Are you sure that the "leaders" of the CW HAVE any plans? It seems to me, that they have blundered into this war, with a sort of belief that: "It will be alright on the Night" or "We will just play it by ear and make it up as we go along!" Can you discern any coherent strategic thinking from the very start of this op? Insofar as there seems to have been any strategic thinking at all, it seems to have been based on a wildly inaccurate assessment of both the Russian internal situation ("Russia is very weak. One good push and it will collapse.") and of Russia's international relations (We can get all the rest of the World to go along with our sanctions.") and an equally faulty assessment of the feelings of the World outside the CW, towards the USA ("Leave us out of your quarrels, we don't want to be involved.) and crucially, a wild overestimate of the depth of NATO's arsenals and an equally devastating underestimate of the strength and extent of Russian preparedness. From appearing to be "The Greatest and Most Powerful Military Machine ever Assembled on the Face of the Earth" to looking like a "Paper-Tiger", took just a few weeks! Still today as I write, Ukraine is bleeding out the arsenals of the CW and nobody seems to have a strategy to stop it or even so much as a tactic to slow it down, never mind how to repair the reputational damage or to restock the weapons stores in a reasonable time. In fact, were the West to try to do the latter, could it overcome its reliance on Russia and China for so many of the required raw material inputs?. Not in any reasonable time-frame, i would guess. Thank you so much for all your hard work, chasing down and making available to me, news that I would never otherwise hear about! A Very Happy and Peaceful New Year to You and Your Family!
