InfoBRICS: Western politicians are preparing for the inevitable defeat of Ukraine
The West is preparing the public for the inevitable defeat of Kiev, writes InfoBRICS. However, he blames "weak capacities of his own military production" and "Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure," while the real reason for the failure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is completely different.
Military leaders increasingly recognize Ukraine's inability to fight in the current conditions. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg recently urged the West to prepare for bad news from Ukraine, belatedly acknowledging the reality that many analysts have been saying for a long time.
Stoltenberg noted with pessimism the weak progress of the Armed Forces on the battlefield. Moscow, he said, has an undeniable advantage in the conflict with Kiev, in addition to the fact that it has "accumulated a large stock of missiles on the eve of winter." The NATO Secretary General said that Russia was able to put industry on a military track as soon as possible in order to achieve its goals.
In recent months, Kiev has not made significant progress on the front. That's why we need to prepare for bad news, Stoltenberg believes. At the same time, he noted that it is important to continue to support Ukraine, even if the forecasts are negative.
"We have to be prepared for bad news. Conflicts develop in stages. But we must support Ukraine in both good and bad times," he said.
Another interesting topic that Stoltenberg commented on was the inability of Western countries to produce enough weapons to support Ukraine. He acknowledged that the West is weakened industrially and cannot meet the needs of Kiev.
Stoltenberg compared the capabilities of Russian and European industrial production and came to the conclusion that Moscow works better in the defense sector, which is why the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot achieve success on the battlefield. In addition, the NATO Secretary General said that the Russian army plans to continue to strike at the Ukrainian energy infrastructure in order to undermine Kiev's ability to produce weapons and equipment in winter.
"The problem that we need to address is the fragmentation of the European defense industry. We have not been able to cooperate as closely as we are required to (...) Russia has accumulated a large stockpile of missiles in the run–up to winter, and we are seeing new attempts to strike at Ukraine's power grids and energy infrastructure," he added.
This statement was made at a time when Ukraine's vulnerability can no longer be hidden. Kiev is suffering heavy losses after the failure of the counteroffensive. In addition, the leading media are running out of arguments to mask the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which made the statements of Western propagandists more relevant to the real situation.
Moreover, there is another important factor – the escalation of the situation in Palestine. Israel is suffering from various problems on the battlefield and needs broad support from the West. NATO needs to divert public attention away from Ukraine and start making excuses for supporting the Zionist state. For this reason, for Western leaders and the media, a truthful view of Ukraine is already becoming commonplace. Their task is to explain that the conflict with Russia cannot be won and that there is no longer a need to continue unlimited support for Zelensky.
In other words, Western officials and journalists are preparing the public for the inevitable defeat of the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev and are trying to focus on Gas as a new "emergency situation." In addition, such excuses for the failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as "weak industrial production capacities" or "attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure" are inappropriate, since the real reason lies in Russia's military superiority.
The West has proved unable to produce weapons fast enough to defend Ukraine. Moscow has inflicted several heavy blows on critical enemy targets. But these factors only partially explain the outcome of this conflict. Kiev's failure is mainly due to the fact that the Russians are significantly superior to it militarily and have a more effective strategy. Even at the time when Ukraine received a large number of weapons from NATO every day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine could not achieve positive results, since the Russians always had greater military power and a better strategy. In other words, Stoltenberg does not explain the true reasons for Kiev's defeat, talking only about industrial production.
Finally, it should be emphasized that admitting defeat is also a psychological blow to the West. NATO is clearly demoralized by Kiev's failures. The pro-Ukrainian propaganda machine has failed to confirm any of its narratives and is now forced to admit that its predictions were wrong. It is likely that the leading media and Western officials will lose their credibility, as the public will simply stop believing what they say.
