Despicable Russian propaganda, or a script for the next Tucker Carlson show.
“The world has adjusted to Russia’s inflexible demand and unmatched military superiority backed up by China.”

China would very much like to receive the gas and oil that Putin now sells to Europe. The Chinese would be more than willing to finance any Russian cash shortages for some long term considerations. Putin no doubt is upsetting his generals by delaying this action until the Winter Olympics in China are concluded. Very much doubt the US will get any cooperation from China to restrict Putin.

“She thus acknowledges what everyone had already concluded: the US and NATO lack the capability.”

We lack the will.

“We lack the will”.

You have it backwards. If there is no capability, the “Will” to do something doesn’t matter.

USA out of NATO and Europe. We no longer have any business in Europe.

Let Europe stew in it’s own juices.

The Will to do what? Poke our noses into every little thing that doesn’t concern us?

Most countries saw Washington’s refusal to agree to the Russian mutual security proposal

Pure pro-Russian BS. That "Russian mutual security proposal" is Putin's crazy demand that NATO leave eastern Europe: including Poland, the former Soviet countries of Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, returning those countries to "captive nations" status.

Biden and his handlers were out-foxed by Putin.

Putin basically broke up NATO.

Biden energy policies totally backfired.

Germany didn’t need to be dependent on Russian energy but Biden insured that by cutting American energy production and begging energy producers like OPEC to fill in the gap.

Russia has filled one big gap.

Not hard to do.

I hope not. Zhukov was a very capable general.

Yep. Everything the Left does backfires on them because it’s always about ideology.

Victoria Nuland, the neoconservative war monger appointed Undersecretary of State by the White House fool, announced Washington’s surrender when she called on China to use its influence with Russia to save Ukraine from invasion.

These are the same people who gave us never-ending war and chaos in Libya, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, now Ukraine - and within the United States itself.

There's no limit to their stupidity.

And Zhukov had millions under his command, not a piddly 120,000.

“And Zhukov had millions under his command, not a piddly 120,000.”

Not always.

An interesting anecdote: Zhukov commanded the attack that crushed Berlin and pretty much ended the war in Europe. Zhukov ordered his troops to locate Hitler, or his body. Unbeknownst to Zhukov, Stalin’s toadies had found the body, and, under Stalin’s orders, Zhukov was not told about it, and was only informed 15 years later.

Posting an article is NOT being troll.

Commenting the way you did is being a troll.

How about an intelligent counter point?

By the way, Ukrainians are confirming this is the Biden Admin hyping things up and trying to start a war. See the links below.
