Strategic Command’s Post

"Ukraine is a bulwark against Russian expansionism in Europe." "If the United States opts to send military advisers to Ukraine, there will invariably be backlash from analysts worried about escalation. These analysts will argue that Russia—in response to the presence of U.S. advisers—could take extreme measures including attacking another state, such as Moldova. But these fears would be overblown. Russia is in no position to escalate the conflict with conventional weapons given that it has its hands more than full fighting against Ukrainian forces. And Moscow has little to gain by attacking a NATO member, which would draw the United States deeper into the war and put Russia in an even weaker position. Russia could also escalate by using its nuclear weapons—a prospect that everyone should take seriously. But all available evidence suggests that Moscow will not resort to its nuclear arsenal." "Deploying these advisers would help Kyiv in multiple ways. At the most basic level, the advisers would give Washington a nuanced understanding of the conflict, allowing it to select and provide the most effective weapons, equipment, and training in a precise and timely fashion. These insights would also be valuable for the U.S. armed forces. Ukraine is, at this point, the world’s most experienced military power when it comes to confronting a near-peer adversary on the battlefield. Acquiring firsthand experience and insights from the Ukrainian battlefields could prove indispensable to Washington, especially if it has to fight against China or Russia in the future.  Training inside Ukraine would also yield immediate battlefield benefits. Kyiv, pressed for time and needing its soldiers on the front-lines, struggles to dispatch the majority of its soldiers abroad for training. This constraint denies its forces the opportunity for high-quality instruction. As a result, many soldiers die for completely preventable reasons, including simple blood loss that most Western troops can treat through tactical combat casualty care training. Bringing U.S. trainers into Ukraine would rectify this unfortunate situation, and it would help well-trained soldiers reach the front-lines much faster than they do today."

🇪🇸🤝🇺🇦 Spain to Provide Extensive Military Aid to Ukraine Spain's Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, announced a substantial military aid package for Ukraine under the Ramstein format.

After thorough analysis I realised that there are two basic and fundamental structural defects in the constitution of UN which are 1. Veto Power System for the permanent members of the security council of UN. Since there is a body of all stakeholders in the form of General Assembly wherein all member- countries of the UN are represented there is absolutely no need of Security Council to accept or reject the resolutions passed by General Assembly. As such Security Council should be dissolved forthwith. 2. All member countries of UN are not signatory to the Rome statute consequently some countries are not under the International Criminal Court (ICC) whereas all the member countries have to be under the jurisdiction of ICC so that peace prevails in the world. . Due to these defects America has made a mockery of the UN as it is reduced to a puppet in the hands of the America. Consequently America with some allies have invaded several Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and looted these countries then leaving these countries after the loot is complete. Presently America with the help of Israel (both countries are not under the jurisdiction of ICC) is demolishing, doing cold blooded mass murders, devastation, destruction , displacement, ethenic cleansing, murder especially of children and women and genocide and the whole world including the UN have to be mute spectators of all this and nobody has the powers to question them because of these defects in the constitution of UN. More than seven decades have passed by but the above-mentioned defects in the constitution of UN were not rectified. Non-rectification of these defects has created a very grave situation as instead of peace maintaining organisation UN became a weapon of blackmailing and means of invading and looting the rich countries by some countries which were having the veto power also besides these countries were not signatory to the Rome statute consequently these countries were not under the jurisdiction of ICC. As the result these countries became law per se and virtually became terrorist countries of the world because they were not answerable to any forum for whatever they do. Now the climax of lawlessness has reached in Palestine where total devastation, destruction, cold blooded mass murders, genocide, ethenic cleansing, kidnapping and rape of innocent and unarmed civilians is being done and the whole world including UN have to be mute spectators because of the basic and fundamental defects in the constitution of UN have not been rectified. This is the highest time these defects are rectified by the General Assembly. Let General Assembly wake up after decades of slumber and rectify the defects as proposed above.

The U.S military is increasing its military buildup in Guam due to its strategic location in the Pacific. Concerns are being raised that a rise in military presence brings with it inadvertent negative effects and raises numerous human rights concerns. Noting the dialogue below, what can the government of Guam do to better prepare itself to mitigate these threats? #Guamhri #guam #humantraffickingawareness #china #humanrights Mary Kate S. | Erika Anderson, PhD Veteran Voices | Supply Chain Now

Lithuania delivers Ukraine a new defense aid package, and Switzerland eases requirements for arms exports. On December 20, Ukraine received another package of military aid from Lithuania. It contains necessary field equipment and thousands of dry rations for the Armed Forces. In 2023, Lithuanian instructors trained about 2,900 Ukrainian military personnel in Lithuania as part of a multinational program in the UK and the EU’s mission. In 2024, Lithuanian instructors will join the training of about 3,500 Ukrainian military personnel as part of the EU EUMAM mission, Operation Interflex, in the UK and Lithuania. Meanwhile, both houses of the Swiss parliament have approved an amendment to legislation that eases requirements for arms exports. Therefore, the Swiss government can deviate from the criteria for licensing the export of weapons abroad "in exceptional circumstances" if it corresponds to protecting the interests of foreign policy or security policy. The new amendment, in theory, will allow Switzerland to approve the re-export of weapons to Ukraine. https://lnkd.in/de_bzke2

This is a continuing maritime and national security update from Sanborn Analytics. The Biden administration has announced a substantial military aid package of 345 million dollars for Taiwan, in accordance with its legal commitment to protect the island nation under a treaty agreement. This marks the first major assistance from the United States to Taiwan, utilizing its own weapon stockpiles to strengthen Taiwan's defenses. The comprehensive aid package encompasses air defense systems, firearms, and missiles, along with valuable training support for the Taiwanese military. The United States' commitment to safeguarding Taiwan comes in light of the treaty agreement (enacted 4/10/1979 TRA) that underscores the importance of bolstering the island's security. Furthermore, as part of its broader strategy, the U.S. is dedicated to expanding NATO's presence into Asia. This commitment reflects the country's aim to promote stability and cooperation in the region, ensuring a strong and interconnected network of allied nations. While Taiwan welcomes the aid as a significant step in enhancing its defense capabilities, China views it with disapproval, maintaining its position of considering Taiwan as a breakaway province and an integral part of its territory. Nevertheless, the U.S. remains steadfast in its support for Taiwan and its commitment to regional security and cooperation through NATO expansion in Asia.
