Great article, thank you. What’s troubling me is what’s the exit ramp that Russia can offer the Europeans? Can’t see them accepting present loss of face with their electorates

Israel may be that exit ramp, like a flood that creates a river where there wasn't one before.

Where will it end? Ukraine is now a pariah state like Israel. There need to be a huge buffer zone to protect Russia

Excellent article. The question that concerns me is whether the U.S./NATO can admit defeat. I fear what their pride will lead them to do. I also want to highly recommend your recent book, "The Ukraine War & the Eurasian World Order." I finished my first reading, and I am now going through a second time making notes. Very good observations.

Does the US ever admit defeat? So would that matter this time?

A great overview, certainly we are at a dangerous juncture, who knows what the Europeans will do. We already know what countries like Poland, Lithuania and Estonia would like to do. Here is a great article from a contributor who writes on military strategy.

Putin, July 7 2022: “We have heard many times that the West wants to fight us to the last Ukrainian. This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but it seems that everything is heading towards this.”

I would strongly suggest that you stay off being interviewed by Indian media such as Wion if you want to stay as a neutral and uncoloured perspective on global matters

Truth can be spoken anywhere, and it should be.

I agree. My point is, untruths are often propagated by Indian media such as Wion.

Almost everywhere, but we can be honest anywhere.

Diesen refuse to talk about the insane numbers of Russian losses.
