When they do fail and need to extricate themselves, they
will have to invent an excuse to save face. They cannot just stop the
war and tell the world they were defeated, despite all 32 NATO countries
coming together to fight a single Russia. Just wait and watch how they
will fabricate the narrative to throw Zelensky under the bus when all
else seems hopeless.
The first Ukrainian F16 was taken down days
ago, but the excuses have varied. One excuse was diverted towards pilot
error, a veteran pilot well regarded. Of course, admitting that the
Russians shot that F16 down is a loss of face so early in their game
changing moves. The USA is paranoid that more F16s are going to bite the
dust under Russian missiles. The most damaging reason came from
Ukraine's inner circle, a lady that spilled the beans that the F16 was
shot down by its own patriot missiles, killing its most experienced
pilot, which is even a more shameful admission. She accused the Zelensky
Government of trying to lie its way out.
If the F16s continue to
fall from the sky, Zelensky may be bold enough to ask for F35s to
change the game. So far, all the game changers - Leopard tanks,
Challenger tanks, Abrams tanks, HIMARS, Patriot missiles have done
nothing to change the game.
That Ukrainian foray into Kursk may
be a ploy by Putin to lure Ukrainian troops and military equipment away
from the Eastern front in Donbass to give the Russians an easier route
to advance its territorial gain. Those Ukrainian troops and equipment
now in Kursk could be taken care of at leisure, knowing they are being
bogged down with winter just closing in them.

Trump said that trade wars are easy to win. There must have been so much winning that the Make America Great Again is now silent. If China had been defeated during that trade war, why is the USA so scared of Chinese manufacturing and competition? Oh, don't talk about subsidies and unfair trade practices. The USA is the master of using subsidies into an art that dwarfs what China did.
ReplyDeleteBiden gloated at the start of the Ukraine War that Ukraine, with the support of NATO will ride roughshod over Russia. Sanctions will turn the Russian ruble into rubbles and Russia will collapse under those sanctions. More than 16,000 sanctions later, Russia is doing even better than most NATO countries. The Ukraine War has in fact made Russia great again. As for Biden, I guess he cannot even remember saying that. It is no longer his baggage to carry after all. It will be someone else's problem.
So, with both successive Presidents achieving nothing that they bragged about achieving, what else is new? More gaslighting is coming from the protege of Dracula, Kamala Harris, the shrieking hyena. The MSM is hyping up her image to high heaven and downplaying Trump, forgetting that she did practically nothing as Vice President except inventing 'word salads' when faced with difficult questions. Of course, they are going all out and making sure that she follows the script they wrote for her in order to appear credible. Do not be fooled.
