OK. Sure. We've been telling you for more than a month that Ukraine is launching a counter-offensive around Kherson, and, well, there hasn't actually been a counter-offensive.
But we mean it this time!
You might recall how I've been closely following all of the news media reporting about how Ukraine has been gearing up for their HUGE, GINORMOUS, OVERWHELMING, COUNTER-OFFENSIVE in which they are going to take back the city of Kherson from Russia.
When future historians write the obituary on Dollar Hegemony, they will be certain to mention how it was a tragic case of suicide.
Mark Twain once said, “History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes.”
With all due respect to Mr. Twain, sometimes it DOES repeat itself. Especially when it comes to lies the government tells.
A week ago I called to your attention how the media was reporting glowing reports about Ukraine's big counter-offensive to take back the city of Kherson.
Most of the 'Putin is losing. Russia is being crushed" news I don't believe. Most of the time it is obvious propaganda.
However, this news I actually believe, and it makes a difference.
Suddenly every news source in America is telling us that Ukraine is beating Russia.
Such confidence.
We are all familiar with the close ties between Russia and China, if only because they are both being threatened by the U.S. and NATO. So it shouldn't be a surprise that Iran, also under threat by the U.S. and UK, would eventually become allied with Russia.
Much like a stopped clock, Tony Blair is right once every couple decades.
