News about the fight in Ukraine is slowing down BUT it appears that the Russian counter-counter offensive is making gains...

 

This is the most propagandized war in the history of the world.

The terrible thing for all of us is that the powers that be are trying to "SHAPE" opinion.

The truth?

The only way to glimpse the truth is to trust your instincts and knowledge, listen to those with various view points and develop your own opinion.

My opinion?

The Russians have successfully blunted this counter offensive.  We are rapidly heading toward a cold winter and the lines will probably be frozen.

The time for a negotiated peace has arrived (again) and its time for diplomats to step to the front.  

Lastly, the US needs to develop a new playbook.  Nations both friendly, in the middle and declared enemies have found ways to blunt sanctions.

Using proxies to push our agenda is becoming increasingly difficult.  The cost of war is beginning to affect our domestic politics despite herculean efforts to insulate our population from our overseas entanglements.

We have to find a new way.
