If Ukrainian collapse is imminent, Biden doesn’t need NATO for a decision to use ‘volunteers’ in rebadged planes

Corporate media have assured us the war’s going well and Ukraine will win. That now looks like disinformation

The much ballyhooed Ukrainian ‘counteroffensive’ is destined to fail its purpose of severing Russia’s supply line to Crimea and to liberate ‘occupied territory’. The Biden administration has finally recognized this and is out to lower expectations and to preemptively blame everyone but itself.

Behind closed doors, the administration worries about what Ukraine can accomplish.

Who even remembers when the First World War was known as “the war to end all wars”?

Just after Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24, 2022, President Biden walked into the East Room of the White House and condemned the invasion with a barrage of adjectives: unprovoked, unjustified, brutal, without cause, premeditated, unnecessary. One of these quickly rose to prominence. Following Biden’s initial statement, government spokespeople, the mainstream media, professional pundits and many others routinely call the war in Ukraine “unprovoked.”

At the 1-year mark of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, expectations about the final outcome run the gamut from the belief that a definitive Ukrainian victory is imminent to warnings that Russia will ultimately prevail.

With a bleak assessment of Ukraine’s military, US intelligence leaks undermine White House excuses for shunning negotiations with Russia.

If you are like me, you probably expected a quick end to the war in Ukraine in the winter last year when the Russians called up 300,000 reservists with an additional 100,000 volunteers.
