Ukraine's Current Situation: A Prediction by Glenn Greenwald

Antony Blinken's Performance and Zelensky's Announcement

On Tuesday night, Antony Blinken was seen leading a rock anthem in a Kiev bar, performing Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" to a mixed reception online. However, the following morning, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the cancellation of all his upcoming foreign trips. This announcement came at a time when Ukrainian forces are facing a tough time in the Kharkiv region.

Zelensky's press secretary, Sergii Nykyforov, stated, "Volodymyr Zelenskyy has instructed that all international events scheduled for the coming days be postponed and new dates coordinated. We are grateful to partners for their understanding."

The Current Military Situation in Ukraine

According to Nykyforov, Ukraine's military leaders are making decisions based on comprehensive information and additional forces are being deployed with reserves available. Among the foreign trips that have been postponed were expected visits of Zelensky to Spain and Portugal. Spain recently gave up at least one of its Patriot missile batteries for Ukraine, following significant pressure from EU and NATO leaders.

Glenn Greenwald's Prediction

Journalist Glenn Greenwald has made a significant prediction regarding these developments. He wrote, "By this time next year, there will be about 15 people still admitting they supported this bloodshed and debacle of the US blocking diplomatic solutions and instead fueling this futile war in Ukraine. Everyone else will pretend they opposed it. US war propaganda is always false."

Greenwald's prediction draws parallels with the Iraq war, where initially, everyone supported the war, but as the situation worsened, many changed their stance. Those who were wrong all along suddenly fell silent, forgetting their past denunciations of the minority 'other side' whose 'unpopular' predictions turned out to be accurate.

Reflection on the US Empire

This situation reflects the predictable pattern of the US Empire in a long, slow decline.
