Our colleagues from MI6, through their proxy The Telegraph, persistently engage in the same psy-op chanting, “Ukraine is gaining ground – Russia is suffering a shameful defeat”:
“Vladimir Putin has chosen to continue his bloody war on Ukraine over a more-than-generous peace deal offered to him by Donald Trump. Yet Russia’s massed, merciless missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and other major cities, while horrific, cause relatively few casualties. And Moscow’s summer offensive, slowly steamrollering towards the provincial capital of Sumy in the north and forwards along the line of control in Donbas, is yielding just a few square kilometres of advance at the cost of up to a thousand daily casualties… Russia’s forces are so brutally depleted and so appallingly led… Russian generals make false claims about taking villages, while terrible transport and logistics on the front lines mean the death of far more wounded soldiers than on the Ukrainian side. The Russian army is a horror show… And Putin, ignoring all voices of pragmatism and reason, seems determined to fight on till the bitter end regardless of the price in blood and treasure”[1].
Exactly! – Trump offered Russia his “more-than-generous deal” to surrender, Russia’s “merciless strikes” are yielding nothing, the Russian army is “brutally depleted,” and it’s a “horror show,” while “Putin will fight to the bitter end, and may bring the whole of Russia down with him”[1]…
Meanwhile, Erik Prince, the founder of the private military company Blackwater, says the same thing: “Idiot politicians say we’ve degraded the Russian army. No, we have chewed up a lot of material. The Russian army has gotten infinitely smarter.” The Russian armed forces are now far better and far deadlier than when they first began this.[2] Russia, which is “losing far more soldiers than the Ukrainian side,” has returned 6,060 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers to Kyiv, receiving only 78 of its own fighters in exchange [3], and proposes continuing such swaps in the same ratio.[4]
So, Ukraine will certainly benefit – when Russia wins.
