Who Will Win the War of Attrition in Ukraine??

(00:00.942)

You know, it doesn’t make me feel comfortable is the fact that I didn’t go to West Point. I go to Naval Academy. and, but again, I like to read and I like to study things. And I watched these various different generals on TV and various pundits out there talking about the war in Ukraine and how it can be won. And from the very beginning, I understood it to be.

a war of attrition and wars of attrition, quite frankly, again, it makes it very difficult for Ukraine to have any shot at all at winning. And that’s been my point from the very beginning when it comes to this. And again, we’ve discussed it here talking about, again, we just had another, you know, $60 billion going over there. We sent more money to Ukraine.

then Russia spends on its entire military. But the reality is, is that if you’re watching what’s going on, and again, you can’t, you cannot, cannot go to sources here in the United States. You can go and you can take a look at them, but you also have to look at various different publications around the globe to get the full scope of what’s really going on over there. And, you know, as it stands, right now, you know, Russia is continuing to overrun

the Ukrainian defenses, many of the narratives and whatnot that have been put out by our media in regards to Russians being killed and when Russia pulled back from the Dantesque region, they were all faulty. It doesn’t matter. It is a war of attrition. And right now, as it stands, the new recruits coming into fight for the Ukraine, their average age is 43 years old. Millions and millions have left Ukraine. I know that they’ve got this new conscription thing going on that they want to make applicable around the globe. I don’t know how that’s going to work out. It’s a great piece by Brandon Smith today. And he talks about in a very eloquent way, a couple of the two classic.

propaganda narratives that are used by governments when it comes to keeping people, people, all get to keep people going when it comes to war, getting them invested in war, in particular wars that have nothing to do with our national interest whatsoever. Nothing, nothing. Whether it be Vietnam, whether it be Afghanistan, whether it be Iraq, whether it be in Syria, it doesn’t make any difference.

This is what they do. There is what he calls the commitment lie, which says that once you step in to support a war effort, you must stay. You have to stay committed. Even if you’re any thinking person would actually recognize that it’s pointless. Anytime the public pulls back,

from that war in a bid to reconsider what purpose it serves, they are ridiculed for potentially risking lives, right? Setting the stage for defeat. In other words, you must support the effort blindly. You’re not allowed to examine the conflict rationally because who wants to be blamed for losing a war? And the other one is the domino effect law.

which says that if you allow a particular enemy to win in one conflict, they will automatically be emboldened to invade other countries until they own the entire planet. Yep, they use that trick in Vietnam. Does that turn out to be true? Again, we’re being told that about Russia, we’re being told that about China. China and Taiwan, and again, most people have no idea how long…

and what’s been going on between China, Taiwan, the United States and Russia and the politics that have been involved for decades. Now, decades, people have no idea, nor do they know the actual history of China and the fact that they have never been a nation that has had imperialistic ambitions, just not who they are. It’s a completely different culture. Anyway, that’s what we’re…

we’re dealing with right now. Sound familiar? But what’s amazing to me, it’s amazing to me is it works. It works, they’re gonna keep using it. You know, when I talk about investment scams and people getting ripped off and how investment con artists, the world’s second oldest profession, what do they use? They use greed and fear to sell whatever they’re trying to sell. And this is the same nonsense that the military industrial complex uses to continue to push their forever wars.
