The dynamic goes as follows. Ukraine, a newcomer to the world of ‘great power politics’, has no clue about the realities and outcomes. This is because Ukraine is currently overseen by a bunch of young upstart dilettantes, merely placed in power by way of one corruption or another—the Zelenskys, Kulebas, Podolyaks, et al. Whether they’re ex-actors or something else, the point is that none of them have any experience or clue about major power politics, the likes of which NATO and the U.S. had to master during the Cold War with the USSR.
Thus, NATO elite, some of whom may still retain a sense of self-preservational realism for what it would take to defeat Russia, know the reality of what they’re saying. Their best weapons have been utterly crushed and ground to dust in the endless steppes once known as the Wild Fields. But the haughty young managerial class upstarts of Ukraine have no such clues. Completely removed from the realities of the battlefield—they actually believe they can bring down the titan.
I can't quite believe it, how the west in cahoots with Ukraine has become such a clueless entity relying entirely on propaganda in the msm. Talk about Alice in Wonderland. Sheesh.
Is it just me who is reminded by this counteroffensive of the LOTR scene where Denethor orders his son Faramir to attempt a suicidal charge to retake Osgiliath?
(With apologies for portraying the Russians as orcs in this analogy.)
