Globalists are the best at propaganda.
Russia? Not so good.
The propaganda masters say that the Russian military is no good.
When the dust settles, let’s see if Russia is better at War than it is a Propaganda.
The outcome was never in doubt.
If I was in a Baltic state, I would be making plans
I hate these foreign conflicts because all the foreign policy and military “experts” come out of the woodwork to get face time on TV and to see their words printed in the papers and posted on internet blogs and websites. So many of these people don’t know s**t and just love to hear themselves let off their hot air!
Duh……
This nonsensical narrative being pushed by the media that UKraine is winning this war is laughable. No wonder people believe Biden won…
Finally reality raises its head. 🙄
Given the enormous anomalies in "official" data from "official" sources proving the pandemic has been media-amplified into hysteria while the reality is something quite different, it becomes important to look not only to what is in news stories, but what is not.
There is no real information war per se, but lies and exaggerations, models and estimates and forecasts filling much of media with specific aims, as the sponsors of the various stances show themselves.
The real battle seems to be localism versus globalism, corporatism versus capitalism, and individualism versus the collective. Those who hope to be our masters wish their subjects to see only what is presented. For this, the new accusation of "dis-information" is rising to the level of racism and all the collected "-phobias" which have filled "the news."
It’s been a little over three weeks now and it appears Ukraine is getting very desperate. Won’t be long now?
Meanwhile at home...ahh at home, the wheels are coming apart:
“LOOK, LOOK OVER HERE!”
My brother and I got into fights when we were kids. We were barely more than a year apart in age. This lead to a lot of conflict and competition.
He was stronger and bigger than I. When we fought, I would refuse to give up. But I would call “time out.” Just to catch my breath. Then I would go back into fighting mode.
This lead to me getting my ass kicked almost every time until puberty.
But, my calls for a time out would allow me to drag the fight out until my brother got bored with wrestling me and he moved on to something else.
I think Zelensky is trying to negotiate in order to catch his breath and allow more weapons to get to his troops.
I was trying to explain to my daughter the other day how this was going to end. I told her it was like a baseball game where Russia was “supposed” to win 10-0. They will win 10-6 or 10-8. But, Russia will win.
Ukraine is out manned and out gunned. End of story.
I’m amazed to hear the Daily Mail print anybody who says this. They’ve been pushing the Neocon/Deep state line all day every day thus far.
Where Zelensky won is I think Putin has given up on the idea of installing a puppet in Kiev to run things. He was counting on a quick invasion with the Ukrainian army cutting and running and an ultimate surrender. He didn’t get that and the last thing he wants to do is go into Kiev and put up with 10 years of insurgency. So, he will settle with encircling it until he gets the other things he wants. This is a slow moving ass kicking where he will get most of everything he wants including neutrality, no NATO membership, recognition of breakaway republics and Crimea as his but not a fast moving ass kicking where he will get the big enchilada of taking over the country with a puppet in control in Kiev. He will have to live with Zelensky until his hitman turns him orange like the other guy in 2014.
It is becoming a stalemate. No one is ‘winning’ and both sides are losing to some degree. I dare say the Russians might have already ‘won’ by taking over the Russian speaking areas. It’s as simple as that.
Though prior experience proves nothing about how this episode will end, staying in the fight long enough to wear out your enemies’ resolve has led to success without winning every battle. Consider:
American Revolutionaries
North Vietnam and the Viet Cong
Taliban
Russia is in a good position to gradually choke supply lines and wear down Ukraine, but the power behind the throne might tire of massive financial losses. Time will tell who holds out longest.
It time to stop the insane waste of money on weapons to Ukraine and limit any assistance to humanitarian relief.
Is DM backtracking from own propaganda?
“... suggests Ukraine may be losing on the battlefield.”
“suggests”? “may be”?
Thank you for your definitive, fact filled report.
If virtue signaling was a weapon, the Ukes would be on the steps of Moscow by now.
