🧡: NATO and arms industry-funded 'think tank' @cepa offers explanation for blackout on Kiev's counteroffensive among #NAFO and Western media - being honest about how catastrophically it's going so far risks ending Western backing for the proxy war.

cepa.org/article/twitte… ImageImage
.@cepa acknowledges 2022 counteroffensive successful because "Ukraine faced overstretched, severely undermanned Russian units." This was observed by several analysts at the time, but dismissed as cope by #NAFO et al. Only now media admitting positions were effectively abandoned. ImageImageImage
Expectations for this counteroffensive not only high due to delusion and disinfo about last go around. Petraeus said it was "going to be very impressive". Perhaps covering for fact US was pressuring Kiev to go ahead with this, despite knowing the Ukrainians weren't ready. ImageImage
CEPA paints bleak picture of frontline, acknowledging Kiev effectively trying to do the impossible - "conduct large-scale combined arms maneuver operations against a near-peer or peer adversary" without air cover. Also admit "Russia [has achieved] some of its original goals." ImageImageImageImage
In sum @cepa effectively admitting what anti-war voices have consistently said - media (and pro-NATO 'think tanks') actively complicit in one way or another obscuring reality to keep this grinding on, and concealing proxy war's catastrophic human, material and financial cost.
CEPA of course has an obvious + massive vested interest in ensuring Western arms keep flowing into the conflict - ensuring profits of the numerous 'defense' contractors that fund it keep soaring. Why is the media helping them maintain the lie, do you think? ImageImageImageImage
ADDENDUM: In 2016, CEPA published a report calling for individuals exposed to Russian "disinformation" to be subjected to the same "deradicalisation" measures as "former Islamic radicals and far-right extremists." Oddly, this has since been removed from the web. Image
Amen.

🧡: Having reflected a lot on Kosovo lately due to the anniversary of NATO's criminal bombing, I'm struck by what an anachronism the wannabe country is today. It is the most pro-US place on Earth and constantly building yet more statues of its imperial masters. In 2025.
Many European citizens, and their leaders, despite knowing they're ultimately beholden to and captured by the US, are increasingly sceptical about US global leadership and *thinking* about pulling away, even if they're so entangled it's basically impossible. But not Kosovo.
Visit Pristina today. You'll see US and British flags everywhere, countless streets and squares namessafter officials involved in the bombing, statues of Blair and Clinton, signs thanking NATO...there's a *bit* of this elsewhere in C/E Europe but nothing remotely near this scale. Image

🧡: It says...a lot of things that at the end of April, an Israeli official boastfully admitted the Biden administration *never* once discussed a ceasefire with Tel Aviv at any point during the Gaza genocide, and this seismic revelation has already been forgotten. Image
The Biden administration eagerly aided and abetted a 21st century Holocaust, while lying they were working for peace, and left-leaning Americans and Democrats disgusted by Gaza were *explicitly* told to vote for Harris on the basis she was working "tirelessly" for a ceasefire. Image
Also forgotten is how Kamala Harris (remember her?) entire campaign was a massive financial fraud, and also somehow racist. Untold sums of money raised often to just raise more money, some spent on pointless stunts, while volunteers weren't given water.

Absolutely amazing excerpt: the UK has "always" believed the risk of deploying its forces to Ukraine was "too high". This is after months and months of bellicose statements from Starmer that he is "ready and willing to put British troops in Ukraine" 🀑🀑🀑🀑🀑 Image
All of the statements and pledges contained below never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening, it wasn't happening. The UK always believed it was too dangerous to deploy to Ukraine formally and would never dream of making such a commitment. Image

🧡: With news that Israel is still contemplating a "limited strike" on Iran, important to understand why the US is so resistant to this, why it would be a complete and utter disaster of epic proportions for the Empire, and why fears of a wider war on Iran are overblown...
Iran's strike on Israel last October was absolutely devastating. Its timing, scale, and severity caught Tel Aviv and the US completely off guard. A clear gauntlet was thrown down to both, and they had no response, apart from trying to downplay its impact.

US bases in West Asia are to significant extent relic of when Iran was Western puppet state under the Shah. Their proximity to Iran means the Islamic Republic would be able to take most of them out entirely with hypersonic and ballistic missiles almost instantly if war erupted. Image

Pretty astonishing that nine days after my investigation into how Ukraine is a British-led proxy war, and London was central to Kiev's disastrous 2023 counteroffensive, The Times publishes basically the same article with a bit more colour:

kitklarenberg.com/p/its-official…Image
Key point here that I've made again and again. Britain has been training fascist paramilitaries like Azov, Right Sector etc in Ukraine since 2015. This policy was influenced by Chris Donnelly, #IntegrityInitiative chief currently overseeing Britain's management of the proxy war. Image
2015 Kyiv Post article on the fascist paramilitary training program, quoting Chris Donnelly and Lithuanian ultranationalist Audrius Butkevicius. They plotted the 2022 attack on Kerch Bridge together.

🧡: Made this point in countless articles and interviews in past few months, but it bears repeating here: it is completely unfathomable that European leaders remain determinedly committed to keep the Ukraine proxy war when it is irretrievably lost for the West. And scary too...
By any objective measure, this has been a disaster on every conceivable level for Europe. They've deindustrialised, wrecked their economies, borderline disarmed by sending equipment to Kiev. The Russians are still marching, and the US - even if slowly - is backing off. It's over.
Only now are European leaders and their mainstream lackeys getting serious about rearmament, conscription, increased defence spending, etc. Their populations don't want any part of it, and nothing implemented now will be remotely meaningful in the short-term. It's all rhetoric. Image
