UKRAINE: TRUTH WAS THE FIRST CASUALTY… BUT REALITY WILL NOT BE DENIED

 

HUBRIS BEGINS AT HOME

The western powers had what they thought was a very strong hand. Get Russia bogged down spending blood and treasure in Ukraine and in coincidence delivering a vast number of what they thought would be devastating hits on the Russian economy. From these two weapons, they believed, the Russian state, by one means or another, would collapse. In fact, as we have seen, they have lost both bets. As the EU descends into recession the Russian economy is growing by around 3.5% at the last count and in eastern Ukraine Russia is incrementally winning by grinding down the Ukrainian army at the rate of some 400 to 800 men per day killed or wounded. Russia is bringing ever more well trained men to the front line while Ukraine is grabbing people, giving them a few weeks training and sending them to die under a hail of all kinds of munition from the Russian side. Ukraine has no air force to speak of while Russia has an industrial base churning out ever more planes as well as tanks, missiles, drones and ammunition. The western powers with their political and media wishful thinking are in fact aiding the Russians in grinding down the Ukrainian armed forces and there is absolutely nothing on the horizon that will change any of this until a capitulation by the USA, EU and the UK in the name of a deceased Ukrainian state.

ATROCITY PORN & ITS USES

What are called atrocities during the Ukraine conflict are mistakenly laid at Russia's door. If you examine each and every example that the consensus of western outlets say were down to Russia's actions you start to realise they are very far from cut and dried and more than that, the evidence in each and every major case indicates that there is a very strong case for saying it was the Ukrainians, NOT the Russians. THAT IS IN EVERY MAJOR CASE. The reality is that the Ukrainians and those political and media elites in the West who support them to the hilt have been on a mission to demonise the Russians since day one of the conflict. THAT is what lies behind the consensus in the West, not the facts. The facts and details of each case appear to be of no interest to western elite outlets whether political or from the mainstream news media. Therefore Freddy, please do a little research in depth into these atrocities before you imply that Russia committed them. Keep in mind that in the vast majority of cases these atrocities happened to the Russian-speaking populations of places such as Kramatorsk (missile attack on civilians trying to leave) or Mariupol (civilians taking shelter in the theatre there.) Keep in mind that the worst of the Nazi-mentality fanatical ultra-nationalists of western Ukraine hate the Russian-speakers of eastern Ukraine with a passion because to them they are hated Russians, not Ukrainians at all.

DEMONISE, DISTORT, NEVER DESCRIBE

The incessant 'war mode' journalism that exists in the western world in general and that is most pronounced in Britain has had the effect of poisoning even the seemingly highly intelligent there. Assertions concerning Russia as filtered through this incessant, thoroughly, nay absolutely, biased reporting (if one can even call it reporting) within this 'war mode' milieu is toxic. It generates an utterly false picture of so-called Ukrainian hopes for the future and successes in the present. It is typical of the kind of "reporting" that occurs in all the West's wars even stretching back to WWII. Nothing positive is said about the "enemy", the "enemy" is to be demonised at every turn, vilified in the same kind of terms as the Nazis of WWII, with no redeeming qualities and no excuses for an 'unprovoked attack'. Of course those who decide to make even a cursory unbiased and curious inspection of the period in Ukraine between 2014 and February 2022 can see quickly and easily that this conflict was quite obviously provoked and provoked time and time again to unbearable lengths. Even such rational minds as that which Freddy has acquired have been tainted by the 'war mode' propaganda bias of total bias, wishful thinking and MI6-concocted storylines, most designed to bore deep into the subconscious of all listeners and readers to demonise 'the other side'. This is one of the most evil and cynical things that has been seen and continues to be seen which totally turns the entire picture of what has been happening in Ukraine on its head. The constant flow of mendacious and slanderous lies from all manner of Ukrainian officials from the president on down has been constant since 2014... yet all these lies have been passed along as holy writ by a thoroughly compromised western political class and media who have prostituted themselves most completely to a man and woman leaving them with no integrity whatsoever.

WAR MODE JOURNALISM

Editorial control and self-censorship regarding "reporting" about the Ukraine conflict in the West requires that any negative factors be minimised in importance and completely ignored if at all possible and even the tiniest gains are to be exaggerated into massive victories. In this way the increasingly hapless conscripts of the Ukrainian army are thrown to their doom on the front lines. Lies, blatant fabrications, inflated success, obvious misinformation and propaganda all conspire to lose the Ukrainian ever-increasing losses. Deaths, grievous injuries and massive trauma, frostbite, hunger and all manner of psychological dysfunction are all driven forward by editors and commentators in the West sipping their coffee or whisky, dining out in exclusive restaurants and enjoying all the goodies in life they have become so well used to. It is as sick as it gets. All in a drive to give the impression that naturally the "show" must go on even when all is in reality lost with excruciating pain being suffered by families across Ukraine. It is no problem at all for those commentators and their editors across the western world. Their minds are closed with creative juices flowing only ti create ever more litanies of lie and exaggeration. No screams or pangs of abject suffering will ever reach their comfortable lives of happy ignorance and slavish devotion to 'the cause'.
