NATO letting Ukriane die, not by a thousand cuts...but by a thousand drones
NATO letting Ukraine die, not by a thousand cuts...but by a thousand drones
The thousands drones NATO is squandering their desperately needed treasure on to give Ukraine to fire wildly into Russia have backfired spectacularly.
The drones have no strategic value on Ukraine's war prospects. The are mere pinpricks having no effect on the inevitable Russian victory on the battlefield. But they have enraged the Russian populous and leadership to ramp up the destruction of Ukraine's economy and infrastructure which will speed up Ukraine's collapse.
Foremost in this campaign in closing off Ukraine's access to the Black Sea and other ports greatly shutting down vital exports and imports, the lifeblood of the Ukraine economy. Energy facilities thruout Ukraine are being targeted in daily attacks that unlike Ukraine's scattershot drone strikes, strategically cripple Ukraine life. Ukraine has no defensive missiles to shoot down incoming Russian drones and missiles with none forthcoming from either Europe or the US.
Virtually none of this gets reported in Western media. Most reporting touts NATO supplied Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia as evidence Ukraine is still in the fight. Utter nonsense.
NATO leaders brag how they're bringing the war home to Russia and that Ukraine can prevail. They are locked into a a long history of Russophobia they cannot not shake regardless of how their war support is hurting their economies and alienating their constituencies. Their facing a lost cause in Ukraine, bankruptcy at home and electoral defeat.
The UK's Keir Starmer has already been pushed out. But his successor Andy Burnham hasn't got the clear message. After Russia's Putin warned the UK of consequences for Britain providing Ukraine with drones fired into Russia, Burnham replied "London will continue to support Ukraine 100%. We are not fair-weather friends, we will be there in Ukraine's hour of need and that won't change."
Neither the UK's Burnham, France's Macron nor Germany's Merz are friends of Ukraine, fair- weather or otherwise. They've spent the last 12 years promoting war between Ukraine and Russia that has left Ukraine a shell of its former self.
How? By supporting the 2014 coup that ousted Russian leaning Ukraine President Victory Yanukovych. By promoting the Minsk I and II Accords in 2014 and 2015 that lulled Russia into believing NATO was going to provide regional autonomy for Russian leaning Donbas Ukrainians when it was simply a ruse to build up Ukrainian forces to crush the Donbas Ukrainians. By conspiring with the US to goad Russia into invading Ukraine in February 2022 by refusing to address Russia's valid security concerns regarding NATO expansion to Russia's borders in Ukraine.
And when Ukraine does collapse, possibly as early as this year, NATO countries will be left with nothing to show but greatly weakened economies and inroads from right wing governments sick of squandering critically needed domestic treasure on senseless, lost foreign causes. NATO leaders can ponder forever their descent into madness that destroyed Ukraine for nothing but their hatred for Russia.
