As the Ukrainian spring bloodily transitions into summer, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Generals are trying to manage a stalled, if not, failed winter offensive in the Donbas that has left as many as 75,000 Russian soldiers and Wagner Group mercenaries dead. As the Kremlin’s overall casualties continue to mount, upwards of 200,000 according to the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense, it is becoming increasingly clear we are likely seeing the beginning of the end of Putin in Ukraine – especially as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his Generals draw nearer Kyiv’s much-anticipated counteroffensive.
Ukraine is a vast Texas-size country. Kyiv’s counteroffensive could come from anywhere and everywhere. Given the vast expanse of land, Russian General Valery Vasilyevich Gerasimov is facing a similar pivotal task to that of German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in World War II in defending Nazi-held France and Norway against an allied invasion of Europe. The ultimate outcome, like that of Normandy and Operation Overlord during the summer months of 1944 into fall, will likely dictate the outcome of Putin’s ‘special military operation.’
The question then becomes one of where, and how does Gerasimov set his defense: Donbas, Crimea, or elsewhere? Part and parcel to that question is also one of will Russian forces put up a fight, surrender, or simply lay down their arms and return to Russia? Thus far, the Russian military has not demonstrated a propensity to defend well. The nature of the battles waged in the Kherson Oblast in the fall last year may be a good indicator of future Russian battlefield performance in the defense – and influence when and where the point of Ukrainian attack.

Putin isn’t going anywhere..
Bwahahahahahaha! Post 23 - spot on.
Pay attention to the videos and pictures posted by the MSM and their supporters
The soldiers shown are all old men, or middle-aged guys with pot-bellies. They drive to the front in pick-up trucks or sedan cars.
He’s going to Sochi tomorrow for chemo.
Cue the appropriate Doors song.
Just in our recent past, the gov and MSM lied and lied about:
Russiagate - lies
Covid origin, Vaxx, masks, lockdowns - lies
Laptops, foreign bribes - lies
Epstein - lies
can go on and on.
All of these phony stories had “legs” with ordinary folks because they wanted them to be true so badly they ignored plain and available proof they were lies. Truth was right in front of their noses and none of it mattered, did it?
Same with Ukraine. Same with Russia.
I don’t believe any of it. I do believe people like McGregor & Ritter - they actually have long histories of expertise, who learned by doing the things they opine about and not from a keyboard, and their reports are eventually shown to track reality once that reality finally escapes the propaganda room.
Gung-ho Freepers, prove me wrong!
"Nuthin' up my sleeve... presto!"
. I do believe people like McGregor & Ritter - they actually have long histories of expertise
ROFLMAO. Ritter certainly has a lot history of being a pedophile groomer. Expertise there, too!
Or not
And mister Medvedev will come to power then. You will miss Putin comparing.
You don’t understand one simple thing. Putin is a mere pigeon inside his circle. Other guys are much more hardliners than him. He deters them now but if he is gone they will do whatever they want.
Putin has more deaths than a cat........................
Lots of people have Chemo and live long life’s. I have had multi rounds of radiation treatments and still running a 100 daily.
He’s going to Sochi tomorrow for chemo.==
Where you get it? Ukies propaganda right?)))
And Macgregor who tried to start WW3 with his boss Wesley Clark at the Prystina airport in Kosovo. Funny how Macgregor never talks about his glory days with Wesley Clark in Kosovo.
The leaked documents show that Fox can not be trusted.
Patrushev will take out Medvedev in a blink of an eye after Putin croaks.
