FURTHER ESCALATION WILL SOON RESULT IN NATO LOSES
UKRAINE CANNOT WIN WITHOUT DIRECT ASSISTANCE
While we hear that Ukraine is still advancing and that Russia may collapse at any time, it is a lot of misinformation. The Ukrainians have advanced slightly in near 4 months. Have lost over 40,000 troops and much of the equipment it had collectd for this offensive. The Russians have held their defenses and sometimes withdrawn to more favorable defensive positions. There has not been, nor does it appear that any breakthrough is now possible.
We see the escalation in the use of western drones and missiles in attempts to damage Crimea. These attacks are made possible by surveillance provide by the U. S. air resources in the Black Sea. This assistance is also being used to provide targeting information, this is direct participation in this conflict and it is only a matter of time that those U.S. assets will be neutralized by Russia. The question is how are we prepared to respond to this inevitable situation.
There are also indications that some of the British storm shadow missiles are being launched from NATO aircraft flying out of Romania. This is again direct participation, if true.
General Milly has admitted that there is a space in the pentagon that directly manages the war from Washington, He admits he is in daily contact with the Ukrainian military. It is a fact that there is coordination between the U.S. and Ukrainian military. This is direct participation.
There have been reports, although the names and ranks of the alleged soldiers have not been released, of a Leopard tank destroyed in Ukraine manned by German military. If this is true it will not go well in Germany.
We also see that Polish PM and has declared that Ukraine is now in a very dangerous situation, likening it to trying to save a drowning person, they may take the rescuers down to the same fate. Poland has also declared no more military aid to Ukraine. The European members are all bracing for a difficult winter with energy shortages and possible civil unrest. This war of attrition is taking a toll on the European supporters of this conflict.
In the U.S. Biden has asked for $28 billion more aid for Ukraine immediately and $100 billion for the next year. All while the U.S. debt passed $33 billion this week. It is a fact that the conflict is attritioning the U.S. that just piles on more debt.
Without western air support or direct military involvement, this conflict is soon going to collapse. Any further direct involvement will then open the possibility of even more dire consequences. There is no winning result on the horizon.
