The West's Scheme in Ukraine Is Collapsing and Now the "Blame Game" Starts

Editor's note: The following republished material is one of the best assessments available of what is going on in Ukraine with US involvement. The question was brought up with the recent FBI investigation of John Allen who is the president of the wonk tank Brookings Institute who was subsequently placed on leave. Did a faction in the power structure in Washington start to take down the faction responsible for the quagmire in Ukraine? It sure isn't a Russian quagmire with Russia removing from the battlefield an estimated 500-600 (waste of lives) Ukrainian soldiers a day. Now that the Pentagon apparently admits they were running 46 biolabs in Ukraine cracks are appearing in the dollar empire's armor over Ukraine and the blame game will set in. The hubris and arrogance of these wonks (war mongers) at these multi-million dollar financed wonk tanks like RAND Corp. and Brookings connected to the Pentagon are beyond the pale.

OPERATION Z – WHOSE QUAGMIRE?

9 June 2022 | by HELMHOLTZ SMITH | 21 Comments

A 2019 RAND study (Overextending and Unbalancing Russia), like most Western plans erected on the whim that Russia's economy "is comparatively small and highly dependent on energy exports", saw Ukraine as "[Russia's] greatest point of external vulnerability".

That assumption is now being tested and it doesn't look as if it’s Russia that has been sucked into the Ukrainian quagmire.

After 100 days of war Russia controls, to quote Ukrainian President Zelensky, about 20% of Ukraine's territory and is inflicting 500-600 casualties per day. The Russians are methodically grinding the Ukraine Armed Forces out of existence. And it's unlikely that they are suffering many casualties – for them the shells are going out, for the Ukrainians the shells are coming in.

We keep hearing about "wonder weapons" that will turn the war around. First there was the Turkish Bayraktar drone. But a large, not very fast, not very high-flying target is no great challenge for Russia's air defense armory and we don't hear much about them now. The fifty-plus fighter planes never appeared. Saint Javelin was another disappointment according to Ukrainian prisoners. Today's wonder weapon is the 155mm gun and there's a full court press on NATO members to dig them out and ship them off. Near me there is a military facility with a M109 "gate guard" and I'm waiting for it to be packed off to replace the ones destroyed the other day. The Russians turn out to have another "pencil" for the Western "space pen" and the vaunted M777 uses a lot of titanium. Titanium!!! NATO should have kept them – there may no more when these are gone.

Wars always consume more ammunition than expected. And so it is here. In mid-April it was estimated that the US had sent about a quarter of its stocks of Javelins to Ukraine – "about three or four years to replace the missiles that have been delivered so far". Since then more have gone. Stingers too. Stockpiles are being reduced so quickly that at least one well-informed Western soldier thinks the West has pretty much reached the limit of what it can send.

As to the Russians, the Second World War experience is so baked into their minds that they know that they can never have too much ammunition. Back in March "senior UK defence sources" said Russia had only another two weeks left. Less said a US general. "Bogged down" by logistics failures at the end of March. Don't hear much of that these days – every day the Russians carry out hundreds of fire missions and the Calibers and Iskanders keep coming.
