Ukraine is losing that war. The Jig Is Up and NATO knows it. Ukraine will never be allowed to become a member.
A new narrative element is creeping in with talks about a ceasefire in Ukraine. It would give the Ukraine time to refit its military.
But Russia has absolutely no reason to agree to a pause in the fight. During the war its military has become larger and better and a total defeat of the Ukrainian army is only a question of time.
The U.S. and NATO will soon have lost their big proxy war against Russia.
In light of this reality the much larger, centuries old narrative of the superior West is also breaking down.
This will have global consequences for decades to come.
Remember before the 2014 invasion, when you could buy an American Dollar with 30 Russian Rubles?
Now it takes more than 90.
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Remember when Russians thought that the Afghan invasion produced a lot of boys in zinc caskets?
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
I am old enough to remember Russian propagandists saying that Finland and Sweden would never join NATO. NATO expansion is now non-negotiable. Because of Putin.
