From Germany´s major reporter about Ukrainian fascism, Susann Witt-Stahl for JUNGE WELT daily:
Ceasefire as a “disgrace”
Conference of Ukrainian nationalists and fascists with the support of the Selenskij government
Febr. 7th
https://archive.is/SqLWGLast paragraph a good quote for all those who still follow the narrative that this is all Russian bullshit propaganda:
“The fact that the “Bandera readings” also serve as a stage for the Ukrainian fascists to flex their muscles, promote themselves and promote themselves as legionaries in the fight to stabilize the unipolar world order was made clear by a speech by the leader of the neo-Nazi gang “C 14”, Yevgen Karas, at the ninth conference on February 5, 2022: Less than three weeks before the start of the Russian invasion, he praised the nationalists as the “standard bearers” of Ukraine, who had unleashed a war the likes of which had not been seen for decades, and boasted of huge arms deliveries from the USA and Great Britain. “We are fulfilling the tasks of the West because we are the only ones willing to do so, because we enjoy killing,” Karas continued. “This is about new political alliances on a global level.“
1) See below an honest, humble look at the state of US society via US Armed Forces and their difficulty to recruit soldiers.
Compare with Russia.However may be there are also strong similiarities.
I would consider both huge countries and size changes people´s perception I think. A certain generosity might come with that. Which I assume I would find both with American and Russian citizens alike.Following piece from THE NEW YORKER, by Dexter Filkins, a former famed war correspondent in Afghanistan and Iraq. He too I suppose carries his wounds. It would be interesting to read Russian literature by Russian war correspondents who have seen much worse. In general we know nothing about Russian spheres in society corresponding to our own.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/02/10/the-us-militarys-recruiting-crisis2) This honest assessment of NATO´s weakness. Consider this is Responsible Statecraft and a former NATO-officer and Royal Navy Commodore writing.
He eventually says this remarkable thing:
“The truth is that NATO now exists to confront the threats created by its continuing existence. Yet as our scenario shows, NATO does not have the capacity to defeat the primary threat that its continuing existence has created.So perhaps this is the time to have an honest conversation about the future of NATO, and to ask two questions. How do we return to the sustainable peace in Europe that all sides to the conflict seek? Is NATO the primary obstacle to this sustainable peace?”
Right now NATO could not win a war with Russia
Are the allied forces helping or hurting the prospects of a sustainable peace? This retired Royal Navy commodore has some thoughts.
