This should have been over in March, so it’s not real.

The Russians are now paying the price for being too liberal. They need to pull on their boots of 1942. They could and should have crushed the Uke NATO-proxies in days.
What’s with the fascination with cities anyway? That goes against all sensible military thinking. Wipe out the field army and the cities are yours anyway.
Have the Russians taken a “retired” American admiral out of Azovstal steel works? Does this account for the recent diplomatic activity?

In the middle of the 19th century, the British Empire ran into what what would today be termed a “public relations crisis”.
Influential domestic voices were starting to criticise its industrial system and worldwide domination on ethical grounds, not least the art critic John Ruskin.
He wrote that all he had found at the heart of what was supposedly a great civilization was “insane religion, degraded art, merciless war, sullen toil, detestable pleasure, and vain or vile hope”.
Lack of public support for the empire at home from the wave of “Little Englander” sentiment also risked affecting the way Britain’s activities were viewed abroad.
As Carroll Quigley writes, its success was partly due to “its ability to present itself to the world as the defender of the freedoms and rights of small nations and of diverse social and religious groups”.
