The best part was when Zelensky met directly with MIC executives. They don't even hide the puppet strings anymore. US taxpayer money goes to Congress, which launders it through Raytheon and Zelensky. 10% for the big guy! All part of the color revolution playbook: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-execute-a-color-revolution

This is an economic war, a war of economic attrition. It isn't over until the fat woman the fat woman (Yellen) sings. Ukraine will dig in and morph like a caterpillar. Can the US afford more debt for infinity?

They're selling post cards of the hanging

They're painting the passports brown

The beauty parlors are filled with sailors

The circus is in town.

Here comes the blind commissioner

They've got him in a trance

One hand is tied to the tight rope walker

The other is in his pants

And the riot squad they're restless

They need somewhere to go

As lady and I look out tonight on

Desolation Row.

I just can't wait to see all the accountability for the US money spent in Ukraine, I'm sure every dime was well allocated.

As an American, I can tell you the Republicans will do absolutely anything the deep state tells them to do.

So if they're playing hardball with Zelensky, it's a sign the US govt is shifting its priorities.

We all know that people in Congress don't make any serious decisions.

Good info I’m just not sure there was a clear point to it.

If there was, what is it?

Wooh! Arestovich understands Neoliberalism very well and described how part of it dysfunctions.

Actually, it amounts to a confession and testimony to the fraudulent MICC, the last C being Congress. With Outlaw US Imperial Brass running the show, I expect the situation to worsen. Earlier at MoA I wrote about the very good possibility that the Ukie Army in its current condition would be incapable of an orderly withdrawal and could easily become a rout--the Red Badge of Courage Moment, a Skedaddle.

No, no! The last time the Z-man was in DC, he PROMISED the swamp he had a super-duper secret plan to take 3 cities back. He didn't mention which or when.

So the plan is to let the Russians take all of Ukraine, and then be given 3 cities back in a super-duper secret deal, like Lvov.

And then Z-man can retire to Florida, with a presidential security package to protect him from his outraged people - well, those who survive him, which probably won't be many anyway.

The obvious question would be will Russia strike these US generals orchestrating the killings of Russian soldiers? Or another red line ignored for fear of escalation?

"the Pentagon is transferring its own generals to Ukraine to takeover the direct management of the war front: "

Surely this changes the self imposed rules Russia has so far followed?

"Ukraine may have to bunker down and defend only the most important cities, while giving up large amounts of non-strategic territory."

They still don't get it, Russia doesn't want territory it wants deNAZification of Jukraine, and the destruction of Ukie military.

Given the total corruption of Zelensky and his claque, I'd be astounded if Ukraine has any actual gold reserves left. Everything is a fabrication with them -- just like it is with the Biden admin.

I have one question about your assertion that the US may attempt to inflame Europe...so what? You seem to assume that Europe has the capability to actually do something militarily in Ukraine. If so, that assumption appears to have no connection with reality. Europe, and in fact NATO, has been largely demilitarized and will likely take decades to produce replacements and build largely depleted militaries. Russia is poised to settle this conflict on the field of battle, and I don't see any options for the US and / or Europe to change the course of this conflict conventionally.

"Zelensky’s purpose was to convince them Ukraine is not as corrupt as they all know it to be."

The problem with this is it is all posturing. The Western elite, including Republicans, quite enjoy the fact that there is a western country that is corrupt. They don't like dealing with Africa or Asia due to the culture shock and uncertainty. Having a corrupt western country creates so many opportunities for the western ruling elite to launder taxpayer money [of both countries] into their own pockets.

The west has spent the last 2 or 3 decades systematically dismantling their productive capacity and energy production, and moving it all offshore. Most recently this has been justified using the cult of global warming - financialisation of the economy is far better for the environment because debt has a small carbon footprint.

Even if they build the factories, the manufacturing skills are gone. The empty semiconductor factory looking for workers is testament to that.

A lot of this western analysis, both pro-Ukraine and even weirdly, pro-Russian, hinge on one glaring flaw:

- it discounts Russia completely.

What Russia plans. What Russia wants. What the movements in its politics circles, production, war stance and cultural shifts signal for this war and the world.

But for some reason everyone discusses US and pukeraine's plans and moves like they happen in complete vacuum, and that their success or failure rest only on their innate ability to execute these plans - and not an active adversary that they're brought against.

I don't get it.
