Ukraine will lose if the west doesn’t intervene


 

It is difficult to tell which side is winning the war with the massive misinformation campaign being waged in the west.

Ukraine makes up stuff as it goes along posting often complete distortions so one comes to believe they are fighting a field of dreams conflict, relying on the hope if they say it often enough it will come true.

They need to convince the US, EU and others they can hold off the Russians while at the same time pray the west will intervene on their behalf.

This duality suggests they know they are losing and are in desperate need of Devine intervention.

The fact that people are fleeing Ukraine by the millions adds evidence to this.

Yes, they have slowed the Russian advance but at a great cost.

Winning a war is about attrition. The side with the most resources generally wins. The Persian gulf wars also showed control of the air is the ultimate advantage

While Russia is losing as much Ukraine, it has more to lose. And while less motivated than the Ukrainians the sheer number of Russians will eventually overwhelm them even with volunteers from the west.

Although news feeds keep talking about how many Russians have died or surrendered, the fact is Russia has the third largest standing army in the world – about one million regular military and two million in reserves.

News from the west keeps harping about the fact that 100 percent of the troops Russia put on the border are engaged in the conflict in Ukraine, failing to point out that this is but a fraction of the numbers Russia could put into the country at need.

The Russians have degraded the Ukraine military infrastructure. The air force and airfields largely gone.  Nearly 1000 tanks destroyed. Military installations wiped out. While the west sends missiles Ukraine may soon run out of men to shoot them – even with the volunteers coming in to help.

Ukraine talks about the Russian conscripts used, neglecting to point out for the most part Ukrainian males are not allowed to flee the country suggesting they will be forced to fight later.

Since Russian news has been banned on western social media and other sites, we hear almost exclusively the propaganda coming out of Ukraine, much of which is gobbled up by major media as fact when in a large part it is fiction – Ukrainians putting on a happy face – or a lot of fear mongering about nuclear sites. most of it untrue and exaggerated reports of Russians killed or captured but nothing about Ukrainian military casualties most likely as high As those of the Russians with few or any to replace them.

Russians are using long range weapons to reduce loss in men and equipment. The Ukrainians cannot. They have put everything on the line and when it is gone, they have to fill in with what the west ships them. But inch by inch, they are falling back, forced to abandon positions, often shooting from residential places and hospitals which when the Russians fire back, become fodder for the propaganda machine, showing how horrible the Russians are.

Slowly day by day both sides wear each other down, only the Russians have more to work with and those on the ground on both sides know it.

Unless the west intervene, Ukraine loses.
