Discussion A Western Debacle Looms So the main themes for today, and I don’t have too much time to discuss them in detail, are as follows: (1) Russia has pretty much won the Donbass war, and the Ukrainian army has been defeated. It has been defeated for a few principal reasons, in my view: (a) Although it has strength in numbers Ukraine is very far behind in the supply of ammunition and weaponry in general. This may seem surprising in the face of all the Western daring-do propaganda about the supply of arms (supposedly in place of “feet on the ground,” but that too is a lie - there are plenty of US/NATO feet on this ground), but the West cannot keep up with the consumption (i.e. volume of firing) of Russian artillery, nor will it be able to do so for some time. (b) There are many other weaknesses that afflict the Ukrainian side, but I will single out one, which is the view of a war fought by script-writers, the kind of people whom the great leader of “Democracy,” Zelenskiy, professional comedian, picked up from the world of televised entertainment and pushed into leadership roles. From this perspective, this is a war fought for the television screens, a world in which it doesn’t matter that you lose, what matters is that the manner of your losing can attract more money and weapons from the West. (c) Inevitably, therefore, as reality begins to trump delusion, there are greater rifts opening in Kiev between politicians, military, fascists, the SBU (and CIA) and western sponsors. And (d) Kiev and Washington have seemingly been duped by their own propaganda against Russia and the Russian army, with the disastrous consequence that they have vastly underestimated the intelligence, diligence, strategic skills, and advanced weaponry of their enemy.
