BOTH WESTERN & UKRAINIAN LEADERSHIPS READY THEIR MUD FOR SLINGING

Ukraine lost the battle of Bakhmut while sustaining horrendous losses in a useless slaughter indulged in by the Ukrainian regime for purely PR purposes. Now it seeks to initiate an offensive that will further decimate its military ranks. Conscripts with only a few days training are taking the place of professional troops who have died in their droves.

The truth above however, cannot be tolerated. Therefore, comforting, self-serving delusion must take its place and the guilty parties must be found elsewhere. So, in tandem with delusions internally there will be a need for others for western public consumption. A plethora of semi-believable excuses have long been readied alongside a generous supply of responsibility-obscuring mud to throw obscuring guilt.

The entire panoply of western leadership are continuing to surround themselves in mirages of misplaced breast-beating over Ukraine rather than facing anything as onerous as facts. But the facts are now becoming too obvious to ignore and both the western leaders and that of Ukraine are preparing their excuses.

The fact in question are of course incredibly hard to face considering the assumption of western leaders have that they are hugely righteous, amounting to the greatest collective global power in existence to whom the concept of defeat is entirely unknown. And that defeat therefore has become entirely unthinkable.

Meanwhile, Ukraine goes from one defeat to another, talking all the while of an eventual victory. Its leaders appear blind to the stark reality facing them or are simply too far gone within the media facade that has been created to escape the weight of lies created. But the reality is one of imminent defeat, a dfeat so complete it cannot possibly be hidden.

Therefore, happily for them (for the time being) all will be wished away by means of one means of deceit or another. If you look closely you will see those deceits being prepared, this evidenced by signs of an inevitable blame game starting.

The first example concerns Joe Biden, who brought up the fact that Zelensky had initially been unwilling to accept the fact that Russia was about to initiate a campaign in Ukraine. It was a purely gratuitous criticism that had no current context to explain it, except an indication from Biden (and perhaps a warning to Zelensky) that if things carried on as they were the mud-slinging would not be one-sided in the event of a debacle.

Then there was the article in the New York Times which bemoaned the fact that the western powers knew less than they should about Ukraine’s military tactics, giving the distinct impression that they were to some degree in the dark due to Ukraine not providing adequate information to them. We can predict much more of this kind of talk in due course.

On the Ukrainian side we can also see the mud being gathered ready for slinging at the USA and its proxies.

Neither Zelensky nor any of those in the front line of Ukraine’s leadership are going to capitulate. They are going to act in defiant fashion, forever calling for more assistance by way of heavy weaponry, never for a moment suggesting any desire to come to any agreement with Russia, always ready to fight to the last Ukrainian. However, the western world is rapidly diminishing in its ability or willingness to supply what the Ukrainian leadership demands. Zelensky and his people cannot say any different than they do. To capitulate for them means ignominy. A much safer strategy is to keep breast-beating, to keep posturing heroically, keep insisting on eventual victory and most importantly of all, keep demanding more weaponry from the West.

This latter point is vital as it provides the mud to sling later when the protective spin for them will be that they fought like devils for Ukraine but were let down by those who promised so much but then failed to deliver.

There is no way Zelensky and co. can agree to talks with Russia now. This route was taken only a few weeks into Russia’s campaign. It was even bearing some fruit. Ukraine agreed to some important (though not enough) crucial aspects that provided some hope that continued talks might bring a meaningful breakthrough. It was the western leaders who apparently convinced Zelensky to break off these talks and row back on the progress made. Chief of those who convinced Zelensky of this was seemingly Boris Johnson but undoubtedly Joe Biden had a hand in it also. It seems Zelensky was told that if he abandoned talks with Russia he would be delivered overwhelming firepower with which to defeat Russia.

Zelensky will say, if only the West had provided the number of weapons he required Ukraine would have defeated Russia and taken back all the lands Russia now counted as its own. The western leaders will say Zerlensky wasn’t honest with them and never let them know the true position of his army.

The logistics of providing the arms, ammunition and training necessary by the West make the task of defeating Russia unattainable and the decimation of Ukrainian troops via tactical incompetence by Ukraine make it unattainable also. Russia has the manufacturing base to supply and resupply both men and materiel on such an unlimited basis to defeat Ukraine no matter what was done. The West could never match the virtual war economy Russia has at her command.

The theatre of the absurd will continue a while yet with both the western powers and the Zelensky regime talking pie in the sky while that sky increasing falls down upon them. Neither are willing to face reality. Too much is at stake for them personally if they do. Meanwhile Ukrainian troops die in their droves.

The politicians on both sides are doing their level best to save their own necks while the abominable suffering drags on and a Russian victory looms ever larger on the horizon. No talks. No concessions. More deaths. More territory taken. But the illusory heroic status of Zelensky will be retained till the end with 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 different refrain however, one that talks of Ukrainian officials providing “inaccurate information”, officials who talked up victories that had no reality but that which was conjured up only in their own minds.

Zelensky and Biden will spit out both their excuses and denials, their finger pointing will descend into a farcical black comedy. And all the while Russia will reap the full reward for her victory, the achievement of every single goal set at the start of her victorious campaign.
