Please keep that in mind when commentating.<\/p>\n<p>Washington&#8217;s moment of recognizing the defeat in Ukraine, and its consequences, has yet to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>In his latest <a href=\"https:\/\/seymourhersh.substack.com\/p\/zelenskys-bad-moment\">piece<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/wLTiA\">archived<\/a>) Seymour Hersh reports on the state of the war and of significant differences of opinion between the U.S. intelligence services:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">There are significant elements in the American intelligence community, relying on field reports and technical intelligence, who believe that the demoralized Ukraine army has given up on the possibility of overcoming the heavily mined three-tier Russian defense lines and taking the war to Crimea and the four oblasts seized and annexed by Russia. The reality is that Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s battered army no longer has any chance of a victory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The war continues, I have been told by an official with access to current intelligence, because Zelensky insists that it must. There is no discussion in his headquarters or in the Biden White House of a ceasefire and no interest in talks that could lead to an end to the slaughter. \u201cIt\u2019s all lies,\u201d the official said, speaking of the Ukrainian claims of incremental progress in the offensive that has suffered staggering losses, while gaining ground in a few scattered areas that the Ukrainian military measures in meters per week.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nThe American intelligence official I spoke with spent the early years of his career working against Soviet aggression and spying has respect for Putin\u2019s intellect but contempt for his decision to go to war with Ukraine and to initiate the death and destruction that war brings. But, as he told me, \u201cThe war is over. Russia has won. There is no Ukrainian offensive anymore, but the White House and the American media have to keep the lie going.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cThe truth is if the Ukrainian army is ordered to continue the offensive, the army would mutiny. The soldiers aren\u2019t willing to die any more, but this doesn\u2019t fit the B.S. that is being authored by the Biden White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The differences between the current CIA and the more neoconned Defense Intelligence Agency extend to their view on China:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moonofalabama.org\/2023\/09\/how-will-the-biden-administration-cope-with-its-loss-in-ukraine.html#more\">Cont. reading: <em>How Will The Biden Administration Cope With Its Loss In Ukraine?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the best efforts of the Western mainstream media and governments the truth is slowly beginning to dawn.
