Ukraine Is Losing The War With Russia. They May Take The U.S. Down With Them

We’ve written extensively about two facets of the War in Ukraine that you don’t hear from legacy media in the United States or the UK.

The first is that Russia is actually winning the war. U.S. outlets such as the New York Times (a channel for the State Department) and the Washington Post (a channel for the CIA) report endlessly about how Russian plans have failed, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have pushed back Russians in the Donbass, and how NATO weapons such as U.S. Abrams tanks, UK Challenger tanks and German Leopard tanks will turn the tide against Russia soon. This is all nonsense.

Ukrainian advances were against lightly defended positions that the Russians quickly conceded to conserve forces. The tanks have not been delivered yet and won’t be for months or longer. When the tanks arrive, they will quickly be destroyed by Russian artillery, anti-tank weapons and precision missiles. Meanwhile, Russian forces have encircled Bakhmut after taking Soledar and are now launching a massive offensive. AFU casualties are nearing 500,000 and are increasing at an unsustainable rate.

The second facet not reported in the media is the growing risk of nuclear war. This risk increases with every escalatory step by both sides. The U.S. is the leader in reckless escalation by supplying long-range artillery, Patriot anti-missile batteries, intelligence, surveillance, and now the tanks. Russia has responded in kind and the nuclear fuse is burning fast. Now, as outlined in this article, we can add a new danger.

This is the fact that the U.S. itself may be the biggest loser in the war. As Ukraine disappears, the U.S. will grow desperate. NATO may actually disintegrate. U.S. supplies of weapons and ammunition are dwindling to the point that we may not be able to support other military actions in East Asia if needed.

The situation may quickly devolve into a direct war between the U.S. and Russia rather than a proxy war with Ukraine as a stand-in for the U.S. The American people and investors in particular are not prepared for any of this. They should be. It’s coming.
