Doubling down all the way from the NATO summit in Bucharest where it was stated that Ukraine would at some point join NATO has brought the western powers to their greatest humiliation since the previous series of Afghanistan, Vietnam and, much further back in time, the Suez Crisis. We could also add Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen but for the moment let us focus on the first three which were the most obvious western humiliations in living memory.
Biden is doing his utmost to escape the blame and may succeed. His mental state of mind appears likely to preclude anything approaching a sharp awareness of the blame he cannot possibly avoid in this. An enormously embarrassing debacle is a mere few months away from exploding onto headlines worldwide. Biden will seek to shelter behind the focus on whoever is elected to be the next president in just a few days time. By January 2025 it is almost certain that there will be a general consensus across the western world that the Ukraine war is well and truly lost. The shit will then well and truly hit the fan.
Despite the spin devised by the White House professionals where Russia actually lost because it didn’t manage to take and occupy the entirety of Ukraine there is still likely to be a good proportion of the West that won’t be fooled. That the majority may well wish to believe the spin is also likely. The reality will be shunned to the greatest degree possible. That reality will be all that is important to Russia, not the continuation of the lies spread among western populations that have been a keynote since 2014. Russia will have its eye firmly focused on delivering what was promised, Ukraine never to join NATO, the Russian-speaking majority of the Donbass having their safety and security guaranteed in posterity and the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.
Despite the frantic attempt to cover western political arses and truly breathtaking, bare-faced lies designed to offer at least a partial fig leaf for failure, the remaining leaders of the collective west and NATO will, behind closed doors, be reeling. This could not be other than so. Look at the result and consequence of their doubling down until, outside of starting a nuclear war, they have nothing left to double down with. Arsenals across the West are all but bare, industrial capacity in the West is only capable of extremely slowly rebuilding them. NATO has been shown to be both a paper tiger and an overall negative when it comes to security. Russia will have one of the largest, most definitely most experienced army anywhere in the world. Russia’s prestige across the nations composing the global majority will be at sky high levels. BRICS will be further strengthened with an increasing number of nations seeking affiliation if not full membership. The Russian economy, already powering ahead, will rise to ever-greater heights.
The West? What of the West? Yet another gigantic failure. A humiliation arguably greater than any before in terms of its implications for the future. Prestige, powers, influence and global reach hugely shrunken and subject to the status of a laughing stock. Where do you think it could have the temerity to threaten then? Even if it dared, who would believe it after its total and overwhelming defeat at the hands of Russia? The answer is no one. Trying to shore up the damage by offering large bribes under the name of aid could well be tried and probably will. But the leaders of states now well outwith the control of the USA and its proxies will be laughing behind their hands.
The extent of the humiliation coming to all the nations of the West who aided and abetted the doubling down of the USA cannot be hidden except partially in the theater of western mass media deception, obfuscation and deceit. This is a very poor conciliation for whoever is left standing of the mendacious and overweeningly foolish and terminally arrogant leaders currently in place. They will take little consolation from this. The verdict of the major, economically powerful and populous nations of the global south who compose the global majority will be of inestimable importance and that verdict will be withering and hugely debilitating for the West. The speeding of the arrival of multipolarity will have been “achieved” by the communal stupidity and lack of insight demonstrated across the West.
This latter consequence, the inevitably speeded rise of the peer competitors of the West, the great powers of both Eurasia and Asia will hit harder month on month, year on years in the wake of the Ukrainian disaster. Shrinking visibly across the world stage back to its own borders the USA will be left to decline at ever faster pace, unable any longer to exploit the muscle that it previously abused so readily. Its decline will be speeded to a most precipitous extent with an internal level of social chaos as its economies shrink ever further as its eastern competitors inexorably rise. Who would wish to be within the borders of these states as expectations fostered to create consumption booms prove totally hollow, the American Dream well and truly dead and gone forever in a world that scorns the very mention of their nation’s name?
The egotistical, arrogant, interfering and murderous empire of the West is about to die by its own hand. Its leaders will fall like ninepins if there is any justice combined with a goodly level of insight that sees through the spin designed to gloss over their idiocy that brought about defeat. There will be no true escape for those scurrying around looking for shelter. They may burrow themselves away in grotesque fantasies mirroring the actions of George W. Bush after his comeuppance was avoided along with that of Anthony Blair. But the inner awareness of their guilt cannot so easily be avoided, nor can the catastrophic consequences for their nations.
