Yes Conference 2023:
Path to Victory: A View from the US Government
Speaker:
• Victoria Nuland (Online)
Only one question: Does the path to victory involve handing out cookies?
Also thank you to the the Viktor Pinchuk Foundation for organizing the event.
And if I may - hows your husband doing these days, now that the Hoover Institution successfully deplatformed Mearsheimer and allowed Kotkin to craft the western war narrative ten days after the start of the war?

Natalia Gumeniuk (the moderator in the Nuland video), for those who dont know her here, is a ukrainian PR person, doing focus testing, on what messaging to use to educate the public on topics in regard to the ukraine war (https://en.journlab.online/home). Her agency is funded by the ukrainian government and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University. Stavros Niachos was the, since deceased, greek billionaire shipping company mogule who got to buy all US war ships in europe after WW2 for pennies on the dollar, to start his shipping empire with. Ah the stories.…
Here is Gumeniuk telling an audience, how great the ukrainian patrol police is, which all journalists in the Ukraine have to get accredited by, by now. Including a christmas tree in the story and everything.… Great people, by the way, which invited her to concerts first and later also organized the first journalists trips to Bucha. (Just one guy in the audience wasnt complying and asked a nasty question, otherwise that event was great.):
edit: Oh thats so neat!
Victoria Nuland: We have to deliver more Javelins to Taiwan, because those are great “defensive weapons”.
24.11.2019: Zagorodnyuk on getting back the Donbas:
The aid, including counter-artillery battery radar, night-vision gear and patrol boats, has since [in the later parts of the Trump administration] been unfrozen and is making a real difference to Ukrainian forces fighting Russian-backed separatists in eastern districts.
But it is the Javelin which appears to be a game-changer, Ukraine’s defense minister told CBC News.
“In certain areas, they can make a critical difference,” said Andriy Zagorodnyuk.

In certain defensive areas in Donbas, of course…
Wer kennt sie nicht die defensiven Raketenwerfer Brigaden der leichten Infanterie… Zur Verteidigung gegen die schlecht ausgerüsteten und nicht gepanzerten Invasionstruppen der Chinesen beim Angriff auf Taiwan…
Rocket artillery cannot usually match the accuracy and sustained rate of fire of conventional gun artillery. They may be capable of very destructive strikes by delivering a large mass of explosives simultaneously, thus increasing the shock effect and giving the target less time to take cover. Modern computer-controlled conventional artillery have recently begun to acquire the possibility to do something similar through MRSI but it is an open question if MRSI is really practical in a combat situation. On the other hand, precision-guided rocket artillery demonstrates extreme accuracy, comparable with the best guided gun artillery systems.

The higher accuracy of gun artillery means that it can be used to attack an enemy close to a friendly force. This, combined with the higher capacity for sustained fire, makes gun artillery more suitable than rocket artillery for defensive fire.

Rocket launchers are also commonly categorized as artillery, since rockets perform much the same function as artillery projectiles, but the term artillery is more properly limited to large gun-type weapons using an exploding propellant charge to shoot a projectile along an unpowered trajectory
