West in 404: Nuke or Kneel

And both options lead to same defeat.. Brian Berletic breaks down the Ukraineโ€™s Manpower Crisis: No Amount of Money or Aid Can Solve It

He uses the US Army’s own [admittedly inadequate] doctrine to explain why the Ukraine is finished in terms of manpower, even if further financing and weapons resupply were possible. They lack the time, especially seasoning top cadre, in order to be combat effective. And the ideal environment in which to train within the Ukraine, already involved and enveloped in the hellscape of war. No place on the Ukraine is safe from Russian stand-off weaponry.

The options confronting the sinking West are bitter indeed: double down into nuclear war, as NATO itself lacks the tools and manpower to halt much less defeat the Russian Armed Forces. Or accept defeat and the end of their centuries-old Hegemony.

More detail from The New Atlas:
๐Ÿ”นUkraine is suffering from a growing military manpower crisis in addition to a lack of arms and ammunition;
๐Ÿ”นTrained military manpower takes up to half a year to produce, new brigade-sized units can take up to 30 months to stand up;
๐Ÿ”นUkraine and its Western sponsors simply cannot produce trained military manpower faster than Russia is removing it from the battlefield;
๐Ÿ”นThis leaves the collective West with the choice of either accepting it has lost its proxy war with Russia, or attempting to intervene more directly;

I think our assessment of the US desperation may be exaggerated. I am persuaded by Greer’s concept in Twilight’s Last Gleaming that the US has never in relevant times “lost” a war. It intrudes and destroys, and when it hits a wall that it can’t knock down, it simply withdraws… Read more »

Dear Grieved.. I hope you’re right. But even a “small” gadget would create within Kremlin and Ruskiefolk “pressure” to act…and they have said that in the instance, they would. Minding that it is a mystery how that response would shape, and what effects it might have on zone fascist. They… Read more »

Ray McGovern generally and also to-day on RT Crosstalk expressed his grave opinion that the fascist zone will “decide” to try to intimidate the Ruskies by detonating a “small” nuclear explosive gadget in, we assume, zone 404. Naturally the zone fascist will try to fob that off as an evil… Read more »
