UKRAINE: THE UNTHINKABLE FOR THE WEST IS ABOUT TO OCCUR

All the positive and wishful thinking up to now was never going to affect the inevitable final outcome in Ukraine. None of the one-sided commentary, Kiev-stimulated misinformation and hopelessly skewed reporting is not going to affect it either.

Russia, in the next few months is going to achieve its goal of securing the Donbass region against further Ukrainian military attack, prevent Ukraine from ever joining NATO, and will ultimately reduce the Ukrainian military so that in future it has only a purely ceremonial role.

The goal of autonomy, first sought by the people of the Donbass in the Spring of 2014, after the insurrection in their then capital city of Kiev, will be more than accomplished, full sovereignty separate from Ukraine is about to become a reality as integral regions within the Russian Federation. They will fear no more. The nightmare of almost a decade of daily and nightly shelling by Ukrainian forces will be well and truly over.

This event will be a body blow to a western world that has been telling itself fairy stories about the Kiev authorities and assorted military and militia forces winning against a Russia absolutely sure of the need to secure not only the Donbass but through this its own security in perpetuity. What will the reaction of the western world, specifically the western political elites, be regarding these facts?

Up until now in the Spring of 2023, the West has thrown everything it could at Russia to no avail. The big financial and economic guns have been deployed and have missed their targets. Most of the shells have in fact boomeranged back to their gun-emplacements causing financial and economic damage at home within the unfriendly nations of the collective west.

Russia began its 'special military operation' with all its financial and economic resources presenting a sound barrier to the western attacks known to come no matter what it did. In late 2021 it was absolutely vital for the future of Russia that the prevailing circumstances be changed from the ever-worsening situation regarding NATO, the aggression of the uSA, UK and EU and the ever-increasing belligerence of the Kiev regime and their known plans to deliver a military solution to the Russian-speaking region of the Donbass.

A little realpolitik rather than the hysteria and breast-beating by western powers that we have seen up to now would have resolved this matter. But they squandered every chance. Russia wished to take a peaceful path to resolve the question of the long-suffering Russian population of the Donbass. The West and its puppet in Kiev were not interested. War was what they sought since 2015, never reconciliation.

Western leaders chose to make Kiev fight, to keep on supplying it and its dwindling military power with money and weaponry. The incentive was always clearly there for the USA, and the UK in particular, to try to do as much damage to Russia as possible.

The goal of weakening Russia was certainly the goal these close allies had in common and there was the constant enthusiasm of the hawks within their hierarchies to keep the war going even when Russia was calling for negotiations leading to peace. This policy will increasingly be seen as a totally callous one, quite uncaring that through it deaths continued in their tens of thousands even when Russia was clearly calling for an end to them.

We all await these coming events where Russia totally ends all western hopes of weakening the Russian resolve. This is the only way to peace now, this much is clear. Hopefully the western leadership will recognise the defeat that has been dealt them and accept it with some humility and perception of reality. But, as ever with geopolitical events where national interests are involved it may be a mistake to believe that the usual and best human characteristics of compromise and agreement can prevail.

We will soon see...

WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE MORAL, ECONOMIC & ETHICAL DEATH KNELL OF THE WEST


Jeffrey Epstein is only one of the great many figures within the western world who had wealth and influence who have shown themselves to be totally corrupted souls engaged in evil activities which have blighted so many lives. There are so many cases which have come to light in recent times across the West where such people have risen to prominence in the western system of casino capitalism and aggressive competition.

In the USA the #MeToo scandal with Harvey Weinstein at its centre clearly revealed that the western world had an immense problem connected with elite power and its abuse. The #BlackLivesMatter movement also showed an institutional racism had survived there. Countless financial scandals down the decades also reinforced the view that there was something rotten at the core of western capitalism.

In Britain the paedophile scandals surrounding some of the most famous people and previously well-respected figures reflected a similar decay of general moral and ethical standards.

These are only the most outward and publicised signs and examples of a decay that has been a long-standing feature of western lifestyles and their systemic roots.

The malaise goes much deeper and has a long history. This plague of inner and outer decay has grown for decades and has been emerging ever more obviously in recent years. The elements where moral and ethical decay can be seen most clearly vary across a platform of vices in the West from pornography to hard drug use to corporate criminality to mind-bending cults to hard core crime, to increasing gun use and violence to an ever-increasing nihilism of youth. A decay in value systems from community to petty crime, tax avoidance and the fostering of a shallow pseudo-celebrity form of elitist fascism, has permeated western cultures more and more in recent years, leaving these shallow “open minds” prey to massive government conditioning.

Western societies have been hollowed out in regard to integrity, basic common sense and any widespread trace of intellectual ability allowing scrutiny of the pernicious policies of their governments. This has become a relative rarity outside the realm of purely selfish gratification. This has resulted in a majority who are so drowned in the sleazy milieu of personal ambition and indulgence that they are now almost incapable of rational thought. This is the majority who can now be guided like sheep to the slaughter in support of whatever criminal acts their state functionaries demand they acquiesce to.

These are the regime change wars based on lies cynically channelled by western states through a corrupted and wholly complicit western mainstream media. These scarcely camouflaged racist wars would have been inconceivable to the public of western states if not for a conditioned blindness that has been carefully fostered in the majority by their state institutions.

From 2007 and a certain speech in Munich we have seen all of the factors above used in the most complete act of cynical conditioning that outdoes anything attempted before, a far more pervasive and universal level of barely hidden propaganda that has underpinned the conditioning of shallow western minds by its focus on one man, Vladimir Putin.

This culmination of a general shallowness of mind and the increasingly degraded and distracted nature of western minds where the ability to perceive reality has been dimmed and the general perception of reality conditioned, has been put to effective use by western states. This process, actively pursued since 2007 has left a western public as reactive as Pavlov’s Dogs.

The general fogged mindset with all its attendant seducing physical material wants and desires mixed in with increasing phobias and sickness-inducing habits and vulnerabilities has made western populations an excellent target for Machiavellian techniques of control and manipulation. This is now being used to guide support for an extremist Ukrainian regime where modern day Nazis hold de facto power against a Russia seeking to unseat them.

George Orwell foresaw all of this long years before of course. He foresaw the bleating western “sheep” in virtually complete docility moving inexorably toward the very efficient, state-operated, abattoir of the mind.

Thankfully most nations worldwide have natural cultural antibodies to this process, cultures founded on resource-poor conditions where excess is uncommon and where minds must remain sharp, alert and focused to ensure mutual survival and where long-maintained traditions and levels of cultural integrity would risk the perils of anarchic chaos and terminal levels of poverty if abandoned. They are well aware of the risks they’d run if they took the western road to rampant excess, waste, gleeful irresponsibility, nihilism, a sexual free-for-all, rabid, dog-eat-dog competition, all part and parcel of a low-integrity, sexual and corporate downward spiral to moral and ethical decay.

The nations standing against the collective western world at this moment, especially those of Russia and China, are those who dare to defend themselves against a western world that has always to some degree evidenced its immorality and unethical foundations but is now in terminal moral and ethical decline. They stand increasingly united, stronger than ever before and more determined than ever before not to be taken down by the fast-disintegrating West or to be taken down by it.

No… the West will alone descend the toilet bowl of history, as all previous empires of unsaveable decadence have done before it. There is clearly no saving it, especially now as it has become universally imbued with the state-created lies that blind it to the reality of the situation in Ukraine and the oncoming multipolar world in which its obvious and ever-worsening degradation has no decent place.

WASHINGTON & WHITEHALL WILL SEND EVERY LAST UKRAINIAN TO THEIR DEATHS

Not since the tactic of trying to overwhelm an enemy with wave after wave of troops, 90% of them wiped out before they even reached a firing position, i.e. that of the Japanese foot soldiers in WWII will there have been such a bloodbath as we are likely to see now in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian regime, prompted primarily by the USA and UK is reduced to frog-marching any civilian men it can find and capture up to the age of seventy into its heavily-depleted army and sending them as cannon-fodder into what has been labelled as the ‘Great Ukrainian Counteroffensive’.

No matter that they die in their droves or are horrendously wounded after being sent to face the professional Russian military with almost no training, no artillery or air cover to speak of and get shot, shelled and bombed out of their misery… it appears it will make no difference to the soulless men and women who are delivering them to their own personal hell.

For the sake of a publicity stunt aimed at impressing their vendors, Ukrainian men who would far rather be at home with their families will be sacrificed on the altar of Biden’s pride. That Zelensky’s puppet-masters, care not a thing about the average Ukrainian is clear. It must surely be the case that the Ukrainian military high command must also be aware of this fact and are surely also thinking of how to depose of the excruciatingly vainglorious puppet who is sending so many to their deaths.

As has been revealed, it was Boris Johnson who must bear a significant amount of blame for the bloodbath we have seen and will continue to see with hundreds of Ukrainian troops dying on a daily basis. It was primarily he who personally delivered the message to Zelensky that on no account must he seek a peaceful agreement with Russia to end the fighting but instead to fight on and be supplied with endless weaponry by the collective West. This is why Johnson will always be known as a war criminal, whether he is hauled before the International Criminal Court at The Hague or not.

Knowing that the war cannot be won and this has been clear to those in ex-military circles since February 24 2022, this is truly a crime against humanity by the entire elite political superstructure of the western world with Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and certain others being the primary war criminals responsible. This war is being knowingly and actively extended by the aforementioned, not with any foolish concept connected with Ukraine “winning”, that was never even a remorse possibility, but instead sacrificing the life blood of tens of thousands of Ukrainians in the West’s proxy war to weaken Russia.

The lies that have been told by the western political and media elites have gushed like waterfalls after the worst torrential storm known to mankind. They have rushed in a torrent engulfing every mainstream conduit of press or media. It has poured into gullible minds corrupting intelligence everywhere across a West that has lost all touch with either conscience or reality. These lies have served to reinforce the power of those doing the bloodletting in Ukraine, it has served to stiffen the sinews of cynical and deeply callous attitudes that engender mass murder. And it has seeped into the consciousness of an entire western culture degrading it beyond recognition.

And while Ukrainians of all ages die in their droves at the behest of the monstrous evil residing in Kiev, Washington and Whitehall, these devils in human form plot even more disastrous moves that will sacrifice ever more of them to die horrible deaths or suffer for the rest of their lives from horrendous mutilations. The men and women behind these atrocities have no compunction about sending ever greater numbers of Ukrainians to their deaths or lifelong misery. Only the rabid, obsessional need to win over the Russians obsesses them and they are willing to fight to the last Ukrainian to achieve their global ambitions.

THE WEST’S POLITICAL KAMIKAZE CREW ARE COMMITTING HARA KIRI OVER UKRAINE

Western elites have a death wish. They are apparently determined to do the deed. Just as the most hopeless human who sees no possible future for him or herself. The only question at this point in time is which weapon or poison to use to get it over with.

In the case of the elites of the collective West there have been an almost endless array of weapons with which to off themselves. Western minds have been busy working out the exact methodologies with which to destroy their economies. These have been social, financial, political and economic and they have scraped the bottom of every barrel to get to them. They are all gone now it seems… save one.

By putting a cap on Russian oil and blocking the sale of oil via a third party they may well have found the silver bullet that will deliver itself through their thick, collective economic cranium and administer the final coup de grâce that finally does for them. But what of the collateral damage?

Do these leaders care at all what happens to those they are politically charged to care for? Do they spare any of their time obsessed with their suicidal policies to think of them at all. What happens when the blowback reaches chain-reaction status and wave after wave of toxic price rises blow just about everybody’s house down? Where will the culprits be? In some bunker giving Sieg Heil salutes a la Adolf?

Obsession can be a helluva destructive thing. When you feel mortally slighted by someone and are rabidly focused on getting your own back by any manner of means it can lead you into massively adding to that sore nose or hurt pride. You can easily end up flat on your back. There are times to realise when you are better off getting over it and turning your attention to other things instead. Unless you are seeking suicide that is. Then go on standing in front of the guy who harmed you and give him what you think is a hard punch to the belly. The likelihood is that he hardly feels it. And then you find yourself on the sidewalk with a bloody nose and reeling head (at best).

Biden is a man obsessed with harming Russia due to his pet project (in which he has so much invested) being given a body blow after attempting to arrange a hit on Russia’s relatives. His anger overlooks the reasons behind Russia’s actions, to them he is totally blind. The red mist is permanently down over his eyes and those of all his western gang. ‘Get Russia’ is all that permeates their raging bull brains night and day. They can think of nothing else. And this blindness, this absolute myopia, is not conducive to acting wisely. Insight is reduced to almost nil. Tactical nous also. All that’s left to these bozos is a permanently bad temper and irrational rage that they feed to greater heights each day that dawns.

Collectively they are an accident waiting to happen and in fact they are regular ‘guests’ in the emergency units of their capital cities. Black eyes, multiple bruises, broken legs, concussion… almost every medical condition caused by blunt instruments and hard, well-trained fists have not taught them the required lesson yet. Still they go back for further beatings. Time and time again they are left sprawling on the sidewalk. Gluttons for punishment, almost masochistic in their seeming need to be bludgeoned to near death.

The final straw to break the backs of these bloodthirsty camels may well be the oil price cap scheme that they have decided upon. If enacted, Russia will certainly cut off the oil these nations require so that the gears of their industries continue to run rather than grind down to useless hunks of metal. It truly appears that these punch-drunk losers don’t know when to quit. Perhaps they just want to see their economies die and just have it over with. They can turn around and say, “Well, we did our best!”

What will be the reaction of those they reduced to penury in the process?

Perhaps to see about getting these wannabe, kamikaze, braindead bozos their suicidal wish?

“Does France have any of those guillotine things left lyin’ around, d’you think?”

TO BREAK RUSSIA ON THE ANVIL OF UKRAINE

I watched from 2014 until the present day as western mainstream media studiously ignored the constant shelling of the civilian population of eastern Ukraine. Though utterly unconscionable and delivering the families there into a news  vacuum killing chamber I believed it was a journalistic atrocity of a limited and time restricted nature with no other facet to it than the desire never to say anything that could be construed as a criticism of the Ukrainian army.

But now I am beginning to think otherwise.

The almost complete absence of this nine year continual war crime can be seen as a vital requirement in the conditioning of western populations into believing that Russia's intervention in Ukraine is entirely unprovoked.

Is it too far-fetched to seriously consider that this complete lack of reporting concerning these war crimes was part of an integrated long term plan by the western powers to undermine Russia?

If you recall, the news broadcasts did mention the rising death toll over the years 2014 to the present day, which now stands at around 15,000, the vast number of which were civilians. These broadcasters never attributed the cause of these civilian deaths however and it was left to the listener to come to his or her own conclusions. The overwhelming majority of reporting however, amounting to virtually 100%, designated that negative events of all kinds were attributable to Russia. So what was the listener to think? But wait. It was the Ukrainian forces who were shelling the villages, towns and cities in which these Russian-speaking civilians lived. The conclusion was obvious… but never stated.

Is it too conspiratorial and Machiavellian to think along these lines, that keeping western populations ignorant of crimes against humanity by the Ukrainian military and their associated militias was a cynical requirement to later push Russia into a war it had tried so hard to avoid and then say it was an unprovoked act? I wonder. The absence of the knowledge that the Ukrainian military killed so many people is rather convenient for the ideologues of the West. They can now write what they want on this blank slate. They can say Russia committed this egregious and wholly unprovoked act, making it chime with all the other ways in which Vladimir Putin and Russia has been demonised down the years.

All too convenient… no?

Just coincidence that it is so helpful? Maybe. But then again, maybe not.

WILL THE WESTERN POWERS DESTROY ALL HOPE OF A PEACEFUL, MULTIPOLAR WORLD?

What are the U.S. elites & their allies seeking to gain through their diplomacy-free policy toward China, Russia and their allies?

What is the ultimate goal?

Where is their constant bellicosity leading?

What is the end game we are facing?

For just over two decades now a war has been waged in full view but totally unannounced.

It was never once declared but it is real enough. Many have been surprised at its ferocity & the fact that no diplomacy took place or was ever called for by the side waging it.

This unannounced, undeclared war has been fought not only by the US & European politicians. It has been fought also by the entirety of western mass media. These three powerful elites have fought side by side for twenty years against their primary targets, China and all its allies, including, of course, Russia.

Western elites are in a relentless pursuit of multiple regime change targets to avoid their global patrician dominance being eclipsed by China and its allies. The goal of the war far exceeds damaging/destroying China and Russia however. It has a far more ambitious goal than even this.

The goal is none other than complete global U.S. control in tandem with all allies within its orbit.

The USA won't stand alone at the apex of a new, controlled world. Its primary ally Britain will be there also, bowing low & taking commands as usual. All the USA’s other allies will take somewhat lesser positions.

The rest of us?

We will be supervised VERY closely until we submit.

In waging the end game war there are to be no loose ends. There are to be no unaccounted for communications. All must be visible, known, supervised & certified safe within an environment of total oversight. In short, of full spectrum dominance by the USA and its allies.

If there is any gap in global dominance it will be flagged for attention and dealt with, bringing it in line with all other protocols designed to ensure total security for the USA. The level of response will be applied rigorously using all necessary means.

9/11 bored deep into the traumatised skulls of all those who would now enslave the rest of the world for the sake of America. This added an additional layer on top of what was a previously existing demand that the world acknowledge global U.S. hegemony.

The war against those not in full compliance with U.S. wishes has been ongoing since the events of 9/11 took place.

However, it was only in 2007 that the present level of urgency was felt & first seen regarding Russia via the initiation of persistent & ever-growing attacks by mass media on Vladimir Putin after his Munich speech of that year.

Ultimately the plan requires that everyone be monitored 24/7 using GPS positioning of the telecommunications of the entire human race from space.

The USA has had a messianic desire to teach the world how good it is & urge its systems to be followed by all others almost since the day it was founded. A sense of superiority has prevailed for a number of reasons within group-thought myopia of self-interested mythologies. As time passed this rose to the levels seen in modern times where the concept of being exceptional rose to a peak.

The western world is already monitored to a high degree.

It began with CCTV, continued with personal detail collection. It surged forward via the internet and the mobile phone. Now with seamless systems collecting each call, text, email with the location visited, purchase made & so much more. Big data grows bigger daily.

Before 9/11 it appeared that the majority in the USA had more or less accepted the world as it was. The feeling of superiority continued, though the desire to transform the world in its image abated somewhat, assuaged by the "successful" conclusion of the Cold War.

9/11 changed EVERYTHING.

It is true Neocons existed before 9/11 along with their concept of overall US superiority & their goal & determination to ensure ultimate US control in perpetuity. However, it took 9/11 to make the crucial difference between a plan & action.

In the days after 9/11, it was agreed at the highest possible level that there could be no more ignoring potential threats.

Each statement indicating a less than positive view of the USA & US foreign policy was to be noted for present & ongoing future attention.

In those meetings after 9/11, it was decided that every single negative factor seen anywhere worldwide, any individual in authority & any government deigning to express negativity toward the U.S.A. was to be a target for undermining & eventual elimination.

There were to be no exceptions.

No targets too small, or too large. Meticulously detailed files were to be scrupulously kept. Programs of demonisation & destabilization were to be carefully planned & executed. The 9/11 security project was to have the highest priority.

The 9/11 protocols are set in stone till the day full spectrum dominance dawns. No president can alter them. They are sacrosanct, untouchable, immutable, inviolate. The determination to make the USA the permanent global hegemon in an equally permanent unipolar world cannot be countermanded.

The phrase 'Full Spectrum Dominance' provides the key to the ultimate goal being pursued.

9/11 showed US elites they MUST have this level of control to ever feel secure again. It was imperative that not one single entity voicing negativity toward the U.S. remained.

Full Spectrum Dominance demands that ALL sources of power anywhere across the world be subject to US preeminence.

Every area of potential risk for the U.S. is required to be under its full control via deep & broad levels of surveillance & the ability to nullify all adverse entities quickly.

One of the first areas to come under the Full Spectrum Dominance umbrella was western mass media.

Its power to influence a majority of Americans & Europeans was & is enormous. It is a vital asset to smooth the path of the many regime change targets planned for. ‘Operation Mockingbird’, the CIA op to control U.S. and international media and to make it reflect U.S. state narratives is more active now than ever.

Manufacturing consent for U.S. aggression toward the rest of the world has become an industry.

The closest parallels are with public relations & propaganda. To achieve global domination with all it entails the masses have to be well-groomed to demonstrate compliance.

Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya & Syria were only the first few of a much longer list of nations. Iran, Lebanon, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Somalia, Yemen and others still await their full preliminary weakening and ultimate regime change fate.

All operations are ongoing simultaneously at different levels and stages. These operations are progressing consecutively in tandem as circumstances allow. The ultimate target is China however as it, far more than any other nation, presents the greatest challenge to U.S. and western elite hegemony.

The dominance planned for will be TOTAL if it is accomplished.

For the U.S. and its elites, this is a necessity that brooks no compromise. There will be no diplomacy, nothing which hinders the process. No barrier is to be countenanced, not even a worldwide pandemic. Sanctions and other means of financial terrorism are to be ongoing, even increased.

There is to be no thought given to the detriment to others by the enforcement of this policy. For these elites consider the priority of safeguarding America to be too high for any such considerations. In fact, any pain suffered by China, Russia or any of their allies is to be actively increased by any means possible.

The power junkies integral to the western way of life are losing their fix. Western patrician dominance, being centuries old and deeply ingrained within western culture, elites of the Westin can’t conceive of living without it.

The cold turkey involved would utterly destroy them along with any hope they have of achieving the full spectrum dominance they believe imperative in keeping America safe.

Therefore they are determined to destroy whoever they need to to avoid this scenario.

Thus we are living through World War III: The End Game War and in waging this war the collective west will destroy all hope of a peaceful, multipolar world. The concept of a world where sovereignty is sacrosanct and nations have the protection of a powerful United Nations is not in the interests of the western powers. They seek domination in perpetuity. This desire mitigates directly against nations having inviolate sovereignty and the power to defend themselves.

The western powers want manipulative oversight and control, the ability to monitor activity globally and to strike down at it if a threat to their interests is identified and they require nations to be weak, not strong. This is why these western powers seek to weaken Russia and are determined to undermine China’s system of governance. The end result of a western victory will be to transform our world into a virtual prison planet where they dominate and all others are destined to be forever subjugated.

This is the war that is being waged across many battlefields currently, the primary one being in Ukraine. Russia and China, in harmony MUST win out for all our sakes. If they lose we move forward to the prison planet described above with the USA and its partners in crime as our perpetual warders.

BOTH WESTERN & UKRAINIAN LEADERSHIPS READY THEIR MUD FOR SLINGING

The truth cannot be tolerated, it is too awful to face, therefore some form of fiction that shields the guilty must take its place. In tandem with total avoidance of the truth many excuses blaming the other side will have been long-readied, a generous supply of mud for ‘those over there’.

The entire panoply of western leaderships are continuing to surround themselves in mirages of misinformation and fact-avoiding breast-beating over Ukraine rather than facing anything as onerous as the facts.

Those facts are of course incredibly hard to face considering the assumption of western leaders that they are hugely righteous, amounting to the greatest collective global power in existence to whom the concept of defeat is entirely unknown. And that defeat, now rushing up to meet them in Ukraine therefore is entirely unthinkable.

Ukraine is going from one defeat to another, talking all the while of an eventual victory. Its political and military are as self-inflictedly blind to the stark reality facing them as their counterparts in Washington. That reality is imminent defeat and complete humiliation.

Therefore, happily for all of them (for the time being) everything is wished away by means of one total fantasy or another including copious amount of fake narrative and outright propaganda.

Unfortunately for them however, reality has a nasty habit sooner or laterof smashing headlong into even the most beloved of fantasies And, if you look closely you will now see those fantasies beginning to leak at the seams, this being evidenced by signs of an inevitable blame game starting to occur.

The first example concerns Joe Biden, who for no evident reason, brought up the fact that Zelensky had initially been unwilling to accept the fact that Russia was about to initiate a campaign in Ukraine. It was a purely gratuitous criticism about a situation more than three months earlier that had no current context to explain it, except an indication from Biden (and perhaps a warning to Zelensky) that if things carried on as they appeared wont to do mud-slinging would not be one-sided in the event of an eventual debacle.

Then there was the article in the New York Times which bemoaned the fact that the western powers knew much more about Russia’s military tactics and activities than about those of Ukraine, giving the distinct (and false) impression that they were to some degree in the dark due to Ukraine not providing adequate information. I predict we will hear more of this kind of talk in due course.

On the Ukrainian side we can also see the mud being gathered ready for slinging. The USA, UK and Europe failed to supply the weaponry that Ukraine needed to win. Despite all the fervent pleading they simply refudsed to give Ukraine what it so desperately required.

Neither Zelensky nor any of those in the front line of Ukraine’s leadership are going to capitulate. They are going to act in defiant fashion, forever calling for more assistance by way of heavy weaponry, never for a moment suggesting any desire to come to any agreement with Russia, always ready to fight to the last man. However, the western world is rapidly diminishing in its ability or willingness to supply what the Ukrainian leadership demands.

Zelensky and his people cannot change their tune now, to capitulate for them means almost certain death, or at least perpetual ignominy. A much safer strategy is to keep breast-beating, keep posturing heroically, keep insisting on eventual victory and most important of all, keep demanding more weaponry from the West.

This latter point is vital as it provides the mud to sling later when the protective spin for them will be that they fought like devils for Ukraine but were let down by those promised so much but then failed to deliver.

There is no way Zelensky and his minions can agree to talks with Russia now. This route, offered by Russia, was taken only a few weeks into Russia’s campaign. It was even bearing some fruit. Ukraine agreed to some important aspects that provided some hope that continued talks might bring a meaningful breakthrough. Then the western leaders convinced Zelensky to break off these talks and renege on the progress made. Chief of those who convinced Zelensky to do this was Boris Johnson. Undoubtedly Joe Biden had a hand in it also. It seems Zelensky was told that if he abandoned talks with Russia he would be delivered overwhelming firepower with which to defeat Russia.

This defeat of Russia is now obvious by its absence. Yet both the western leaders and Ukraine make a pretence of confidence in an ‘if only’ notion. If only the West had provided the number of weapons required and if only Ukraine had informed the West of the true facts of how things were going.

It is becoming ever more clear however that both of these ‘if only’ factors are also going to be obvious by their absence. The logistics of providing the arms, ammunition and training necessary by the West make the first part of the task unattainable and the decimation of Ukrainian troops via tactical incompetence by Ukraine make the second part unattainable also. Besides, Russia has the manufacturing base to supply and resupply both men and materiel on such an unlimited basis to defeat Ukraine no matter what is done now.

We will no doubt see this theatre of the absurd continue whereby both the western powers and the Zelensky regime talk pie in the sky while that sky increasing falls down upon them. Neither of them appears willing to face reality. Too much is at stake for them personally if they do.

Meanwhile Ukrainian troops die in their droves.

The politicians of Kiev, Washington, London and Brussels are doing their level best to save their own necks while the abominable suffering in Ukraine drags ever on.

No talks. No concessions. More deaths. More territory taken.

But, despite everything the heroic status of Zelensky will be determinedly retained until the end with a finger resolutely pointing at the foot-draggers of the West who let his country down. In the USA and across the western world we will hear a different refrain however, one that talks of Ukrainian officials providing “inaccurate information”, officials who talked up victories that had no reality to them but that conjured up only in their own minds.

So it will go, I predict.

UKRAINE: THINKING WITHIN THE WESTERN GEOPOLITICAL BOX

How much sense does it have to ignore objective reality and to instead embrace a subjective wishlist of concepts creating boundaries outside of which you cannot think or speak?

This for me is the self-created miasma of myopia that western political and media elites have created for themselves.

Conceiving Putin as Hitler and the Russian military as the new Nazis is all very well and effectively shores up massive support in the western world among those who retain belief in their elites despite all historical reasons not to. But what happens when objective, on the ground, reality is completely lost sight of and a massive consensus based on the desired reality rather than the actual reality permeates and dominates pervasively?

Waging any kind of war brings with it the obvious and natural use of the information weapon, the creative distortion of reality that serves to bolster support and potentially weaken enemy morale. My contention here however is that this can only be sustained while that enemy shows any sign of being beaten.

There lies the rub.

Russia is winning.

On the economic front Russia has taken each and every blow aimed at it and has survived. More than that and much to the chagrin of western leaders it has adapted its systems to ensure they are further strengthened and made impermeable to future attacks from the West. We can add many features of the new reality which demonstrate beyond any question that Russia will ultimately be greatly strengthened, not weakened by western aggression toward it.

A fundamental miscalculation has been arrived at in the West that failed to acknowledge the reaction of much of the world to its many regime change wars of recent years. Nations attempting to build their economies and the politicians charged with doing this across the global south can surely only be doubtful regarding whether such actions can bring the stability they need. Quite on the contrary such upheavals are much more likely to bring them worse conditions and all, apparently, for the sake of the self-interests of the West.

The western political elites have found much to their dismay that those they relied upon in the global south to support them and condemn Russia are not doing so. Exacerbating this factor is a further economic factor, that Russia has many of the vital resources and products they can hardly do without. This leaves the West increasingly isolated, not Russia. In fact the prestige and respect along with its power of influence is rising, not falling.

Meanwhile a mass propaganda (or if you like an information) campaign has been mounted to promote the western view, its agenda, narratives and talking points. This has sought to create a black and white scenario absent any reference to the past whereby the West and their allies/proxies are wholly right and Russia and its allies are wholly wrong.

This is where subjective wishlist fantasy conflicts with objective, on the ground, reality.

Many pejorative things, in fact a plethora of these arrows of propaganda and viewpoint manipulation are created on a daily basis about Russia and its campaign in Ukraine, all attempting to build a certain picture that it is hoped will achieve certain aims. These comprise bolstering Ukrainian morale, shoring up to the max all opinionating that casts Putin as a vengeful, out of control demon facing imminent defeat by the plucky, infinitely brave Ukrainians who are defying all odds as a David defeating an evil Goliath and creating an overall momentum that it is hoped will lead to Russia being weakened, defeated and withdrawing from Ukraine.

The wishlist, wishful-thinking fantasy had its merits and achieved an enormous groundswell of support along with an acceptance that almost unlimited funds needed at home should instead be sent to Ukraine. However, with Russia winning on all fronts this consensus is beginning to fall apart and some rowing back on the expenditure via weaponry and financial gifts to Ukraine is now in evidence.

Everyone in the West is used to the endless series of TV and movie creations where the villain always loses in the end after seemingly unstoppable progress doing his or her evil deeds. The hero always prevails against all odds to slay whatever storyline “dragon” is involved. Reality is suspended. But life is not like that. However, in certain circumstances and especially when the full might and weight of political and media volume wishes it, a similar suspension of reality can be achieved in real life as opposed to within some Hollywood fiction.

So has it been with Ukraine. And so it was with several regime change wars conducted previously, most infamously against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. The demon must be depicted as totally black. Now of course virtually no historical leader has been totally white, unimpeded by egotistic peccadillos, moral failings or dubious ethical values in thought or deed. But those who are conceived as vital subjects for elimination by western powers have universally been depicted as being as black as night (or whatever other analogy you prefer).

Putin was not supposed to survive. This was not the movie being envisaged. Russia was meant to descend screaming to a state of abject penury whereupon all those aspects of its governance would be overturned. The western “heroes” were then to march in to save the day and rescue every princess from every dragon’s clutches or fiery jaws.

The movie projector has gone rogue. What is being increasingly seen on the screen of elite western minds is not at all what they wished for and they are having huge problems in negotiating ways to deal with this fat, with the realities they are being exposed to.

What to do?

How can all those PR realities now be negated after their careful creation? How can the expectations that everything will come right at the end of the “movie” be adjusted significantly enough to allow those things which must now be done to be done? How much lying will be exposed destroying reputations across the board with the attendant humiliation this will entail?

Western political elites WILL find ways to fudge reality and avoid the maximum humiliation that should come their way. They showed this in the aftermath of many previous inadvisable adventures they involved themselves in such as that over Iraq and its non-existent WMD. But make no mistake. There WILL be a heavy price to pay over the Ukraine debacle and the reputation of the West, already hugely damaged by the reckless regime change wars of the past will, in my estimation, be dealt a terminal blow in regard to it creating a unipolar world where it is supremely dominant.

That is arguably, ultimately the greatest and most sought for reality that will be exposed as a totally unattainable fantasy and which the global south along with Russia and China will increasingly point to as the last great delusion held by an economically dying western world.
