“Good Journalism”

Actually the headline could have been better:

“A key Ukrainian withdrawal shows NATO doesn’t have NEARLY enough artillery to fight Russia”

Kind of stupid of the Neocons to start a war with Russia, yet never bothering to PREPARE for that war.

These are high verbal IQ people. They believe that words and action are the same, or that words are better.

They live inside a "narrative", and they believe that if they control the means of communication, that their "narrative" can become reality as long as all other narratives (what they now call "misinformation" can be blocked.

The battlefield is one place where the rubber meets the road. There are others - the operating room, the cockpit, a burning building, etc - but the people who brought you Ukraine don't go to any of those places.

They are having great problems producing new ammunition.

For example.

But the USA does have an inventory of millions of 155mm cluster shells, as well as millions of land mines they could transfer.

Biden used his emergency authority to transfer tank ammunition to Israel in December.

He could do the same with Ukraine.

But they don’t because the Regime has given up on Ukraine, and now they want to put the blame for the collapse on Trump and MAGA etc.

Being stupid is "nothing new under the sun!"

They've only been doing stupid for about 60 years.

This is clearly no different.

All of this while "Rome burns" at home.
