Mike Whitney – The Unz Review Apr 26, 2024
Here’s what everyone needs to understand about Ukraine:
The United States has already moved on to Plan B. No, the Biden administration has not issued an official statement on the matter, but the shift has already begun. The Washington Brain-trust has abandoned any hope of winning the war outright (Plan A) and has, thus, adopted a different strategy altogether. (Plan B)
Plan B is a combination of two main elements:
- A—A Strategy of Denial, which is ‘a defensive approach designed to stop an adversary’ from achieving its goals. In this case, the objective is to prolong the conflict for as long as possible to prevent Russian from achieving a clear victory. That is the top priority.
- B—To continue to increase and intensify asymmetrical attacks on vital infrastructure and civilian areas in Russia proper in order to inflict as much damage on Russia as possible.
This, in essence, is Plan B. Any concern for the Ukrainian people or the future viability of the Ukrainian state, have not been factored in to Washington’s cynical calculation. What matters is preventing a Russian victory and inflicting as much pain on Russia as possible. Those are the primary objectives. In practical terms, that means that more Ukrainian soldiers will be slaughtered wholesale in order to continue using Ukraine as a launching pad for attacks on Russia. In fact, UK warlords have already confirmed what we are saying here. Check out this excerpt from an article at Zero Hedge:
… UK defense chief, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, telling Financial Times that the West’s new infusion of military aid will help Ukraine increase its long-range strikes on Russian territory:
Ukraine is set to increase long-range attacks inside Russia as an influx of western military aid aims to help Kyiv shape the war “in much stronger ways”, the head of the UK military has said….
Adm. Radakin continued, “As Ukraine gains more capabilities for the long-range fight . . . its ability to continue deep operations will [increasingly] become a feature” of the war…… More of Radakin’s words point to escalation (and not negotiations) in the following… UK Defense Chief Says Ukraine To Increase Long-Range Strikes In Russia, Zero Hedge
See what I mean? This is Plan B spelled out in black and white. There is no longer any expectation that Ukraine will win the war. None. The country will merely be used as a platform for hectoring, harassing and terrorizing the Russian people. That’s Plan B in a nutshell.
But how can we be certain that Plan B has already begun?
First, consider the allocation of resources provided under the new “National Security Supplemental” that Biden signed into law earlier this week. The bill provides $61 billion for Ukraine, of which a mere $13 billion will be spent on weapons and weapons systems. How is that paltry sum going to help defeat the Russian Army?
Keep in mind, the US and NATO allies have already spent more than $200 billion funding the war in Ukraine, and the Ukrainians are losing. How is another $13 billion supposed to make a difference?
It won’t, nor is it intended to. As we said earlier, the real purpose of the money is to prevent a clear Russian victory by launching random attacks on critical infrastructure and civilian areas in Russia. Once you understand that the basic operational plan has changed, developments on the ground begin to make sense. The goal is to antagonize a geopolitical rival not to win a war. Capisce?
Here’s what the $61 billion aid package will not do: (According to political analyst Ted Snider)
It will not provide enough money. It will not provide the badly needed weapons, nor deliver them on time. It will not provide the even more badly needed troops. And it will not provide victory…..Though $61 billion is a massive amount of money, it is not massive enough to defeat Russia. What $61 Billion for Ukraine Won’t Do, The American Conservative
It’s worth noting, that most of Ukraine’s best-trained combat units have already been obliterated. They’re gone. That has forced the Zelensky regime to abduct men off the streets of Kiev and send them into battle with just two-weeks training, which is why casualties are so high. No one believes that these “green recruits” are going to rout the Russian Army or even slow its inexorable advance. No one. These men are simply being sacrificed so Washington can continue to launch its drone attacks on Russian oil facilities near Moscow or bomb civilian villages on the Russian border or conduct airstrikes on the Kerch Bridge . In other words, this ongoing orgy of carnage is being perpetuated so that deranged western elites can continue to deliver glancing blows that the Russian bear brushes off like a pesky mosquito. That is the value these billionaire elites place on human life. It means nothing to them. Check out this clip from an article by Scott Ritter:
US President Joe Biden recently signed a long-delayed $95 billion package, including $61 billion in aid for Ukraine, into law. At least $13.8 billion of this sum will be used to deliver weaponry, such as long-range ATACMS missiles and F-16 fighter jets….
“The $13.8 billion in military assistance that will be provided to Ukraine will be insufficient to basically halt the ongoing Russian advance,” and “to change the outcome on the battlefield,” he stated….
Russia currently enjoys “military superiority, if not outright supremacy, along the entire line of contact, not just on the front lines, but extending well into the rear areas of the Ukrainian defense areas.”… Scott Ritter: Hefty US Military Aid for Ukraine Won’t Hamper Russia’s Strategic Advantage, Sputnik
The American people who foolishly believe that the new supplemental aid package will help to expel the “evil” Russians from Ukraine are living in La la land. Nothing could be further from the truth. No one who follows events on the ground thinks Ukraine has any chance of beating a well-equipped and highly-motivated Russian Army that boasts nearly unlimited reserves, unlimited industrial capacity, unlimited resources and a firm conviction that the West is using Ukraine to break up their country and install its own puppet in Moscow. That’s what they are fighting for, and that’s why they’re going to win. Here’s more from Snider:
“$61 billion will not change the outcome of this war,” Nicolai Petro, Professor of Political Science at the University of Rhodes and the author of The Tragedy of Ukraine, (According to) Valery Zaluzhny…..That… would require five to seven times that amount, or $350-400 billion.” (But) Even if the money was sufficient, it would not provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs because the weapons are not available for purchase. (According to) Retired U.S. Army Colonel Daniel Davis, Senior Fellow at Defense Priorities: “even if you get the money, you’re not going to have the number of artillery shells, interceptor missiles for air defense. You can’t make the artillery shells any faster than we are right now. It’s a matter of physical capacity: we can’t do it.”…
Even if the West could provide Ukraine with the weapons on time, the “big problem for Ukraine,” Davis says, is not the provision of weapons, but the “manpower issue.” Ukraine’s losses on the battlefield, to death and injury, have left Ukraine with a bigger manpower problem than artillery problem…. even if the U.S. gave Ukraine all the weapons it needed, they “don’t have the men to use them.” What $61 Billion for Ukraine Won’t Do, The American Conservative
This is all pretty basic stuff. Obviously, if you don’t have the men or the money or the weapons, you’re going to lose. And, the maniacal stewards of this failed anti-Russia crusade KNOW that Ukraine is going to lose, but they’ve chosen to continue the war anyway. Why?
Because the lives, and the destruction, and the dissolution of the Ukrainian state don’t matter to them. All that matters is inflicting pain on Russia, whatever the cost. That is the ‘noble cause’ for which 500,000 Ukrainians have given their lives. And that is why this bloody debacle continues to drag on endlessly even though the outcome has never been in doubt.
Plan A was war, which they lost. Plan B is state terrorism. It won’t win the war but it can devastate a population and government and is very difficult to prevent every event.
If the US resorts to terror thinking a successful atrocity is a PR win until Russia proves they did it, Russia may need to ban westerners from the country. Many Russians do look like westerners but as they speak flawless Russian and generally know Russian history if asked a few questions, that could make it more difficult for western saboteurs and special forces to move freely in.
These aren’t plans, or even strategies.
The Nazis are doing the best they can.
For instance, the Nazi UK engages in acts of terrorism, because they don’t have the means, or balls to fight Russia in an open declared war.
Nazi Amerika has more or less said the same thing. ‘We are getting great value, and no Amerikan Nazis are dying’.
The problem, deep sect players believed they could retake the Dombas, and then move on Crimea. This was just a public school boys fantasy. Others just wanted to push Russia over the edge with sanctions, blocking access to SWIF, and the general stress of war, would topple Putin. It was never going to work.
They never had a serious plan, and as you work your way through these not so serious plans, they should evolve, but they didn’t, because the Nazis haven’t fought peer war since Vietnam, and even the VC weren’t recognised as a peer foe, but the VC used tactics the Amerikan Nazis didn’t expect, just as the Nazis didn’t expect the Russians to use drones effectively.
Just because Washington and London use a different word set, doesn’t mean this is plan B, or plan C.
All the top pundits says the Nazis would be fools to put their own boots in UKraine, but it appears they’ve done so.
Even the FFL only have light African experience. They are going to die, and there’s massive ‘sheeple dipping’, where regular Nazi NATO soldiers are offered fake resignations, massive pay offs, and a promise to return to their regular outfits, assuming this ends, and they live.
This isn’t a new strategy, it’s an escalation. This was never a proxy war when the SMO started. Huge numbers of their own standing armies are fighting in UKraine, or will soon be in UKraine, and the mercenaries are on top of these numbers.
This is a mess for NATO Nazis, and a brain wave function mess for Putin, who has been far to weak.
None of this would be happening if Russia had done my suggested 6 day shock and awe, and on the 7th day, used two tactical nukes on two random West UKrainian towns/cities, and two more each day thereafter until unconditional surrender. It would’ve saved so many sheeple’s lives and stopped the Nazis in their tracks.
The proof that the Nazis had no plan, or serious strategy, is that NATO is broken. Many countries want out. Germany being one of them.
I am sure the Germans gamed what other NATO members positions were, and decided they were at best a joke, so half heartedly went along to save face.
Macron is an idiot, because the Africans have slapped this gay boy in the chops and the Russians have been welcomed. This is a huge economic blow for France, so Macron is scrambling for traction, and the only place he can do that, is in UKraine, and if he sends enough bodybags, maybe other Nazi states will send in more body bags.
PCR says Putin has been a fool, but PCR says this for all the wrong reasons.
Very wrong analysis–White people are getting killed or weakened, so this is a perfect success for the Scum. No-one was trying to “win”
@ Lewis..
Yes..
..Whitney pushes narrative…he’s one of the spinners of tales for the so called alternative faction of the ‘cystem’..the pipers of Pan..the pied pipers..
…in musical composition you would call it counterpoint..as Mikey boy and all his affiliates trundle down the major scale, fox news and cnn and the maggot media move up the major scale…thus creating a third component.. the harmony.. which stitches together the ahem.. ‘major’ premise..and that being.. the fake war has a specific aim and one which steers muggle perception (such as it is)..according to the very loose and arbitrary ‘facts’ they pull out of their collective arses.. these so called facts sit on top of the dungheap and could be viewed as the melody..(of sorts).
.. of course it’s all total cobblers.. and piss poor composition.. not worthy of a whistle ..
THE US ARMY ID FULL OF POOFS
look up the rochdale scandal where year afteryear up to 1500 white christian girls were serially raped and 3 killed by muslims

Hariet harmans uncle lord Longford in the Longford Documents went into prisons to talk to child sex killers
this like the nene report was D noticed and shredded by Tony Blair
it linked pedophilia to homo sexuality

lewis jones: white has nothing to do with it. They are Nazis and the Baltic’s, Finland, and Poland are in the Nazi queue. They can have their fight with Russia, if they thing they’re hard enough. Just because they are white, doesn’t make it a white thing.
What are they fighting over?
Was the US ZOG plan to provoke Russia into a major war to go after their resources and its domination over most of Asia and die Welt as Putin has indicated??
But if Russia is not also a ZOG nation then is it not expansionist and wants the whole of the Ukraine, not for its people but for its rich resources and it strategic geography both militarily and commercially???
Or is the main reason for the war with similar materialistic and power mogul motivations on both sides?
Has not each side got enough or is the West (the US and the EU) running out of steam in becoming resource depleted and if so how can it just take what does not belong to it??
Was it not the provoking by the West and in the setting up of a ZOG regime in the Ukraine that the divisions between the Russian-speaking and Ukrainian speaking people in the land were provoked to the violence in the Donbass which was then increased by the ZOG Zenensky regime to provoke Russia into the invasion??
Who ought to decide the fate of the Ukraine and the Ukrainian people??
Expansionist Russia ??? Absolutely Not!!!
The the plundering, selfish, and dishonest West ??? Absolutely Not!!
The corrupt UN and the globalist who delight in the peril for a globalist NWO solution??? Absolutely Not!!
Should only the people of the Ukraine decide??? How can they? It is not the most corrupt place in the world. Any election would be totally rigged and having the money power of the West and the armies of Russia retreat for a “free” vote left to the people is likely too late, unless there was some way the people could vote without being bribed, induced, or intimidated by the numerous grasping foreign interests in that nation exploiting it.
The mess in the Ukraine is clearly a result of various foreign “top-down” powers manipulating and controlling the people of that nation, likely with the total cooperation of their own corrupt establishment. They are likely a people no different for the West and in Russia who now have no real basis to know the difference between right and wrong and what they want, and so, as always, when people turn away from God and a faith in his laws to guide them, they are left to their own devices and they end up in huge wars, destroying everything in site and killing tens of millions of innocent people. Then in the aftermath they turn around and blame God for their stupidity and arrogance, saying “How could he allow this to happen?”.
MM: believe me, MI6, and to some extent, the CIA, has big well established 5th columns in Russia. They are well connected, well financed, even wealthy. While Putin has mostly left them alone, he doesn’t want a Stalin like purge, or to become even remotely like Stalin. Putin never moved on the financial classes, who were very Western aligned, but when the sanctions came in, these Western aligned behaved impeccably, to protect the Russian financial system and economy. The Russian Jews are the same. They don’t support Israel or Nazi Amerika, and I’m sure quite a lot of pressure has been applied, but it’s not worked.
Take Medvedev, the former Russian President. He was seen by the Nazis as very Western aligned, more pro West than Putin, but Medvedev is now a Russian hawk. Of course, most of hit comments are for the home audience, and to piss of the Nazis.
More a script .. to get Americans out of their programming when losing allmost everything .. ‘the Biden’ is happily guiding events to the point of a nuclear stand off ..
I wrote a comment to this same article on Unz:
https://www.unz.com/comments/all/?commenterfilter=Yukon+Jack
Note: I am on some kind of restrictive status on Unz, not sure why, I did not violate any rules – and for one thing the mods will not publish your comment anyways.
The only thing that seems logical is that my comments are over the target and taking flak, and the Jewish censors on Unz don’t like it. But I do not know, because I do not know who the censors are.
Kike no like YJ
LOLROFL
the only site I actually miss commenting is Lasha Darkmoon – man those were the days when I could rip the Bible believers
“youcon jackoff how dare you say Jesus is not real”
The headline graphic of Zelensky with Ursula von der Lying is awesome.
The power of a meme to convey a message. Except Ursula should be the one behind Zelensky, and behind Ursula should be Rothschild.
Billionaire Jews control the Gentile states. ZOG.
EU president Von der Stupid is simply the selected whore dumbass reading the script. Ursula is a proud and arrogant geisha girl. A literal sex whore and political whore. And she is not the decider of jack shit.
The Titanic going down are the ZOG nation states like the EU and Amerika.
When Russia takes Ukraine, I wonder what the crazy biatch will say to save her ass.
But the real big event coming soon is when Israel fails. Israel has already had it’s credit rating lowered twice – even with massive ZOGUSA bailouts.
Man, it will be fun to watch Israel collapse and the Jew gypsies fleeing.
Carl Jones–in my analysis, both Hitler’s Germany and the Ukrainians were given eight to ten years to collect up all the people who were capable of becoming Race nationalists and hating Jews. Arranged in neat serried ranks they were available to be shot down. It is a big harvest for the Jews. Meanwhile we have dozens of separate reasons to say that White people are under general attack, including some bald statements by professors, who take no punishment for their opinions. (And I like chesterton’s remarks)
there are only 2 groups of people jews and goyim
all goyim are natzis
they will be removed from the earth
when jews are in total control which is very soon
death to all natzis
I think in the end only chabad lubawitch USA and chabad lubawitch russia
(rabbi lazar) and sanhedrin israel will end this chessgame only to the
advantage to their tribe without considering Amalek .
it seems of all warplans the talmudists 3000 years old plan to eradicate the white Amalek from earth is the most efective since the goyim are too sleepy
to comprehent such evilness .
@DANNY COHEN
the real ruthless nazis are the talmudists and zionists .
Gaza/Westbank,Mossads 9.11.,Beirut port nuked, Bali,
Syria,Mossads steering India/Tamil Tiger conflict has
shown jew evilness to the world like your evil heard .
Danik Owen–it is the other way round: all Jews are Nazis and the Gentiles are nearly all castrati
