Narratives
Soon, the fighting between Ukraine and Russia will complete its third year. With the attitude of fighting to the last man, it becomes obvious that

Ukraine never had a chance to win a contest with Russia. The correlation of forces where never in favor of Ukraine. It had neither the men, money or industry to win the war. Nor did the West ever intended to provide those. The U.S. aim was and is to weaken Russia, not to defeat it. That would be too dangerous (think nukes).

As UWDude remarked in a recent comment (edited):

Again, at the outset, Russia vs Ukraine, a whole bunch of bullshit was spewed about how weak Russia was to build a case for Ukraine having a chance, when every casual observer could see Russia would win. Like watching a bear tangle with a doe, and people saying bears are not that powerful and a doe’s kick could kill a bear if in the right place.

Ukraine having a chance was just people lying to themselves, when the truth was evident from the start.

At least some of the profession propagandists are smart enough to recognize that the fairytales they write are just that and have nothing to do with reality. Other propagandists, often politicians, are falling for their own narrative. They once did believe that Ukraine was winning. They once did believe that the war was at a stalemate. They will now come to believe that Ukraine is losing the war.

Let’s hope that they will derive the correct consequences from it.

(Make peace you fools!)

I would like to see peace preferred to victory, but I fear that the recent delivery of more weapons was to bolster the election result for those who supported the fighting. I am curious to see how the support for Ukraine will continue.
