“Ukraine. What is the truth...?
Why won’t western media tell both sides…?”
VIRTUALLY UNREPORTED ATROCITY IN LUGANSK, 2nd JUNE 2014
A lot has been said about atrocities in the western media claimed to have been perpetrated by the Russians, for example at Bucha and Mariupol among others. These assertions are conveyed on the say so of the Ukrainian authorities. How willing though are western news broadcasters to convey atrocities attributed to the Ukrainians? The following will I think provide the answer.
If anyone wonders if they are receiving accurate coverage of the conflict in Ukraine I would suggest watching the video below of an event which occurred on the 2nd of June 2014 and ask themselves if they recall hearing about it on any mainstream media news channel at the time.
The video is harrowing to watch. The bodies (five women and three men) are real. Yet across western media there was only one single news report that occurred a day later. This was from CNN and occurred only because a CNN team happened to be nearby at the time of the atrocity and so the network could hardly ignore it as all others so obviously did.
The video below shows the unvarnished truth that was not considered newsworthy in western mainstream news.

INTEL Roundtable: How Intel Will Disguise the Ukraine Defeat.
Ukraine not welcome in NATO and EU – former Zelensky adviser.
The country should ‘recognize reality’ and start developing in its own direction, Aleksey Arestovich has argued.
Kiev should “stop humiliating itself” and end the “illusion” that it will soon join the EU and NATO, Aleksey Arestovich has said.
President Vladimir Zelensky’s former aide made the remarks during a joint broadcast with journalist Yulia Latynina on Friday, in which he commented on the EU Council’s decision in mid-December to begin negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the bloc.
“No matter how much we want to join NATO and the EU – we are not welcome there,” he said.
Arestovich observed that the price for even the “possibility” of Ukraine joining NATO was the start of “a big war with Russia,” adding that the same applied to other Western nations as well. The West is “not ready to pay this price,” he said.
Ukraine’s goal of “joining a big union” is “unfeasible” and the only way out of this situation is to “stop humiliating itself,” so that foreign and domestic policy issues will be handled in Kiev, “not in Brussels, Washington or Moscow,” Arestovich said.
Kiev should therefore “recognize reality” and begin to develop in its own direction, instead of pursuing the “illusion” of reclaiming its 1991 borders and entering the EU and NATO, he argued. He also cited Azerbaijan, Israel, and South Korea as examples of states that are not members of these unions and are “doing quite well.”
The decision to open formal negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the EU was taken on December 15 by 26 of the bloc’s 27 member states. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has been one of the main opponents of Kiev’s entry into the bloc, said his country “does not want to participate in this bad decision” and left the room when the vote was taken.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky announced in September 2022 that he was accelerating his country’s application to join NATO, claiming that “de facto we have already made our way into NATO” and that the request was made “to make it de jure.”

US President Joe Biden has previously poured cold water on the idea, however, telling CNN in July 2023 that hostilities between Kiev and Moscow needed to end before the application to join the bloc could be considered. In November of the same year, Zelensky admitted that he did not know whether Ukraine would join NATO or not.

Does Ukraine Have Any Chance of Winning 'War of Attrition'?
The Russian military has a clear advantage in an unfolding ‘war of attrition' in Ukraine, as it quickly gets advanced and upgraded weapons, whereas the Ukrainian army is struggling to operate its "hodgepodge" of legacy NATO equipment, US military veteran Mark Sleboda told Sputnik.
Upgraded T-80BVM tanks have been supplied to the Russian units fighting in the Zaporozhye area of the special military operation. The armored vehicles boast a fundamentally new communications system and additional armor modules which enable them to withstand strikes from drones and anti-tank missiles.
On the other sides of the barricades, complaints have been heard about the poor performance of the much-lauded German-made Leopard tanks. As it turned out, very few of the Leopard 1 and 2 tanks delivered to Ukraine by Germany were operational with logistics and spare part dilemmas amplifying the problem.
According to Mark Sleboda, a Moscow-based international relations security analyst and US military veteran, Ukraine has little if any odds of winning a war of attrition with such equipment.
"In this conflict, Russia is using its most modern, regularly used battlefield tank, the T-90 Proryv, it is receiving hundreds of new tanks of this caliber a year," Sleboda told Sputnik's Critical Hour podcast. "But both sides of this conflict are also using upgraded tanks as well. Soviet legacy tanks, as well as we have seen recently, but actually most of the Leopards, number wise, that the Kiev regime has received, are actually upgraded Leopard 1s from the 1950s. Well, they actually only got a couple of dozen of the more modern Leopard 2A6s and 2A4s."
"So both sides are making extensive use of older tank chassis that have received very modern upgrades. And the Russian T-80BVM in particular has a very extensive upgrade package. (...) This modernized, upgraded version of the T-80 is right up there with the best of Western modern main battle tanks right now."
The most interesting upgrades that the new T-80BVM is getting are anti-drone units, according to Sleboda. These are electronic warfare units that are fitted to each individual tank to help jam and stop first-person view and other drone attacks on the tank. The expert pointed out that the reports from the field show very good results with this EW equipment. "The drones are being dragged out of the mud when they're attacking these things," the security analyst remarked.
What's more, Russia is not having the logistical problems that the Kiev regime is having with their tanks, the military expert continued. The crux of the matter that the Russians are producing their own tanks; they have spare parts and therefore are capable of repairing their armored vehicles; the Russians have an enormous fleet of older machines they could upgrade; and on top of that the Russian military has been extensively trained to operate those tanks, Sleboda explained.
For their part, Ukrainians are "stuck with a hodgepodge of dozens of different systems, a few Challengers, a few Abrams, a few Leopard 2s, a hundred or so Leopard 1s," he noted.
"They've been pulling some Ts, old Soviet T-55s out of storage and using them - all kinds of crazy things. And the Kiev regime is not capable of even operating effectively because they don't have the trained personnel, much less maintaining them and maintaining a supply parts chain for them. This logistical nightmare really is a very severe hampering of the Kiev regime military in this conflict that Russia does not have. But that's what happens when you try to create a proxy army in the middle of a war, particularly one like with NATO countries, that has different military equipment from two dozen different countries. It's not a good situation for the Kiev regime to find itself in."
In March, Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalists that the Russian Federation would produce more than 1,600 tanks a year, while the total number of these combat vehicles would be more than three times the number of the same equipment in Ukraine's possession.
"[It should be] compared to around 450, again, a hodgepodge of different tanks, many older, a few newer provided by Western countries to Ukraine in a very unsustainable level at that. No matter how much intelligence, no matter how well or not the Kiev regime troops may fight, there is an industrial logic to a war of attrition here. That is the conclusion is unable to be escaped."
A war of attrition means smashing an adversary's physical capacity to fight, its ability to replenish its stockpiles of weapons and replace its fallen soldiers. It appears that Ukraine does not have much chance of prevailing in this sort of a conflict given the Kiev regime's huge losses on the battlefield (about 160,000 people over six months); dwindling military supplies from the West; and inability to launch full-scale military production in its territory.
Does Ukraine Have Any Chance of Winning 'War of Attrition'?
Russophrenia: The West can't decide whether Russia is a pussycat or a lion.
In the bipolar worldview of the collective US-led world, two Russias exist: one is backward and crumbling, the other is a sinister dark empire.
Here’s a little experiment that you can replicate at home: Type ‘Russia Danger’ into Google (or Bing, or whatever search engine you like, but it probably has to be in English or another NATO-affiliated language; say German or French or Polish). Peruse the results.
Then type ‘Russia Weak’ and repeat.
Funny, isn’t it? Both searches will net you a rich catch of links and titles, of opinion pieces, longform articles, surveys and so on, depicting a dangerous or a weak Russia, as the case may be. And many of those sources will be high-quality or, at least, thoroughly mainstream: Reuters, The Telegraph, The New York Times, NPR, reputable think tanks, institutes, and experts – that sort of thing.
In other words, the West is producing two roughly equally prominent narratives about Russia that are mutually exclusive. True, there are some attempts – vaguely reminiscent of medieval scholasticism – to reconcile them. Almost a year ago now, Reuters, for instance, ran the headline that “even a weak Russia is a problem for Europe.”
How convenient from a Western point of view! That way, you can have your triumphalism (because the phrase “Russia weak” here, of course, implies “West strong”) and, at the same time, you can still spread the fear of big bad Russia, with all that means for intra-NATO politics (i.e. US dominance), military budgets, and arms manufacturers. The latter have been doing very well out of yet another war that has – surprise, surprise – turned out to be a racket, in the famous words of US Marine Major General Smedley Butler.
Yet, on the whole, we are looking at a stark contrast. You may think that this is simply reflecting a healthy debate, with two opposing opinions clashing or that differences are due to time passing and things, especially in Ukraine, changing on the ground. To an extent, you’d be right: It is obvious, for instance, that the Western mood has become more pessimistic after the failure of Ukraine’s summer counteroffensive had to be acknowledged.
But the above is far from the whole explanation for the striking Western bipolarity (to use a term from clinical psychology) about Russia. For as so often with Western narratives about that country, they may not help you much to understand the real Russia, but if you read them against the grain, they can tell you a lot about the West’s imaginary Russias (yes, there is more than one). And that, in turn, offers some timely insights into the real West.
Let’s look at a sample of points habitually made about Russia in the two big Western narratives.
For ‘Russia Danger’ we get: obsessively imperial (wants the Soviet Union back or, at least, something similarly dominant); supremely devious (never means what it says and not even the opposite, either); very subversive (able to make or break American presidents, for instance); militarily powerful and ruthless (its forces are battle-hardened and learning, its weapons advanced and adaptable, and, worst of all, its war economy is effective – unlike the West’s); well-connected (it gets ammunition from North Korea, sells oil to India, China just won’t stop siding with it, and, exasperatingly, much of the world is not heeding the West’s command to isolate it); and last but not least, politically “totalitarian,” of course (just disregard here that that term makes absolutely no sense with regard to Russia now).
For ‘Russia Weak’ we find: Not all it’s cracked up to be and really just a fraud (this is where almost no one can resist that deadly tired cliche about “Potemkin” this and “Potemkin” that); primitive in terms of, well, really, everything: values, politics, organization, technology (Remember German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock’s Wayward Washing Machine Theory regarding how Russians get their microchips? No? Lucky you.); savage (This one easily blends with “primitive,” of course – see under “Russian soldiers without guns but with sharpened shovels”); isolated (at least by the very proper crowd in the West), and, last but not least, always brimming with repressed popular discontent and, potentially at least, on the verge of color revolution and regime change (so to speak, authoritarian enough to condemn, but terribly bad at that, too – see under “Potemkin” and “primitive”).
We could refine the picture, but the outlines should be clear enough. And here is what it reveals: what is behind the West’s two Russias is not merely a debate or differences of opinion and assessments, but the latest iteration of a deep cultural pattern with a long history, reaching back to, at least, the moment when Peter the Great gate-crashed the European Great Power club in the early 18th century.
On one side, the West loves to imagine Russia in what – after the great Palestinian-American scholar Edward Said – we have learned to call an Orientalist framing, as a Backward Other: a part of that perennial fantasy ‘East’ that the West simply can’t imagine – or accept – as its equal. That’s the root of all those descriptions of today’s Russia as a kind of shovel-wielding gas station running on empty (if you will forgive a metaphor as muddled as the thinking it designates).
But there is another powerful register in the West’s Russia imagination: the Sinister Other. Whereas in the Orientalist key, Russia is ultimately always seen as reassuringly weak, the Sinister Other is different: a kind of evil mirror image of the West’s self-idealization, this Russia appears as modern, wielding up-to-date means of power across multiple domains from information, to the economy, to the battlefield. The Sinister Other can also mobilize its population well; it has, like the West, solved the political challenge of bringing the masses into politics, only in a way the West likes to imagine as morally inferior to its own brand of manufacturing consent.
Consider the issue of how Russia has been fighting the current war between it, on one side, and Ukraine and (de facto) NATO on the other. Initial – and gleeful – Western observations about Moscow’s mistakes and predictions that, with its call-up of September 2022, Moscow would fall flat on its face and even trigger large-scale rebellion, if not revolution, were a classic example not only of wishful groupthink but of the Orientalist, Backward-Other register. Put crudely: “Those Russians just can’t hack it, because – they are Russians.”
Yet, when Russia did succeed in mobilizing and also adjusted its military tactics, at least some Western perceptions shifted into the Sinister-Other key: as Barry R. Posen, an unusually perceptive Western observer wrote in Foreign Affairs, “the most alarming thing about Russia’s bombing campaign is that Moscow knows what it is doing.” Indeed. But where’s the news?
It is crucial to understand that this Western pattern is not merely about passive observation. On the contrary, there is a proactive aspect to it: We can read the last decades, essentially since the end of the Soviet Union, as marked by the West’s obstinate attempt to not only imagine Russia as backward and weak. Rather, Russia – and Russians – were supposed to fit that image: Under Western eyes, Russia was to be relegated in the real-existing hierarchy of international politics – a big country (and market), sure, but still one that, when push comes to shove, can be coerced and even defeated. And because Moscow has resisted this demotion successfully, Russia is now the Sinister Other again.
That shift illustrates the single most depressing thing about the West’s views of Russia: the West may change its tone from time to time, it may even produce two very different, mutually exclusive narratives about Russia at the same time, when stuck in a moment of transition or confusion. But it never actually learns. All it does, collectively and with all too few exceptions, is alternate between different frameworks of stereotypes. What a missed opportunity. Again and again.

VICTORY BELONGS TO RUSSIA: IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
Each day that passes makes a conclusive Russian victory in the Donbass and beyond more certain. As Russia bolsters her forces, and weaponry, those of Ukraine decrease. Russian forces gain ready access to rest and recuperation as troop numbers increase. The increasingly exhausted and demoralised Ukrainian troops have an ever decreasing prospect of such respite. This situation is likely to bring them to complete breakdown as Russia unleashes the firepower of the more modern and advanced weaponry that is arriving with the newly mobilised Russian troops.
The various Ukrainian offensives are now weak when confronted by the reinforced Russian lines. A few futile efforts achieve quite miserable results before fire reigns down on the Ukrainian troops and they are forced back to their starting positions.
And now, all this being said, we have arrived at the wet, and later, freezing conditions where these pathetic Ukrainian forces will be subject to myriad forms of abject misery with death and injury all around them while they lie sodden or frozen, abandoned to their fate by Kiev.
The pitiable young and old of Ukraine have been frogmarched to their deaths as cannon-fodder while the bestial elites of the collective West urge their "president" to add more to their number there at the gates of Hell and their doom. We must feel for the majority of them as they are not the Nazis we revile, in most part they are decent men, fathers, sons, brothers, husband and uncles, who no doubt saw through the coup of 2014 for what it was. But sadly, their fate seems sealed.
Nothing will stop Russia now. Every factor favours them. Victory will be Russia's. In Donbass and beyond and in due course across the world.
Victory belongs to Russia: It is now only a matter of time.

PEACE IS THE LAST THING THE WEST WANTS IN UKRAINE
(Peace in Ukraine, with Russia not only undefeated but stronger than ever, would work directly against the plan considered ABSOLUTELY VITAL by all western powers since 9/11.)
The crucible of death and seemingly endless suffering in Ukraine is set to go on. That Vladimir Putin has sought a peaceful outcome in Ukraine since well before 2014 bears little influence on the long-term plan for Ukraine that has existed in the West for who knows how long. This plan stretches back to at least 2008 but is likely to go back even further, perhaps much further.
As Vladimir Putin has recently said, the people of Ukraine are not Russia’s enemy, that “honour” goes to the leaders of western nations, those leaders, who in succession, have drawn their plans against Russia, and formerly against the Soviet Union. Seemingly gone are the days when he spoke of “our western partners”. The blinkers appear now to have been removed from his eyes and he sees clearly now that they are in fact Russia’s enemies.
In recent times various spokespersons and leading figures within the western political elite have revealed the true purpose behind the use of Ukraine, that is, to weaken Russia. In addition they speak of ‘breaking Russia up’. The favoured number of pieces that Russia ought to be broken into appears to be five.
The goals of weakening and then breaking Russia up into west-manageable pieces comes with the often repeated and seen enacted goal of recent years and across many nations, of instigating regime change. A large number of standard techniques to achieve regime change have been applied to Russia just as they have been applied elsewhere. The general term to describe them is ‘interference’, however, when it is felt that the level of interference is not adequate to the task then sanctions and ultimately military action are instigated.
In the case of Russia however, the western powers have clearly bitten off more than they can chew. Previous targets have been far weaker with inadequate defences and were unable to come anywhere near to withstanding the West’s onslaught. Why did these powers feel compelled to take on Russia when they surely knew the mountain of a task they had before them?
The reasons the political elites of the West felt they had no choice but to take on Russia are twofold.
1. THE NEED, POST 9/11 TO ACHIEVE ‘FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE.
2. THE URGENCY OF TASK 1. IN THE FACE OF RISING OPPOSITION
The degree of shock 9/1 caused the political systems of the West cannot be overestimated. There can be no greater or more powerful explanation of what the foreign policy (and with it all legacy media stances) changed almost overnight. It was understood across all areas of accumulated power in the West that the long-standing domination of the western nations over all others was threatened as never before.
The answer to the existential threat perceived across all western elites by 9/11 was understood intuitively. The West had to reimpose its power and do so absolutely. There could be no exception to the rule that, in the face of 9/11, no individual, nation, group or any entity whatsoever could stand absent of an overt, stated and constant commitment to be in line with, and stay in line with, western requirements. Those requirements were for obedience in the first instance, and compliance with all the security needs of the West in perpetuity. No exceptions were to be tolerated.
To achieve ‘full spectrum dominance’ the western powers would insist of complete surveillance of all major nodes of power or nascent power. The ability to strike down at potential enemies everywhere was to be insisted upon as necessity. No opaque areas were to be tolerated. All areas must be totally transparent to western gaze. And to the disciplinary action which must follow if even the most inconsequential exception event occurs such as a statement questioning western power. Resistance to western power could no longer be tolerated and any form of resistance in word or deed must be punished and eliminated.
The goal of achieving full spectrum dominance, so urgently required after 9/11 and initiated with full speed alacrity by all tasked to achieve it, resulted in the regime change wars seen beginning with Afghanistan and continuing with Iraq, Libya, Syria and Iran. The goal of taking out all who stood in the way of western full spectrum dominance is not subject to change, indeed to any modification whatsoever. There is no plan b, no brake and no reverse gear.
All of the above would have been relatively easy but for one vital factor due to the quirks of history that put the West in a position of relative weakness when compared to almost all previous times, both Russia and China were rising as economic and military powers. This fact exacerbated to a fearsome degree the already monumental task of achieving full spectrum dominance. How to do this when great swathes of the world jealously guarded their own national sovereignty, independence and the sacrosanct nature of their national security?
China, foremost problem to the western powers could not be tackled head on, it was simply too powerful to begin the process without weakening it first. This is why Russia was chosen as the first major candidate for destruction via Ukraine rather than China via Taiwan. Russia must be weakened and the chosen method was to inveigle it by inexorable pressure and refusal to provide it way out, into mounting a campaign against the Ukrainian regime over the Russian-speakers of the Donbass region.
Again, the following two tasks fuel all that we see occurring now:
1. THE NEED, POST 9/11 TO ACHIEVE ‘FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE.
2. THE URGENCY OF TASK 1. IN THE FACE OF RISING OPPOSITION
These are the reasons why a defeat of the western powers in Ukraine is unthinkable for them. The plan was to first eliminate Russian power and render it quiescent and manipulable… and then complete the task of doing the same to China. With Russia and China eliminated as oppositional powers the task of undermining and eliminating all others would pale into insignificance.
There can be no let up in the goals described above. No plan b was ever contemplated nor ever will be. No matter what it takes, up to the use of nuclear weapons, there will be no relenting by the West. To relent would be to accept that 1. above could never be achieved, that this unquestioned and vital goal could never be achieved and due to this failure, the USA could never be totally safe from another nationally catastrophic event such as that which occurred on 9/11 2001.
