The West’s failed Ukraine project has forced us to confront a bewildering array of what look like instances of stupidity, verging even on psychosis. Competent analysts like John Mearsheimer and Jacques Baud confirmed the obvious: total defeat for Ukraine has been inevitable from the get-go, yet the politicians and media kept telling us Ukraine was sure to win, and even if Ukraine lost, at least Putin could easily be removed from office.
To me, the most puzzling of all the many mystifying occurrences was the failure of the U.S. to arrange for a greater output of necessary military supplies, especially artillery shells. If I were planning to go to war with nearly everyone in order to take over the world, I think I would make sure to have enough shells coming off the production lines, not to mention tanks, missiles, and jet fighters.
So outrageous were the screw-ups, we found it hard to dismiss the nagging suspicion that this was an elaborate façade. Behind it all, there must surely be some marvelously deep and intricate conspiracy, some form of quantum chess that would make it all come out right, or perhaps fiendishly wrong. But no, we eventually had to conclude that everything was just as thoroughly bungled and botched as it appeared on the surface, in the sorry mode of U.S. debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan. And just to remove the slightest doubt, we’ve now witnessed the U.S., freshly defeated by the Houthis in Yemen, still fondly dreaming about starting a war with China!
