“The war is over. Why hasn’t it ended?”
Concerned Veterans for America

By any objective measurement, the corrupt US puppet government in Ukraine is losing its war with Russia catastrophically. When Ukraine declared independence in 1991, it had a population of 51.5 million, with a significant percentage of young men and women in the prime of life. The Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW) now estimates that given the massive loss of life in the US proxy war with Russia (400,000 Ukrainians killed and another 80,000 wounded) coupled with mass migration fleeing the war, Ukraine’s population could be as low as 24 million by 2030.

Steven Myers, an Air Force veteran who served on the State Department's Advisory Committee on International Economic Policy, says:

"Strategically, this war was lost by both sides before it started. It will end in stalemate, which I now think was Putin’s intent from the get-go. President Biden, NATO and (Ukrainian President Volodymyr) Zelenskyy have trapped themselves in a Catch-22 of their own making, unable to deliver on unrealistic expectations they created."

Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor, former advisor to the Secretary of Defense and a decorated combat veteran of the Gulf War, says categorically that Ukraine is losing the war, cannot win, and that its much vaunted “counter offensive” this spring has stalled before it even started.

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald devoted an entire episode of his System Update program on Rumble to an analysis of the US-Ukraine loss of the counteroffensive and the fading hope of even a hollow symbolic victory against Russia.

Meanwhile, public opinion on Ukraine has soured, with 55% opposing further US aid. There are three possibilities for an end to the Ukraine war before the November 2024 US election.

  1. Russian victory

  2. US-Ukrainian victory

  3. Escalation to nuclear conflict between Russia and the US, aka, Armageddon per President Joe Biden

None of these potential outcomes work politically. Russian victory would spell electoral doom for Democrats, irrespective of their presidential candidate. Not a single so called foreign policy expert on either side believes that a US-Ukrainian victory is possible before the election. Nuclear conflict is neither a winning electoral nor military strategy.
