Our propaganda about the Ukraine war
Obviously we want the Russians kicked out of Ukraine, including the bit that they stole in 2014 when nobody helped Ukraine. Ukrainian forces have done better than we might have initially expected.
But let's have no doubt about it. Despite our propaganda the fact is that the Russians are winning. They can commit the greater number of soldiers, the better weaponry and more of it. If any of the major powers help Ukraine by more than Putin considers to be appropriate then the threat of nuclear war is more than hinted at.
For those who think that the Ukrainians are winning they should look at the daily wreckage of whole towns, cities and utility companies. As long as there are any Russian troops in Ukraine doing their carnage Russia is winning.
I do not doubt the quality of the Ukrainian armed forces. But they are literally outnumbered and outgunned. Our media are giving us the propaganda that survival is the same as winning. Until further notice we should regard Russia as heading towards a full win that would leave Ukraine as a flattened, contaminated wasteland, a shameful waste of lives on both sides, the shame being entirely on Putin.
