This is a total failure of natofop/neoconwanker planninig and intelligence. They had no realistic idea of what they were getting into.

..I don’t have a dog in this fight....I opposed our sending billions if not trillions of aid, military and otherwise, to which is perhaps the most corrupt country in Europe, and was never on board that the Uke could take on Russia’s military might and come out as the winner...but could at least some credit be given to Col. Douglas MacGregor who said almost from the beginning that all the reports coming out about Ukraine’s military victories was pure horse**t propaganda and lies....

They have every idea. It has never been about winning or even about Ukraine surviving. It is about the opportunity to manipulate a crisis to make people support the movement of money to a cause that can be exploited financially. The wealthy will always use the power of government to protect and promote their own wealth. This includes people in government who want wealth.

I wish this war would end and no matter who claims “victory” because the human costs are very real. The only “winners” I see are China and our military industrial complex.

Beyond the loss of life and all the misery, my children are LESS safe today because of this, our nation is further in debt, Ukraine is destroyed demographically (and literally), and the other world nuclear superpower is less stable with hardliners growing in power.

The active conflict will end at some point, but the new cold war has just begun with geopolitical possibilities for America that were not likely two years ago. The infrastructure of America is falling apart and inflation is rampant but it is certain we will borrow tens of billions of dollars to rebuild the Ukraine.

The love of money is the root of all evil.

The growth of the BRICS nations is also an outcome here. For many countries, they saw what the United States did to Afghanistan and are frankly sick of our bullcrap. They are actively seeking an alternative and are creating a bipolar world away from the influences of the West. The fact that 130 nations were recently represented in St. Petersburg for an economic summit indicates that the world is not on our side.

I doubt that...they ALWAYS knew how it would end. That’s why there will likely be war crime tribunals after this crap ends.

“The love of money is the root of all evil.”

In general true, but for Victoria Nuland and Milly, I’d replace the above with “The hatred of Russia is the root of their evil.” If those two Ukrainians hadn’t worked their way into power in the US, there would be no war in Ukraine.

Accountability is so 1945.

This is the 21st century where our betters are above the laws they create, while we languish as political prisoners without a trial.

20,000 troops dead and the Ukrainians can't even reach the first Russian line of defense.

————-
Let’s not forget after four weeks of the grand “ offensive “, the Western wonder
Weapons and specially trained brigades trained in the West have been badly mauled.

The smoking hulks of Leopard II A6, Bradley’s, MRAPs, Humvees and a sprinkling of Strykers flood the news worldwide….18-20 percent of the western weapons donated for the offensive are now kaput….so what does senile Joe do?….announces he is sending 30 more Bradleys!

The “ last Ukrainian “ is beginning to gel up.

You should name the source that produced the videos.

Just saying youtube isn’t very helpful.

How is it lack of planning by NATO?

NATO did not start the war.

In spite of being surprised by the Russian attack, Ukraine stopped the attack before significant NATO weapons were brought into play.

It seems smart weapons have neutralized the Russian advantage in dumb artillery.

It is a video from Brian Berletic. He's a big fan of Russia and writes for a number of leftist publications. Places like New Eastern Outlook Journal, Popular Resistance, Dissident Voice, The Grayzone etc.

If you want to know what the Russian psyops team wants put out to the world Berletic is a good source.

I’m not sure our war criminals will fare as well in Moscow.
