Most analyses of the Ukrainian counteroffensive declare it a failure, with a good portion of them blaming Ukraine’s scattered focus. Retired lieutenant general of the US Armed Forces attributes the majority of the blame on the West’s reluctance to provide Ukraine with substantial enough support. More on this as well as on the state of the Russian army, the hazards the Russian artillery is facing, as well as why he thinks it is realistic for Ukraine to reclaim its territories in accordance with the 1991 agreements.
As usual, the General comes out with the truth about the war, and the reluctance of the West in helping Ukraine win. It’s a pity this guy wasn’t the POTUS, the orcs would be back in their shithole by now.
Indeed, the West is completely at fault for this.
It is also at fault for other precarious situations it finds itself in. For years and years, other priorities were set. As mafia land became increasingly a rogue nation – a nice term for shithole – the West had nothing better to do than to increase business with it. It made itself almost completely economically dependent on china. It focused on open borders, massive invasions of “asylum seekers”, an enormous reduction of defense spending, LGBT and multitudes of genders, and make America great again. We lost our focus on things that are more important than anything, preserving our freedom. In the face of monumental assaults from rogue nations, terrorists, and subversive powers, especially those within our societies and political systems, we utterly failed. The best examples of this, is what’s happening in the House of Representatives, in various European countries in the form the German AfD, France’s Front National, Orban in Hungary, Erdogan in Turkey, Wilders in the Netherlands, and the other Merkels, Hollandes, Sarkozys of the free world. Losers, fascists, weaklings, and basic dirt all.
“US will support Ukraine for as long as it takes” rings as hollow as the words on the Budapest Memorandum. This is one thing the West has in common with the moscow sewer rat; neither’s promises can be trusted.
