@Secret Asshole , thoughts?
AHHHAHAHA
Oh, serious thoughts?
*coughs*
Ok, so Ukraine as a nation was always fucked. But here's the thing with proxy wars. The nations financing those wars expect to see an ROI. We're not going to Ukraine out of the goodness of our hearts, despite what some other dumb faggots believe. The problem is in no way shape or form have any nation seen any. Which is why the press is deteriorating in its reporting. It is getting to the point where the press can no longer obfuscate the situation in Ukraine. In fucking MARCH it was reported that Ukraine might not even make gains for the entire year.
We're in the middle of multiple domestic crises and nobody believes Ukraine is important over their own economic interests. Its what you get when you teach a population to be mercenary. Everyone will start plastering Ukrainian flags over their shit until they have to go to a grocery store.
The basic facts are this:
- Sanctions have done nothing but enrich China and slightly slap Russia across the face who then laughs. The consequences on the G7 (formerly G8, to never be again) have been disastrous, with expensive energy killing more people in the EU than COVID, soaring energy and food prices. Russia controls 20% of Ukraine, which is basically 80% of its prosperity, especially with fertalizer. So the pain train on food will not be relieved.
- Western intervention has only slowed Russia, not stopped it or reversed it. The cost for slowing Russia is not worth it and we are rapidly running out of shit to give them. A few F-16s are not going to change anything except some blown up F-16s.
- The sanctions and time have not bled Russia or caused domestic unrest
Ukraine has no choice but to be Baghdad Bob in this scenario and preach absurdities, because the reality of the situation is pretty fucking grim for them. They've had the spotlight focused on them intently, and if they're constantly losing ground, nobody is going to want to support them. The Pentagon's accounting error (a fucking ludicrous statement since the Pentagon couldn't pass an audit to save its fucking life) is just an excuse to throw more money at Ukraine, which is becoming a garbage fire. It lost about 1.5 billion in a week and refuses to instigate an offensive and uses resources for its offensive to take or hold Bakhmut, which for all intents and purposes is in Russian hands.
The fact is they have to say this shit, because the other recourse is saying that their military is shredded and they're slowly bleeding out from being gutshot while only giving Russia superficial wounds. That's not what anyone wants to hear.
The Ukrainian Invasion is bigger than Russia vs Ukraine. The amount of resources the US has linked in with Ukraine, revealed that the whole plan from the beginning in Ukraine was a springboard into deposing Putin, breaking BRICS. And re-asserting the US Dollar as the world reserve currency.
Bakhmut is just the first obvious domino to fall in the breaking of the US hedgmony. And the US threw hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian Men and billions of dollars, into the meat grinder in an attempt to preserve it. They had people in the west cheering for a country they never even heard of before.
Although sometimes I wonder, if this wasn't done on purpose. The bankrupting of the US Government, the open south border etc.... I wonder if the IMF and Central bank have decided to shift focus towards China, and what we're watching is the controlled demolition of the US.
Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity. The CIA has consitently wanted to shift to China, but hasn't been allowed to do so at all. In fact, there was an early CIA plan to let Russia just have 20+% of Ukraine and swivel to China, but this was rejected, probably due to Boris Johnson opening his dumbfuck anglo mouth (though seeing the Brits DU gift getting exploded was fucking *chef's kiss* beautiful)
Most of our legislature and leaders belong in an old age home. Our eleties mind's are soup and think they are God-Kings and used to throwing their weight around and people listening. Its not a controlled demolition, it is the past half-century of post-WWII foreign policy coming home to roost. Reserve currencies are not forever. Hegemonies are not forever. The thing is the IMF and Central Banks lose if the dollar loses. All of this relies on Western Hegemony, which is not in the interests of those exploited by the West (Africa, SA, India, China, the ME...basically 50+% of the planet).
Without US power projection, these things all fail. What happened when corpos pulled out of Russia? Russia just took their shit. You think in the future if some country defaults and vulture capitalists try to take their shit, a country will just allow that to happen without US military backing? Fuck no, I'd laugh in your face and just take all of your stuff. Without power projection, that's what happens.
The death of the dollar is the death of global capitalism. Its the death of neo-liberalism. It will create a lot of pain, but this fucking sick, depraved way of life needs to end. The absurdist pursuit of capital needs to fucking croak. It sucks we have to live through End of Empire, but its better than dying a slow death by poverty, which is what the elites want.
