NeoCons Lost 400,000 Ukrainian Men

400,000 dead or casualties.  That's the cost Victoria Nuland (and the sock-puppet Biden) imposed on Ukraine in a 'war' lost from the get-go.

The war in Ukraine has repeatedly confounded expectations. It is now doing so again. The counter-offensive that began in June was based on the hope that Ukrainian soldiers, equipped with modern Western weapons and after training in Germany, would recapture enough territory to put their leaders in a strong position at any subsequent negotiations.

This plan is not working. Despite heroic efforts and breaches of Russian defences near Robotyne, Ukraine has liberated less than 0.25% of the territory that Russia occupied in June. The 1,000km front line has barely shifted. Ukraine’s army could still make a breakthrough in the coming weeks, triggering the collapse of brittle Russian forces. But on the evidence of the past three months, it would be a mistake to bank on that. ...

That's the assessment of The Economist in an essay which could have been written by Victoria Nuland.

Maybe Zelenskiy should be packing up to move into his Miami-area mansion before he gets whacked by actual Ukrainian patriots.
