Merit and decency are such outdated white concepts.
Degenerate non white culture is our path to enlightenment.
Favelas, voodoo, and rape are freedom.
The Owen Theory from day . . . oh about 10 . . . has been that the only possible end to the war must derive from:
1) Neither side will trust the other. At all. Negotiations cannot make any sense.
2) The military leadership of Ukraine went to university with the Russian leadership, to the same military training adjunct facilities at those universities (like ROTC in the US, the largest source of US officers) and thus they have been classmates for decades.
3) And so a military overthrow of the Ukraine govt is the only possible resolution, with the military junta killing all CIA and MI6 people on site, refusing to take any political positions at all ending all pursuit of either EU or NATO membership, and devoting itself to bringing their troops home to help keep the lights on and trains running on time. A purely technocrat government.
4) The Russians will then bring their own troops home and the western media will declare a huge victory. After all, the government remains a government of Ukrainians, despite no NATO or EU alignment.
Point being, the CIA and MI6 are very much aware this is the only possible resolution so they will command these frequent reshuffles, to keep people from organizing the aforementioned coup.
