he Ukrainians and NATO know that most of the ground war is being fought by Donbas militias, but do not want to inform the public of that because it undercuts their propaganda campaign to make this “invasion” all about Russia.

We also know that Russia is much better at deception than Ukraine and NATO. Ukraine did nothing to hide its intent to launch an attack in the Kherson region and also signaled it would attack around Kharkov. Russia? Helped the Donbas militias reinforce their forces around Kherson (and successfully beat back the Ukrainian attack causing massive Ukrainian losses). Russia also leaked information that it was sending huge armor and artillery reinforcements towards Kherson as that offensive got underway when, in reality, it organized a tactical withdrawal from the region and redeployed forces south to Donetsk.

There is one more salient fact–the Ukrainian offensive around Kharkov took place without any meaningful support from Ukrainian combat air or artillery. Why is that important? That means the Russian air force–both fixed wing and rotary wing–is unscathed and intact. Russian armor and artillery systems also were not destroyed. If they ain’t destroyed they can still fight and the Ukrainian troops do not have a large reserve of armor and artillery to protect them.

Ukraine and the western media blithely ignore this fact and are celebrating the limited Ukrainian advance as if it were the reincarnation of the Nazi blitzkrieg into France.

One final fact to take into account. Ukraine has incurred horrendous casualties over the last two and a half weeks of combat. Russia and the militias have far fewer losses. Russia has not tapped into its trained military reserve. Ukraine has no trained military reserve left. So, for all of you arm chair generals out there second guessing Russia’s command decisions, please explain how Ukraine comes out on top? I look forward to your answers.

The Russians are short on manpower and I’m beginning to think their military commanders aren’t very good.

But I do believe the Ukrainians are exposing themselves.

Previously, the Russians had to shell without accurate targeting information.

The winning army is always the army retreating in disarray. 🙄. Just like their disastrous rout north of Kiev, the Russian military is conclusively demonstrating how poorly prepared and led it is. The only real question is when Putin will “resign” for health reasons. In the meantime, his military has played all its cards…poorly.

“Russia has not tapped into its trained military reserve.”

That is a bald faced lie.

LOL Every operation executed by Russia was detected by satellite, including the original attack in Feb.

There is one more salient fact–the Ukrainian offensive around Kharkov took place without any meaningful support from Ukrainian combat air or artillery.

The claim of no artillery support is hardly credible.

Russian armor and artillery systems also were not destroyed.

Those would be the ones not captured?

Ukraine has incurred horrendous casualties over the last two and a half weeks of combat. Russia and the militias have far fewer losses.

An army that's routed usually suffers far greater losses. More importantly, which the pro-Putin side seems to forget, is that even if hey took heavy casualties, the Ukrainians don't give a f---., something Russian geniuses haven't figured out despite the fact that it was very predictable based on post-WWII resistance.

Russia has not tapped into its trained military reserve. Ukraine has no trained military reserve left.

Those do not exist.

If you want to defeat these Cabal/pro-SOros posts, there may be an easier way. I think what is posting these is likely a part of the intel operation which has taken over America, and established a decent-sized domestic surveillance infrastructure along the lines of the East German Stasi.

If I am correct, they might stop posting if every thread becomes a thread exposing the domestic surveillance in the US.

If you see these posts, and drop the link below in them. if these are regular Freepers, with a viewpoint, they will not care. But if they are the intel operation I suspect, they will have to choose between posting these posts, and exposing the surveillance machine, and giving up the propaganda push for Soros, to hide the surveillance.

The forbidden link is:

What I know is Larry Johnson was a has-been 20 years ago, is a bit unhinged, and hasn't unscrewed up his head.

On July 10, 2001, his article "The Declining Terrorist Threat" was published. Two months later 9/11 happened.
First Thread, 7/11/2002.
Second thread, 7/20/2005.

He spent GHW Bush's term opposing his policies and called the Valerie Plame leak was a political attack, not a inside job to attack the Presidency.

Acknowledging you’ve been deceived by Russian propaganda is a good first step. Congratulations on this newfound self awareness.

So, for all of you arm chair generals out there second guessing Russia’s command decisions, please explain how Ukraine comes out on top? I look forward to your answers.

It’s simple. The Russian invaders are being driven back. Once they’re driven out of Ukraine the invasion is over.
