I think the Western establishment is so deluded that they really believed the counter offensive would be a success. Their self grandiosity does not allow them to self reflect or think critically of their limitations in the economic and military sphere. They are stuck in a state of denial the likes of which I have never seen. After all, they were sternly convinced the sanctions would level Russia in a matter of weeks when realists clearly warned against such foolishness at the time.

Russia is still a backwards authoritarian shit hole that will lose the war, according to these people who are utterly detached from reality. Just because these people are rich and powerful does not mean they are sensible and or intelligent. More often than not they are narcissistic self absorbed opportunists who swindled themselves into high places with no real skills to show for. I mean just look at the German government is total joke FFS.

To your point I don't think this was a planned depopulation campaign from the jump but the Kiev scumbags definitively do not care about how many lives they destroy as long as the Western imperialists are lining their pockets with cash. And of course, for the banking elite this is a much welcomed side effect for the reasons you stated in your post.

> Russia is still a backwards authoritarian shit hole

I've lived half my life in the U.S. and Germany, and half in Russia. We still have more freedom in Russia than westerners do in their countries. And we probably have a more democratic country as well.

Just to clarify: This is how I see it as well. The political elite and the brainwashed masses in the West see that way.

I agree. I lived in Russia 6 years. The people are honest, hardworking, educated Christians. The infrastructure is excellent and the architecture unsurpassed.

It’s way above the woke American world.

Do you really think the West thought the Ukrainians could beat the Russians in land war in Asia on their borders against the biggest nuclear power in the world? Perhaps if economic sanctions had worked, but not militarily. They actually think that war can be won by words, insults, hatred, and racism (Orcs).

Yes they did and probably still think that Russia is a weak barbaric backwater. They've held this perception for over a thousand years. Every time they attempted to conquer Russia they got their faces stomped in. It's not any different this time. If you want to learn more about the deranged globalist mindset about Russia read a book from Timothy Snyder Anne Applebaum or Orlando Figues.

It's clear that they covet the resources of Ukraine, and want its people in debt slavery or dead, with the third world filling in as a labor force as needed. If they had it their way, their would be nothing left of that country but yet another globalized shithole. And that's the terrible irony of Ukraine: if they lose the war, they win; if they win the war, they lose. Conquest by Russia would spare them of the terrible fate outlined above, and their people and traditions would be preserved.

As for their tenuous grasp on reality, it's entirely possible that they believe their own propaganda at this point. They've gone all out, fabricating "Russian failure", "poor performance" "lack of logistics & morale" "200k+ losses" and so on, conjuring up an entire simulacrum (ie false reality) in the media. Of course, none of this ever happened, and a fair amount of it is more accurate to the Ukrainian side. Still, it's fascinating to see this information war play out, while noticing all the holes the brainwashed can't seem to see (eg stable Ruble, success in Syria, Ukraine's endless demand for support despite "winning", a complete lack of footage of this supposed patheticness, and so on). I look forward to the collapse of their hubristic delusions. Z

Former analysts like Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern have alluded to many times that the intelligence agencies consistently mislead the politicians by feeding them information favorable to their political standing. Telling the truth is rocking the boat which is detrimental to their respective careers. Combine that with their maniacal superiority complex of being the indispensable nation and you have complete cognitive dissonance. This war has turned from a regime change attempt to an existential war over the control for the world's resources for the West.

To your point I do not doubt this and I believe the Rothchilds of the world are fully in on this and have exactly these objectives in mind. They have no investments in Russia and Ukraine and want nothing more than to absorb into their portfolios. Gladly, not going to happen though.
