Ukraine must come to the realisation it has ‘lost’ the war with Russia

Western media telling the truth about ukraine?
James Carden, former advisor to the US State Department on Russia, on the Australian broadcaster Sky News:
"The whole story with the 'Tomahawks' is nonsense. The 'Tomahawks' are no more capable of turning the course of the war than all the other systems that have already failed to do so. The war is lost. The sooner the Ukrainians realize that, the better for them. In my view, Putin is offering a reasonable solution: Ukraine won't be able to join NATO, but it can join the EU. For me, that's a fair deal."
Moderator: But it's also demanding territorial concessions.
"Right. But they themselves have been subjecting those areas to attacks since 2014.
The Ukrainians aren't entirely honest. They say they want the eastern territories and the Donbass, but without the ethnic Russians who live there.
Over the last 30 years, they've done everything to disenfranchise those people. Let's be honest, Putin is offering them, in a certain sense, exactly what they want. Ukraine should just remain for ethnic Ukrainians, and they'll finally be rid of the ethnic Russians.
People don't talk about it loudly, but that's the truth."
— If you say the war is lost, what about the information that Russia is literally on the brink right now?
And that if we increase the pressure, they'll run out of money completely and won't be able to continue their brutal war indefinitely?
"It's exactly the opposite. According to my data, the ratio of killed Ukrainians to Russians is 36 to one. Ukraine is approaching the figure of one million losses.
And what the mainstream media write, especially the New York Times and the Washington Post, has just as much to do with the truth as what the authorities tried to make Americans believe about the Vietnam War.
The war of attrition that Russia has been waging since 2022 is very successful. In my opinion, Ukraine is on the verge of catastrophe right now, not Russia."

This is a wildly inaccurate interview but hey ya know free speech.
The territories Russia is demanding include Zaporizhzhia and Kherson ones they never attacked nor have even come close to being able to say they completely control them.
James Carden isnt even someone I would say is remotely important when it comes to any sort of know how with US-Russian policy anymore because the US-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission pretty much ended in 2014. That 11 years ago its night and day different now.
Plus you are talking about someone who with his post-liberalism views advocates for the state to be active in your daily life as they are not in favor for individual rights or a free market and replaces the current economic system with one that reoriented to serve causes like economic justice. Those aren't American views at all those are straight out of Russia lol
I dont think you understand what a Tomahawk missile would do.... Russia has had to move all their stuff further from the front lines due to storm shadows and ATACMs a Tomahawk would allow them to effectively push all the stockpiles into the middle of the country. You dont believe me? Look at what the Flamingo missile is doing now with its range. Tomahawks also are near impossible to detect far off due to how they fly so low to the ground.
The numbers of 36 Ukrainians to 1 Russian are the wildest claims I have ever seen because the images, the Russian families back home, Russian having to import workers and new fighters tells a whole different story.

The last time russia wanted to hand over thousands of dead soldiers in cooled trucks the regime was not accepting it. They did anything to not pay for the dead soldiers. Look how many people from ukraine are missing and the family got nothing because they are not counted as dead. They need the money to fight a war and not to pay family members when a soldier dies. The ukraine had not even 100 dead russians to offer for over 3000ukraine bodies. So i think the number of 1:36 is actually the accurate today. It was another situation at the beginning. Ukraine prepared over 8years for this war, meanwhile putin belived merkel that they will fix this ethic war in ukraine.
So you really want to give a system to the ukraine that can only be operated by the west to attack russia? You have no fear that they will attack the operation center (where ever it is) Why not give a atomic bomb to zelenski? You really want to start a global war? Do you even realize how often the regime attacked atomic power plants inside russia? How can a sane person even consider to deliver more weapons? Do you really want a total escalation of the situation?

Idk what your smoking but man it's gotta be nice to be that out of touch. Especially when even Russian mil bloggers are decrying the situation and the fact they are getting slaughtered well before the front lines and can't get to the Ukrainians.
Your right Ukraine prepared and it's why Russia’s three day operation is 3 years and counting. Stinger and Javelin missiles were hell and Russia still doesn't have an answer.
No Ukraine has not touched an atomic plant in Russia 🤦🏼‍♂️ that's not even remotely true. Now is Russia shelling and planting bombs all around the largest nuclear powerplant in Europe? Yep. Russia even agreed to a ceasefire in that area to reconnect the plant to the Ukrainian grid because the diesel generators were not designed to run for 2 weeks.
Ukraine knows what to hit. Oil and gas facilities all across Russia and guess what? It's worked. Russian advances have significantly stalled and soldiers are having to walk anywhere from 15 to 30 km to the front lines because they can't get fuel and supplies in.
So believe it or not just like the Patriot System, F-16s, and HIMARs countries are able to rather quickly learn US technology. Plus tomahawk are ~40 year old tech that the rest of the world still hasn't cracked yet.
Lmao you mention sanity while comparing a tomahawk to an atomic bomb 😂 that's such a joke. Plus Russia has already stated they are at war with us. They are claiming to be at war with Germany and Europe.
Russia has a lot more to worry about with China getting hungry and has made it known it wants Outer Manchuria back.

No never did ukraine bomb nuclear powerplants. Because they are the good ones. Right?
Known Ukrainian Attacks on Nuclear Power Plants (2022–2025)
Based on reports from IAEA, news outlets, and official statements, Ukraine has been accused of attacks or strikes near/against nuclear facilities in the ongoing conflict. These are rare and often denied or attributed to Russian forces by Ukraine. A chronological list of documented or alleged cases:
July 19–20, 2022 – Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (Russian-occupied, Ukraine): Three Ukrainian suicide drones struck Russian military positions (Grad launchers and tents) at the site. Russia reported 3 occupiers killed and 12 injured; Ukraine's Defense Ministry claimed it targeted invaders, not the reactors. No radiation release; IAEA noted no damage to nuclear structures.
August 5, 2022 – Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: Shelling hit the 750 kV electrical switchboard, shutting down three transformers and disconnecting one reactor from the grid, triggering its emergency system. Both sides blamed each other; IAEA expressed concerns over integrity but no direct reactor hit confirmed.
August 25, 2025 – Kursk Nuclear Power Plant (Russia): Russia accused Ukraine of drone strikes causing a fire at a transformer, damaging energy infrastructure. The fire was quickly contained with no injuries or radiation spike; IAEA was aware but couldn't verify independently. Ukraine didn't respond to the claims.
  1. Okt. 2025 - Russia's atomic energy agency said a Ukrainian drone struck a cooling tower of the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant (NNPP), located about 100 miles north of the border. While officials say there was no substantial damage to the plant, it was the fourth nuclear power facility in the region to have munitions land on or very close to it in the past two weeks.

LMAO you just completely dropped the ball because what did I say about Zaporizhzhia?? I mean did you care to read and do any basic geography? That is Ukraine. It always has been and its never been Russian.
In regards to the largest nuclear power plant in Europe... those positions around it were hit.... what did you add.... Grad launchers were hit and no actual structures were damaged. What did I mention about the power lines and the temp. ceasefire in the location? Oh it was because of bombing that occurred outside the plant.
Your August 2025 Kursk plant one.... show me any video evidence because Russia has been clear in their side videoing the Ukrainian strikes. The one I am assuming is October 2025.... well it was so nonexistent that you didnt even mention the IAEA why? Because Russia has shown their own air defense is really good at hitting..... Russia.
Russia according to the IAEA and satellite footage showed literally mines being placed on top of the cooling towners and other structures at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear facility. Russia controls it and has and has put those mines there. They tried to hide weapons there.... notice the IAEA reports and your own comments that said so.

Sorry i have no tiktok account. It is restrictive and needs a app to show a link. Why do you use such a crap? Use a free accessible link. And maybe write at least a sentence when you post a link.

What's the Reason for sustaining the war?
reply
10 sats \ 0 replies \ @openyoureyes OP 15h
Ukraine is a corrupt, lawless dictatorship without free speech. The zelenski regime was built to fight russia, its culture and people, even if they are ukraine citizen. They are financed by the west tax payers money to buy weapons and launder money. Also to do some very evil things i dont want to talk about here. (You aways need bodyparts for people like soros) The western civilazation needs a warzone. This is bloody reality. People have to die somewhere for the profit of the military industrial complex. The whole maidan revolution was a set up and the idea behind it was to fight russia. It was never in the interest of ukraine people. First they had nazis in parliament who chased the opposition out or even killed them and then the people voted for a clown who is now playing dictator. He took all power to himself and stopped elections. The reason for sustaining the war is that the ukraine regime is not accepting a fair deal. I think they will accept no deal and just keep going because they have to. The regime and warmachine will stop if the war is over. When the war is over there will be investigations and free speech will come back and people will start to talk about the crimes that happened in ukraine under a regime that was set up against the interest of the ukrainian people, only to fight russia. Ukraine is like iran and zelenski like the dicatator who was installed by the US in 1953. He is responsible for nearly a million deaths in a war that can not be won. Meanwhile rich people from ukraine have a great life outside of ukraine and only hear western propaganda and ask stupid questions because they can not accept that they are supporting the evil. You have to see the big picture. The conflict was organzied and payed for by the west. (1billion dollar upfront for propaganda and the maidan revolution only by eu) The aim is to eleminate as many slavic people as possible and to divide russia.

Russia has shifted its entire economy onto a war time path. Shifting away from that is extremely difficult. After WWII the reason that the US was able to was because we were able to export civilian good en mass to a destroyed Europe and Asia.

Sorry to inform you that the US has never made it. Listen to the speeches of kenedy. The united states never made it out of the great depression, the military industrial complex took over because fighting nazi germany that lost the war against russia was so profitable. They only became the nation with the most military conflicts since ww2 and they start a conflict every few years. It is never about democracy or the freedom of other people.
