Russia swore that its special military operation would demilitarize & denazify Ukraine while ensuring it remained a non-NATO state. Those goals, set in 2022, are now very much in sight. As a the western-backed Kiev regime runs out of options, as reservists, criminal and elderly conscripts are thrown as cannon fodder at the Russian military, as the encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Donbass grows ever tighter, as Ukraine's fuel dumps are decimated, as the West grows weary of Zelensky and his minions and begins to wind down its support… the Russian military machine has now upped a gear or two to ever more effectively grind the Ukrainian army down on itsroad to certain victory. All the grand tales of Ukrainian valor, fed only by the seeming unlimited support of a death-hungry U.S. elite whipping on its British and European allies to further useless excess, will fall by the wayside as wails of disappointment and anguish take their place. Those tales of valor omitted talk of the ultranationalist death squads consigned to murder any hapless Ukrainian troops seeking to return to their families or surrender. It was never remotely in doubt that Russia would take its special military operation to a successful conclusion. What remained in question only was the extent of her ambition in the face of a western world upping the ante and exhibiting the utmost unwillingness to engage Russian needs for security. The net result of this is that Russia is now minded to take as much of Ukraine as is needed to provide the permanent level of security it requires. The unwillingness of Kiev to accede to Russia's terms at the outset makes the prospect of other pro-Russian regions achieving liberation, regions far outwith the original plans for Russia’s operation. So, the Russian military grinds its way onward, finding that they are increasingly facing weaker and weaker opposition, ever more poorly trained men facing them. Kiev has emptied the jails directly into the Ukrainian army. It has dragged men forcibly off the street, wrenching them from their families to send them barely trained to the front. This while it keeps its best trained and most experienced troops in the rear and in reserve. Perhaps three days or a week at most was devoted to training before they were sent to fight, die, desert or surrender. Western mass media has been full of fairy stories concerning the entire Ukrainian situation from its outset, from Ukraine’s comedic president on down. Fantastical tales of "victories" and enormous Russian "losses" through ‘meat wave’ attacks complete with a wide range of jingoistic ranting mixed in with pseudo-sentimental sobbing over “poor Ukraine”, has created a pathetic spectacle of total denial and delusion across the West. Its populations have been ruthlessly lied to for the last two and a half years, lying that looks certain to continue all the way to the inevitably bitter end. The shock now among the western political and media elites as the Russian army’s pincers connect and proceed to squeeze what remains of the collapsing Ukrainian army  can only be imagined. Paroxysms of anguish and rage can surely be expected. Both will be totally impotent of course in the face of what will be in Russia endlessly celebrated as 'The Second Great Patriotic War'. As great swathes of Ukraine increasingly fall under Russian control and vote to join Russia the paroxysms of agony among western elites will be excruciating. The joyous scenes witnessed in Crimea when it rejoined Russia in 2014 will likely be surpassed across the entirety of former eastern Ukraine and widely too of course across a now unmistakably, undeniably and magnificently resurgent Russia.
