More than six thousand Ukrainians are being trained right now at 40 different locations (sic) training locations in 65 courses in 33 Nations on three continents. That is all happening right now today

Worst war plan ever.

No, Putin’s plan for conquering Ukraine is the worst ever.

Training doesn't mean crap when you're fed into an area against entrenched artillery with air support.

At least they'll know the correct pronouns they should be using on the battlefield.

Have you seen pictures of Bradley Square?

Milley and Austin remind men of the Vindman brothers.

The more desperate imbecilic leaders are, the more likely they’ll resort to insane tactics. Like using nukes.

Maybe NATO shouldn't have instigated this with the potato we currently have as president.

The counter offensive hasn’t even start yet!
What the Ukrainians are doing right now is “terrain shaping”.
They are just scratching the Russians a bit in multiple areas to see how poorly they react. Where the Russians are reacting the most poorly, THAT would become one of the counter offensive points.
We are not there at all.
If Russia considers these little scratches as a FULL Ukrainian counter offensive… they will be shocked when it all truly starts.

We have squandered so much US treasure and wreaked so much havoc and devastation in Ukraine that a loss at this point would be a total loss of face for all involved and for America in general. These loathsome losers know the have screwed the pooch in nearly the most epic fashion possible - even if they still have room to screw up a lot more. They are terrified of what is going to happen when the dust settles and they are held to account for their profoundly destructive actions regarding the Ukraine. They are rats who have backed themselves into a very tenuous corner. There is very little evil they are not capable of perpetrating to try to salvage their positions. The only question left is how much more pain and destruction will be allowed to inflict before the end game plays itself out. Right now, I’m just contemplating the proper venue for their war crimes trials.

Don’t fall for the propaganda. Pooty knows he could never hold Kiev. He and his successors would rather play the patient game and hang on to Donbas and Crimea while the US / EU waste trillions propping up a dysfunctional failed state for a decade or more. Just like Afghanistan.

Through the efforts of many countries from around the world, more than 6000 Ukrainians are currently being trained in forty different places, in 33 courses, in countries on three continents, where more that fifty-seven languages are spoken. Some say we have created a military version of the Tower of Babble, and that's something I'm pleased as punch about. I'm retiring next month for a career at Raytheon. It's time. My time. PEACE OUT. - General Maximus Milley.

First it was easy more than 6000 total.

And second, what a blabbering nothing article.

It took that one quote and then ran with silliness about why the offensive can’t work.

NOTHING about the actual offensive, pure opinion.

Except .. . the offensive is succeeding and Ukraine hasn’t yet committed its main forces.

You can all blabber with your emotional responses to this, but a recently retired officer who commanded tanks in Europe and in every conflict for the past 40 years, said the mechanized forces being trained for the Ukrainians could reverse the war and lead to the expulsion of the Russians. He estimated that would take about 2 years total.

But then again this brilliant article said it’s impossible.

It's over before it started. Ukraine's mech brigades began movement against the Russian line in Zaparozha (the "grey zone") starting on June 4th. That's when the carnage began. Over 6,000 Ukrainian deaths later, I have not tracked any Ukraine brigade-level forward movement since June 13th. It looks like the 10-day offensive is over.

Ever hear about what Michael Wittman did at Villers-Bocage on 13 June 1944? Did it alter the result of the war?

“He (Putin) and his successors would rather play the patient game and hang on to Donbas and Crimea....”

Except Ukraine is exactly in the process of separating Russia from Crimea.

And wow Putin is so smart according to you he brilliantly opted for a forever war that will still be fought by his “successors”.
