Sunday
There is some talk in the news (no, not the worse than useless mainstream news) about N.A.T.O. troops entering the Ukraine conflict. Polish and Baltic states’ troops are deemed the most likely.
How will this help? N.A.T.O., including the U.S. and U.K., no longer have enough munitions or equipment for military adventures. They donated significant chunks of their inventory to Ukraine, which promptly lost it in battle or sold it.
Russia is content to continue destroying Ukraine troops and equipment at their leisure.
It must be beyond doubt that if N.A.T.O. really did begin to plan boots on the ground, the Russians would move on Kiev in days.
Having to administer the whole country would be a pain in the arse for Russia, but obviously they would do that rather than have a N.A.T.O. presence in Ukraine, even for 5mins.
N.A.T.O. (read the U.S. and U.K.) are on a hiding to nothing. I am reminded of the old saw ‘If you’re in a hole, stop digging.’ The U.S. and U.K. have created a terrible situation and, at each and every step, have continued to make it worse and worse.
Western Europe has willingly destroyed itself, the U.K. and U.S. are not far behind.
Everyone should hope that they have enough remaining sense to back down. Hundreds of thousands of young Ukraine men have already died for no good reason whatsoever. The population of Ukraine has been reduced from 44m to less than 20m. The quick have fled, the slow are dead.
There will be a day of reckoning for Zelensky.
