Biden’s team fears the aftermath of a failed Ukrainian counteroffensive (bidet regime setting expectations)
Politico ^ | 4/24/23 | Jonathan Lemire and Alexander Ward

The Biden administration is quietly preparing for the possibility that if Ukraine’s spring counteroffensive falls short of expectations, critics at home and allies abroad will argue that America has come up short, too.

Ukraine’s ever-imminent counteroffensive will attempt to retake Russian-seized territory most likely in the east and south, though for operational reasons no senior officials from Kyiv have detailed specifics.

Publicly, President Joe Biden’s team has offered unwavering support for Ukraine, pledging to load it up with weapons and economic aid for “as long as it takes.” But, if the impending fighting season yields limited gains, administration officials have expressed privately they fear being faced with a two-headed monster attacking it from the hawkish and dovish ends of the spectrum.

Don’t worry, they will come up with some other way to support the next “thing”. They will milk the Ukraine war until it comes to what we all knew would happen - a loss.

Then they will promote something else for all the virtue signalers to put as an emoticon on their social media profiles. The average moron will just move on and forget about Ukraine.

The left can’t lose when it’s this easy.

The pigs will try and proclaim the “LOSS” as a victory.

Those pigs caused this war and now they are backed into a corner.

We all know WTH this conflict is about, except for the war whore neocons wandering about in their demented state of mind.

ROFLMAO!!! They already know the Uke’s are going to lose and are starting to admit it.

No offensives or counter-offensives are going to start until the mud dries out, which will be sometime near the end of April or the beginning of May.

By that time the Ruskies should have Bakhmut rolled up completely and on their way to victory in Avdiivka.

Actually, it looks like that Rumble video you posted has evidence that the Russians really did bomb a NATO headquarters 400 feet below ground in late March. So all this ‘worry’ about a counter offensive is just ‘circling the drain’.
Here’s that rumble video you linked:

They're cowards and always have been. That's the main reason Putin attacked, seeing all the Obama droids of Syrian "red line" and Benghazi fame come slithering back into power.

They thought Ukraine would collapse in a week after the war started, and they thought the offensives in Kharkov and Kherson would not succeed. That makes them 0 for 3 in assessing Ukrainian capabilities.

“Russians really did bomb a NATO headquarters 400 feet below ground in late March”

I just listened to and saw the entire video link from Comment #5. It says Ukraine forces attacked a location nearby inside Russia and several people were killed. A Russian hypersonic bomb was used to attack a hundreds of feet deep Ukraine bunker containing top (General level) NATO and Ukraine military people and 300 were killed. We are afraid to retaliate because the next level would be for us to use something nuclear and trigger WW3. It is also being kept secret for similar reasons. THey also said Zelenkyy looked devastated when he was filmed that night, after the supposed bombing.

The film narrators said it was a bunker near Kiev. Some Brussels official was also shown who said it was near Lviv. These two places are hundreds of miles apart. So who knows what has actually happened. Have any significant number of top NATO or Ukraine military people dropped off the map since late March?? Have most top military people still been seen since then??

In a separate issue regarding secrecy and censorship, I spoke with my son last night who has been very interested in Covid. He said something about YouTube not allowing any mention of Quercetin (the one well-known easy to buy ionophore for zinc) or Ivermectin (needs doctor’s prescription) during YouTube videos made on the Covid issue, or something like that. I will have to get more information from my son as he had to hang up after that comment. Has anyone else heard about this blatant censorship which happens to coincide with renewed efforts to get people boosted for new Covid variants?

Repeatedly posting the same phony stories from least trustworthy sources won't make them true.

Reminds me of the mainstream news and far left screaming of "Viet Nam!" and "Quagmire!" during the 2003 Iraq war. Attitudes which were derided here at the time. Only then the press waited until the offensive was in progress to call it a failure. The first Iraq war put a damper on predictive failure of the US military.

This time, the 2nd best Army in the world after for fourteen months the 2nd best Army in Ukraine. It took 10 months to not quite finish taking a town of 16 square miles. The only reason to take Bakhmut, is it was the easiest city for Russia logistics to take. Which means Russian logistics everywhere else make Iraq and the Taliban look good.

Now Ukraine failed before it started, when Russia has not succeeded for over a year? SMH.

“So who knows what has actually happened.”

Nothing happened, there's nothing indicating that it is anything else than rus garbage propaganda. Why the hell would anyone send “hundreds of top NATO generals” into Ukraine and put them all in one place when there are several NATO member states just behind the corner, anyway these days they could as well sit in Rammstein or across the ocean.

“Covid issue”

But Q will come back and save the world...

I decided to further check the destroyed NATO meeting in Ukraine story. One of the big points made by the narraters of the Rumble link in Comment #5 was that Zelenskyy looked absolutely devastated. The NYtimes link below is ample evidence for his being very upset without 300 military people being killed in a bunker meeting.

Apparently Ukraine had been implicated in a strike on Russian soil. Russia’s response was to launch 81 missiles including 6 hypersonics all over Ukraine. A number went to Kiev where Zelenskyy was located. It was the most massive, widespread aerial attack on Ukraine since rhe war started. Zelenskyy must have had a very sleepless night, and no wonder he looked devastated.

Congrats to the Russians on destroying a highly strategic apartment building and its critically important parking lot! I’m sure this decisive strike will help Russia reign triumphant over Ukraine!
