Why? Because it failed?
Not the first time that idiotic theorists engineered wishful thinking plans that failed because they underestimated some inputs or they were ignorants of other factors. When you are convinced that Russia is a gas station pretending to be a state, don’t be surprised to be surprised.

I think you missed the point.
 
The US started wars in Korea, Vietnam,  Iran/Iraq, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Yemen and Russia.
 
If it was a major league team their record is; 0 Wins, one tie (Korea) and 5 losses.
 
However, if you are a Sovereign that makes money and influence  through the MIC along with  corrupting , looting and pillaging you want , need continual wars and never want to win them cause then you would have to ‘build something’ rather than destroying it.

“So you are saying that the US provoked a war that they had almost no plan on how to win. From what I have seen the US seems to be just pulling things out of their ass on the fly and hope something works. Not a very good plan .
Now they want to dump this war in the EU’s lap. Seems strange for something that they really wanted for themselves.”
 
The US isn’t monolithic. To be precise, a president who couldn’t remember what he had for breakfast “provoked a war that they had almost no plan on how to win”  and Trump, inheriting a mess left by Nuland, Sullivan, et al, “wants to dump this war in the EU’s lap.”

– I more and more think that the NATO, EU, Europe have a plan to destroy the Ukraine in order to be able to loot / plunder the destroyed country even more without any resistance from the people and the government (or what’s left of it) in the Ukraine. There was a video that describes what the plans of the West with the Ukraine are.

Micron at it again, suggesting France send 2000 troop contingent to Ukraine.
Bet they already sent it and judging by periodic mercenary strikes most of them were already killed.

A bit of sabre rattling from the Yankee Zionist POTUS – although the US is good at murdering fisherman off the coast of Venezuela.
 
“POTUS Donald Trump aboard US Navy USS George Washington at Yokosuka Naval Base of JMSDF: “No enemy will ever even dream of threatening America’s Navy… And if they do, the American Sailor stands ready to crush them, and sink them, and wreck them, and blast them into oblivion.””

Hopefully they don’t come but if they do the last sentence is fitting.
 
Kim Ives (@kimives13): “I was just in Venezuela for @haiti_liberte in late July. I saw a nation that was united and thriving. It now produces 100% of its food, 80% of its pharmaceuticals. Roadways were clean and well-maintained, with work crews everywhere. In downtown Caracas, local residents cheered President Maduro (who had minimal security) when he visited a popular quarter. Trump and Rubio’s plan to invade Venezuela reminds me of what Fidel Castro said when the U.S. was threatening to invade Cuba: “You can come,… but you won’t leave.”” | nitter.poast.org

*** reform are a bought and paid-for psyop whose main purpose is to destroy the National Health Service. I don’t think immigration is important to Farage’s clique, it’s just a way to gather votes from, to use Bad King Don’s own words “the poorly educated”. ***
 
Immigration may matter to some of its leaders. Though not as much as it temporarily does, for ulterior motives, to the “Robinson” types and their Zionist sponsors. The ‘Reform’ woman who criticised racially propagandist (there is no other way they could be described) adverts nowadays so blatant in the UK was totally correct, and it was about time someone in mainstream politics finally mentioned what a lot of the public had already noticed and begun to resent  years ago. Interesting to see how pathetically lukewarm Farage’s endorsement of her statement was.
 
It is, however, the case that the main objective of that party is to make Britain even more a copy of the worst of the USA …. or maybe Argentina? Fanatical neoliberalism with no more health and welfare or public services …. but the mass-media’s obligingly obsessive emphasis on the party’s alleged illegal/legal mmigration views masks out the rest of its agenda from most potential voters. So it is very important to inform anyone thinking of voting for Reform — and many people now say they consider doing so —  of Reform’s main agenda, which is certainly not what most of the party’s targeted voters want.
 
Reform is just as much a construct of lie-encapsulated liberal shit as the new “Corbyn/Sultana” party … and just as much an Establishment false-flag front — both marketed to, at least partly, replace older Establishment parties which have finally rotted beyond the point of sustainable (fake) credbility.

Like Trump,  I’d imagine that Putin or even Medvedev – has to occasionally  let off steam – Venezuela could become the next proxy battlefield between Russia and the USA – just as Ukraine is now – but I doubt they’ll openly attack each others forces.

I saw the answer below on Reddit to a question about the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade: Has anyone here served with the 128th? How is it there?
“Very bad, haven’t served with them but I have fought in the same AO as them. It’s a typical meat brigade, most of the dudes are 50+, stay on position for months at a time, have poor equipment, bad logistics, and not enough dudes to hold the line so Russians are able to sneak into adjacent positions without them knowing(in a pretty quiet AO). Their drone teams are okay though.”
https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraineforeignlegion/comments/1nhyahx/128th_separate_mountain_assault_brigade/
How it is possible that a unit like that is able to hold the line? Is it because of the proficiency of the drone team?

128th mountain assault brigade has been supposedly reconstituted several times. The first time it was gutted during AFU’s Kherson offensive as a consequence of pre-set up artillery zones and ambushes.
 
Eventually RUAF evacuated Kherson in relative peace (the only thing they feared was the Himars strike on the bridge), by that time AFU forces including 128th was so wrecked that they cautiously came several days after RUAF left.

Could Putin allow some of the Neo-Nazi’s to flee with their lives?
 
“Russia is prepared to temporarily suspend operations against encircled Ukrainian units in Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeysk while media representatives visit the area, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said.
The president announced that Russian forces have completely surrounded Kiev’s troops in Kupyansk – a city in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region, and in Krasnoarmeysk, located in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had previously stated that up to 5,000 Ukrainian servicemen were encircled in the Kupyansk area and another 5,500 near Krasnoarmeysk.
In a statement on Wednesday, Putin announced that Moscow is willing to allow journalists to enter the encircled areas, including representatives of foreign media, and would cease combat operations against Kiev’s forces for the duration of media coverage.
“The political leadership of Ukraine must make a decision on the fate of its citizens which are currently encircled,” Putin said. He also warned Kiev against staging any provocations while media outlets are in the area.”

Some info on the Burevestnik missile.
 
“Russia’s unlimited-range Burevestik cruise missile is based on breakthroughs in nuclear reactor technology that allow a high degree of miniaturization and quick attainment of operational power, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday. A landmark test of the nuclear-capable weapon was announced last week.
The president praised the engineers behind the achievement during a meeting with injured Russian soldiers at a military hospital.
The missile’s reactor “is comparable in output with a reactor of a nuclear-propelled submarine, but it’s 1,000 times smaller,” Putin said. “But the key thing is that where a regular reactor needs hours, days or weeks to go online, this one launches in minutes or seconds.”
The discoveries made during the creation of the unique power plant will find applications in civilian life, for example in building energy infrastructure in the Arctic, the president said. Meanwhile, the electronic components shielded from radiation that were developed for the Burevestik are already being used in space missions and will be utilized in Russia’s Moon exploration program.
Last week, Putin announced a successful test launch of the Burevestnik, during which the projectile reportedly traveled more than 14,000km. During a meeting this week, he reported a successful trial of the Poseidon system, an advanced nuclear torpedo that is understood to use the same technology as the Burevestnik for propulsion.
“For the first time, we succeeded not only in launching it from a submarine using its booster engine, but also in starting its nuclear power unit, which provided energy to the vehicle for a certain period of time. This is a tremendous success,” Putin said.
He added that the Poseidon’s reactor is miniaturized to a lesser degree than the Burevestnik’s, being roughly 100 times smaller than a regular submarine reactor.
Russia has not released details about the technology behind the two reactors. Some defense experts suggested that it derives from Russian nuclear submarine research.”

“According to Dr. Markus Krall (author of “When Black Swans multiply”), Europe will be facing tough times. Covid1984, the destruction of Europe’s economies and societies as well as wasting money on Ukraine cause lots of troubles. Of course, the culprits will not take responsibility, so they are trying to save face by warmongering.”

Another consequence of Russia’s go slow approach to Ukraine: the U.S. begins moving brigades out of Romania and sending them back to the U.S.
 
The U.S. claims they are doing it because the European armies have become so powerful.they no longer need U.S. assistance in a war.with Russia.  As the linked to post explains, “The Army press release notwithstanding, European military capabilities have declined over the last two years, they have not increased in the slightest as their economies collapse and social unrest rises. While the US is unlikely to do what it obviously should, and withdraw entirely from the European zone in order to focus on its own sphere of influence, whoever is calling the shots clearly recognizes that fighting Russia in Europe is a war that it cannot hope to win.”

President Putin is once again playing the white knight to please the whole world.The encircled Ukrainian troops are to be released.
Did the Ukrainian Nazi troops release the encircled Russian civilian population in the Kursk region? No—up to 50,000 women, children, and elderly people were brutally massacred.Putin has not said a word about this to date.
Comrade Stalin would know what to do now.
