The West’s “Theory of Victory“ in Ukraine: Convincing Ukraine to Fight a Futile War
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for May 26, 2024…
- Ukrainian forces continue to be overextended by growing Russian pressure including in Kharkov, as well as Ukraine’s own strategy to defend undefendable positions and even counterattack Russian forces;
- Within the Western media, “theories of victory“ are being proposed, collections of tired narratives long-since demonstrated as unrealistic;
- As long as the collective West fails to address fundamental weaknesses in its military industrial base, and the unsustainable nature of its foreign policy in the first place, attempts to defeat better prepared and organized adversaries will fail;
- Despite Ukrainian claims of success using ATACMS on Russian air defense systems, Russia is still able to produce more each year than Ukraine can damage or destroy, while Ukraine’s air defenses have been depleted and Western allies are unable to replace them;
