I’m curious...how do you see this conflict even continuing for much longer, let alone escalating?
Ukrainian soldiers are dropping like flies. The casualty numbers given to the Europeans prior to their meetings were enormous; almost unbelievable. Yesterday, the MOD claimed they had “destroyed” 750 in one day and enormous amounts of equipment including 10 brand new howitzers and 20 brand new armoured vehicles from the West plus dozens of already used stuff. Their defense official came out the other day and said they had already gone through 50% of all their weapons. They have nothing left to fight with.
Today the MOD printed three stories about their troops refusing to go where assigned, refusing to follow orders, leaders leaving troops pretending they have some disease, etc.
There is no place left to acquire the necessary “cannon fodder.” They are chasing potential recruits down the street trying to present summons.
When you read their telegram websites they are demoralized and hopeless.
This is from their General Command morning briefing:
At Lyman, Avdiyivka, Kurakhivka, Nova Pavlivka and Zaporizhzhia directions Russian army shelled Kalynove, Ocheretyne, Berdychi, Zhelanne, Tonenke, Severne, Orlivka, Semenivka, Vesele, Avdiyivka, Netaylove, Vodyane, Opytne, Pervomaiske, Pisky, Krasnohorivka, Maryinka, Novomykhailivka, Pavlivka, Schevchenko, Velyka Novosilka, Vremivka, Olhivske, Zelene Pole, Novopil, Temyrivka, Poltavka, Malynivka, Chervone, Zalizhnichne, Huliaipilske, Novodanylivka, Orikhiv and Kamianske, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the morning report
They are shelling EVERYWHERE!
Zelensky has held out hope for big new weapon shipments. They aren’t coming. They have deserted him and want a negotiation. It’s all petering out.
They are a spent force and will have to decline the invitation to WW3. The other NATO members have never had the ability to engage in this kind of a battle anyway and even if they wanted to they couldn’t. They already gave much of their weaponry to Ukraine over the last 3 months.
World War 3 for Dummies
by The Truth Seeker / June 19
Gaius Baltar for the Saker Blog
“Some knowledgeable people, apparently including the Pope, are beginning to suspect that there may be more going on in the world than just the war in the Ukraine. They say that World War 3 has already started and things will get worse from now on. This can be difficult to determine while we are participating in the unfolding events and do not have the benefit of the historical perspective. It is doubtful that people back in 1939 realized that they were looking at the start of a major worldwide conflict, although some may have suspected it.”

All good stuff you posted, but I think WWIII comes from the US, Canada, and England. Then toss in the second string players of Turkey, Poland, and others. Ramping up a war has always been fairly easy, just need the right propaganda.
Why the US? Because so much is failing for the democrats at home. They have always used large wars to deflect from their failures. Canada, too.
Now let’s toss in a new twist: The global elites. They want most of dead. Covid is doing some of that job, but a world war, especially a nuclear war, would suit them just fine.
