About a year ago, I wrote a few posts about the still ongoing war in Ukraine (link 1, link 2, link 3) about why western “experts” and most of the mindless public in those countries were so delusional about the obvious eventual outcome of that conflict. In this one, I will ask a different question. Have you ever wondered why people in some east-European countries such as Ukraine, Poland and the miniature Baltic states are so prone to a child-like belief in the competence of the rapidly declining West. Let us begin by talking about Ukraine. While about 8-10 million people have already left that country since the war started, either through emigration to other countries or living in territories conquered by Russia, those (25-30 million) still living in the territory of that embattled country provide enough military recruits, increasingly forced, to be sent on an endless series of futile attacks against an opponent with many times more artillery, aircraft and other military resources than them.
It goes without saying that this “strategy” by the greedy morons running that country has caused a massive number of casualties- both dead and permanently crippled. Any semi-realistic estimate of Ukrainian casualties to date would put the total number of dead and permanently crippled over 250k each. In other words, they have about half a million casualties, serious destruction of infrastructure in many parts of the country and mass loss of population in the 18-45 age range from emigration. As things stand right now, Ukraine is a basket case and totally dependent on continued and increasing economic as well as military assistance from the West to survive. Russia, by contrast, is doing just fine. In addition to now having a population 5x larger than Ukraine, they have no shortage of weapons of any type and soldiers. They have also suffered only 1/7th to 1/10th the total casualties of Ukraine. The economic war against them by the West has failed miserably and everything inside that country is pretty close to normal. And this brings us to to an unpleasant but inevitable question.
Why are so many people in Ukraine, especially in the western parts of that country, still delusional enough to believe they have a snowflakes chance in hell of pushing Russia out of the occupied regions- let alone out of Crimea. Based on everything which has occurred thus far, how can any person with a half-working brain in that country still believe they have any realistic chance against Russia? How many more young Ukrainian men will die in futile attacks on Russian positions before the delusional morons in that country realize that this war was always a losing proposition. Do they seriously believe that the empty shell of their economy left after this conflict is over can provide enough employment to those still living in that country. Are they dumb enough to not realize that whatever is left of their country after this conflict is over has zero future as an independent nation state.
