WESTERN ELITES ARE DRIVING UKRAINE HEADLONG TOWARD TOTAL DISASTER

Is the western world led by madmen? It certainly seems so.

Obsessions tend to ruin those who find no way to release themselves from them. They have arrived at a central locus within the minds of those who have fallen victim to a habit of mind that has been nurtured rather than rejected and are now in the driving seat.

The addiction that follows becomes virtually impossible to overcome, especially if peer pressure on top of all else, puts a second seal upon it.

Ukraine has become such an obsession for western elites. Unable to recognise reality, confusing themselves with endless wishful thinking and driven mad by the conviction that the next thing or the next thing will do the trick and win the day for them.

Meanwhile those Ukrainians on the battlefield, increasingly relatively elderly conscripts frogmarched into uniforms and sent as cannon fodder continue to die uselessly and tragically, decimated by a professional army. A professional army originally sent in the hope of a capitulation by Kiev that would have been agreed by a more responsible and wiser president and government, with a view to saving both lives and territory.

The longer this war goes on the more needless deaths of Ukrainians will occur and the more of Ukraine will be lost forever. Zelensky has been promised that the next thing and the next thing will do the trick. But the magic silver bullet never, ever arrives and never will. No matter what weapons the USA, UK or Europe sends, no matter how much money they senselessly pour into Ukraine, Russia will match on taking more lives and territory, far more than were ever contemplated.

The West has upped the ante constantly, forcing Zelensky to keep fighting to the last Ukrainian. Those sensible Ukrainians who could get out have gone. Now Kiev is forcing men well past their prime to be paraded as virtual sitting ducks to be mown down in their hundreds day after day.

However, back in western capitals those who run the mainstream media news outlets are pouring out an endless waterfall of deception claiming the perpetual defeats that the Ukrainian forces are experiencing are in fact indicators of victory. One wonders what they will say as the last uniformed Ukrainian expires or surrenders? That the next thing or the next thing will bring the long-sought victory? Somehow after so many such false promises, I really don’t think so.

Now however, the heavily advertised great offensive of the Ukrainian military in the Donbass is being hastily downplayed. It appears a Russian hypersonic missile strike on a bunker in Lviv took out many top level military commanders, some of them NATO officers. The glorious facade constructed by western mass media is unravelling fast. Look out soon for much back-peddling of all those earlier predictions of “victory”.

Incrementally the nation known as Ukraine is being reduced to a state where it cannot hope to be a viable state again standing on its own. The latest gambit of the regime seems to be to become part of Poland instead. Is this the great “victory” we were all told about that would be Ukraine’s if it kept fighting and rejected peace?

Truly, the western powers have been no friend to the Ukrainian people or the Ukrainian state. They have brought the nation to ruin and instigated the deaths of up to a quarter of a million men and counting. They have lost it a good quarter of its territory when Russia was originally asking for none, only to provide the security of autonomy for the Russian-speaking people of the Donbass.

Can it be said with any merit that the West has helped Ukraine in any way, except helping it to commit national suicide? If you think it has helped by arm-twisting Zelensky into rejecting the peace settlement that was almost reached in Istanbul a year ago tell me in what way. All I see is a western world using Ukraine as a tool, a tool which is now broken. Those self-obsessed elites, seeking to retain their dominance in a world turning away from them, are simply driving Ukraine toward total disaster.
