U.S./ Ukraine adventure falling apart.

 LITTLE HOPE OF SUCCESSFUL UKRAINIAN COUNTER OFFENSIVE

LITTLE HOPE OF CREATING STRONGER NEGOTIATING POSITION

While General Milley is out and about talking about the failed Russian offensive, he knows that the proverbial handwriting is on the wall. This adventure planned by the United States and NATO has failed.The question is, how to end it and save the face of the U.S. and NATO. It is now looking like the time for saving face may be over. Of course, they can just declare victory and have the complicit media affirm this to be true and just refuse to talk about it anymore. This seems to be the standard policy after all. 

While lots of NATO meetings are going on it now seems that these allies have decided to cut their losses, there is a growing reluctance to squander any more military equipment that they now realize is going to take them years to replace. It now seems there is a question if the much celebrated tanks will be delivered.

While NATO has kept up the narrative, that they will support Ukraine forever, it is clear, they cannot keep that promise. They cannot produce enough materiel to keep this fight up and the United States military is now warning that its supplies are becoming dangerously low.

It has been reported that Ukraine is considering or already has lowered the conscription age to 16 and are picking up any men, even if unfit for service, and sending them to the front. How long can such policies be maintained?

It seems the west is still attempting to judge this conflict by land taken. While Russia is judging this conflict by the devastation of the Ukrainian ability to defend. They have fortified their lines and just continued to allow Ukraine to have to ship material and men from the west, a 750 mile supply line. Then when it all arrives just destroy it with a relentless barrage of long range artillery and rockets. The day will come, if this situation is not countered, when there will no longer be any resistance. Can the west wait until that day to commence serious negotiations? Is Russia still willing to engage in negotiations before that time?

This is all complicated by the unconstitutional and illegal, by both U.S. and international law, destruction of the Nord stream pipeline. While the U.S. continues to deny their guilt, it is clear to the German people and investors that the U.S. engaged in this foolhardy and impulsive display of arrogance. Some Europeans now question if this war is more about economic supremacy than democracy. 

While at present, the EU countries continue to insist on their resolve, it is now clear that it is beginning to evaporate as reality become obvious.
