An analysis of the current war situation. https://youtu.be/kYHeR93JzLE
What do you think the end game looks like, Steve?
It is clear to any impartial observer that Ukraine/NATO have no chance of achieving any of their declared aims(the retaking of territory). It is also clear that Ukraine/NATO are out of equipment, men and ideas and conversely that Russia have a battle hardened and rotated army much stronger than at the start of hostilities. The West simply cannot produce the weaponry to fight Russia as even Bell admits although he tries to spin it. It isn't really analysis, Steve. Bell is way too biased and he is spouting NATO copium. Russia has humiliated NATO and the rest of the world can see.
At one point Bell tells us that although Russia may have won tactically, they have lost strategically. He bases this conclusion on the fact that the ICC have an arrest warrant out for Putin and the rest of the world can see that he can't travel. If that is the extent of your claims of success, it is as good as an admission of defeat. Pathetic.
The NATO plan of over-extending Russia and giving them another "Afghanistan" has backfired spectacularly. It is the US and their not so merry band of thieves who are being drawn into multiple conflicts and being bled white. All the money and arms poured into Ukraine all for nothing. Ukraine and their sponsors will end up with less than if they had stuck to the Minsk Accords.
All of this was entirely predictable and predicted from the beginning by anyone with any knowledge. Too many in the West, especially in media and government, ended up believing their own propaganda. Russia was weak economically and militarily, we were told, and Putin would be over thrown by Navalny or some such as soon as the "sanctions from hell" destroyed the "weak Russian economy". The Russian military was weak and would be crushed by the NATO armed, trained and funded Ukrainian Army plus assorted mercs. How's all that going?
If anything at all is left of Ukraine as a state, it will be a demilitarised rump state. It is like watching a suicide by cop incident. Ukraine has committed suicide by Russia, at the behest of the interests of those that NATO protects(bankers and corporate financial interests). NATO have weakened themselves, not Russia. Ukraine has committed suicide by Russia.
Ask yourself, Steve, outside of the Western media bubble, how do you think the ROTW sees things? African countries are increasingly moving away from the Western imperialists and turning to Russia and China. Do you think the Africans see a "weakened Russia" and "strong NATO"? How about South America and the Middle Eastern states? Objectively it is plain to see that power is shifting from the West and that NATO, the enforcers of the old world order, are no longer the pre-eminent military power in the world.
Realistically, the Ukrainian Army was the strongest army that NATO could muster and Russia have destroyed it several times over. Ukraine's casualty figures are horrendous, as you would expect from an army so hopelessly outgunned on every level and attempting to take territory from a well dug in enemy. NATO simply can't produce an army to defeat Russia in Ukraine. This has always been obvious to those not drunk on Western propaganda.
