Presidents lie when it suits their purpose. Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson all promised Americans that they would not send American boys to die in foreign wars. President Joe Biden, however, is arguably the first to make public predictions that invariably came true in reverse.
Instead of deterring China, the Taiwanese electorate is likely to elect a new government that favors reunification with Beijing. Rather than collapsing the Russian economy, Biden’s proxy war is destroying the economically fragile European Union. Instead of realizing Francis Fukuyama’s “Rebirth of the West,” Washington’s policies are accelerating its decline. And instead of preventing the emergence of a new coalition or axis of illiberal powers—including Russia, China, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia and others—Washington has cemented these relationships to the detriment of Western interests.

The front at the junction of Zaporozhye and the DPR is littered with the corpses of Ukrainian militants after the battle with the Kaskad OBTF
Ukrainian Armed Forces were able to evacuate one damaged Leopard 2a6 with the help of Bergepanzer 3 armoured recovery vehicle.
Fierce fighting continues on the Makarovka-Urozhajnoye line. According to correspondents from the field, due to another attack by Ukrainian formations, Russian units retreated to the southern outskirts of Makarovka settlement. After several days of fighting, the settlement is again under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Most likely, the defense of Russian units is lining up 700 meters south of Makarovka. Urožajnoje is under the safe control of Russian forces. Levadnoe is reportedly controlled by Ukrainian formations, while Novodarovka is in the gray zone. After demining, Ukrainian formations tried to advance towards Priyutnoi, but were repulsed. Rovnopolj is under the stable control of Russian forces. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, all attacks by Ukrainian troops were repelled in that area.
