"In the mean time, the US aims to produce enough artillery to support Ukraine for the next three to four years..."

And how does a former senior British Military Advisor know this unless he has investments in America's military industrial complex? Does this mean that the US will stop asking our allies like South Korea and Japan, who have their own security to be concerned with, to send hundreds of thousand of artillery shells to Ukraine? The US also sent artillery shells stored in Israel last October, after the October attack. Also in early 2023, Zelensky begged the EU for 250,000 artillery shells a month. Not long after that in 2023, it was reported that the US would ramp up artillery production, but just last month, CNN reported that Russia is producing shells three times faster than the US. Four months ago, a plan to have Japan produce 155 mm shells through a contract with Britain's BAE Systems, thus quickly resupplying Britain, so Britain could supply more shells to Ukraine, fell apart. Never ending wars are hard to supply, but think of all the people getting rich while trying.

I think the point is…take a look at the accuracy of ‘Chip’s” analysis of the war since 2022, and proceed accordingly.

Given what’s been coming out of the UK Defence Ministry since at least 2022… about the war in Ukraine and particularly Russia ( at least publicly) …….. he’s the very model of a modern Major-General
