Attempting to "Redefine success" in Ukraine

  A LITTLE REALITY IS TRYING TO WEAKEN DELUSIONS

NATO AND U.S. PLEDGING SUPPORT, JUST A LOT LESS

It appears that the new goal in Ukraine is how to declare victory and then move on. It will be hard task to just let Ukraine dwindle in importance and continuing visibility, but with the western media, anything is now possible. They may even go as far as to punish anyone who does not accept or acknowledge victory.

While such delusions and narratives are now possible to those not directly involved, it will be far more real to the Ukrainians, who it is expected will continue to die and see their country wither in size in this new declared victory.

I guess we will be told that there is victory in the fact that many Russians have died and much wealth has been expended. That Europe is no longer dependent on Russian energy, even if they are going to be a lot poorer without it. That there is victory in the fact that Russia no longer has Coke-Cola, McDonalds or BMW cars, even if these companies have lost a sizable amount of revenue and assets.  Maybe it will be declared a victory that Russia will have very little interaction and commerce with west even if it has pretty much replaced those markets with others who are a lot more friendly and have a faster growing population and economy. 

Yes, victory can be found in many places, especially if you are not able to visit or experience those places first hand. In today's world everything is possible, even if  it is only a virtual reality.
