Moon of Alabama: Recognizing The War Is Lost The 'West' Seeks An Exit
U.S. President Joe Biden is in Kiev today to rescue his lunatic project of destroying Russia by proxy war. But there is no good way to do that.
A review of 'western' media shows that the inevitable outcome of the war is now recognized. The only still open alternatives are to risk a large nuclear war or to retreat from 'western' dreams of its permanent hegemony.
Few 'western' officials will admit that the war is lost, that Russia has won in Ukraine. But it has. It had won the war when it successfully trapped the Ukrainian army into a war of attrition.
As the Russian commentator Sacha Rogers writes (in Russian, machine translation):
This war has already been won (moreover, what is most offensive for various "unrecognized geniuses", without their participation and contrary to their foolish ideas of how it should be won). It was won at the moment when, instead of a highly maneuverable war, our General Staff imposed a positional “standing” with an attrition war on the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Strictly by the textbook: Attrition warfare is a military strategy consisting of belligerent attempts to win a war by wearing down the enemy to the point of collapse through continuous losses in personnel and material.
Ukraine has already lost two armies and it is begging for a third one. But the 'West' is unable to deliver it:
Less than a quarter of the modern battle tanks the West has promised to Ukraine are likely to arrive in time to counter an anticipated Russian spring offensive.
Kyiv is expecting its supporters to send up to 320 western tanks in total but estimates suggest barely 50 will reach the front lines by the start of April, prompting concerns they will not be enough to have a substantial impact on the fighting.

WNU Editor: I know in Russia they are preparing for this war to last well into 2024, if not beyond. Is the West that committed? We are going to learn that answer in the coming months.

Maybe the Russians will attack in mass in two to three days.
Joe will be perceived as running away and the Russians will push to the limit. Thereby defeating their enemies and embarrassing NATO.
But then again, maybe not.
I agree. maybe yes. maybe no. see? I was right
Russia has more soldiers and equipment and doesn't worry greatly about losing them. Kinda hard to beat.
If I were a betting man I would reluctantly go with the bear.
* Compare birth rates and family size 1940 and 2021
* There is social media
* Hitler was launching a war of extermination. The Ukrainians are not
* The Ukrainians can draw on an international manpower pool. it seems minor, but the non-Ukrainains are in the thick of it at Bakhmut.
Attrition warfare, similar to how the US forces under General US Grant wore down and defeated the CSA Army under General Robert lee in 1864-65.
why guess? Russia was expected to win what they wanted in two weeks ...now it is a year later.
Leaked document shows how Russia plans to take over Belarus
lol you believed the western media
PRESIDENTS WHEN WITH OTHER LEADERS
To some observers, the strategy confirms what has long been obvious and, at times, openly acknowledged, by both Moscow and Minsk. Rainer Saks, the former head of Estonia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, told Yahoo News that “in the grand scheme of things, this document is no different from what you might think Russia wants from Belarus. Of course, Russia will take control of Belarus, but the question is if it does so at the cost of independence. It is surprising to me why this target — 2030 — is set so far ahead. Why should Russia wait so long?”
“The ‘Union State’ is a threat for the Belarusian people and Belarusian statehood,” said Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya, the Belarusian opposition leader who lives in exile in Lithuania after contesting the last election. “It is not a union of equals. It is a roadmap for the absorption of Belarus by Russia. Since our goal is to return Belarus to the path of democracy, it will be impossible to do so in a Union State with Russia.”
The leaked document also says Zimri Lim blew up the nord stream pipeline. It has stated that Elvis and Jimmy Morrison were involved in Russian campaign influencing in the US.
They also inferred that Joe Biden was in reality a super genius capable of instantaneous thought distribution of quantum physics, in conjunction with dedicated high level reasoning in the area of deductive thinking.
7:49 = 7:50 = 8:00 = 8:30
2000 is usually the old guy's cut off. Now he is missing sleep and running on fumes.
These wannabe Roman Empire jerks are so stupid. they keep playing the same playbook over and over. The whole leaked document thing about Belarus is the domino theory used by the USA to get support for Viet Nam. are us Americans as easily duped now as we were in 1964? I guess we shall see.
These want to rule the world clowns are always accusing everyone else of wanting to rule the world. The Davos crowd is the only group I see doing that. can you imagine the arrogance and lack of self-awareness to tell China not to support Russia in Ukraine while they are supporting Ukraine against Russia. Stunning. Ron
The domino theory was not disproved. Some people think it was disproved, because Thailand did not fall.
The rejoinder is the North Vietnamese were so spent after the long war they do not have the energy to further their jihad.
Because only 3 out 4 fell, you think the domino theory is wrong.
Fell:
1) South Vietnam
2( Laos
3) Cambodia
After spending a decade and a half to subdue South Vietnam they had to digest their meal with pogroms and reeducation camps. they had to repair infrastructure. Three or four years into that they are fighting with Cambodia and China.
If North Vietnam had subdued South Vietnam in the mid 50s maybe with MOMO and lighter casualties they would have swept west before the usual forces fragment the communist movement (or any movement).
When you have MOMO you can get further. People flock to your banner and some others do not put up as much or any resistance. You still fragment in the end, Ask the Mongols.
The Mongols would have taken Egypt and may have snuffed out Islam but for the death of a Khan and the Battle of Ain Julat. The Battle could have gone either way. The Battle certainly would not have gone the Muslim way had the full Mongol Army had been there. the Muslims faced a rump army.
What I see as stunning is Ron's arrogance.
I do not like the Davos crowd either. That does not automatically translate into letting the Russians have their way.
your argument does not speak to me being arrogant, but ignorant. Your conclusion should have said Ron is Ignorant. Ron
Just because dominos form Thailand to India did not fall does not mean the theory is wrong.
EPIC DOMINO FAIL COMPILATION (Vol. 4)
From YouTube a simple concrete example. Physicists might describe the unknows that throw off a sequence such as dominos falling as friction. Friction in relation to South East Asia might be ethnic tensions Laotian/Vietnamese, Cambodian/Vietnamese, Sino-Vietnamese, difficult terrain, bad road nets, force regeneration, digesting conquests, etc.
Bad road nets is an issue. then the Japanese showed us in SE Asia that it does not have to be. Medieval Kingdoms won battle and all but stretched from sea to sea in SE Asia.
Cambodia could go communist again or at least anti-Western. China has not given up on Cambodia. Burma is an ally of China. That has Thailand surrounded on 3 sides with the 4th being the sea and a narrow isthmus that Malaysia wants.
There is more logic out there than Boolean logic such as fuzzy logic.
