Hello Friends,
I wish to give you an update on the Ukraine War before the end of the year. I have not followed the Israeli-Palestinian thing very closely and don’t feel particularly interested in it at this point in time, to be honest. It’s a horrible tragedy, of course, but it’s impossible to follow everything- let alone care about everything- that is going on in the world at any time. Only God has the capacity to do that.
There have been elements of the globalist system that have attempted to give the flagging war prospects of NATO/Ukrainian forces a shot in the arm of late. Poland’s new globalist leader for example- fresh after his election victory against an incumbent who had signalled an end to his country’s involvement in the Ukraine War- is desperately trying to reverse the course set by his recently vanquished opponent. That is to say, he’s trying to gin up renewed support amongst Ukraine’s backers.
Further to this, Zelensky recently visited Washington to try and shore up the lagging support from his puppet masters. In co-ordination with this, US intelligence sources released their own casualty figures for Russian forces in the war so far, which indicated massive losses among Russian forces. According to the figures, there have been over 300,000 Russian casualties (killed and wounded) all up so far.
To be honest, these figures could potentially be accurate. But the manner in which they were released is clearly propaganda-based nonetheless. Why? Because, taken in isolation, these massive losses would give the impression that Ukraine is kicking butt. However, what the US intelligence sources conspicuously omitted from their release was Ukrainian casualties, which are likely up to a million high (killed and wounded). Without the complete context of losses on both sides, the US intelligence sources have deliberately, if in a subtle manner, tried to imply that Russia has suffered huge losses, while Ukraine hasn’t.
There have also been some media releases from various corporate media sources doubling down on the narrative that Ukraine can still win, etc, if only the US/NATO would double-down on support for NATO/Ukrainian forces. However, in my opinion, these calls are becoming more and more desperate and hysterical.
On the ground in the Ukraine, meanwhile, Kiev government forces are facing not only lagging support from their western sponsors, but an increasingly serious manpower shortage. The average age of Ukrainian army soldiers now is reportedly over 40, people in the Ukraine are increasingly pressganged into army service, and the Ukrainian government is ramping up efforts to coerce Ukrainian men of fighting age (who are refugees in other countries) back into the Ukraine, where they would be forced straight into the army and onto the front lines. Amidst this backdrop, there has been talk from Zelensky and others of mobilizing another half-a-million soldiers to use as cannon fodder.
The prevailing narrative now, even among globalist/western establishment media sources, is that the war is in a stalemate. The situation for the NATO/Ukrainian forces on the battlefield must be very grim indeed for the western political/media establishment to admit to a stalemate.
To get a feel for just how grim the situation is for the Ukrainian military, I recommend a good (!) article from the New York Times (!), titled, ‘Ukrainian marines on suicide mission in crossing the Dnipro River’. The caption under the title reads, ‘Soldiers frustrated by positive reports from Ukrainian officials break their silence, describing the effort as brutalizing and, ultimately, futile’.
It’s a recent article and rather long. Rather than summarize it for you, I post a link:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/16/worl ... ussia.html
From around the same time (about six days ago as I write this post), there was a good (!) article from CNN (!). Outlets like New York Times and CNN are generally pro-war, New World Order trash that I wouldn’t pay much attention to. However, when even outlets like these are admitting that the NATO/Ukrainian war effort is struggling, it is very noteworthy. It remains to be seen why these outlets are suddenly telling the truth and doing proper journalism about Ukraine. But it just may be that the globalist agenda is preparing to throw Ukraine under the bus. Let’s see.
The title of the CNN piece is, ‘Analysis: Ukraine has had a terrible week. Blame the US and EU’. The piece admits (and outlines) how Ukraine is in a dire situation on the battlefield, and increasingly struggling on the diplomatic and foreign-backing front. The takeaway from the piece is that- on its current trajectory- Ukraine could lose the war.
I will not summarize, but provide the link below:

Lastly, I wish to refer you to a good piece from a more unknown (online) outlet called, ‘Counter Currents’. This item is only a day or two old, and is titled, ‘Ukraine’s counteroffensive has failed, says Czech President’. The Czech President- just like the New York Times and CNN, et all- has a pro-NATO, pro-war disposition. These frank assessments that are currently doing the rounds from establishment sources tend to be made through clenched teeth, rather than any positive feelings toward Russia.
The first section of the article deals with the obvious failure of the counteroffensive- now common knowledge- while the next section of the article deals with Ukrainian casualty numbers (delving into an area which US intelligence sources clearly don’t like to discuss).
While different figures are thrown around, and Russia’s losses are no doubt also huge and equally difficult to ascertain, it seems that approximately 600-800 Ukrainian soldiers are killed or wounded every day (on average). This is an unsustainable level of attrition for a relatively small country. It’s interesting to note that official Russian estimates of Ukrainian losses are far more conservative than the ridiculously high casualty figures put out by the Ukrainian government re: Russian losses. One could only speculate as to why the Russians are more circumspect with their release of enemy losses. But they are also no angels, and there are no doubt propaganda-related purposes behind their broader rationale.
In the last section of the article, Ukraine’s increasingly serious manpower shortage is outlined. That’s the end of my post today. If you have half-an-hour or so, I suggest you get yourself a coffee or whatever you like to drink, and read the three articles linked within my post. Here is the link to the third:

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and positive start to the New Year. I’ll get back to you with more updates sometime soon. 2024 will be a huge year, and will no doubt include a mix of highs and lows, and probably some shocks. My advice would be to draw nearer to God, and constantly seek His help to assist you in reading the signs of the times.
Lastly, let’s pray that the coming year could see a drawdown to the fighting in Ukraine, and a real reduction in the killing and broader suffering.
Til next time.
