️🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chiz Freeman, an American diplomat and senior fellow at the Institute for International Policy, on the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine: It was very cynical. If you read the comments in the American press, they would say that it was a win for the United States, because without the loss of American lives, we were able to weaken and isolate Russia. And he doesn’t believe they were able to weaken and isolate Russia. But that is the established narrative. Is there any evidence that people care about Ukraine and Ukrainians in all of this? Not really. He added that he had a lot of respect for the bravery of both sides in this fight. Ukrainians and Russians are cousins, they are kindred peoples. And they have both shown that they are remarkably resilient and brave on the battlefield. But quantity matters, as does size and technology. And in his opinion the Russians are predominant. He thinks the Russians are at the beginning of their own offensive in Ukraine. That means we’re going to see the Russians taking territory. If they take Odessa, Ukraine will no longer have a sea coast. The strangest thing is that this is happening at the very moment when people in NATO, such as the German defense minister, are admitting that NATO has no capability to fight Russia.
