The Unz Review
I know I’ve said it six million times, but the Ukraine war on the ground is virtually irrelevant in comparison to the effects of the Ukraine war on geopolitics.
It would have mattered if Russia could have lost, but they can’t lose. The critics are now saying they are winning too slowly, but even if that weird claim were true, it is irrelevant.
Last week, a very big development happened: China sent armored trucks to Chechnya.

I had asserted from the beginning that China would not let Russia lose the war, because China cannot afford to have Russia fall to the West.
Several well-known right-wing commentators were saying that China would never commit material to Russia’s war effort, even whilst they’ve already committed in full to propping up Russia’s economy. They were wrong and I was right (as usual).
I don’t even bother to follow the day-to-day of the war. It’s too autistic. And it does not matter.
What matters is that because the US started this psycho war on purpose, then used it as an excuse to try to collapse the government of Russia through sanctions, the whole world is in the process of cutting ties to the Americans.
It was pure hubris that led the US to think they could use the Ukraine as a battering ram to bring down the Russian state. This will be the downfall of the Anal Empire.
All the things that I said would happen are happening.
It would be too much to say that the Russians planned it this way. Clearly, they did not. We can see from the initial invasion that Putin and Lavrov assumed that the US would negotiate. Anyone who suggests that the Russians are so stupid they believed they could conquer a nation of 40 million people with 150,000 soldiers is just lying to you. The initial invasion was obviously a negotiation tactic.
What they ended up with – the whole world on their side, and a lead role in the new world order – is more than they could have ever hoped for…
