ZELENSKY admits that the US lied to them

Pretty much everything that NBC News and the New York Times have told you about the war in Ukraine is a lie. The Russian army is incompetent, they claim Ukraine is a democracy, Vladimir Putin is Hitler and he's trying to take over the world. Thankfully, the Ukrainians are winning. None of that is true; every claim is false. The last one especially: the Ukrainian Army is not winning. In fact, it's losing badly. Ukraine is being destroyed; its population is being slaughtered in lopsided battles with a technologically superior enemy or scattered by the millions to the rest of the globe as refugees. Ukraine is running out of soldiers.

As that happens, the question will inevitably arise: who's going to replace them? If the Ukrainians can't beat Putin, who will? The answer, of course, will be us. American troops will fight the Russian army in Eastern Europe. That's most likely, and the assumption is we'll win. But will we win? Probably not, says former army colonel Douglas McGregor, a decorated combat veteran who advised the Secretary of Defense in the last administration. The US says McGregor is on the brink of a catastrophic war that could very easily destroy us. Few Americans seem to understand that, but they should.
At this point, all of the lies that have been told for more than a year and a half about the Ukrainians winning, the Ukrainian cause, the Russians are evil, the Russians are incompetent—all of that is collapsing. And it's collapsing because what's happening on the battlefield is horrific. Ukrainians now, have lost 400,000 men killed in battle. We were talking about 300,000 to 350,000 a few months ago. Within the last month of this supposed counter-offensive, which was to sweep the battlefield, they lost at least 40,000 killed. We don't even know how many people have been wounded, but we know that probably upwards of 40 to 50,000 soldiers are amputees.

We know the hospitals are full, and we know that Ukrainian units at the platoon and company level—that's anywhere from 50 to 150 to 200 men—are in piecemeal fashion surrendering to the Russians. Not because they don't want to fight, but because they can't fight anymore.

They have so many wounded they can't evacuate them, and commanders are saying, "Well, if I can't evacuate my wounded, I'm going to surrender," because otherwise the wounded will die. And so they call the Russians and they all speak Russian and tell them on the radio, "Look, I've got 50-60 wounded here. I'm going to surrender because I don't want them to be killed." And the Russians, from the very beginning, have always treated the Ukrainian soldiers very fairly and very gently.
