Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for February 1, 2023 + US and
its potential war with China by 2025.

* Western media begins preparing public for the fall of Bakhmut;

* Recent Ukrainian losses is being used to call for more weapon shipments to
Ukraine including calls for missiles and jets;

* Arms shipments are being accompanied by calls for arming Ukraine for taking
Crimea;

* A 2013 US government-funded poll found that most people in Crimea identify as
Russian or Crimean (not Ukrainian) and a majority leaned in favor of
associating with Russia, not the EU;

* Announced arms shipments and threats toward Crimea represents the West's
attempt to find leverage over Russia as Ukraine suffers growing setbacks on
the battlefield;

* At the same time, the US appears to be preparing for war with China over
Taiwan;

* The US is out of time in terms of encircling and containing both Russia and
China, forcing it to commit to increasingly reckless policies to achieve its
objectives;
