Ukraine in the News

 Russia keep hoping that the odd fact will somehow make it into the Western media. They found a headline in the Telegraph that "Ukraine and the West are facing a devastating defeat", but if one reads the article, it says that, unless the West sends much more money and weapons to the Ukraine, there is a chance that the war might result in a stalemate, and this would be terrible, so get that money and weapons going ASAP. If the West does not totally mess up, eventually Russia will be ejected from all of the Ukraine and a huge chunk of Western Russia will become a border zone controlled by the Ukraine to ensure there cannot be another invasion.

 Officially, Russia have lost more than 300,000 dead soldiers, many more injured, the Russian economy is in a state of total collapse (I heard Secretary Yellen repeating that recently), so no money for weapons or ammunition, hence the Russians round up any males they can find, mostly very young boys and elderly men, give them Soviet or Czarist weapons, and send them into battle with trained soldiers behind them and told that, if they do not charge the Ukrainians who all have advanced US weapons, they will all be shot from behind, so off to slaughter they go, but most Russian males are in hiding or have sneaked out of Russia to somewhere safe from the draft. The result is that Putin is having a very hard time replacing the lost 300,000, all Russia are united against Putin, and he will very soon be overthrown and replaced with someone like Navalny who will agree surrender and let NATO break Russia up into 7 unarmed states, all with a nominal local leader (appointed by NATO) and with NATO supervisors who will tell the nominal leaders what to do. 

The US said at the beginning that the goal of the war was regime change in Russia and to weaken Russia enough that they could never again engage in any military activity. Recently, the US have said they have no intention of destroying Russia. When one smashes a mirror, one has not destroyed the mirror, one has just transformed a big mirror into a bunch of small mirrors, an improvement. The US did not destroy Yugoslavia. There is no longer any Yugoslavia on the map, but that wasn't destruction, just improvement. And removing Russia from the map will not be destruction, but improvement!

It is illegal to write anything else in the Western media, so this is all one can find. The odd misleading headline somehow managed to make it into the Telegraph, but none of the facts: i.e., the Russian economy is doing OK, in fact, the top 6 economies by PPP are the PRC, US, India, Japan, Germany, and Russia. The GDP at PPP of the BRICS is now larger than the GDP of the G7. So the Russian military, after a first fortnight in February 2022 of horrible mistakes, got their act together. A classified document leaked by Airman Teixeira showed that the actual Ukrainian losses have been 7 to 10 times as many as Russian losses in terms of dead and wounded soldiers. Tucker Carlson mentioned this on his show and was fired the next Monday because he reported this prohibited fact. Plus NATO materiel and troop burn rate are far more than their replacement rate while Russian materiel and troop replacement rate are somewhat more than their burn rate, which means things have been going badly for the Ukraine and NATO and will only get worse. But you'll never see that in any of the Western media. And all the Western news anchors know what will happen if the odd fact ever gets into any of their newscasts about the Ukraine.
