-Czechia replaced their OT-90s with NATO-United Kingdom designed Land Rover vehicles. NATO-Slovakia still uses the OT-90.

End of Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: Those decades when U.S. taxpayers supplied Russia with USAID!

Image May 8, 2023 Hutchins AAron

USAID photo, date and location not given.

According to U.S. federal government sources, the official date of the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), and the end of the undeclared Cold War, was December 1991. But even before that, in December 1990, the United States had begun distributing taxpayer funded humanitarian aid to the Soviet Union, via the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Project HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere).

USAID photo, date and location not given, but you can see by the 1980s Ford pick-up marked with the Marriott Hotel logo that it’s possibly somewhere in the U.S.

Russian Ilyushin Il-76 (NATO reporting name Candid) cargo planes were allowed onto U.S. territory to be loaded with Project HOPE supplies. I assume that the USAID photos seen here are from the December 1990 to December 1991 period, as the planes still carry the flag of the Soviet Union on their tails.

Tail-end of Russian Il-76 filled with Project HOPE supplies. USAID photo.

I discovered that USAID itself does not talk about the deliveries to the USSR during the last year of the Cold War, referring only to the former republics (like Russia), or the ‘former’ Soviet Union, when talking about their taxpayer funded deliveries.

U.S. taxpayer funded aid increased in 1992, due to the Freedom for Russia and Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets Support Act.

USAID began their official involvement with Ukraine in 1992.

In August 1995, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) published assessments of several USAID operations inside Russia. It revealed that “Hundreds of U.S. contractors and grantees are responsible for implementing individual projects in the 13 sectors.” Also that “USAID did not adequately manage some projects it funded. The devolution of management and monitoring responsibility from USAID’s Washington office to its Moscow office delayed decision-making and created confusion among contractors. Furthermore, USAID’s management information systems were inadequate, and it did not adequately monitor or coordinate some projects.”

In September 2012 (the year the Ukraine Crisis actually began, the coup taking place in 2014), USAID announced they were halting their Russian operations at the request of the Russian government. Russia accused USAID of funding/supplying Russian rebels.

Project HOPE was created during the early years of the Cold War, in 1958, by the United States. Its mission statement was to help poorer countries with healthcare needs.

Robot Wars: China’s self-flying Antonov Maize, a modernized Cold War Aircraft

Video March 1, 2023 Hutchins AAron

In April 2022, CCTV-10 aired a two part Innovation and Progress report, showing the development of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) cargo plane, Feihong FH-98. Part 1:

Part 2:

“The exercise met our expected objective. It is very significant for our unmanned logistics chain in future warfare.”-Bi Guangyuan, executive director in charge of recent testing, June 2019

In June 2019, China’s National Defense University of People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, put to the final tests a new robot cargo aircraft.

Photo via CGTN, 23JUN2019.

The aircraft is unmistakable, it is the only type of its kind, a bi-plane cargo/agricultural aircraft, designed and built in the Soviet Union just after The Great Patriotic War (World War Two). In 1957, during the non-declared Cold War, Communist China got a license to build the Antonov An-2 Maize (NATO reporting name Colt) as the Yunshu (Yunshuji, later becoming Shifei) Y-5, but this modern version of the Maize has no crew. The new crewless version of the Maize is called Feihong-98 (FH-98).

In Zhangye, northwestern Gansu Province, the robot An-2/FH-98 had to complete three final tests; fast load 5-hundred kilograms of cargo, a short range airdrop mission, and a long range air drop mission. The tests were declared successful, and China’s PLA now has a viable robot cargo aircraft.
