“Last March, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that as a result of significant Western support, the Ukrainian military’s spring offensive had “a very good chance for success.””

Well, in Austin’s defense the offense has been successful, at least for Putin, that is.

Eighteen months in to a ten day war and Ukraine is stalemating mighty Ruzzia. That alone is a victory.

I feel like I’ve seen this story at least once before, a month or two ago.

Reminds me a bit of our effort in Vietnam. Biden and his establishment buddies seem to want to just give Ukraine enough to keep the war going, but not enough to drive the Russians out. Endless conflict is good for business.

The war is going just as planned. We are in year two of forever. It is exactly what the MIC wants.

Ukraine is being systematically destroyed, basically acting as cannon fodder to a bunch of psychopaths.

The American have been lied to once again, after a while you would think the American in large numbers would hold these people accountable.

In a sane world and government, people like Austin, Milley and any advisor to Biden would resign or be fired, except Biden is perfectly fine with all this.

The Ukrainians gave their timing away.

This allowed Russians to easily not have soldiers on leave and to run its arms factories on massive overtime.

Do we know when the Russian offensive will be? No, and for good reason from the Russian point of view.

Why is it that in the last few years I have been convinced we have the dumbest general officers in DOD ever????? As an ex-officer from a family with many veterans, these guys (and gals) scare me to death.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is an idiot, much like General Milley. Whatever they say, the opposite is true or will happen.

Whose offensive is failing changes daily. Europe is the reason for any Ukrainian failure. It’s their problem.

I can answer the question asked in the headline. Nothing about the tranny coke head is real. Coke-insky is irrelevant. NATO has had a hard-on to attack or somehow disable russia for the last 20 years. They built up an army in Uke land [2nd largest, best equipped as of Feb 22, 2022]. Uke didn’t build up that army on their own. There’s no way they could ever afford it - even allowing for the widespread corruption that is the hallmark of Uke society. Proxy wars can work, if each side is using a proxy. Not so much when its proxy vs. world nuclear power, WW2 victor, massive natural resources and with a space program rivaling and exceeding in some aspects that of the USA.

In other words, when you deal with pigs, you get covered in pig sh*t and its really hard to wash off.

The daily “Ukraine is Lost” post is either late for the day, or early for tomorrow.

#1 There aren’t going to be any winners
in that war.
Kind of like our civil war, we are still
stuck with Democrats fuking up our lives.
Sue for a shitty peace and then quietly kill all
Russians in their land.

"Why Ukraine’s counter-offensive is failing"

Might have something to do with God hating nazis and Nazism... Just saying.
