After pouring more than $100 billion in taxpayer dollars into the black hole known as Ukraine, the neocon war hawks in Washington and London will have a lot of explaining to do when Ukraine implodes into chaos. Poland will likely move in to take a spoil in the western provinces, settling an old score against the Ukrainians, while Russia will take parts of the east. Below, Martin Armstrong explains the ugly history that makes Ukraine the cesspool of corruption that it is today — history of which Americans and Brits are almost completely ignorant. (Notes in parentheses are mine).

Ukraine is a complete disaster. I have been warning that our sources from UKRAINE, not Russia, have been warning that the country is on the brink of collapse. The American neocons are being confronted with the fact that there NEVER was any chance that Ukraine would defeat Russia. And putting a questionable gender dancer in high heels in charge of war (communications) was in itself a war crime.
(The Kyiv Post on Thursday tweeted that Sarah Ashton-Cirillo a transgender journalist from the United States, has become an official spokesperson of the Territorial Defense Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.)
There is absolutely no way Ukraine can win anything. This is why Zelensky has been so desperate to drag in NATO because he knows they cannot retake the Donbas, much less defeat Russia. The American neocons were hoping to weaken Russia so they could contrive some scheme to justify going in for the kill (Why? Because the neocons want control over Russia’s vast resources).
There are rumblings behind the curtain now that a peace deal has to be struck or Ukraine will collapse, if their own troops do not rise up and assassinate Zelensky for his profiteering and slaughter of his own people.
After all, numerous Roman generals found themselves in a position where they did not want to fight so they assassinated their leader. In the case of Maximinus I (235-238AD), his own men, humiliated by their defeat, now entered the tent of Maximinus and murdered him. To demonstrate their new loyalty to Rome, they cut off his head and sent it to Rome. This was no isolated incident. It became rather common in history for the troops, when ordered to fight a wrong war, to turn and assassinate their own general.
The fact that the Wall Street Journal on July 23rd wrote:
“Western military officials knew Kyiv didn’t have all the training or weapons—from shells to warplanes—that it needed to dislodge Russian forces. But they hoped Ukrainian courage and resourcefulness would carry the day.”
The fact that this even appeared in the press shows there is discontent behind the curtain. All we have heard to date are lies about how Russia is weak and losing. That is precisely the opposite of the truth and that is info from Ukraine – NOT Russia.
