WHOSE FAULT IS IT? A survey (https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/WSJ_NORC_Ukraine_Poll_June_2022.pdf) funded by the Wall Street Journal in June finds that while 85% of Ukrainian respondents find Russia responsible for the WAR in Ukraine, more than two thirds ALSO BLAME their own government.

But NATO is a defensive organization – innit?

I haven't seen Byden's statement, but some analysis of it by an analyst on the 🇷🇺 Russian side. _Interesting_.

🇺🇲 About Biden's statements.

1. Only Russia is to blame for all the economic troubles of the United States. The Biden administration continues to stand its ground despite growing criticism of such a position within the United States and falling ratings ahead of the midterm elections. They cannot deviate from this line, as this will mean admitting that the administration in the economic field has completely failed, so they will hammer on the topic "Putin is to blame for inflation and rising prices for food, gasoline and gas", just like they hammered the topic earlier "Putin hacked the US election, and Trump is a Kremlin agent." At the same time, no improvements are expected - US residents, according to Biden, "should pay the price as much as necessary."
Let's look at the fruits of this information line in autumn.

2. The US and its satellites will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine.
This is, frankly, not news. Old supplies are gradually being ground down, so new supplies are needed. Their range will obviously expand - they will strive to focus on artillery, MLRS and air defense systems of short and medium range.
All this is an unnecessary reminder that in Ukraine we are at war with the US and NATO, if someone thought it was a "war with Ukraine." Ukraine is just an instrument of American policy here. They expect to use the same tool in the upcoming war for Taiwan, where the puppet government is defiantly heading for a military clash with the PRC.

3. Deliveries of F-16s to Turkey.
Here, the Biden administration actually made a serious concession to Erdogan in order to put pressure on Russia, removing one of the key demands on Erdogan - to abandon the use of the S-400 under the threat of cutting off arms supplies from the United States. This is again a demonstration of the weakening of US influence, when a formal overlord is forced to make concessions to his vassals in order to achieve what he wants. The times of directive control of the world are long gone.

“History will judge the United States and its allies with abundant harshness for its foolish policy on #Ukraine.”

@peter How did it taste?

Some uncomfortable questions from a #Ukrainian citizen. #truth

Ukrainian man addresses his fellow citizens (in Ukrainian, so excuse us if the translation isn’t 100% correct) — “I want to address our patriots. The #Bandera that ran away to the west and sold their asses to Europe, as well as our country. The same ones that sing “we are from Ukraine!” — I want to tell you one thing, you have already fucked all of us normal Ukrainians. You can go fuck yourselves along with the west, stay there and fuck each other with your ‘glory to Ukraine‘“

A good fit!
