The West’s latest failed ‘March on Moscow’
After three years, Ukraine has been shredded. Russia is winning the war with an enhanced military, a robust economy, an established and supported leader and a respected position in the world.
In opposition, we have a Europe reeling from sanctions blowback, recessions looming and EU nation states’ leaders falling by the wayside. And so they should, having abandoned Europe’s source of reliable and cheap energy, the energy that fuelled Europe’s economic well-being
NATO is looking like a busted flush.
Nuclear is an option, but given the proven success of Russia’s countering every weapons system supplied to date by the West to Ukraine, is that any kind of a good idea?
