“[A]s we know, there are known knowns—there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns—that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”—Donald Rumsfeld, 2002

For the last 2 years CNN have been telling us Russian army is collapsing from a lack of ammo and equipment, now they tell us that actually Russia is out-producing western countries combined by at least 2:1.
For the last 2 years the Economist has been telling us that the Russian economy was a dumpster fire thanks to sanctions, now they tell us that actually the Russian economy is doing fine, inflation is coming down while GDP is at a healthy 4% and raising.
For the last 2 years the politicians have been telling us that the Russian SMO was 'unprovoked', now the NYT tells us that actually the CIA had a string of bases along the Russo-Ukraine border that were continually provoking Russia for years before the SMO.
So why all the honesty all of a sudden?
It's because the US Ukraine project is being wrapped up and written off as a failure and it's time for the US to move on.
Many predicted this, the western world could have saved hundreds of billions of $ and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives had we all just ignored the neocons and their Russian obsession from the start

lil Napoleon Macron to make URGENT address to the nation, presumably to try to keep the killing in Ukraine going for a few more months by adding French troops to the slaughter and try to blackmail the US into coming to save them (they won't).
Macron's speech means among others a kind of warning - private military groups connected with Russia,
such as the Wagner group, are trying to take over France's traditional spheres of influence in Africa.
After WW2, the USSR contributed significantly to the loss of French colonies in Africa.
The year 1812 also has some symbolic significance. Besides, France has always emphasized
its kind of independence in NATO.
