In addition to morally noxious Lloyd Austin — there's crassly lying Antony Blinken

What a stream of putridly toxic American neocons
I addressed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's moral noxiousness, earlier today.
Let's now consider Secretary of State Antony Blinken's unembarrassed — over-the-top, blatant as stinking poop — lying about the Russo-Ukrainian War.
In terms of wars won and lost, again, I come back to the proposition that in terms of Russia’s war aims, Russia has already failed and Ukraine has already succeeded because the principal aim that President Putin brought to this, in his own words, was to fully subsume Ukraine back into Russia, to take away its sovereignty and independence, and that has not happened and clearly will not happen.

Putin never said anything even remotely like . . .
. . . what Blinken attributes to him.
The United States (in completely characteristic fashion) is making things up.
Evidently, so as to change people's perceptions of America's initiating contribution to the Ukraine tragedy.
Add in Blinken's inability to see facts
He came up with the following, reality-defying observation:
Russia is failing, Ukraine is succeeding.
Russia has sought as its principal aim to totally subjugate Ukraine – to take away its sovereignty, to take away its independence.
That has failed. It’s sought to assert the power of its military and its economy. We of course are seeing just the opposite – a military that is dramatically underperforming; an economy, as a result of sanctions, as a result of a mass exodus from Russia, that is in shambles.
And it’s sought to divide the West and NATO; of course, we’re seeing exactly the opposite . . . .

Sure, Mr. Secretary
That is why most of eastern and much of sea-front Ukraine is tightly in Russian hands today.
That's why Russian artillery, armor and troops are moving perceptibly (on a daily basis) westward in the Donbass.
This is also why Ukraine is draining western treasuries and arms supplies in unsuccessful resistance to Russian military movements.
Still furthermore, Russia's alleged losing effort is why NATO is beginning to recognize, in its backrooms, that provoking a proxy war that is going to gobble the pro-Russia end of Ukraine and its seashore, forevermore, may not have been the most militarily or economically bright of ideas.
In truth, an honest look at beginning-to-struggle European economies — compared to Russia's commodity-based more resilient one — reveals a much less than Sun Tzu-like European and American moment.
Consider, in support of the above proposition, some NATO members' implicit recent retreat from their initially announced blanket prohibitions of Russia-sourced energy imports.
In a similar vein, do explain (again) why European and American leaderships are telling their populations of clueless Jingo Sheep that — shivering in the dark and scrabbling for expensive scraps to eat — makes a moral statement of some satisfying (but self-destructive) kind?
The moral? — The road to hell is paved with lies . . .
. . . stupid people and their bad intentions.
History is not going to remember you favorably, Twerpy Tony.
Yet another American pseudo-colossus made of dried crap, broken straw and idolatrous (so to speak) intent.
