Wishful thinking from Putin’s meat grinder.
Very good article. He spells out the current situation well, but I do not agree with his conclusions that the U.S. or the rest of NATO will continue the sanction campaign regardless of the devastating effects it is having on the West.
From my perspective it appears the will to continue this is already starting to crumble and this is likely to pick up speed as the suffering escalates.
The president of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce has already openly spoke out on the need to end sanctions. Macron and Scholz (according to a Ukrainian telegram source) have already devised a Minsk 3 plan that they are trying to push on Zelensky. Germany is blocking the EU 9 billion euro financing plan and the one billion euro IMF loan and not only has Germany been slow walking and delaying shipping to Ukraine the weapons they had previously pledged; but the Defense Minister has denied the previously promised 200 fuchs armoured personnel carriers saying that Germany needed to keep their weapons for their own defense.
The Italian government is in a crisis and may fall and the two main groups there are at odds about continuing to supply Ukraine. And some of the Eastern EU members have been cold to the sanction plan all along because it creates devastating harm for them. Etc., etc., etc.,
People may not recognize it yet; but this whole program is in the process of imploding.

Good morning Boris! Good morning Natasha! How’s the weather in dear old Moskva this morning?
Stop posting this blog in the News/Activism Forum.
You can’t post anything about Russia Ukraine if you look like you are taking a side. Flame wars are raging on every thread about the conflict. It’s the Putin Stooges versus the Ukraine Resistance. I only come here to see the insults.
