The new and improved domino theory—if Ukraine falls so will Europe—is implausible, to put it charitably, and is being used to try to squeeze more funding for the Ukraine fiasco. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
In a move that would have been unthinkable a year ago, the WEF has formed a discussion panel at their annual Davos conference titled “What If Ukraine Loses?” The panel represents, at the very least, an admission by the globalists that Ukraine could be defeated by Russia despite the deluge of money, armaments and intel assets that Ukraine has been given access to by western governments.
Since 2022, the narrative has shifted from talk of complete victory over Russia including the retaking of the Donbas and even Crimea, to merely holding the current front and keeping a steady supply of ammo and recruits.
The realities on the ground cannot be denied. The long vaunted “counter-offensive” that was supposed to crush Russian forces was a complete failure. No significant ground was gained and no significant victories have been won. It was a considerable propaganda error to hype up the counter-offensive the way Ukraine did, because when it turned out to be a dud all their other claims quickly came under suspicion.
At the end of 2023, the average age of Ukrainian soldiers was older than 40 (compare this to the US where the average age is 27). Rumors out of Ukraine abound that most younger soldiers are dead and that collection teams (government enforcers) now prowl the streets of cities like Kiev. They search for and kidnap any fighting age men they find, only to send them to the front with little or no training.
They will put Criminals In Action man Budenov in place as leader of the 404 because he won’t have any compunction about blowing up nuclear plants and dams to false flag bait Europe into the SMO battles.
If they fear Putin marching on the English Channel then why announce that you are almost out of shells and recruitment?
Also Sweden is approved for NATO admission and they have no memory of the Battle of Poltava because history is a construct of the white male patriarchy.
