Peter Frankopan, Spectator: Is Putin winning? The world order is changing in his favour
‘This is not about Ukraine at all, but the world order,’ said Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, a month after the invasion. ‘The unipolar world is irretrievably receding into the past … A multi-polar world is being born.’ The US is no longer the world’s policeman, in other words – a message that resonates in countries that have long been suspicious of American power. The West’s core coalition may remain solid, but it has failed to win over many of the countries that refused to pick sides. Moscow’s diplomatic mission to build ties and hone a narrative over the past decade has paid dividends.
Look at Africa. In March last year, 25 African states out of 54 abstained or didn’t vote in a UN motion condemning the invasion, despite huge pressure from western powers. Their refusal to side clearly with Ukraine was testament to Russia’s ongoing diplomatic efforts in the developing world.

WNU Editor: The Spectator is as pro-Ukraine as you can get. But this Spectator post is as bleak as you can get on Ukraine.
In the meantime some in the West continue to be optimistic .... Putin Can’t Win: New Western Insights Show Russia Won’t Claim Victory in Ukraine (US News and World Report).
They're simply pointing out what us supposed Russian propagandists told you was going to happen a year ago.

ReplyDeleteNeighbor?? … sad excuse for an army Russia has
Well to be fair his neighbor isn’t necessarily small, they have no shortage in manpower with the will to fight and are being trained by western countries, and Russia is essentially fighting a direct war with America and nato and are up against a highly trained and highly mobile battles hardened army with advanced weaponry and either matches or out performs Russians arsenal!!

even the presentation of this article is part of the narrate. You have to ask the question, why is this type of article even being headlined? The writing and publishing of this article Is BS.
The press has shown they have no idea on what is happening on the Battle field or the Political arena.
This is a pure NATO narrative. Where is a article of the last 6 months saying
"Is zelinski losing? no you will not see it.
This is complete 100% Bull shit
Work on your english Vlad
