IS THE WEST LOSING FAITH IN ZELENSKY AND UKRAINE? A DISCUSSION WITH JUDGE NAPOLITANO
Sonar 21 ^ | 7 Aug 23 | Larry Johnson

Judge Napolitano kindly highlighted my recent piece discussing indications that the United States and NATO are preparing to jettison Ukraine and Volodomyr Zelensky. Here it is:

Video interview

Joe Biden and is team of national security hacks continue to double down in public on supporting Ukraine’s fight with Russia, but the Washington leak machine is up and running and the usual suspects in mainstream media outlets — New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal — are putting out more articles describing the failings and shortcomings of the Afghan officials — oops, I mean the Ukrainians. The United States has an established, long track record of dumping troublesome allies when success is no longer on the horizon.

The Biden Administration and NATO have gone all in on the bet that the Russian political structure is fragile and will crumble with sustained pressure. Boy, has that turned out to be a terrible wager. Andrey Sushentsov, writing for RT, has some valuable insights on this Western fantasy:

The ongoing Western narrative that Russia is constantly on the verge of imminent collapse stems from the persistent perception that the state is vulnerable to internal combustion because of its perceived fragility, vast territory and critical imbalances.

Though the current Ukraine crisis serves as a serious stress test for Russia, in reality, it has already revealed the country’s remarkable adaptability.

Moscow’s current strategic foreign-policy objectives have remained unchanged since they were formulated in November-December 2021. Originally intended to be solved through diplomatic channels, they encompass not only Ukraine but also Russia’s broader relations with the US and the West. An agreement could have been reached through negotiations but, unfortunately, the West did not take this route.

As a result, Russia has resorted to military means to achieve its vital interests. I recommend the entire article to you.

While Ukraine’s military is struggling to keep its head above water, Russia appears to be growing stronger with each passing month and the United States is flailing about trying to come up with a policy option that does not put NATO in jeopardy. How is NATO at risk? When Russia defeats Ukraine this will also represent the defeat of NATO. Instead of growing more united, NATO is beginning to fragment as the domestic problems in the NATO countries — especially in Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Poland — create obstacles to providing further military aid to Kiev. Without the unhindered flow of money and weapons Ukraine cannot remain on the battlefield.

I can’t speak for anyone but myself... but faith in Ukraine? I can’t lose what I never had to begin with.

Ukraine got their money’s worth when they bought Joe and Hunter... but enough is enough.

Why are we defending one of the most corrupt countries in the world? See the above paragraph.

It’s amazing that anybody ever had faith in Ukraine or Zelenskyy. Who could’ve ever been that stupid to begin with? There’s nothing even slightly in Ukraine’s history to make one have faith in it.

this man on the bayou states: “ all that money and supplies to a situation, similar to the Great State of Rhode Island pursuing self-determination and nationhood, with the might of the rest of CONUS being severely visited upon them.”
It is not going to happen.

Ukraine never had a path to victory - but does Russia?

The cynical and satanic DC neocons would be content, if they can’t surround and collapse Russia (which was their initial gamble), to have Ukraine forever be a thorn in Russia’s side. A kind of a larger and longer Chechen war.

Ukraine will be destroyed and depopulated for 100 years, and Russia will eventually go to the Dnieper and Odessa. But NATO and the West will also encourage, enable and fund their controlled Azov factions in Ukraine to continue a simmering guerrilla war

It’s a lot like The Winter War in 1940 between The Soviet Union and Finland.

Laughable assertion. We have 5000 Abrams tanks. How many given to Ukraine?

Yeah, the CIA will take him out and sign a peace treaty before winter. They can’t have this be an issue by the time the general elections gear up.

———-
True, however the facts remain it is the Ukies getting hammered by Vlads artillery…..500,000 artillery ( half a million rounds) shells a week! Very one sided ridiculousness.

“ Russian forces have used nearly 500,000 munitions in the last week alone on the Eastern front, according to Ukraine’s deputy defense minister, who described the situation as “extremely difficult and tense.”

Hannah Maliar said on YouTube there had been “endless assaults” by the Russians, with more than 9,000 instances of shelling, compared to about 8,000 the previous week...”

…and the West will have us believe Ivan is running out of ammo? …and the glorious Ukie offensive is successful? …
