At some point in the next weeks or months the West will be forced to concede that it cannot continue pouring billions into Ukraine without inflicting enormous damage on its own economies and people. At that point the memes of Russian weakness and defeat will crumble. NATO faces the real risk of being demilitarized. But it will not be the result of a frontal assault by Russia. Russia will continue doing what it is doing — i.e., pulverizing Western wonder weapons and bleeding the Ukrainian and foreign mercenaries with artillery and missiles.

A few cold hard facts...

1. The time for Ukraine to win this war has passed (without direct and massive
direct NATO involvement). NATO would have had to directly intervened in February, and much more muscular actions were needed in February and March. This includes flooding the markets with energy, cutting off Russia, CSTO, and China completly from international trade, and an airlift of weaponry to Ukraine early on on a scale never seen before. Now it appears that both sides want this to drag on, the West as it appears to be a money laundering op for its politicians, and Russia who gets to use it as an excuse to purge domestic opposition, nationalize industry and build up their military.

2. Russia is not our friend. It’s a Communist country. If Russia wins in Ukraine Holodomor 2 will take place. And the USSR will be fully restored. The Russian Orthodox Church was and still is a Communist institution, and has been since its corruption under Stalin during WWII.

3. The West isn’t handling this right when it comes to domestic policy. Our “climate change” agenda combines woth the left opposing any sort of appreciable arms buildup is making it impossible to continue supporting Ukraine without massive retooling and refocus of western industry (see point 1). The Defense Production Act should have been used starting in February to solve these issues and to get energy on the markets and replenish weapons stocks.

4. Provoking the Chinese without a game plan was also idiotic, and only drove them closer to Putin. But remember that China and Russia are ideologically compatable. And Xi is the Wests final target per Soros.

5. Taking on Russia and China (and their allies) right now is a check we currently can’t cash. Even with BRAC and Defense cuts during the first two years of Biden the military is still unable to fill its bullets, even with lower standards. This was the case even before the vaccine mandates and CRT became widespread. Now it’s much worse.

6. Much more advanced weapons were needed to be sent early on and in large quantities. Waiting until now wasn’t smart.

I assume by your screen name that you are a female reverend in the United Methodist Church. You throw out a lot of Scripture so I would imagine you have read 1Timothy2:12?

I just heard from my sources directly inside the Kremlin and they tell me that Putin has already lost 398,976,948 of his soldiers to the Incredible Heroic Army­™ led by the piano dick-playing, high heel wearing, gay dancing, grifting Greatest Freedom Fighter Of All Time™ (He's grifting and fighting for all of us!!!) Zelenskyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

Also, I can now report that 400,000 American idiots, grifters, scumbags and Soros and WEF-loving propagandists have reported for duty to join the Incrtedible Ukrainian Army™ in a demonstration of their life-long desire to Free The Donbas™ (It is freedom for all of us!!!)

Take that, Putin!!!!
