Losing the war in Ukraine is a loss of face for the USA
and NATO. It is even more catastrophic than losing the Afghanistan War.
Losing to Russia is a very difficult pill to swallow, and finding an
excuse to extricate is equally painful. It is going to set a precedent
for Taiwan that all the USA 'iron clad' pronouncements mean little when
the shit hits the fan.
The USA and NATO thought that mounting
the Russian Bear in Ukraine is going to be a piece of cake, what with
all the seizure of Russian assets and sanctions imposed on Russia.
Little do they realize too late that Russia is indeed a war machine.
Defeating Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte was the lesson the USA and
NATO failed to learn. In fact, the USA should already have learnt its
lesson in Afghanistan, the 'Graveyard of Empires'. The USA thinks that
with its military might and support of NATO, Russia is toast. Now, it is
the EU that gets toasted.
The world is now looking at the
failure of sanctions in all its glory against Russia. The most
sanctioned country in history is doing better than all the sanctioning
doggies. That is the biggest irony. What a slap on the face of the USA,
EU and all the doggies!!
Failing to bring down Russia with all the sanctions is already a loss of face. With 32 member supposedly rich countries of NATO doing everything they can, and even stealing Russian assets, all failing to stop Russia is making them a laughingstock. With all the rhetorics over energy sanctions, Russia collapsing and Ukraine victorious during the initial stages of the war all collapsing like a house of cards. Even the atrocious propaganda harping on Putin's illnesses fail to dampen the Russian resolve. Putin is still alive and out foxing the USA and the West in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, Russia is doing even better than the Europeans economically. How is that even possible with Russia isolated they were saying? Russia has no friends is as empty a narrative as those echo chambers gloating about it. Russia is even winning more friends faster than the USA losing them. Now, who is behind the USA except all the Anglo-Saxon Whites and a few hangers on like Japan, South Korea, Philippines and you know who.
