West and Ukraine bullshitting each other.

 WEST PROMISES NATO AND EU MEMBERSHIP

UKRAINE PROMISES NEW COUNTEROFFENSIVE


If bullshit won wars the Ukraine conflict would have been over 2 years ago, but sadly the death and destruction continues without any hope of a positive outcome for Ukraine. The west in its hope to encourage Ukraine to keep fighting is still promising NATO membership and becoming a EU member. Sadly the rules for such membership clearly preclude any such thing, anytime soon.

Then we have Zelensky talking about a new counteroffensive in 2025. We expect that this is in the hope of receiving more funds from its western backers. The reality is that Ukraine has had 2 new armies destroyed and will not be able to replace the manpower for a third army. The other reality is that the west does not have the ability to supply more tanks, vehicles, weapons and ammunition.

While all this smoke and mirrors continues, middleclass Ukrainian men a dying to the tune of near 1000 every week and no one can calculate the disabling injuries. But as the esteemed Washington politicians say, it is all worth it, if Russian are dying. It is disgusting to witness the lack of compassion that we see from Washington politicians who will sacrifice any number of human lives to accomplish their political ends.

Moscow has now stated that the recent attacks on the power generation in Ukraine is in response to the Washington encouraged attacks on Russian energy production. The Russians also stated that they waited to after the winter for humanitarian purposes. The fact is that the Russians are systematically destroying the ability of Ukraine to generate electricity that cannot be rebuilt for possibly months.

Kharkov is now under mandatory evacuation orders as Ukraine expects a major attack by Russia. While Russia has been taking out the infrastructure, they may again just continue in the wat of attrition by making the city a desolate unlivable place and move to some other objective. It may be just a giant diversion of Ukraines limited manpower.

Ukraine has lowered the conscription age to 25 from 27, but is struggling to find new recruits. Washington is encouraging them to lower it to 18. The reality is the motivated men who desired to join the military have all enlisted, the others do not want to go and will likely be poor soldiers if forced to the front. 

Sadly the war looks like it will continue until Ukraine can longer field a viable defense and will loose more territory and be at a poor position for any negotiated peace.
