well done

Russia was losing a lot of General's as well especially early on. There was so much disorganization that the General's had to go out into the field to work out what was happening and often got plucked off by snipers, but I wouldn't be surprised if some were accidental on purpose friendly fire.

This whole thing has exposed the Russian military as being inept as well as wiping out a lot of it's equipment and even their Special Forces who were being used for pitch battles rather than more covert ops and were getting killed in large numbers.

I wouldn't be surprised if China's military is much the same.

Arms dealers get richer and the Ukrainian people die. Russia owns the Donbas. Zelensky is safe in his bunker and getting enormously rich off the American taxpayers.

But Ukraine is winning!!!!!! 🤣

If not for 100 billion dollars in U.S. arms, Russia would be in control of Ukraine.

Ukraine can't win until they drive Russia out of the eastern Donbas. That's not happening.

Dude, why risk nuclear war over this? We just got kicked out of Afghanistan. When will we ever learn? We are not the world's policeman.

No, I am an American first. I will not sacrifice my country so Little Russia can join NATO. What nonsense. All Zelensky had to do was withdraw his application for membership in NATO and this war would never have begun.

The U.S. State Department has been caught lying repeatedly about alleged Ukrainian victories.

One battle in Kherson tells us nothing.

Yves Smith, the editor of Naked Capitalism, explored this insidious linkage between the information war and the real one in an article titled, “What if Russia won the Ukraine War, but the Western press didn’t notice?” He observed that Ukraine’s total dependence on the supply of weapons and money from its Western allies has given a life of its own to a triumphalist narrative that Ukraine is defeating Russia, and will keep scoring victories as long as the West keeps sending it more money and increasingly powerful and deadly weapons.

But the need to keep recreating the illusion that Ukraine is winning by hyping limited gains on the battlefield has forced Ukraine to keep sacrificing its forces in extremely bloody battles, like its counter-offensive around Kherson and the Russian sieges of Bakhmut and Soledar. Lt. Col. Alexander Vershinin, a retired US tank commander, wrote on Harvard’s Russia Matters website, “In some ways, Ukraine has no choice but to launch attacks no matter the human and material cost.”

Objective analyses of the war in Ukraine are hard to come by through the thick fog of war propaganda. But we should pay attention when a series of senior Western military leaders, active and retired, make urgent calls for diplomacy to reopen peace negotiations, and warn that prolonging and escalating the war is risking a full-scale war between Russia and the United States that could escalate into nuclear war.
