There are so many angles to view history through as well and layers upon layers of parallel technological developments taking place in many areas. Even I did not get taught in school about Breton Woods, the post WW2 period, Warsaw Pact, NATO, nuclear weapons testing, etc etc because public schools only want to get your feet wet and get you started on reading. Also things are whitewashed and censored for public school students. Also democracy is non-majoritarian in the US at least so young people are shown that voting does in fact not matter as much as who a big donor wants running for office.

    British military intelligence is a contradiction in terms, as has been proved many times and as this fellow is setting out to prove again. Without NATO ukraine would have collapsed well over a year ago, and despite NATO help it will probably collapse by the end of the year. Poland is eagerly awaiting its chance to grab a chunk, just as it did with the collapsing Czechoslovakia in early 1939.

      American mercenaries are behind the attack on Donetsk
      American mercenaries are behind the attack on Donetsk.
      American mercenaries who arrived in Donbas a few months ago are behind the attack on Donetsk the previous afternoon. This is evidenced by the fact that NATO-standard weapons were used during the shelling, moreover, at least two groups of American mercenaries were previously seen in the suburbs of Donetsk, which are under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
      It is known that American mercenaries are taking part in the fighting in the Donbass. At the same time, given that the city was shelled the previous morning using NATO-standard weapons, it is more than likely that members of a private military company from the United States are also behind the attack.
      According to official data, as a result of a two-hour shelling of Donetsk, there is significant destruction in the Kievsky district of the city. In particular, it is reported about the destruction of warehouses and garages. There is unofficial information about the victims, but this has not received any documentary evidence.
      Experts note that if information about the attack by American mercenaries on Donetsk is confirmed, Russia may send military assistance to the self-proclaimed republics, since Kiev's current actions violate the terms of the Minsk agreements.

      The US is participating in the war on Donbass.
      . Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the south of the DPR immediately after reconnaissance of an American aircraft . The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the south of the DPR immediately after the reconnaissance of the American side.
      The American military reconnaissance aircraft Boeing RC-135V was involved in the latest attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the south of the DPR. As it became known to the Avia.pro news agency, the night before, fire was opened on a number of settlements in the DPR, where militia forces were moving, from various types of weapons, mainly from 120-mm mortars.
      . According to data obtained by the Avia.pro news agency, during reconnaissance by an American military aircraft along the line of contact, close attention was paid to militia targets located near the line of contact. Later, the southern part of the DPR was subjected to heavy shelling and, as it turned out, additional DPR units could indeed be deployed in the village of Kominternovo, although this information did not receive any comments from representatives of the self-proclaimed republic. . Experts note that the involvement of the American military aircraft in the attack is obvious, since the strikes were carried out only on certain areas of the line of contact and on settlements.

      UKRAINIAN ARMY CONTINUES MASSIVE SHELLING OF DONETSK AND LUHANSK
      ~ The Ukrainian army continuously fires 120mm mortars at the settlements of Zaitseve and Dokuchaevsk in the Donetsk region.
      Thousands of shells were fired during the day, mainly at civilian infrastructure and residential areas in the districts of Gorlovka and Lugansk, currently under massive artillery fire by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Dozens have been reported only in the last hour.
      A few hours ago, the car of the head of the People’s Militia of the DPR Denis Sinyakov was blown up by Ukrainian saboteurs in the center of Donetsk
      At midnight on February 19, a critical element of the Luhansk People’s Republic infrastructure - the node of the Druzhba (Дружба) gas pipeline - exploded. The strong blast shook the whole of Lugansk.
      Another explosion in Lugansk thundered in the Kamennobrodsky district. A gas station was blown up there.
      A couple of hours before, two transformer substations in the Donetsk Republic were damaged by shelling. The Ukrainian army is deliberately destroying the infrastructure of Donetsk and Lugansk, thereby implementing the idea of the President of Ukraine of Zelensky’s “indomitable” nationality, that all residents of these regions who disagree with Ukrainian Government in Kiev should flee to Russia.
      The President of Ukraine, Zelensky: “I think that if you live today in the territory of Donbass, temporarily occupied, and you think that: “Our cause is right, we are Russians, we are going to Russia, it’s a big mistake to stay in Donbass…” For the future of their children and grandchildren… it is already necessary to go and look for a place in Russia. It is right. Because there will be no civilization on this territory without Ukraine. Ukraine will grow upwards, Donbass in the occupied form will not grow anywhere. There will be no happiness for these people.”
      At the same time, when there are massive shelling and terrorist attacks in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, US President Biden during a press conference accused the DPR and the LPR of violating the ceasefire and said that there is no evidence that Ukraine is preparing an attack.

      From 2018 The planning of WWIII.
      “A bipartisan commission appointed by Congress issued a lengthy report Tuesday backing the Pentagon’s plans to prepare for a “great-power” war against Russia, China, or both, making clear that the Trump administration’s belligerent policies are shared by the Democratic Party. Safe in the knowledge that its findings will never be seriously reported by the mass media, the authors of this report do not mince words about what such a war will mean. A war between the United States and China, which according to the report might break out within four years, will be “horrendous” and “devastating.” The military will “face greater losses than at any time in decades.” Such a war could lead to “rapid nuclear escalation,” and American civilians will be attacked and likely killed.
      It is impossible to understand anything in American politics without recognizing one fundamental reality: the events and scandals that dominate political discourse, which make it onto the evening news and into headlines on news sites and social media feeds, have precious little to do with the considerations of those who actually make decisions. The media talking heads play their assigned roles, knowing that the most important topics can be discussed only within very circumscribed limits.
      Those who actually make policy-a select group of high-ranking members of Congress, Pentagon officials, and think-tank staffers, as well as White House aides-speak an entirely different language among themselves, and in publications they know the general public will not read, and the media will not seriously report.

Even if not corrupt you can't simply send a lot of guns to people who have no command structure, no training, no strategy, etc. etc.

    Opening quote, - "If, we continue to maintain them militarily ..." In the words of the Sparta, 'If'. This has aged so poorly in just three days. Bakmut has fallen by a numerically inferior Russian force. Ukraine is out of air defense missiles and will soon be out of artillery shells. Ukraine had to divert their best equipped units to Bakmut just to extract their troops without completely losing them. There will be no Ukrainian "Offensive". What this MI6 guy does not understand is that if Russia loses there will be no more Russia. They will throw everything they have at this and are. I'm a nobody and I figured this out before they even attacked. Russia is up against a wall for their very survival and will do anything to win because they have no choice.

      I agree with you, but Zelensky was willing to sit down and work something out with the Russians in the spring of 2022, but was convinced to break off talks by Ukraine's western backers. Boris Johnson, then British PM flew out to Ukraine to personally assure him that he'd get all the military and financial support he'd need to carry on the war. Now a year later, we have a devastated land, tens (hundreds?) of thousands more dead and maimed, no end to the carnage in sight and zero chance of a negotiated settlement.
