Leaks Spelling The End For Ukraine

 Leaked U.S. intelligence documents have exposed Western disinformation about Ukraine winning the war.

A Washington Post headline last week was a bombshell for someone who has only been reading about the Ukraine war in The Washington Post and other Western media: "U.S. doubts Ukraine counteroffensive will yield big gains, leaked document says."

The story admits that Western media audiences have been misled about the course of the war, that essentially what mainstream media has been reporting about Ukraine has been a pack of lies: namely that Ukraine is winning the war and is poised to launch an offensive that will lead to a final victory.

Filled with the usual talk about Ukraine having better "Operational skill" than Russia, and that the war will end in a "Stalemate," the piece represents an emerging strategy in the West: namely that before negotiating, Ukraine needs to launch its offensive to gain back some territory, "Imposing heavy losses on Russia, foreclosing Moscow's military options, and increasing its willingness to contemplate a diplomatic settlement."

Moscow would be unlikely to negotiate at the end of the Ukrainian offensive, particularly as the article admits the "Russian military's numerical superiority" and that Ukraine is "Facing growing constraints on both its own manpower and help from abroad.".

"Come the end of this fighting season," the article says, "The United States and Europe will also have good reason to abandon their stated policy of supporting Ukraine for 'as long as it takes,' as U.S. President Joe Biden has put it."

Very likely for the same reason they published the stories about Macron and Scholz telling Zelensky he's lost the war, and that the Ukrainian government may have been responsible for the Nord Stream sabotage: to lay the ground work for the U.S. and its allies to pull the plug on their Ukrainian adventure by finally admitting Ukraine is losing.
