Three weeks ago I said on air, "Russia is about to start a full on assault to take the small parts of the Donbas that remain under Ukraine control and the Ukrainians are going to be unable to stop it or even slow it down".  

This video shows that is happening.  Now here is what comes next which I also said on the air.  The Western Allies are unwilling to actually do WWIII they just like talking like they are.  They are going to have to find a way out now, it will be spun that the big mean republicans held back aid for too long and if only it had been their earlier it would not of happened.  Further that more aid is still needed for "bargaining strength" or some such shit. 

The truth is that last giant aid package will be about 90% used by the oligarchs to pad their retirements, pay the retirements of government pensioners, some of the top brass to enable escape.  It was all a grift, Ukraine never had a chance.  The US is the real evil in all of this.  

We goated Ukraine on like asshole kids do with a kid they know will lose the fight just to see the fight, "you can take him Billy, he's bigger than you but really he's a wimp, just kick him in the balls and he will go down".  Then they snicker as Billy gets his ass kicked.  

Next Black Rock and Friends move into "rebuild Ukraine" only to find (by surprise of course 🙄) there are not enough able bodied men left to do the work.  What comes next is a MASSIVE importation of immigrants that the other NATO nations let in and now regret to "rebuilt Ukraine".

All Ukraine ever had to do was honor the deal they made with the Donbas in 2014, that was it, but no 8 years of attacking that region on Putin's doorstep then claiming victimhood when their bullshit was called in.  All because we told them we had their backs and made them think they could win a war we always knew they'd loose.
