🧵 How the US/NATO Destroyed Itself in Ukraine
The John McCain video clip linked below marked the beginning of the US/NATO creation of #TheMotherOfAllProxyArmies in Ukraine.
The Obama administration significantly expanded the training and arming of the Ukrainian military, and the integration of the AFU with NATO communications, intelligence, and chain of command.
The training and arming of the AFU expanded further and accelerated during the Trump 45 period. In particular, the training of Ukrainian forces in the use of US/NATO heavy weaponry was expanded and accelerated — all in anticipation of the eventual delivery of these systems to Ukraine to be used against Russia.
The US/NATO was also directly involved in the design and construction of the complex string of fortified zones throughout the Donbass, against which they believed they could lure the Russians to smash themselves to pieces.
The empire was convinced they had the perfect recipe to inflict upon the Russians an overwhelming strategic defeat that would collapse Russia's economy and the Putin regime.
They lusted after the spoil of Russia's vast natural resources, and imagined they could dissect Russia into bite-sized pieces to be consumed over the course of decades to come.
All of their best-laid plans have now proven to be huge miscalculations.
Here at the end of 2025, in addition to the great slaughter inflicted upon Ukrainian manpower, and the astounding attrition of NATO arms and equipment, Russia has become exceedingly more powerful in every key respect: geopolitically, economically, diplomatically, and militarily.
Concurrently, the US/NATO have been exposed as far less formidable than they were generally perceived to be in 2022.

Speaking of 2022, this 29-post Twitter thread was one of my earliest analyses of the war that is now rapidly approaching its ultimate conclusion. It was my commentary on the evisceration of the first iteration of #TheMotherOfAllProxyArmies in Ukraine.

A few days later (July 8, 2022), I expanded that 29-post thread into my first formal blog post — which, at that time, I could not imagine would be more apropos now than it was then:
