Questions that need to be asked...
Actually, Kyiv and all of Ukraine was the original goal, except that the Russian attempt at a coup de main was a spectacular failure.
“We’ll only find out the true story in the next twenty years or so”
There is still debate about whether Hitler really died in the Berlin bunker.
Stalin never believed it—and he had the best sources of information. Of course that didn’t stop him from publicly celebrating Hitler’s “death”.
The more I study history the more I am convinced it is mostly a pack of lies.
Everybody has an axe to grind/conflict of interest—and often very good reasons for hiding things, especially during wartime when there can be hidden individual or group atrocities—whether sanctioned or unsanctioned.
The Panic has set in as the weather becomes dry.
Russian troops are only overrunning their rear lines to get away from what is coming, but with Storm Shadows there is no rear, just ask the 450 well trained troops that are no more.
Good info. Explains why they don’t have Odesa yet and why they may not get it.
Kicking around our military on Memorial Day?
There were a couple of places where the coup de main strategy worked. One was in breaking out of Crimea, and the other was in crossing the Dneiper and taking Kherson. The combination of fast moving armored columns and “silver bullets”, the bribing of Ukrainian government and military officials, worked there, if nowhere else.
It succeeded in giving Russia the Kherson bridgehead, and in turning the Ukrainian southern flank, exposing Mariupol to encirclement.
Unfortunately for the Russians they didn’t allocate sufficient forces to the southern operation to exploit their breakthroughs as much as they could have, in a second stage advance. A third of the force allocated to Kiev could, likely, have taken Mykolaiev, on the road to Odessa, or taken the Dneiper line from the rear, isolating Eastern Ukraine.
Finally we get the straight story.....straight from Putin’s puppets.
A Russian puppet.
Like the Colonel, I’m also a retired Army Field Grade Officer and will drag his name all over the mud hole. He is a Russian shill and puppet who is doing his best to undermine the freedom fighters in Ukraine and advance the Russian dictator.
We don’t care about what you claim you’ve done. You appear to be a Neocon who is embracing Biden’s foreign policy. IMO, you couldn’t make a pimple on MacGregor’s backside 🤡☮️👍
“kicking around our military”
This from a Russian troll or a traiter who supports our enemies.
You spelled traitor wrong 😑. As I said, you’re Very Low IQ.
Which means Biden will BORROW more and send the money to Ukraine. Zelensky is very rich already. He owns a beautiful villa in Florida.
Do you find being an idiot to be painful??
“We don’t care about what you claim you’ve done. You appear to be a Neocon who is embracing Biden’s foreign policy. IMO, you couldn’t make a pimple on MacGregor’s backside “
Lots of people claim to have personal experience. Hell, just to see if I could get away with it, I once claimed to have two, opposing, histories on the same thread. Incredible how many people believed me...and no one saw what I was doing. It was REALLY funny, which is why I don’t give a moment to what people claim about themselves.

Love of Stolen valor (DITHF) and BS stories surface after a few 🍺 beers. As a if this mess is America’s business. They couldn’t shine his shoes.
Lots
Well you should know how to spell traitor since you are one.
Can you spell simpleton? How about Biden boot lick? Neocon?
