It’s often been argued in the West that the USSR collapsed (without firing a shot) because of the enormous military buildup the US engaged in during the Reagan years which they simply couldn’t match and caused the system to implode. Think the neocons still believe that the same approach will work again if they can keep the pressure on long enough. If Ukraine fails, they’ll just find another “sacrificial lamb” to continue on, Ahab like, until the Russian whale is conquered (and the coffers of the MIC are overflowing with loot). Then on to the Asian Godzilla.

The US is collapsing, just like the USSR collapsed, without firing a shot, from internal greed and corruption. However, the American collapse may be a lot bloodier, because nobody cares about the country or the people.

Exceptionalism is far more a curse if you believe it...

The script writers for "The Theatre of the Absurd" are reaching new lows with this one!

Sending 2000 disbursed troops into an area of 500 sq. kilometres and expecting them to accomplish anything is absurd.

And seeing Ukrainian troops driving around openly in the centre of the largest community (in the middle of the day) without being destroyed by drones, Really questions the existence of defensive forces?

Obviously, our "News sources" (mainstream and alternative) don't have any Facts or Information to offer.

Well Zelensky works in the motion picture industry in Ukraine and the incursion sounds like the same goes for US military advisors on this Ukraines attack on Russia.
