    The lead paragraph is pure projection, making it clear that if this article has any value it’s not in the form of the author’s insights.

      Overall, I’d say that it’s probably the most sober article I’ve seen yet in western mainstream media. It actually acknowledges that Russian army is growing stronger, and that Russia is capable of achieving a military victory. It doesn’t lean on the usual tropes of Russia using meat wave tactics, Russian economy collapsing, and so on. It basically acknowledges that Russia holds all the cards and will be in the position to dictate terms.

        Interesting. Perhaps Trump’s “faction” will be disseminating more info about the reality in Ukraine in order to manufacture support for a “pivot to China”. Or at least ease the policy change by weakening the support for Ukraine.

          I think another big factor here is that they wouldn’t want the dems to pin the collapse in Ukraine on them. So, they have to forcefully establish the fact that the war is already lost out of the gate. I expect we’ll be seeing a sharp change in the narrative happening as a result.
