And whereas the supposed geniuses of NATO have seen three successive iterations of their material and tactical handiwork get systematically shredded by the Russian way of war, the Russians have adapted, innovated, and produced at scale to a degree the west simply cannot match now, and could not act to match anytime soon.
So that’s where we stand here in early 2024.
The Russians are winning the war in Ukraine, and winning it big. They will, on whatever timetable they choose, dictate the terms of its ultimate resolution.
On the broader geopolitical and diplomatic front, they are winning the war even bigger.
As are the Chinese and the Iranians.
The Russia, China, Iran axis that is rapidly solidifying is, by far, the most potent adversary western hegemony has faced since its inception centuries ago.
