I agree - there will be a terrible price to be paid for all the lives that have been lost or ruined.

The U.S. in particular, with it's murderous support of cult-like regimes, will not escape this cost.

This article and attending comments don't seem to make sense, in one particular detail: The article asserts that Ukraine is about to be abandoned by it's "proxy sponsors", then goes on to say this will reap a whirlwind of retribution from Ukraine, which, maybe, but if the US and EU abandon Ukraine, the first thing that's going to happen is Russia will complete taking over Ukraine, and won't all these "embittered" soldiers be more concerned with Russia than US and EU?

It isn't the US and EU traumatizing Ukraine, it's Putin and Russia.

You're late to the party and everything has changed now.

That said, Putin doesn't want Ukraine, he wants Ukraine to stop killing Russians, and he wants Azov Nazis out of Ukrainian politics.

And why are you posting on an ancient thread?

Great reporting. Have you seen much evidence overall regarding the black market in weapons that have been sent to Ukraine? I remember reading some have turned up in conflicts in Africa though I know it’s hard to track

You deserve more reader comments, Kit.

On related themes . . .

Of Washington's lost Ukrainian Proxy War to weaken Russia and pillage its resources, perhaps the greatest and most feckless imperial play, something of a progress update.

The long and rich history of the contemporary genocides of the cultured, cultivated Europeans, The Americans and the Brits., to nominate yet a few.

" . . . most Americans are armed to the teeth with their own guns . . . ".

Not those in Blunderland Down Under . . .

Tossing several grenades into a crowded meeting of un armored civilians resulted only in some INJURIES?

Bullshit. Tossing several flash bangs might do that little damage. Even "offensive grenades" (without fragments) would kill by shockwave inside a crowded enclosed space.

Angry vet made a statement. Hope this doesn't catch on at your local VA.

"blowback"? That implies that there was something surprising or unexpected to the planners. Its pretty clear now that 9/11 was no blockback. It was another CIA op, and it completely met its objectives. It was just "blow-up".

It’s quite possible that once US funding stops, so too will the Nazism. During the Libyan and Syrian Wars there were, as we all know, takfiri attacks, massive anti-Muslim propaganda and extraordinary security changes - remember Control Orders? Once US big business stopped getting a big enough cut, though, it all fizzled away like Covid fear.
