According to him, the US-made Abrams tanks, for example, are not designed for cold weather conditions, and this winter the tracks of this armor may break down.

Pentagon Ex-Advisor: Not Many US Military Stocks Left, Almost All Sent to Ukraine

The Ukrainian conflict has significantly depleted US military assets, said Colonel Douglas McGregor, a former Defense Department advisor and military analyst.

“We have sent almost all of our war stocks, weapons systems and ammunition to Ukraine. We don't have a great deal left. The war in Ukraine is lost. Make Peace you fools!” McGregor commented on X (formerly Twitter).

McGregor has previously pointed out that the Ukrainian Army is on the verge of collapse due to mass desertion, adding that Ukrainian commanders are surrendering entire platoons because they are unable to evacuate wounded soldiers.

Moscow has repeatedly stated that Western military supplies do not bode well for Ukraine and only prolong the conflict. In addition, vehicles carrying supplied weapons are a legitimate target for the Russian Army.

Israel's military intelligence knew of Hamas' plans to attack a year before the conflict escalated and reported the information to the Israeli Security Agency, but decision-makers did not take the threat seriously, Israeli newspaper Haaretz has reported, citing Defense Ministry officials.

Tel Aviv's political leaders knew at least some of the intelligence data, but it appears they did not believe Hamas could proceed with the attack plan and breach the border, the officials were cited as saying by the newspaper.

Earlier, the Financial Times reported that a high-ranking Israeli military intelligence officer had called a detailed warning predicting a Hamas attack on October 7 an "imaginary scenario."

'BBC has lost spirit of real journalism'

🗣 “I do agree that the British Broadcasting Corporation is obviously biased towards Palestinian people,” London-based foreign affairs analyst Adriel Kasonta told Sputnik.

For him, saying the BBC is humanizing Israel's casualties in the conflict is “very obvious.”

Kasonta was echoed by Lebanese reporter and journalist Hussein Izzedin, who slammed the UK broadcaster as “yellow press” that “has lost the spirit of real journalism due to its biased approach to events taking place in Palestine and beyond.”

🗣 “What the BBC is doing now will leave a new black mark on its longstanding history of intransigence and complete lack of objectivity, as if they were a party to this [Palestine-Israel] conflict,” Izzedin stressed in an interview with Sputnik.

Earlier, a group of BBC journalists accused the broadcaster of bias and double standards in covering the escalation of the conflict, which has been underway since October 7.
