When the sh*t hits the fan and both Western & Ukrainian fantasies of "victory" over Russia totally evaporate... that's when the absolute mother of all blame games will start.
The truth cannot be tolerated, therefore comforting delusion must take its place. In tandem with this selective delusion many excuses must and will have been long-prepared. No one wants to be left holding the mewling Ukrainian baby when this is all over. A sufficient amount of mud must therefore be prepared by both sides to hit the other with to escape responsibility.
Biden continues to surround himself in a mirage of misplaced breast-beating over Ukraine rather than face up to anything as onerous as the facts on the ground. Those facts are of course incredibly hard to face considering that both he and Zelensky believe themselves to be totally in the right and to them the concept of defeat is entirely alien. However, that defeat is on its way and Biden and Zelensky will do their darndest to escape responsibility for it.
Meanwhile, as the mud is gathered behind closed doors… Ukraine goes from one defeat to another, with Zelensky talking all the while of an eventual victory. One that was never going to come. He appears blind to the stark reality facing him, the reality of imminent defeat. There is a theory going around however that he is fully aware of the imminent defeat and is preparing the ground, and all his excuses for an eventual blame-free exit.
For the time being all such concerns are washed away by means of one total fantasy or another. However, if you look closely you will see the fantasies talked of above beginning to leak at the seams. For Biden and Zelensky it is becoming ever more important to have a range of believable excuses ready for when the shit finally does hit the fan:
THE USA WILL BLAME ZELENSKY UPON UKRAINE’S DEFEAT
The material no doubt being prepared as you read this will state that the Ukrainian leadership failed to provide adequate intelligence concerning either its strategy or success/failure on the battlefield. It will say that the USA and its allies gave everything the Ukrainian regime asked for but the endemic corruption and sheer incompetence of its army made it inevitable that it would lose. Time and again we will hear that the USA et al did everything possible to assist Ukraine, gave everything needed to win, but due to massive disorganisation and failure to take advice, the end result that has transpired was inevitable.
ZELENSKY WILL BLAME USA & WEST UPON UKRAINE’S DEFEAT
Neither Zelensky nor any of those in the front line of Ukraine’s leadership are going to capitulate. Not unless they finally realize that the USA and its allies have decided they are a lost cause and refuse to march forward with them into WWIII. Some speculate that this was why Zelensky delivered a completely delusional ‘Victory Plan’ this week. The theory is that he has created a clearly unattainable plan precisely so that he can blame his western sponsors for Ukraine’s defeat when they refuse his unreasonable plans.
Zelensky and his minions have been acting in defiant fashion all along, nothing was ever enough for them, forever calling for more of this, that and the next thing that they said would enable them to “win”. Nothing that was sent ever did the trick. Now Zelensky has created an ultimatum to the West in the form of his ‘Victory Plan’.
Never once did Zelensky suggest any desire to come to an agreement with Russia, he always appeared willing to fight to the last Ukrainian. However, the western world is now VERY rapidly diminishing in its ability or willingness to supply anything more that the regime demands. In fact it appears clear that nothing of substance will any more be sent to Ukraine and that there will be no permission for missiles to hit deep into Russia. Ukraine will NOT be granted access to NATO membership as the ‘Victory Plan’ demands.
Zelensky is to be left high and dry. And when this becomes totally clear to him then his side of the blame game will begin to hit back in earnest. The USA, nor its allies gave Ukraine what it needed to win. Zelensky will speak in harsh terms of how he pleaded for the weapons, finances and support required to win and was met with a paltry response. He will assert that the western powers failed to recognise the full importance of helping Ukraine face down the Russians and he will invite them to contemplate their own fate at Russia’s hands having done so.
We will no doubt see the fakery surrounding the usual theater of the absurd continue for a while yet whereby both the western powers and the Zelensky regime talk pie in the sky while that sky increasingly falls down upon them. Neither appears willing to face oncoming reality just yet. Too much is at stake for them personally if they do. Meanwhile Ukrainian troops die in their droves.
The politicians on either side are doing their level best to save their own necks while the abominable suffering drags ever on. No talks. No concessions. More deaths. More territory taken. But the demanded heroic status of Zelensky will be asserted and retained till the end with ultimately a finger pointing at the deceivers and foot-draggers of the West who let his country down.
In the USA and across the western world we will hear a very different refrain however, one that talks of Ukrainian officials providing “inaccurate information”, officials who talked up victories that had no reality but that were conjured up only in their own minds. Zelensky will be increasingly talked of as an extremely delusional individual who was never able to confront reality and who was ultimately a very bad partner of the West. All the fine words spoken of him at the height of the conflict when it seemed possible to weaken Russia will be forgotten. As will most of what was done to prop him up. Project Ukraine will end. Silence on the topic will prevail while Project Taiwan to weaken China “coincidentally” goes into top gear.
