Got this from Bill Keezer via email (lightly edited for style):
I know I've written before about the mystery stealth war in Ukraine, but I must return to this 21st-century version of Big Foot.
What happened to the war into which we and our European friends have poured billions of dollars and euros in cash and fancy equipment? Where are the results? Where are the intrepid embedded journos ready, willing, and able to risk life and limb to tell us all about Russian perfidy in the wild East?
What happened to the much-ballyhooed Zelensky offensive that would retake the eastern provinces of Ukraine and recapture Crimea? We sent a bazillion dollars (minus the ten percent for the Big Guy?) and our latest awe-inspiring artillery and tanks . . . so?
This sounds more and more like Orwell called it. The endless war in some far-off place, with occasional reports of great victories that mean our chocolate ration must be increased from 50 grams to 35 grams! "Inflation is down to three percent from its previous one percent! Gasoline has dropped in price from $1.50/gallon to $4.00/gallon! We are winning!"
Does Ukraine join the ever-lengthening list of modern hoaxes?
Just asking for a friend . . . and my grandkids.
