The Expendables, Or: Meet The Lab Rat Of The West.
Oh, what a bitter, bitter day for THE Ukraine! The live televised, shocking revelation of what it is to be just a tool of the US World Domination and Russophobia! With the Iranian attack on Israel,…

The show of military help in favour of Israel was impressive: the coordination of space assets (satellites) and air assets (war airplanes) allowed to shoot down, very probably, 100% of the drones and 100% of the cruise missiles, with only some ballistic missiles getting through (yes, they did; yes, the Patriots can do nothing against modern ballistic missiles; yes, the Patriots are sh*te). In total, perhaps a couple of hundred between drones and cruise missiles were taken down and if they were less, they weren’t so many less. With NATO airplanes in the air protecting Israel and firing at enemy targets.
Imagine you are a Ukrainian, and read in the newspapers about all this display of technological coordination and prowess; imagine you read about the active, I mean here fighting military help, just hours after the umpteenth Russian drone and missile attack against your own country ravaged your country’s power plants and other assets, with no NATO interceptors scrambling to shoot them down.
Da (or I should say, tak), unfortunate non-friend: you have just vaguely discovered that you are screwed. You will not understand it fully by yourself, so let me spell it out for you.
Your country has been dumb enough to be chosen as battering ram against Russia, not Iran. Whilst Iran is getting stronger (see above: ballistic missiles), they are nowhere near the ability of Russia to inflict pain to everybody, starting from “Uncless Sam, xir/xer” and continuing with all the barking pocket dogs in Europe. This is why, unfortunate non-friend, NATO aeroplanes stay well-tucked in their hangars when missiles fly against you, but fly all over the Mediterranean when drones and missiles are swarming towards Israel.
You see, Israel is a strategic ally of the United States. You are just the useful idiot. Israel can afford to openly disobey, even mock Dementia Joe, knowing that the US will always be on Israel’s side, albeit perhaps with some reservation at times, or with less money today than tomorrow. Too many strategic interests in the Middle East, too many cultural ties with Unless Sam (xir/xer), and too many Jewish rich donors in the US, you see. It’s just the way it’s going to be.
Your country, instead, is like a huge Kleenex currently approaching the rubbish bin; an experiment of sort, that has now approaching the time of being discarded. You are the lab rat of the West.
A pity, niet? You thought that your rainbow flags, your drag shows, and your perv legislation would ensure the unlimited support of the corrupted West, and an unlimited supply of sophisticated weapons for (cough) “as long as it takes”.
Nah. You were just prostituting yourself; you were selling your cultural heritage for the privilege of being ground to even finer mince-meat. How many, how many of your compatriots, my non-dear non-friend, hoped until yesterday that they would, in the end, be treated like Uncless Sams’ “best non-binary friend”! Alas, the attack on Israel must have opened the eyes of many of your unfortunate friends.

Let us hope that these ominous forebodings will be fully justified:

‘Much more unpopular than anyone anticipated’ After months of deliberation and thousands of amendments, Ukraine’s new mobilization law frustrates politicians and soldiers alike — Meduza
On April 16, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law tightening the country’s mobilization procedures. The reform comes as the situation at the front has been worsening for Ukraine: Russia’s offensive has picked up steam and there are fears that Ukraine’s entire defense could...
An active member of Ukraine’s Armed Forces told Meduza that in his opinion, “the law was passed very late.”
“It’s sheer madness to address issues with mobilization legislation only in the third year of such a large-scale war,” he argued. “All this should have been dealt with before the war. After the start of the full-scale war, they needed to immediately tighten mobilization rules, lower the [conscription] age, remove exemptions, and recruit the maximum number of people into the army.”
According to him, right after the start of the full-scale invasion, “it was still possible to make such unpopular decisions.” “But, true to form, no one did anything,” he said. “And now it’s too late and won’t fundamentally change the situation, especially in such a watered-down form.”
In the soldier’s opinion, the problem with insufficient forces at the front “will only get worse.” “Now, we find ourselves in a situation akin to what the Russians faced in the fall of 2022 — when they didn’t have enough people in their units and that contributed to the collapse of the Russian defense in the Kharkiv region,” he explained. “The risk is that, due to the lack of manpower and weaponry, there could be a major breach at any given front — and then everyone will be completely shocked. While in 2022, that might have rallied us to resist, now it will lead to total demoralization and defeatism.”
He believes that if there were to be another wave of mobilization in Russia, the situation for the Ukrainian army would become “catastrophic.” I don’t know how you can fix the mobilization failure in the third year of the war,” he remarked. “I don’t see a viable solution or the will to implement one.”
