Berletic: Western Volunteer in Bakhmut Admits Ukraine is Losing + is the Western Tank Card a Bluff?
Posted by sashimi on January 30, 2023, 1:32 pm
Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for January 30, 2023:
* Russian forces continue encircling Bakhmut in the east and pushing toward Vugladar in the south;
* pro-Ukrainian Western volunteers admit the bleak situation Ukraine faces overall and specifically in Bakhmut;
* one volunteer admits that Wagner is better trained, better equipped, better organized and lead than Ukrainian forces fighting in Bakhmut;
* this volunteers admits Wagner is surrounding and may possibly cut of Bakhmut like in Mariupol;
* this volunteer admits Ukraine suffers from immense corruption and incompetence coupled with Western sponsors indifferent to their growing crisis;
* this volunteer admits that tanks are a "secret acknowledgement that things aren't going well;"
* the volunteer would like to see more Western advisors leading Ukrainian units in battle, a slippery slope toward direct NATO intervention;
* growing skepticism continues to surround pledged Western main battle tanks;
* US policy makers appear to suggest this strategy may be essentially a bluff to convince Russia it is more prepared than Moscow for a long-term conflict;

The "bluff" that Berletic talks about surely is as much directed to Europe as it is to Russia? The murderous cynicism of the US to its own allies, to the whole of Europe is staggering. But why would we be surprised when Victoria Nuland told us in 2014 what the US policy to Europe would be with her "Fxxk Europe". But even more staggering is the European suicidal prostration to the US. What power does the US actually possess here, it seems almost as if the US has successfully hypnotised the entire European leadership. In the UK in particular, not a single MP In the whole house willing or able to counter the sending of weapons and tanks to Ukraine, that Starmer can, and does command, his MPs to total subservience to the murderous organisation that NATO has become. That even that faint flicker of dissent is so ruthlessly and successfully suppressed. It's beyond understanding. The blowing up of the gas pipeline, all the leadership will know by now who did it, but not a single peep or leak from the governments of Europe and the EU. Amazing.

"To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal."
