Which side is winning in the conflict within Ukraine depends on who’s speaking rational thinking. Typically, Russia says that it has won as it was planned and it is the United States says Ukraine is having a surprising win because of its unwavering opposition and Western support . On the surface the it appears that the authoritarian Russia is not a reliable source of the facts, or even information about war however, the more liberal West is more credible because it permits a fair and independent investigation.
In reality, Chinese strategic strategist Sun Tzu said, “all warfare is based on deception”. Both sides cannot or should be believed to cut through the danger of war as both are involved in warfare involving psychological tactics which is crucial to winning the conflict in Ukraine In reality, both sides are promoting their own biased truths and myths, as well as they are censoring their counter claims, since both sides must maintain the appearance of progress to justify huge sacrifices in blood or in treasure.
Both sides must increase the stakes to strengthen the public’s resolve in support of their objectives, which so has ruled out any serious efforts towards an agreement through diplomatic channels. Russia wants to reduce its morale in those fighting for the Ukrainian resistance and diminish European acceptance of a conflict that can’t be won.
While the US seeks to strengthen Ukrainian and European excitement for a winnable war even though the public is aware, US official are skeptical that Ukraine can regain all of its territories under occupation. The Russian media is left with other choice than to follow the official position, Western media has a option to choose to believe NATO and Pentagon reports and briefs, regardless of the intentions. For instance, consider the statement that an individual has made (why who is anonymous?)
Senior Pentagon official who says “Russia has committed nearly 85 percent of its military to the war in Ukraine” and “has removed military coverage from other areas on their border and around the world”; Russia “still has not figured out how to use combined arms effectively”; Russia is “taking hundreds of casualties a day”. The Russian military’s fatalities are “thousands” of lieutenants and captains, “hundreds” of colonels as well as “many” generals Now. Additional information
