No. Admiral “Rachel” Levine, a dude pretending to be a woman who heads the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, will give birth to a baby and breastfeed it before Ukraine “wins.” Try telling that to “Rose Gottemoeller, a lecturer at Stanford University and former NATO deputy secretary-general, and Michael Ryan, a former U.S. deputy assistant defense secretary for European and NATO policy”, who just published an article in Foreign Policy, Ukraine Has a Path to Victory. Thank God they are no longer in government service. Their article reveals a depth of ignorance and delusion that is breath taking. They start with this nonsense:
Ukraine’s daring attack on a major Russian warship in occupied Crimea in the small hours of Dec. 26 was one more episode in Kyiv’s strategy to deny Russia control over the Black Sea. With most of its ships driven out of its home port in Sevastopol, the Russian Black Sea Fleet can no longer find safe haven anywhere along the Crimean Peninsula.
Yep. In their fantasy world, hitting an aging ship that is in dry dock and serves no current military purpose for the Russian Navy is a major victory. Then they offer up this bit of laugh-your-ass-off inadvertent humor:
While Russia has been going all-out to attack Ukraine’s infrastructure, its risky move to deploy ships and submarines armed with Kalibr missiles in the Black Sea is exposing them to potential Ukrainian attack. It is a tacit acknowledgment that Russia can no longer depend on Crimean ports and launch sites.
Word to Gottemoeller and Ryan — have you guys been locked away in a prison cell? During the last two weeks Russia has been shellacking Ukraine with Kalibrs and Iskanders, knocking out critical Ukrainian defense plants, air defense systems and railroads. And guess what? Not one of the Russian ships that launched a Kalibr has been attacked by Ukraine. Not one! These two are bona fide kool aid drinkers (must be laced with some LSD) because they insist, without one shred of proof, that Ukraine is “regularly shooting down the majority of Russian missiles and drones destined for Ukrainian targets.” The expiration date on that foolish assertion was December 29, 2023. Ukraine has faced unrelenting salvos of Russian missiles and drones and Ukraine has even admitted it is not able to shoot them down because their air defense systems have been destroyed. Gootemoeller and Ryan finally admit the reason for their bizarre analysis — they are terrified that when Russia prevails, “it spells defeat not only for Ukraine, but also for the United States and its allies in Europe and Asia.” That’s the rub. They do get one thing right. They acknowledge that Ukraine, “to achieve a tactical breakthrough on the ground front that leads to operational and strategic success, … will need to be more effective from the air.” Of course this presupposes that Ukraine has or will have an air force that will not be shot out of the sky by Russia. They obviously have not paid attention to what has transpired in Ukraine over the last two years. Ukrainian pilots have the shelf life of a snowball in Miami in July. Even if Ukraine had a couple of squadrons of F-16s, those jets are useless without pilots. Where exactly is Ukraine going to get pilots? These two clowns, who have zero experience in commanding or fighting a military peer, seriously believe that all Ukraine has to do is employ NATO tactics:
The Joint Air Attack Team (JAAT) was developed to synchronize attack helicopters, artillery, and close air support by fighter planes to ensure a constant barrage of the enemy in case of a ground force attack. Pooling NATO assets in this way was designed to give the alliance’s forces the mass, maneuverability, and flexibility needed to overcome superior numbers, avoid a war of attrition, and escape the type of bloody slugfest that characterizes the current stalemate in Ukraine.
Every single magical NATO weapon system that has been deployed to the Ukrainian battlefront has been destroyed or neutered. Furthermore, just where is Ukraine going to find trained soldiers and airmen capable of carrying out this strategy? They don’t exist and will not exist. Gottemoeller and Ryan conclude with this bit of insanity:
If Ukraine can achieve the momentum in the ground war that evaded it during its failed summer offensive, Kyiv will have a real pathway to victory. That pathway will run through Ukraine’s demonstrated prowess at sea and in the air, joined to an embrace of a sophisticated combination of techniques on the ground.
If? If a frog had wings it would not bump its ass when it jumps. If Rachel Levine had a vagina he/she might have a shot at getting pregnant. If a snake could stand on its tail it could get the lead at the Bolshoi. These two make Jim Carrey, in Dumb and Dumber, sound like Einstein in his prime.
That is exactly what happened in Ukraine. A President that the vast majority voted for in Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea was illegally overthrown. Those there has EVERY right to seek independence or join the Russian Federation.
The war in Ukraine is 100% a result of our meddling in Ukraine. It's proxy war that the Biden regime desperately wanted because it, stupidly, thought it could defeat Russia.
You keep exposing why you hate Trump so much -- because Trump wouldn't have allowed the proxy war in Ukraine to happen.
Get on the Trump train or on the tracks.
Horseshit.
What? What makes you think any successor to Putin wouldn’t be worse?
Ukraine only has to “outlast” Putin. Either by economic collapse of Russia, or Putin’s health failing.
Who do you think is going to succeed Putin ? A Russian Justin Trudeau ?
The criticism of Putin in Russia over this war is that Putin is a weak fag, and Russia ought to attack much more aggressively !

Repeating those memes over and over won't make them true.

Ukraine doesn’t have to win anything. They just have to stop Ruzzia from winning anything.
“Texas would secede from the union is a heartbeat if Donald Trump were reelected and an illegal coup drove him out of office.

Another obvious point is that if Quebec had Separated and become USSR-aligned (which was very likely given the far left origins of Quebec Separatists) of course the USA would have invaded to secure its Northern border.
“Yep. In their fantasy world, hitting an aging ship that is in dry dock and serves no current military purpose for the Russian Navy is a major victory.”
The Russians, by your own assertion, are utter idiots for putting a supposedly worthless ship into a valuable drydock for precious repairs in the midst of a war.
How can they win a war if they’re making idiotic decisions like this?
A coughing fit prevented me from dying of laughter. What would an Oddsmaker in Vegas say? Too funny.
—> Ukraine only has to “outlast” Putin.
Those standing in line to replace Putin are hard liners who will be worse.
Diversity
Is like leprosy injections
People’s brains falling out
Tautology is
Plausible statements
For impossible results
Seems to all start with
Gender confusion - behavior
Rabies - hypothermia
Similar symptoms - results
Frothing mouths - biting
Kyiv in 3 days! Bring your parade uniform!
If that’s not true, why did Ukraine’s five-month counteroffensive produce nothing but more than 100,000 dead Ukrainian troops?
If reality
Super- preceded idealism
War - liberalism
Wouldn’t exist
Self anilhilation solves that problem
Poetry
Is like a house built of words
It has a foundation
It has structure
People react to it
People live in it
But a jumble of words is like a jumbled house
It makes no sense
No one lives there
It sits abandoned and
Ignored
Bidend is pulling
The obombo wagon train - caravan
The vultures are circling
Water hole sign say
Don’t drink - poison
How about them Ukrainian Leopard tanks sitting in Lithuania, unrepaired?
And this little tidbit?
"Ukrainian forces also caused further damage to their Leopard tanks by attempting repair"
