The world is watching in horror as Ukraine battles a powerful foe after launching a counteroffensive against Russia. The subsequent revelation that the US and its allies were fully aware of Ukraine’s limitations yet nonetheless forced it into the inferno is even more astounding.

Despite being aware of this, they nonetheless permitted Kiev to carry out its disastrous operation.

Fast forward to today, and Ukraine’s counteroffensive remains stalled, with heavy casualties and minimal gains.

The leaked Pentagon documents exposed a stark reality—Ukraine had a limited number of weapons capable of countering Russian air superiority. The US and its allies knew that such an outcome was inevitable. US military analysts counted a “tiny number” of Ukrainian weapons capable of hitting Russian aircraft, and determined that Kiev would face an “inability to prevent Russian air superiority.” 

“America would never attempt to defeat a prepared defence without air superiority, but [the Ukrainians] don’t have air superiority,” John Nagl, a retired US Army lieutenant colonel, told the paper. 

Curiously, while privately aware of Ukraine’s dire situation, American and European officials publicly expressed optimism about the counteroffensive’s success. They assured the world that Ukraine would prevail, but reality painted a vastly different picture on the battlefield.
