  6. In a recent article I had mentioned how the Western press and elite commentariat for the first time began using the taboo ‘C’ word, i.e. “Collapse”, for Ukraine. Now this has opened up the floodgates, causing more and more worried publications to begin turning off their previous holding-the-line narrative filter and actually start describing the Ukrainian situation with truthful urgency. The U.S. has already emptied almost its entire store of usable surplus mainline weaponry for Ukraine, i.e. tanks, artillery, light armor—not counting things like ammo. As proof, even Ukraine’s most ardent American supporters have admitted this in the past few days: Yet Ukraine hinges their entire future on this mythologized support as if it’s some kind of instant videogame-like upgrade, a “power-up” that will immediately re-energize and supercharge the AFU—this is simply not the case. High-ranking military officers secretly told Politico under anonymity that: “There’s nothing that can help Ukraine…the West doesn’t have the technologies in sufficient numbers.” Read my lips, it’s quite simple: Ukraine has literally no chance whatsoever to do anything militarily in this war anymore. Ukraine and Zelensky’s only shot at survival is to push Russia into a confrontation with NATO. They are desperately attempting to do this each day by launching mass terror attacks all over Russia. The latest occurred yesterday on Yelabuga, where Ukraine literally crashed a giant Cessna-like plane into a dormitory full of students that they claimed was a drone factory: While Russia is crushing the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ combat potential on the actual battlefield, desperate Zelensky is hiring “ISIS” to massacre Russian civilians, attacking Belgorod highrises with drones and artillery, and is literally loading up Cessnas with bombs and flying them into buildings with African exchange students—that’s the stage his putrid terrorist regime is now at. Ukraine is doing everything in its power to destabilize Russia by stirring discontent within it—even Western rags now admit to the recent rash of ethnic tension being provoked by Ukrainian services: There is a growing understanding across the Western allies that Ukraine is losing the ground war against Russia, and by summer could face defeat. Russia is pounding front lines with artillery, rocket and drone fire — and at over five times the rate the Ukrainian army can reply. Volodymyr Zelensky’s troops are exhausted — after sustaining in some sectors a heavier concentration of incoming artillery than at the Somme in 1916, or the Normandy Bocage after D-Day in 1944. It goes on to sketch the dire situation of the West’s own armaments: So what is it, in particular, that’s got them so terrified lately? Mostly it seems twofold: Russia’s increasingly heavy hand in attacking Ukraine’s power grid, as well as the rumors of a mass spring-summer assault: I ask you: What do you think now? Still believe time is on NATO and Ukraine’s side? It sure doesn’t seem like it these days. I say this as preface to the fact that Russia is slowly taking its time, continuing to build its armaments and potential, and very gradually closing the constrictor squeeze on Ukraine from all sides. Recent rumblings indicate that Ukraine is unable to determine where Russia could choose to strike a more major line-breaking assault due to the nature of Russia’s air strikes not being limited to one particular theater, but destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure in a widespread fashion. Ukraine’s “mechanized” brigades are literally being downgraded to foot soldier meat hordes due to lack of vehicles. Russia made recent progress in the areas west of Bakhmut and are now preparing to launch the assault on Chasov Yar. Here’s a quick before and after look at the Ladyzhenskaya thermal power plant control room, to give an idea the type of damage Russian attacks have done: The first photo may be a stock one for illustrative purposes, but you get the idea; I don’t think that’s being repaired any time soon. - Simplicius
