There was a Western funded Maidan coup in 2014 that overthrew the elected government of Ukraine, which then recruited the Neo-Nazis movement in Ukraine to terrorize the Russian speaking people living in the Donbas while NATO moved closer to Russia's border ignoring Russia's security concerns. Please don't be fooled by western propaganda.
This war has really been a war triggered by and fought on behalf of the American Empire. Had the USA allowed Ukraine to stay militarily neutral (not join NATO) Russia would not gave invaded. Biden goaded Putin, daring Russia to invade. Once a peace deal was reached between Russia and Ukraine, the USA sent UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to Kyiv to tell Zelensky not to agree. Now, almost three years in the west is thinking of abandoning Ukraine and you can bet Ukraine will be required to give away all of its public services to the profit-gouging corporations whom the American Empire serves. Another American success story. Another notch on Biden’s belt.
Fantastic read declan, it's gonna be a hard pill for some to swallow but the Ukranian people are suffering badly right now and I pray for any solution that ends that so they can rebuild
Thank you for this, I am sorry I didn't subscribe sooner
I do not believe that Russia is wrecked demographically, economically, or diplomatically. Westerners think the West is the whole world and the rest of the world doesn’t exist.
Has the West tried to ruin Russia economically? Sure but Russia has recouped that and now makes most of its own products. The rest of the world is not participating in this economic boycott.
Is Russia diplomatically wrecked in the West? Sure but Hungary, Serbia, and Romania are coming around. The rest of the world hasn’t gone along and Russia has gained a lot of support there.
There is no demographic crisis and there are no terrible military losses as compared to Ukraine.
There will be no guerrilla war behind Russian lines. All the people in those areas are with Russia. The people with Ukraine mostly left.
I almost gave up in the first paragraph….. Russia”full scale’ invasion. Straight out of the western legacy media propaganda playbook. Surprised the writer didn’t insert ‘unprovoked’ in front of ‘full scale’. This is a preposterous, but enduring western trope, but a limited drill down will tell anyone with an average IQ, that a ‘full scale’ invasion of a huge country like Ukraine, cannot be conducted with a Russian & Donbas force of 200,000 troops, facing off against a Ukrainian force 3x as large. Just stop with the nonsense. Anyway, I decided to persevere, and wade though further western tropes such as ‘massive’ Russian casualties. There is simply no evidence for that, and when Russia has consistently enjoyed a 6:1 artillery advantage, has always had air superiority (not quite supremacy), massive missile advantage, and over the last year or so, a big & growing advantage in drones, it is Ukraine that has suffered massive casualties, not Russia. Anyway, I’ll continue till the end, and update my opinion then…….
Russia hasn’t taken massive losses and there are no meat waves. Those are just Western lies. Russia has lost 50,000 KIA. Ukraine has probably lost 1 MILLION KIA. Let that sink in.
If the long term goal is the recreation of Khazaria, then the goal will be the complete annihilation of both slavic (goyim) groups. The devastated land would be bought cheaply by a Jewish investment group and sold to Jews wanting to come to Khazaria.
Despite imbibing rather too much of the Westoid propaganda, the article correctly identifies the limiting factor - demographics. Ukraine isn't 1960s Vietnam, and Zelensky is no Ho Chi Minh. If anything, is playing the part of Diem.
The population loss is probably more than a third, too.
Kiev's current gov't makes the US-sponsored Afghan state of Karzai look like Nobel Prize in accounting. These guys will steal every penny sent to them, and extort whatever the citizens still have too. The TCC has a lot more to do with extortion and collecting bribes, than it does with actual recruiting. The impact on manpower is the same however.
The war goes on, and probably will, simply as a vehicle for the enrichment of these thugs, and their new-genration oligarch sponsors, who are backed by the WWII fascist revanchists (ie the ones renaming streets after Bandera in every city and sporting patches of WWII SS divisions). The NATO arms industry and contractor ecosystem also push it along, long after it is clear there is no benefit to anyone, just as in Afghanistan.
It should also be honestly stated, that the war-mad government in Kiev are the ones who initiated the war. Proximal trigger was in the 2nd week of Feb 2022, with Kiev's built up forces engaging in the most intense bombardment of Donetsk city in years (ie worse than the thousands of ongoing Minsk II violations by Kiev). The annexation by Russia and the invasion followed. What you saw was an intentional provocation, US/NATO actively wanted Russia to attack, and they were counting on Russia to crumble under the sanctions. Instead the EU economy did, and the sanctions programme which is now defanged by both Asia and the Global South, which has no love for the US whatsoever - for long standing reasons that should be obvious if we look at Gaza today as a horridly vivid example.

Yeah, I thought the writer was an Irishman who understood what’s the western empire was. I guess I was wrong.

Russia is now stronger. NATO weaker. Europe now is ECONOMICALLY DEPENDENT ON USA.
Thank you for this concise update on the war.
