Putin can’t stop the war

 

Europe is re-arming at pace, with the UK at the centre (although struggling). Putin is trapped in the decline of a regime propped up by a war economy which has been crippled otherwise by sanctions. At the same time he is running out of troops and his population of males is growing older and many have fled.

Putin’s inner-circle are likely eying up the next move - and the right wing amongst them believe in the war's necessity for Russian power and expansion.

Not only the headline, but every single word shows just how brilliantly the media have distorted reality — and how wonderfully lost their readers are, stumbling around in the dark!

Meanwhile, the Russian army is practically turning people away , so many volunteers want to fight.

Ukraine, on the other hand, is signing decrees to drag 18-year-olds to the front lines, and if they refuse? Well, no problem, they’re arrested and gently forced to go.

Crimea? Already Russian.

The Donbas oblasts, Donetsk and Luhansk are three-quarters Russian now. So much so that even President Trump, who had other ideas before entering the White House, now gets it: Ukraine has lost the war it started in 2014 and will eventually have to accept whatever terms the Kremlin decides to hand down.

Every time Zelensky throws a tantrum — just like when he rejected the Minsk and Istanbul agreements — Ukraine loses more territory.

That’s the reality. The only one.
