It is becoming more clear as the autumn days grow shorter and cooler that NATO / Washington's proxy war in Ukraine is lost. While some reports in war - worshipping, globalist supporting news organs like The Daily Telegraph and the New York Times are sticking to the 'Ukraine is winning, Zelensky has outplayed the Russians,' narrative even those organisations are tentatively starting to admit that Ukraine isn its knees, old men, past retirement age and young boys who should still be in school are being sent to fight on the front lines, the Ukrainian military are trashing western high tech weaponry faster than the US, UK and EU can ship it out to them and the far right government in Kiev are burning through money faster than the central banks can print it.

Yet even though mainstream news is staring to accept that Ukraine is a lost cause, (but still stopping short of admitting the war was deliberately provoked by the USA and NATO actions dating back to the CIA engineered coup of 2014 which put a neo Nazi administration in power in Kiev and then began moves to fast track NATO membership for Ukraine.

 Sane minds must now, belatedly, put a stop to this war, because Zelensky won’t. Trying to talk to Zelensky, is like trying to persuade a mad dog to stop its frenzy. Stop feeding him - and if that doesn't work shoot the fucker. The longer the war goes on the worse the outcome will be for the Ukraine, fighting to the last man is not a good plan. he longer the war goes on the worse it will be for the Ukraine, fighting to the last man is not a good plan. In spite of all this the armchair generals in the west are still calling for more modern and more lethal weapons to be given to Ukraine and the lunatics in Kiev so that, with their ground forces crushed and no longer capable of giving battle, they seek aircraft and long range missiles to enable them to strike deep inside Russian territory. 

The only effect of that would be to brink down a disproportionate blitzkrieg on the unfortunate people of Ukraine, something which so far Russia has declined to do.

It is fashionable among the armchair generals to compare Russia to WW2 Germany, which only shows they are ignorant of history. When asked if they believe the Germans unilaterally withdrew from France, Poland and Belgium, and allowed Sudetenland and Austria to peacefully separate they will ask what that has to do with anything.

TThe answer is that if they do not it shows their comparisons are invalid because that’s what Russia did in 1991. When the Soviet Union disintegrated Russia agreed with the USA and NATO that allow the former Soviet republics to go their own way on condition that those states were not recruited into NATO so that american troops and missiles could be placed on Russia's borders.

That concession and the vrbal undertaking given by President Clinton to abaide by Moscow's condition was followed by a continuous eastward creep by the US / NATO until eventually official moves were made to admit Ukraine to NATO which would have opened the possibility of US missiles and troops along Russia's borders from the Arctic to the Caucasus.

Ukraine is not fighting for its homelandas the armchair generals like to claim – it is fighting for the right to threaten Russia and subjugate the Russian speaking minorities of Donbass who clearly want nothing to do with anti - Russian extremists in Kiev.

Rather than parrotting the worn out British Bulldog circa 1940 tropes from the comfort their sofas and calling for escalation of the conflict so that thy can continue to pontificate about evil Russian and encouraging 'brave little Ukraine' to fight to the last man woman or child while they themselves sit in the confort of their homes fifteen hundred miles drom where the bullets are flying and the artillery shells and missiles are dropping. 

What is noticable about the armchair generals is that they will not or more likely cannot, counter or refute the points raised by those of us who argue for peace and call on our governments to stop arming and funding Zelensky, this forcing his neo - Nazi bosses to the negotiating table.

There is not, nor was there ever, any reasonable prospect for Ukraine, or indeed Europe/NATO, to prevail in a war of attrition with a country that is not only the most self sufficient on the planet, has the lowest external debt in the developed world, has the agricultural and mineral resources and the commercial and industrial base to supply itself and beyond the Europe / North America bloc does not lack friends and trading partners. Russia's economy, despite confident predictions of total collapse by the armchair generals when in their armchair economist role, has withstood the west's sanctions (which backfired on the nations that imposed they, because many were dependent oil and gas imported from Russia,) and now exceeds that of Germany in PPP. The Russian mindset has always been nationalistic to the point of paranoia and feeling itself vulnerable because of its thousand of miles of borders with potentially hostile neighbours, sees the issue of NATO recruiting Ukraine, followed by Georgia and then Kazakhstan as an existential threat and will therefore not – ever – capitulate.

 And yet whatever the politicians and media talking heads in Washington, London and the capital cities of Europe say it is a plain, documented fact that Russia tried to resolve/end the war in Istanbul on terms that, against what unfolded next, seem eminently reasonable and humane. But, no. The West took a bet that Russia and its economy would “fold” if Ukraine was enabled to prolong the war. Many people with a sense of history, warned that this was hubris. They have been proven right – in spades and at the costs of God knows how many Ukrainian and Russian lives. All so preventable.

 NATO General Secretary Stoltenberg recently admitted, after 2 years of denial and prevarication (and publicly to boot), that the trigger for Russia’s decision to start the “SMO” was in fact – and specifically – NATOs rejection of a draft agreement not to follow through with expansion into Ukraine?

The Kremlin wants above all, a neutral, NATO free Ukraine, the Russians do not want to colonise Ukraine, they have more than enough territory already. The security of its southern border is and was the main reason for Russia's direct engagement in a civil war that started in 2014 because America would not listen, rather than acknowledge that Ukraine in NATO was the final straw for RUSSIA, after having pushed NATO into countries along its borders since 1991, they carried on as usual ignoring reality and being arrogant and aggressive.

You only have to look at a map of Europe to see where all those NATO bases are situated: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania. America has NATO bases in 850 locations in the world against something like 80 for Russia. Tell me then who is the aggressor, which country is always seeking conflict somewhere? Where are all the companies that make vast amounts of dollars out of more and more military hardware. You know the answer. It is not Russia.

Germany haemorrhaging cash to keep country running on as ‘net zero’ becomes zeroeconomic activity
Germany was so desperate to achieve 'net zero' CO2 emissions that for years the country's government closed its fossil fuel-fired and nuclear power plants,replacing those plants with wind and solar power — as well as impoorting huge volumes of natural gas and oil from Russia. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, when NATO (aka the U.S.A.) mandated that the West impose retaliatory sanctions on Russia, including a ban on importation of Russian gas and oil, Germany found itself in a hole:

The UK government is putting plans together for days of organised blackouts this winter, in what they call a "reasonable worst-case scenario" for energy shortages, according to reports in manstream media.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.
