Biggest loser by far in Ukraine war is USA

The end of Ukraine is imminent. The Ukraine that existed on February 23 2022 is gone forever. Ukraine was a failed state before this war started. Once the most prosperous state in the USSR, by 2022 its GDP per capita had collapsed to one third of Russia’s. It has in the past year run up well over $100 billion USD in fresh debt obligations, while losing its industrial heartland and its most productive agricultural lands. The chances of Ukraine making good on its national debt are nil. US-NATO propaganda, as evidenced in Sleepy Joe’s speech in Poland today, continues to trumpet never-ending support towards a victory that is always just around the corner. Just a few more months and a few more billions and long-range missiles and tanks and F-16s. That’s the rhetoric. The reality is that there’s always been a substantial lag between NATO promises and what shows up on the ground. Ukraine’s allies are keen to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, but not so keen to deliver the good stuff that might make a difference. Ukraine was calling on its NATO allies to close the skies a year ago. USA still says it won’t send fighter jets. Without air cover tanks are pointless. Not that there’s actually much in the way of tanks being delivered. As for artillery shells and ammunition in general, all indications are that, even though Russia fires at least four times as many rounds as Ukraine every day, the entire Western arsenal cannot keep Ukraine supplied. Since the vast majority of casualties in this war are from artillery, it is inconceivable that Russian casualties are higher than Ukrainian. The West is still winning the propaganda war, at least on their home turf. Nobody in India, China, Africa, or the Western hemisphere south of the Rio Grande is rushing to slap sanctions on Russia. This war is isolating the USA far more than it is isolating Russia. What the American Empire fears most is happening before our eyes. It is being exposed as an impotent imperial emperor with feet of clay and no clothes.
