    There's been a huge rash of eye-opening and thought-provoking articles recently,
    which I haven't been able to fit into other posts, and which have been building
    up on my tabs bar. So I figured I would wash them all through a single post
    dedicated to compiling these latest signals from the Western elites as to their
    thoughts on how the conflict is changing.

    And certainly, judging by these recent issues, the tone and sentiment is
    shifting drastically. One can hardly find a single piece still optimistic for
    the Ukrainian side, apart from the disingenuous lot who continue hyper-focusing
    on tiny minutiae, like some irrelevant Ukrainian drone strike on a Russian
    building in Krasnodar, which might've damaged the corner of the roof's eaves.

    So, let's start and see what the Western, NATO, pro-Imperial cognoscenti and
    literati have to say about the war's drifting direction:
    First on the menu is 1945's gut-blasting, ego-draining headline:
    Sad Reality: The Ukraine War Is Now Going Russia's Way

    This article is penned by Daniel L. Davis, "a Senior Fellow for Defense
    Priorities and a former Lt. Col. in the U.S. Army who deployed into combat zones
    four times."

    It includes such gems as the following:
    Where they lament that Ukraine has definitely lost far more casualties to
    Russia's 10:1 artillery superiority.

    The article shrewdly points out that much of the West's cheerleading continues
    to be premised on outdated perceptions of what is now a much-changed conflict:
