Ukrainian officials claim that they almost never launch #HIMARS projectiles without detailed coordinates provided by #US military personnel located elsewhere in #Europe.

A senior US official claims that targeting assistance serves to ensure accuracy and conserve limited ammunition stocks for maximum effectiveness. The US provides precise coordinates and targeting information in an advisory capacity only, the official said.

Another Ukrainian official confirmed that all targets pass through a US facility on #NATO soil and described the process as "very fast." The Washington Post withheld the name of the base at the request of US officials who cited security concerns.

Ukraine’s rocket campaign reliant on U.S. precision targeting, officials say

Ukrainian officials say that they almost never launch HIMARS rounds without precise coordinates provided by U.S. military personnel, revealing a more operationally active role for the Pentagon in the war than previously known.

And then you have these American politicians and scholars, kind of reaching this consensus that this is best as a strategy of making Ukraine into a new Afghanistan for Russia, to weaken Russia. At no point does anyone explain why making Ukraine into a Afghanistan - which is destruction of the whole country - is in Ukraine's interest

I think we've been exploiting [Ukraine], using them as a dagger against Russia. Again, we've been quite open about this. Some people dismiss this as a conspiracy theory. But look through the American think-tank reports over the past few years, like Rand corporation. They very openly state: This is a great opportunity, now we can just pump in weapons and can bleed the Russians for their lives and their treasury.

In a conflict, you want to give people a role. You have the victim, you have the villain, and then you have the hero coming in. My simple point: NATO is not a hero here, the US has not been a hero. We're helping Ukraine like we are helping the Kurds. We use them as our front-line fighters, and then we throw them away. This is how proxy wars work.
