It never ceases to amaze me how these people seem to think if they can control the story, the narrative, the spin, the propaganda, if they can somehow swing public perception in the direction that they want, that they can control reality.

Making people in the collective West believe that Putin is weak is not going to change reality. It’s not going to heat homes, it’s not going to decrease energy costs, revitalize European industry, or even gain one inch of battleground soil.

Since they are not stupid, you have to ask the question: What are they trying to do? Just buy time? Why the priority on keeping the people thinking things are working for now? What would be the reason for that? Is something else going to happen that they need more time for? What’s the plan?

Oh goody, the Express confirms that we will have some of the Syria style False Flag chemical attacks in Ukraine.

They worked so well in Syria ...

Latest update from DPA. The situation on the ground / front as opposed to the next 15 threads posted by UsmZGomerPylsezz, and its fellow travelers B*llsh*t. @ 30 minutes. Ukraine still on the offensive on certain fronts, and the Russian on the others.
Your welcome.

Needless to say, that massive missile strikes by Russia continue all over 404 and there are reports of massive explosions and power outages in Nikolaev and other places, plus Kiev remains to be targeted. And, as was expected, all VSU attempts to perform "offensives" have been repelled with massive losses for VSU, including at Kremennaya and Svatovo (in Russian), but NATO--let's drop the pretense here--will try to throw as much cannon fodder at Russian formations as possible because they need something, like "breakthrough" in some sectors, because the Midterms are coming and Russians amassing troops for obvious things. Time is running out.

So, there are signs that the realization of grim reality begins to descend on Washington D.C.

I was on record for years--pardon me for my pleasure in reminding everyone--that NATO cannot fight a real war with the peer. Russia is not just the peer, Russia fields combat capabilities many of which are simply non-existent anywhere in NATO (US, of course, included). This becomes increasingly obvious both through operational and strategic incompetence of NATO planners and through admissions of such nature as by Austin or, if you read further, by:

Mark Cancian is a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic & International Studies who spent seven years working on DOD procurement issues for the Office of Management and Budget. His assessment based on inventory levels, industrial capacity, and information from the Biden administration is that the U.S. has "limited" supplies of HIMARs, Javelins, Stingers and M-777 Howitzers. "There are some areas where we’re basically at the bottom of the barrel," he told Fox News Digital. In some cases, this means the U.S. will likely start meeting Ukraine’s request for weaponry by sending over lower-end substitutions, such as lighter Howitzers that are serviceable but not what Ukraine is after. In other cases, the U.S. may not have much to give – Cancian said that while there is talk of the U.S. providing more air defense equipment, there is not much the U.S. can give in that area. Cancian said he reads Austin comments as a sign that the days of the U.S. giving Ukraine its best stuff are gone.

###

But this fast review may give you some glimpse into the "thinking" by NATO planners who need something, anything to show for their failed "offensives" and to somehow spin (to cover up, that is) an atrocious record of the US-made weaponry (plus from other lapdogs) in real combat conditions. There will be a talk about well documented utter failure of the US AGM-88 HARM missiles against Russian Air Defense, but we need to be patient and wait for the conclusion of the active part of SMO and with anti-terrorist operations by FSB and MVD coming at the forefront of this war. In the end, terrorism is the only type of war combined West excels at.

According to the Western/US/UK/NATO/EU propaganda ridden media:

1) Putin was to have died 3-5 months ago from some 32 known and unknown medical causes, etc.

2) Putin has been “in crisis” since March.

3) The moral of the Russian forces have long been trash and down in the dirt since April.

4) Ukraine has been winning since March.

5) Ukraine has taken very little casualties and is barely losing any military hardware since June.

6) Russia was supposed to out of munitions, rockets, etc. since March.

Let me know if I missed anything else.................

Putin has greatly enabled the globalist agenda with his Ukraine invasion.

ANOTHER propaganda alert.

Follow the daily war maps — you haven’t seen much territory gained by Ukraine, and you won’t going forward either.
