This invasion to nowhere is the best yet. While losing ground daily along a 600 mile front, waste men and material putting on a show that accomplishes nothing.
Oh, it is accomplishing something. It is repositioning a large percentage of the few men Ukraine has left into a position where they will be either slaughtered or captured once they become sufficiently vulnerable.
And no, the Russians don't play by the rules... and no one will lift a finger when they use either tactical nukes or huge thermobaric bombs 100 miles within their own borders. You might notice that Western leadership has not been enthusiastically cheering on this tactical blunder.
Instead, the Germans are “hunting down” a mythical Ukrainian for treason. France has backed off sending its own troops to Ukraine. And Brittain has been feverishly back-pedaling while trying to look tough. U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey said recently, “the rules for exactly what can be targeted and under what circumstances are “complex questions” that are the subject of intense negotiations.”
And what about the blather coming from our own President or our VP... “Wheel me to a country road; where treetops are a winding map to deep silence and soul.” Angie Weiland-Crosby. Somehow the infectious enthusiasm for this folly is not shared by Western leadership.
