For several days now, I've been turning more pessimistic of Putin succeeding in his attempt to take Ukraine, or even Kyiv, much less his ability to hold either. And along the way, I've seen Biden derided for 'not leading, not doing enough'. I've seen doomsaying. I've seen some claim President Zylenksy is martyring himself.
However, I will once again say,
'We should not count Ukraine out', and not assume things are not happening behind the scenes. Because apparently, much is happening behind the scenes!
This CNN article is chock-full of info, and I think it's worth a more thorough read (it's not long). I tried to capture the most newsworthy bits in my excerpts.
But, I must draw your attention to my last, bottom-most excerpt; the excerpt explaining the lack of progress in the 'Russian 40 Mile Supply Convoy'. Yep. Uh-huh. Now, we know!
As I earlier said, and actually have said for days, I suspect there's a lot going-on behind the scenes, that we're not aware:
"Ladies & Gentlemen, I believe we now have a proxy war!"
Yep. I really am coming to believe it - a proxy war!
So now, there is one type of doomsayer, who I suppose I will now have to entertain more seriously:
"Those who believe we are heading into WW-3!"
I can't say I'm panicked or overly concerned about a World War, but I must admit I do believe we are in a proxy war, and that is an edge closer to the possibility.
Also, given my OP article, I think we now know why Putin is acting so savagely, and has virtually committed his entire military into this endeavor. He
knows it's a proxy war, 'Him against the world'!
