Russia, Ukraine and the West

Ukraine is starting to look like all the other countries the U.S. helped

The strikes last night may have been the knockout blow to the Ukrainian grid. Ukrainian telegram channels are reporting total outages or emergency shutdowns in 11 Oblasts, claiming that the repairs may take weeks. Kharkov Oblast is wrecked right now - total blackouts and virtually no internet connectivity.

COMMANDER OF UKRAINE FORCES IMPLIES HE’LL BE FORCED TO DO A MANNERHEIM SURRENDER TO RUSSIA WITHOUT EXTREME WESTERN ESCALATION IN ECONOMIST INTERVIEW

MANNERHEIM*, Finish surrender

"Ukraine reportedly has 16 brigades on the Bakhmut front. If true, this genuinely is turning into another Verdun or Aleppo. Murderous carnage."

More and more sources are suggesting that the Ukrainian’s are throwing everything that they have at Bakhmut, this seems to contradict their earlier messaging that Bakhmut is of little strategic importance.

Some independent commentators are claiming that Ukraine is losing up to 8 fighters per one Russian loss in the Bakhmut meat-grinder.

It appears that the Russian strategy is to position their forces close enough to Bakhmut to illicit an Ukrainian response to defend territory whilst Russia controls the battle space with relentless and withering artillery fire thus keeping it’s own forces at a safe distance from return fire.

This will probably go down as the last stand for Ukraine as a common belief is that Ukrainian losses are so great now that they are down to their last 200K troops and many of them are just raw recruits.

I wonder how they're gonna feel about USA's agenda when all this is put to an end. I note Zeleno is going to use Blackrock for the rebuilding of the nation. It's getting real sad now.

I saw a comment somewhere recently that said Ukraine is starting to look like every other country that the USA has ‘supported’…

The USA doesn’t mind all the virtue signaling about democracy, human rights and anti-corruption in foreign lands but seems to destroy states in the process to the point of total dysfunction and economic ruin only to send in their US corporations to do the ‘rebuilding’ - make a shitload of money by pilfering natural resources and then sailing off into the sunset to leave the natives to an even more diabolical future.

Under the assumption of zero conscience, it is a brilliant plan to be honest. Why stop at your own country? Just mess up other nations and then profit from picking up the pieces.

I had also seen the same comment somewhere on Twitter, was the point I was trying to make.
