America's funded war by militarizing Ukraine against Russia
richwicks says
it's WELL KNOWN he's sold out to the intelligence agencies years ago.
Except the Mockingbird MSM fake news intel agency press would want us to believe that Ukraine is WINNING!
The Satanic opposite of reality, as usual.

How? By providing 160 Javelin tubes under Trump admin (and bunch of blankets under Obiden)? This is silly.
The goal is simple, inflict as much damage onto Russia as possible. So that Russia has to borrow money from Rothchilds.

Before the invasion of Ukraine, it was by no means certain that there would be a united response from the West. The sanctions imposed on Russia after Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 were fairly limited, especially from the European Union. Germany pressed on with the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Russia. But now, America, Europe and much of Asia have been united in applying severe sanctions against Russian banks, companies and oligarchs. Three months on, it’s time to ask: are the sanctions working?
The answer from the Bank of Russia’s balance of payment data for January to April isn’t reassuring. It showed that the sanctions are emphatically not working, at least not in the way that they were intended. Russia’s current account surplus (roughly speaking: ...
Is that a surprise?
Russia may be sending grain to Europe this time next year.
Information warfare has been thrust to the forefront of strategic analyses and conversation surrounding the war in Ukraine, with many experts hailing the efforts of the Ukrainian government’s use of propaganda to garner international support and boost Ukrainian nationalism.
Consider the Ghost of Kyiv, a supposed Ukrainian fighter pilot notorious for shooting down Russian planes. The Ghost quickly became an internet sensation, bolstered by official Ukrainian social media accounts, and a symbol of Ukrainian strength and resiliency when facing a much stronger Russian military foe. That’s all well and good, but it should be noted that the pilot wasn’t real.
Ukrainian Air Force officials admitted May 1, two months into the invasion, that the Ghost of Kyiv was just a myth. But that icon, similar to the story pushed and initially verified by the Ukrainian government about the defenders of Snake Island all dying in defiance of a Russian warship’s order to surrender, has arguably been one of the greatest boons to the Ukrainians’ fight against Russia.
Both “urban legends” were pushed as part of Ukraine’s information warfare campaign, a campaign so successful that researcher Sinan Aral wrote in an article for the Washington Post that, “Ukraine and its partisans are running circles around Putin and his propagandists in the battle for hearts and minds, both in Ukraine and abroad.”

Three months into this war, Ukraine is ravaged. Russia controls major parts of E. Ukraine. Russia's oil profits are higher than ever. Ruble is strong. Much of the world rejected US/NATO policy. Billions in US funds: gone, who knows where. Untraced weapons are flooding the region.
The problem from the start was the obligatory moralism narrative didn't help decipher what policies would and wouldn't work. And that was as intended: there was so much to debate and question about US policy, but it was barred. Anyone who tried was maligned as a Russian stooge.
Anyone who suggested the sanctions regime would cause this was immediately dismissed as a Kremlin apologist or asset -- true for any questioning of the instant US/NATO consensus on this war.
This is what always happens with sanctions. These tactics were designed to quash debate:

NEW: Some Biden officials privately express concern that rather than dissuade the Kremlin as intended, US sanctions have instead exacerbated inflation, worsened food insecurity and punished ordinary Russians more than Putin or his allies
You mean, the grain that they STOLE and ARE STEALING from Ukraine, right? Is this the grain to which you refer?
When you say "sending" you actually mean "SELLING", right? Is this what you mean?
Just being clear for the benefit of those vulnerable to "word-thinking".
See, you should work harder on your definitions. As of now, they are very, VERY misleading.

Did you notice no more stories lately of "Russian atrocities in Ukraine?" They all turned out to be fakes or lies. Even Bucha -- appears to have been masterminded by the Brits!
But you probably didn't notice that US and NATO supplied howitzers have been bombing civilian targets in Donestsk for the past week or so. Yesterday they hit a maternity hospital. Shocking! War Crime! No -- SILENCE. That's because the Western mass media is ignoring it.
This is how the maternity hospital in Donetsk, which was shelled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine yesterday, looks like now.

SILENCE. That's because the Western mass media is ignoring it.
He then accused the BBC of not uncovering the truth of what had been happening to civilians in separatist-held areas of eastern Ukraine, "when civilians were being bombed by Kyiv's troops for eight years".
I stressed that over the course of six years, the BBC had many times contacted the leadership in the separatist-run areas asking for permission to go and see what was happening. We were refused entry every single time.
Russia has accused Ukraine of genocide. However, in 2021, eight civilians were killed in the rebel-held areas, according to self-proclaimed pro-Russian "officials", and seven the year before. While every death was a tragedy, I said, that did not constitute a genocide.
I suggested that if genocide really had taken place, then the Luhansk and Donetsk separatists would have been interested in us going there. Why were we not let in, I asked.
"I don't know," said Mr Lavrov.
Ceffer says
Russians are preserving infrastructure and providing humanitarian corridors,
CGI! CGI!!! CGI!!!!
can you explain the joke?
Mr Podolyak's suggestion that 100 to 200 Ukrainian soldiers are dying each day is higher than previous estimates. On Thursday, Ukraine's Defence Minister, Oleksii Reznikov, said Ukraine was losing 100 soldiers a day, and 500 more were injured.
The differing casualty figures are a sign of how difficult it is to get precise information from the battlefield.
Far from condemning this behavior, or insisting that Kiev hits the brakes on the fascist behavior, the West continues to embrace the Ukrainian regime as the Current Thing.
Weapons and money continue to flow into the country, and high-ranking western officials, including famous celebrities, continue to align themselves with the troubled government there.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Hollywood celebrity Ben Stiller and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland have visited Ukraine, which we are told is in a day to day fight for its very survival. None were wearing protective gear in an apparent war zone.

Four months into Russia’s Ukraine offensive, President Vladimir Putin conducted his second purge of its high command. Gen. Sergei Vladimirovich Surovkin was moved from the top job in Russia’s air and missile forces to the leadership of the Ukraine command after the sacking of Gen. Aleksander Dubrinikov.
