Good take on contemporary affairs G.K.

As for the Minsk revelations, it is not conceivable that the Russian Government did not know the true purpose of that process as being to buy time and so arm and train the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU). It suited them, for the historical record, to act in accordance with formal arrangements while preparing for this SMO, intended to also attrit the EU and NATO and bring about their dissolution.

____________

The Grand Strategy, for the US-NATO-UK to run a Proxy War against Russia, to bring down the Russian Government and seize resources, over the lives of the poor Ukrainians, has failed. The longest of the long Longshots, in truth their best shot - pitching the largest and most well trained armed forces in Europe, the AFU, against an allegedly inferior Russian Armed Forces is leading to the demilitarization of The Ukraine and so the complete opposite of stated objectives.

Judgment shall be by outcomes. Expect several hundred thousand AFU deaths.

____________

These matters and others, G.K., examined from a contemporary, strategic standpoint.

But be warned. Long reads and abstruse prose. One will come out looking visibly older, perhaps even wiser although that is entirely speculative . . . https://les7eb.substack.com

These things we work on work to undermine language. Glad we can publish despite those pesky red lines. I have the same issue with words like Corporatocracy. Something to be said for dogged determination. Keep those words flying.
