Ukraine Has LOST, And So Have We

Guest Post by Karl Denninger

The war is not yet over, but Ukraine has already lost | The Hill

I predicted this, and now its happened.

Oh yeah, it hasn’t been “recognized” yet, but it will be.

There are reports that Zelinsky is drafting women.  You don’t do that unless you’re out of fighting-age men who can actually fight.  Note that soymen who runs away or spends his time buttfucking and/or preening can’t actually fight, and you must have people who can.  When you even contemplate drafting women you’ve made a statement that you’re out of competent fighting men.  This is similar to what the NVA did after Tet and what Iran did, but both grabbed literal boys, shoved rifles in their hands and sent them out to die.  Which they did, in size.  The war was over in that case both times, but not yet admitted.  In the former case we literally walked away from a win thanks to Cronkite and the stupidity of the American people buying his bullshit.  Thus it is here, except this time its just money, much of which has been siphoned off by defense contractors and the families of politicians — like fuckface Biden.

Russia has employed a nasty and very effective strategy which our so-called “punditry” has entirely failed to understand.  Putin’s folks lob artillery shells at the other guys; anything within 10-20 miles of their weapons gets pulverized.  With satellite and UAV targeting and fire direction these are wildly effective — and cheap.  He can do this all day long for almost no money.  He blasts away until your force is cut in half, creating a no-go zone where if you stick your head up to try to return fire it gets blown up and then slowly does a pincer on one of the pieces, making the perimeter ever-smaller until they either surrender or are all dead.  Then he goes after the next one, and so on.

Ukraine has proved incapable of hitting Putin’s field pieces as they do not have air superiority and man-portable stuff does not have the range to hit them.  Thus Putin can do this with impunity — and is.

Yeah, Russian soldiers are dying.  But Ukraine is losing both men and material at a much higher rate, and slowly, one-by-one, all the places in the eastern part of the nation are having their Ukrainian troops removed.  In pieces.

At the same time the so-called Russian Sanctions have blown up spectacularly in the western world’s face.  Russia now has a stronger currency than it did before the war we instigated began.  Oil and Natural Gas, never mind things like fertilizer, are nice and expensive which suits Putin just fine.  He has negotiated long term interchange with China for both and is building out the capacity to wildly increase same.  Europe is fucked down the road as a result and in the meantime they got nothing for all these “sanctions.”

For that matter so are we.  We’ve sequestered our inflationary deficit spending overseas via the China/US (and other nations, including India) trade deficit for the last two decades.  That’s over and will never come back because none of the nations that we were doing it with have any reason to allow it ever again and they don’t need to.  At the same time Russia is shipping oil to these nations who then cross-ship it back, some refined first, and there’s no way to do anything about that.  As a result we can no longer spend in deficit without it reflecting back into inflation which means the “free ride” gave has been terminated and while this was always eventually going to end we did this to ourselves and thus the inflation you’re seeing and will continue to see was and is caused directly by our policies and our government.

This means the only way to stop the inflation is to stop deficient spending.

Biden and his vunt nutjob Nuland along with many others royally fucked up.  There’s nothing to be done to salvage this; you can’t directly engage without everyone glowing in the dark and everyone with 2 or more IQ points knows it.

We had better reverse course on all of our insanity with regard to energy now — including oil, natural gas and especially coal, which has a stable long-term price structure or we’re going to get fucked.  The economy here will fold back into a deep, nasty inflationary recession materially worse than the Carter Stagflation, which I remind you we caused with our stupidity related to the Arab Oil Embargo.

Further, we can no longer spend, at the federal level, anything we do not first tax from someone.  I do not give a wet crap what the excuse is from the left or right it all stops now or we continue to get a wild inflationary spike, demand destruction follows and so does severe civil unrest when the blackouts start along with the inability to fund food or even worse — civil war.

If you’re flying a Ukraine flag, assholes, you are the identified enemy right here at home, thank you very much for wearing an enemy uniform openly in public and you deserve to be forced to pay every damned dime of the economic cost to this nation for that act of STUPIDITY.   You ALL deserve the worst of what is to come AND IT IS COMING, like it or not.  I and many others will do our level best to make sure YOU and your entire family eat that cost — every damn cent of it.  You are the most-stupid follower of the “next shiny object” and frankly, you are too fucking stupid to consume oxygen that could and should instead be used by something like a hog that actually produces a useful end product — tasty bacon.

Russia ain’t finished. They’ll take Kharkiv next, then push west to Odessa and link up with Transnistria in Moldova. Then they’ll make a final push into Ukraine interior to take Dnipro and will hold all territory to the south and east of this key city. They are like fighting an amoeba.

I’m not confident that the Russians plan to construct that bridge to Transnistria. Very long supply lines at that point. Who knows

That’s clearly been their goal. They didn’t lay so much ground work in Transnistria for nothing.

The money laundering scheme has gone perfectly.

Your overlords don’t care one whit about the fate of Ukraine,
and they never have. Ukraine is a fence for criminals.

Mygirl....maybe

Forty billion here, forty billion there, wonder how much of all that Ukranian money is passing thru the hands of the congress vermin like Pelosi, Schumer, et al? Biden’s little clan has made out well, and a host of others who wanted this proxy war. Wonder what ol’ Vicky Nuland is doing theses days…if ever there was a sow more evil that Hillary, it would be Vicky…

And looking mighty happy to be there….

First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska:

“37,000 women in serve in the Ukrainian Army, with more than 1,000 of them as commanders.”

Hope they show them a video such as this one to get them ready to the harsh reality that awaits. If they are fortunate they will end up like the mules at the end.

But you don’t understand the country has to be destroyed to achieve the great reset. That is the goal. You will own nothing and be happy is very true because there will be nothing and you will be happy to be alive, if you can call that alive.

Good article.

Since it posits that unless logical, sane and practical measures are taken by the West, we are fucked, it could have been shorter.

We ARE fucked.

Hadn’t been to Karl’s website in months. I’ll give it a look tonight. He’s spot on here.

We’re headed to the Effie Sandestin the week after this. Maybe he’ll show up there, as he’s lived nearby for years.

Due to my biz, had to keep a lid on how essential that the Ukies had to be ddone in, as Country 404 fu8nds Big D. And that ain’t the Cowboys.

The mainstream media ran with it from the get go. When the Dems all jumped on the war bandwagon, and Soros stated that Putin needed to be taken out, I knew the western world was on the wrong side. I imagine this will accelerate the demise of our way of life, which is what the globalists want anyway. Yes, this was all planned!

Precise and to the point. However, like most Americans with their head up their ass believe, which I assume you don’t, the satanic communists who have stolen half the country are not stupid nor incompetent. Their gameplan is being run to perfection.

Higher inflation = higher interest rates. Mortgage rates have doubled in the last six months. The Fed may not push short term rates as high as they should, but the market will push medium-longer bond yields higher. Should be interesting.

No kidding! 1000 up votes! Those of us with any cognitive ability are making a list and checking it twice.

Two questions.

1) I wonder when the shitrag NY Post will remove the fucken Ukie flag from the front page.

2) Everyone talks about a recession, or stagflation. No one mentions a DEPRESSION. Wonder why? Cuz it ain’t possible?

The political cost of calling it what it is would be too much for them.

Yes, it is a depression.

Wait for it when those wimmens get to the front they will drive the Russkies all the way bak to Moscow. Putin has been losing this thin from the beginning. BSNBC and Cunt news told me so.

Some Pollock cocksucker just suggested sending nuke weapons to the Ukies. Unfuckingreal.

“The West could provide Ukraine with nuclear weapons to help defend itself against Russia, Radoslaw Sikorski, a member of the European Parliament and former Polish foreign minister, said. “The West has the right to give Ukraine nuclear warheads so that it could protect its independence,” Sikorski told Ukraine’s Espreso TV on Saturday. Sikorski, who served as Poland’s foreign minister between 2007 and 2014, argued that Russia violated the Budapest Memorandum. Under the 1994 document signed by Ukraine, Russia, Britain, and the US, Kiev agreed to surrender its Soviet-era nuclear arsenal. The signatories promised to “respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine.”

A bit surprising.
The first time I’ve read Denninger take sides against Ukraine, and even without at the same time shitting on [his pet enemy] China.

It’s not about destroying the US, yet.

It’s destroying Europe, and create one last (final!) rush “for safety” into the US dollar.

Again with those pesky facts the government parasites and media shitheads seem incapable of facing .
Covid & the Vaccine debacle , Ukraine and the complacent idiocy and then there is the demented Phony Whitehouse Administration and the real domestic enemies of the American people and our Bill Of Rights & Constitution CONGRESS & SENATE !
Nothing more than a group of rabbid feral cats covering each other’s shit
