Yeah, but saying that would be admitting that you were lying for the past two years. It's much better to sell the narrative that Russian army completely transformed itself over the past few months since it's no longer possible to hide the fact that Ukrainian lines are collapsing.
And they only did it because of China and North Korea! Otherwise would have Ukraine wiped the floor with those Asiatic hordes!
And NATO would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!
I like the implications of that statement, they are saying, that in the middle of a war, being sanctioned by Europe and the US, they went from crappy military, to menace to the world, with time to spare to be the fastest growing economy in Europe, while the US, while NATO that arguably began this whole conflict couldn't advance the(according to this article) already superior military technology to keep up with the Russian miracle.
In my opinion that makes NATO just as pathetic as the truth does, I just like how the news twists and hides stuff, it is just funny actually, like the departure from reality is so blatant and so constant that I just find it funny, and also inspiring, cause it shows despair, and if the mouthpieces of capitalism is showing despair, it is good news for the enemies of the system, rejoice comrades, rejoice!
Given Blinken's recent statements, I'm guessing the plan going forward is to start blaming China for everything.
