Even the most duplicitous of voices in the West are now beginning to recognise the Russians are unstoppable in all fronts in the Ukraine. In the past week or so, a number of developments have cropped up to reinforce that realisation: Ukrainian defenses begin collapsing across Donbas; –
Salient around Popasnya continues to expand in all directions; –
Russian forces take Lyman and continue advance toward Sloviansk; –
Western media begins shifting to panic over Ukraine’s prospects; –
West moving toward sending multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS); –
Western MLRS give no advantage to Ukraine over Russia; –
MLRS were in Ukraine’s arsenal in late February but have since been reduced; –
Russian MLRS are equal or better than Western systems and also more numerous; –
Pentagon admits Russian making progress despite most Western weapons arriving on the front line.

Regis Tremblay sums up the Ukrainian War, from its sordid origins to its global consequences
5 minutes readREGIS TREMBLAY’s view on the present state of affairs in Ukraine and geopolitically. The US has lost badly on the ground and politically in Ukraine. This is not a “proxy” war with Russia, this is a direct and hot war with Russia. There are lots of US and foreign boots “on the ground,” and $57 Billion already dumped on Ukraine to no avail. Simultaneously, the US threatens China in the same way: sanctions, a trade war with tariffs, and military threats. How insane can they get. Oh, it can get much worse. Realizing they have lost the epic battle for control of the world, will they take the whole world down with them in a nuclear Armageddon? That’s where we are today, May 28, 2022.

Eugene Puryear is the host of the BreakThrough News podcast The Punch Out, and co-host of the BT live video show The Freedom Side.

As Things Continue to Deteriorate in Ukraine, Everyone Is Positioning Themselves For The Incoming Ukrainian Disintegration
6 minutes readLira is correct in seeing the practically inevitable disintegration of the current Ukranian regime, and the country itself dismembered into various regions, becoming perhaps a rump state, with Russia being the main arbiter of the new geopolitical reality on the ground. Lira also has choice words to define NATO’s chief and Washington’s puppet, Jens Stoltenberg, the most prominent symbol of Scandinavian prostitution to Washington’s malignant designs. “I despise that man,” intones Lira, and we fully agree. “He’s an imbecile, he epitomises the nordic man…an empty suit, one of those imbeciles who think they know everything and know nothing, but act arrogant and dismissive toward everyone.”

Grains of deceit (updated with visual of maritime corridor set up by the Russian Navy)
37 minutes readThe Western corporate media are masters of deceit, by providing just enough information to create a narrative, but deliberating omitting information or background data that alters the narrative negatively. At first sight, this narrative is so skewed, and many will be quick to dismiss it as nonsense. I would be careful to do this as there is a broader narrative effort being shaped by the U.S., EU and NATO. The implication that there is a global food crisis looming solely due to Ukrainian ports not being able to export crops is exasperating.
