Ukraine celebrates victory!

Battlefield victories have become few and far between in recent weeks for our plucky Ukrainian allies. But that is not to say they are without victories. Check out this BBC story for example. Even as things go from worse to even worser in the war with Russia, Ukrainians have won a major symbolic victory. The Ukrainian comfort food “borscht” had been added to the UNESCO index of endangered national dishes. Isn’t that something to celebrate! As we savour this victory in the borscht war, let's take a moment to re-evaluate that other war. How about we call it quits now and start saving 1000 Ukrainians per day by abandoning the US Empire’s plans to weaken Russia by sacraficing every last living Ukrainian.

NATO declines request to send F-35 fighters to Ukraine, sends best wishes instead

The prevailing Ukraine war narrative is causing major cognitive dissonance. 

On the one hand, this is the greatest threat to humanity since WWII. A sovereign state in Europe has invaded another sovereign state in Europe, surely a calamity, an outrage, worst thing since Hitler, etc.

On the other, actually fighting the invader is out of the question. Instead, we will crush him with "sanctions from hell."

If you're a fan of Hitler analogies, this would be where you recall how Hitler was stopped dead in his tracks by sanctions, right?

Fact check this; NATO will not interfere because the serious people know their combined military is no match for Russia's military.

Simple as that.

Which makes you wonder if they're effectively deploying their massive military budgets, collectively approx 15X the Russian military budget.

We're told Putin's war is a failure. Russian forces are bogged down. It's becoming a quagmire.

No, it isn't!

Every day Putin is "bogged down" is another day the NATO and EU ramp up the tensions amongst one another. Some of the more independently inclined are realizing the "sanctions from hell" are gonna be way more hellish on their own people than on Russia.

NATO was always USA directed. When it's raison d'etre dissolved in 1991, it should have been too. Instead, it was co-opted as America's foreign legion.

That foreign legion has made much mischief in various weak and defenceless nations in the three decades since.

This is the first time they've met a serious adversary.

That's why they're sending best wishes instead of F-35s

All Putin has to do is stay "bogged down" a few more weeks, and USA-NATO credibility will totally evaporate. The more the price of gas goes up, the less closely we'll stand with Ukraine.
