You'll be in denial of the Bakhmut defeat for about the next five days. And then you'll never mention Bakhmut again.

I expect to hear a report from the British media today that the Ukrainian army has surrounded the Wagner Group in Bakhmut.

Also, when the Wagners at Bakhmut get replaced by the Chechnyans or Russian regulars, you'll be talking about Wagner's "humiliating defeat."

So are you preparing the “information space” here for that eventuality?

The way you know this entire war is a Scam on the part of the USA and Europe.

Granted, I’m no military expert, but if you fight a war, it would be wise to start the war with the most and best equipment possible, otherwise why fight a war while being handicapped.

First, the USA said there is no way we are going to provide Ukraine with HIMARS or Long Range Artillery, only to reverse that decision and provide both.

Then we said, there is no way we would provide Tanks or Armored Vehicles, only to reverse that decision and provide both.

Then we said, there is no way we will provide long range strategic missiles that can hit deep into Russia only to reverse that decision and provide them.

Finally, we said, there is no way we will provide advanced fighter jets like the F-16s, only to now reverse that decision.

If the goal is supposed to be defeating Russia and driving them out of Ukraine, why would you not provide everything in terms of weapons to do that. Unless to goal is to not really win the war but prolong it as long as possible and slowly escalate up to who know when.
