Ukraine Is on the Cusp of Losing This War: ‘We’re Screwed’
DNYUZ ^ | 12/12/23 | DNYUZ

PARIS—All bets on world peace slid off the table when Louis XV opened the École Militaire.

Nearly three centuries of belligerences later, and with more than $200 billion of Western cash gambled on Ukraine beating Russia, the military academy that once trained Napoleon last week assembled 100 military, political, finance, academic, and business leaders with intimate knowledge of the war to privately game out what happens next.

Before long, amid steely glances and chattering wine glasses, you’ll hear the anguished and morally obtuse story on the four lethal conflicts taking place in Ukraine: diplomatic, military, economic, and information.

If there were 100 leaders there with intimate knowledge of US politics and the war….none of them were quoted in this article.

No wonder Europe is screwed.

They seem more worried about Trump than anything else.

"all of Europe, is being stormed by Russian gangsters"

Europe seems to be ok, via liberal immigration and refugee policies, being stormed by gangsters from Albania, Romania, etc.

Here’s an article from Wall Street Journal today, talking about the state of EU military

A few facts from it:

UK has total 150 operable tanks
Germany has less than 200
France has less than 90 heavy artillery pieces.

They pushed Ukraine into the meat grinder and to serve their woke-globalist goals, while they fund their social programs at home

Hysterical article, you will savor every morsel of overwrought Uke propaganda.

Especially delightful is Congressman Steve “Chicken” Cohen saying that the only way to save the Ukraine war is to bring the 100,000 Ukrainian Baptists to the US to evangelize the MAGA crowd, and to get Taylor Swift to spew Uke talking points.

This article seems a poor effort to ape Babylon Bee. I do like the part about getting Taylor Swift involved.

The fear of Trump, across the board in "the West", is like nothing since les Cent-Jours brought Napoleon to Waterloo, where the Seventh Coalition ended him once and for all.

Here's the same article on the Daily Beast, complete with author. I don't believe JR allows the DB here, so I posted an alternative.
