The West’s war on Russia is rapidly approaching its inevitable, predictable and indeed predicted conclusion: the collapse of the Zelensky regime, a decisive victory for Russia and a humiliating defeat for the West. This outcome was obvious from the outset to any objective observer with a modicum of knowledge about the relative size and power of the two nations.
With a population four times the size of its neighbour and the largest nuclear arsenal on earth, the Russian federation was always going to prevail over the Ukrainian regime.
The geostrategists in Washington knew this, but they were willing to sacrifice Ukraine in order to harm and weaken Russia. Clearly their degenerate scheme has failed.
Russia has not been weakened, on the contrary it’s emerged enlarged, empowered and emboldened, while Ukraine’s been wrecked and the West ends up divided, depleted and diminished. This outcome is a testament to the malign intent, delusional analyses and gross incompetence of political leadership in the West, especially in Washington. It represents just the latest in a litany of American military misadventures and foreign policy debacles.
Australia would do well to learn an important lesson from this fiasco.
