Ukraine is of no overwhelming strategic value to the West except as a means to plague and weaken Russia. However, rather than serve this purpose it is now acting as a net bringer of loss to the entire collective West who worked to push Russia into a corner from which it would explode out to resolve issues it had long sought to solve peacefully through negotiation.
The economic war that the western powers enacted to unleash a blight on Russia has not only been effectively countered by Russia it has as we can all see, blown back in western faces to such a degree that the very foundations of western societies are set to be severely shaken.
The collective west in effect has committed collective economic suicide over a nation that was of peripheral, if any value to it. The belief was however that in order to maintain their global domination in perpetuity western political elites needed to undermine those rising to take this status from them. Russia is only one of the targets and the latest. China is already being prepped to be the next.
That this deserves a major dose of humiliation for the western elites who devised this debacle must surely be clear. But of course we know from past experience that every tactic devised since the time of Machiavelli and before will be used to minimise any such humiliation. Face-saving narratives will be devised, agreed and sent out in multiple memo form to all and sundry within the matrix of western political and media elites.
One such narrative was expressed by the German political hierarchy via the Der Spiegel newspaper. This narrative wished us to believe that the German government’s reason for not providing certain items of weaponry to Ukraine was that it might have too much success using them. This narrative envisions Ukraine defeating the Russian forces in the Donbass and marching into Russia using Germans weapons. These qualms were however, after much outside pressure, assuaged and Germany did indeed send those weapons.
Other narratives will without doubt be devised to explain away the defeat of Ukraine in an attempt to disassociate western political elites from it. Naturally Russia will be verbally attacked with even greater venom at that point and with even less justification than before. All merely par for the course. The entire western world has been filled with a litany of lies for decades now. The new iteration of lies is likely to create a verbal dust storm designed to blind western populations to the fact that their own leaders have brought them to this abject failure.
Macron, as well as Scholz of Germany have been busy on this front. They both privately fear humiliation if things go on as they are… whereas Russia is in do danger whatsoever of suffering any humiliation at all. In fact Russia will emerge stronger and will find the number of its friends has only increased.
Macron and Merkel threw away the influence they had regarding the Minsk Agreements where Kiev promised to walk the path of peace and reconciliation. Macron, his predecessor and Merkel failed to put necessary pressure on Ukraine to live up to and honour its commitments. Not once did they attempt to apply the pressure desperately needed in this respect. Ukraine was allowed to continue on its path to war leaving Russia with no choice but to intervene. We now know this was by design. Germany and France were successfully duping a Russia anxious to maintain the peace in relation to Ukraine.
Now a reckoning for the West looms.
But they will squirm like hotplate roasted worms to avoid that reckoning.
Just watch.
