If only they could get their hands on a new supply, somewhere close, South America perhaps, who knows?
Putin keeps attracting more criticism from within Russia as many are getting annoyed with his continued pussy footing in the face of insults and threats from Zelensky and Trump and European leaders.
Not sure what the fuss is about myself. If you’re in an endurance race with just one other competitor and you are approaching the finish line and leading by a mile, then they and their supporters from the grandstand start shouting abuse and threats to put you off your stride.
Do you really stop running and start a punch up on the track, and then jump into the grandstand and start punching out some supporters? Or do you just carry on winning?
But Putin really might have to do something if the west really did fire UK storm shadow missiles at a chemical plant in Russia proper. He did say that was a red line and may need to honour it if the investigation shows the UK did fire their missiles at Russia. Zelensky says they did but Zelensky is a perpetual liar.
Increasing talk of an eventual war in Europe between NATO and Russia. Talk that says ‘Russia is coming’, but why? What has western Europe got that Russia needs or wants? Nothing. As Martin Armstrong says, the first thing the Europeans would say to a conquering Russian army would be ‘oh, so you’re going to pay our pensions now, good’.
On the other hand many are saying that western Europe in its current state of continuing decline may actually need a war with … well anyone available really.
Europe could do with a ‘rally round the flag’ excuse to increase civil controls and kick start industrial production.
Well worth a watch is the short vid below on Banks in wars focusing on WW1. US banks versus German Austrian Hapsberg banks. The US had to join the war in the end to make sure their banks won.
The countries of the winning side had to start repaying all the loans taken out to pay for the war while the losing side defaulted destroying their banks, but then needed to take out fresh loans with the winning side’s banks to pay the massive reparations bill.
The US bank loans to Germany to pay reparations took until 2010 to pay off. 92 years to pay for a 4 year war.
British debt to US banks to fight the war took until 2006 to pay off, France 2009, etc, etc.
Western Europe has amassed huge debt for the war in Ukraine on top of already being in huge debt (same as pre-WW1). The play was for a handsome payoff once Putin was toppled and a western friendly govt was installed giving favourable contracts to the west to harvest Russia’s natural resources.
But now what? Giving up doesn’t seem to be an option for Europe as it could only lead to total bankruptcy.
Meanwhile about the battlefronts, even pro-Ukrainian accounts can’t pretend any longer that the Ukrainian war maps are not faked.
