RATS ARE LEAVING ZELENSKY'S SINKING SHIP
War is a racket. Study war in depth and the paper-trails of profit are written in blood. Examine the two so-called 'world wars', the slaghterhouses of Vietnam and Iraq, etc. Scratch the surface of legends, propaganda and fake history to behold the sick, secret toll; the ledger of mass graves and massive financial gains. The rich get richer and the poor get dead. Never moreso than in the orgy of mass-murder NATO has staged in Ukraine and blamed on Russia. But the end of this particular repulsive charade has now begun.
There is a special place in hell reserved for the weasel-wordsmiths of Europe and America who sold this butcher's bonanza to the young and gullible alike as a 'war for freedom and democracy'. The trash-talking arms-salesmen who bound the eyes of a generation in blue-and-yellow blindfolds. The doublespeak politicrats who recruited the hard-of-thinking in pursuit of a towering cash-mountain traded for human flesh.
With the inevitability of the (fake) elections looming in the US and UK, the war Ukraine could neither fight nor win is now -very unofficially- lost. Like all NATO tactical withdrawals, this one begins with the public washing of hands. One carefully-worded PR statement at a time, the 'messaging' is morphing. Last year's war-mantra of 'securing Ukrainian victory WHATEVER IT TAKES' seems a far cry from the limp snub uttered by Britain's very own potato-head Defense Secretary Ben Wallace. President Zelensky, he said this weekend, should "show some gratitude" for Britain's efforts in helping Ukraine. Not content with this somewhat snarky aside, he went as far as to suggest Zelbo "needs to understand" the west "is not Amazon" for unlimited weaponry.
Well pardon me, Mr Wallace, but if it's not Amazon for bombs, for over a year it
was certainly Shells R Us and Rockets4Free not to mention TanksUlike and
TopGunTrainerXtreme. Or did I miss something in the rush to flog every
last bit of high-priced killer-kit in Europe that was past its sell-by
date?
Ben himself, however, falls a few shells short of a magazine when it comes to crafting a public image. Enjoying the most high-profile year of his life (courtesy of the Russian invasion) Wallace managed to spend much of 2022 behaving like Ross Kemp let loose in an army-surplus shop.
When he wasn't donning camouflage gear and a helmet, he was waving a (hopefully) unloaded gun at random for the cameras, presumably to compensate for his dearth of actual military achievment. A chocolate soldier of the traditional kind, Wallace endured a private school education in leafy Somerset and cadet training at the Sandhurst Military Academy, prior to serving seven years as a conspicuously junior officer.
According to Wikipedia, the high point of his non-career in the forces came in Northern Ireland, where he 'claimed the patrol he was commanding captured an entire IRA Active Service Unit' -a feat which got young Ben 'mentioned in dispatches'. The word 'claimed' , we see, is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Alas, the Police Service of Northern Ireland rained on Ben's parade, declaring that 'no one arrested as a result of that patrol was prosecuted.' Fans of army urban warfare tactics will be familiar with this concept, whereby you arrest a random bunch of dudes, rough them up a bit and claim them as 'captured terrorists'. Wallace's claim cut little ice with his superiors, it seems, as he quit soldiering soon afterwards, having ascended to the dizzy height of 'captain'.
That's quite mediocre enough, however, to qualify a chap for a seat in the Tory cabinet, and Wallace loyally kissed the ring for Boeing & Raytheon etc. throughout four years and five -oh, I donno, maybe six- Prime Ministers. It's hard to keep score these days. In any event, our heroic Defence Secretary is jacking in his job and won't be standing for re-election : political codespeak for "get out while the going's good old chap, this Ukraine thingy's going belly-up." As Captain Ben learned in Northern Ireland, words are cheap but results are not. [Wallace To Resign: CLICK HERE]
WHERE'S THE MONEY?
Across the pond, where enthusiasm for the Ukraine war is bolstered in the form of lumps of hard cash, everyone in the US government is determined to stand by plucky little Ukraine until their jobs are safe -i.e. December 2023. To put the Ukraine money-laundering Klondyke in perspective, I offer you a rare moment of honesty from a minor American politician which -for obvious reasons- has gone conspicuously unreported by our own glorious mainstream media. Complaining that America's trillion dollar arms budget doesn't seem to be enough, Democrat Ro Khanna observed "we have managed to run out of the ammunition that we give to Ukraine after a year of war."
In a lukewarm request for accountability (the one question you should never ask), Khanna accidentally let slip that "Of the top 15 companies, nine of them are in China, not one in the United States. Where is this money going?" How naked is that statement? American tax dollars are going to China -of all places- to buy ammunition for Ukraine to fire at Russians. Did I mention that war is a racket?
When minnows like the nonentity above find the courage to nibble at the edges of Forever War, you know the show is nearly over. Ukraine is doomed. The fairy-tales of 'territorial gains' and 'counter -offensives' will, of necessity, be dragged out until a new empty suit is installed in the White House and the latest cut-price con-artist puts his feet under the table at number 10 Downing Street. In Ukraine, of course, elections are unnecessary, as Dictator Zelensky has taken the opportunity of his 'national emergency' to effectively erase any political or public opposition to his plans.
Zelensky's days are numbered, nevertheless. His phony unwinnable war is all but finished, and the new regimes in Washington and London will be preparing brand new global catastrophes in the headlong rush to world government. By this time next year Ukraine war updates will be on page seven.
Now, like an oil tanker commencing that 180-degree U-turn that seems to take forever, the good ship NATO is preparing to sail away -as it always does- from the scene of the crime. Leaving behind -as it always does- the ruins of cities, the ripped and stinking battlefields, the misery of a millions and the inevitable long goodbye present of a carpet of cluster bombs. this time, across what was once the most fertile landscape in Europe.
Ye gods, cluster bombs -the gift of mutilation that keeps on giving, long, long after the war itself is over. Ask the amputees of Laos, Fallujah or Yemen -or better still, don't bother, if talking to limbless children upsets you. Even the Guardian newspaper -whose slavering support for NATO's disgraceful proxy war in Ukraine is unflinching- felt the need to remind readers of what these vile munitions actually do:
"Human rights groups say that the use of cluster bombs in populated areas is a violation of international humanitarian law because they cause indiscriminate destruction. Sixty percent of cluster bomb casualties are people injured while undertaking everyday activities, according to Reuters. One third of all recorded cluster munitions casualties are children."
Next year will bring new 'governments' and new crises to thrill the Kemps and Wallaces of all the world. The millions who left Ukraine never to return will be the lucky ones. Those who stayed, fought and died will be remembered as a footnote in the NATO military/industrial war diaries: mission accomplished.
