Update on the conflict in Ukraine for September 18, 2023 - Ukrainian offensive operations remain stagnant along the line of contact with Russian counterattacks overturning what superficial progress they do make; - The Western media citing US and other NATO member state officials admits Ukrainian forces lacked the proper training to conduct a successful offensive; - As Western sources begin admitting to Ukraine's catastrophic losses in men and materiel, they also admit Russian losses are near all time lows; - The collective West also acknowledges that the amount of ammunition and weapons Ukraine requires is beyond the West’s ability to provide both in the short and intermediate future; - In order to provide such levels of material support, the West would need to significantly mobilize its population, industry, and military, a prospect that isn’t even being seriously considered let alone planned; References: BBC - War in Ukraine: Is the counter-offensive making progress?

Thank you, Brian, your analysis is always excellent. Russians are not glad that Ukrainians die. I can say it as Russian. We just suffer because other Russians die, our soldiers suffer in a war. Because it is a war. And it makes not only physical impact on people. People have psychological problems after the war, it is inevitable. I know people who struggled in Afghanistan and Chechnya. So war is always exists in their heads. We just wish this war will finish as soon as possible. But the West can't allow it. They will create methods to destroy Russia

The globalists wanted to make a fool out of Russia. But instead, the globalists ended up making fools of themselves. Let that be a lesson.

The proxy war in Ukraine is the first time nato has tried to pick on someone their own size and nato is getting humiliated.

What a crime against humanity to send these poor Ukrainians into the meat grinder for NATO optics and US industrial military complex. Criminal!

US/NATO invading Iraq was illegal. Imagine if Russia started providing Saddam with missiles to strike at American targets - aircraft carriers, planes, etc. We'd be on a brink of nuclear war in a second. We are on a brink of a nuclear war now. It's just Russia does not react as hysterically as US does. Russia still does what it has to. In 1938 the Soviet Union asked Finland to exchange territories to create a buffer zone for Leningrad's protection. This offer was dismissed. In 1939 the Soviet-Finnish war started. As a result the territory exchange happened. As a result Leningrad didn't fall and endured a 872 days siedge in WW2. In december 2021 Putin voiced Russia's concern for it's safety, NATO's moving east and using Ukraine as a battering ram. These concerns were gleefully dismissed. In february 2022 the Special Military Operation (SMO) started. Now, while the SMO is going, the US/NATO crosses one red line after another being fooled into feeling of false safety because Russia doesn't throw hysterical tantrums like US would. But when the US/NATO crosses the final red line there will be no tantrums. There will be nuclear strikes - as many and as hard as possible.

One does not “hold territory “ if the Russian military is within striking distance. You are simply sending your forces into a fire bag.

NATO admits Russia invaded Ukraine because of NATO expansion and NATO’S REFUSAL to sign an agreement to not expand and to go back to 1997 borders.

"BBC is making propaganda not journalism" That is according to my experience during the cod wars between 1972 to 1976

The US mythology of Soviet training and how it was somehow inept just won't go away.
