Ukraine is on the brink, says a senior general
X ^

Posted on 05/02/2024 1:37:55 PM PDT by janetjanet998

A very sobering @olliecarroll interview with Ukraine’s deputy mil intel chief. He says Chasiv Yar will fall eventually, that Ukraine is far from stabilising the front and that Russia is “generating a division of reserves” & wants to strike at Sumy/Kharkiv.

‘Right now, both sides are jockeying for the “the most favourable position” ahead of potential talks. But meaningful negotiations can begin only in the second half of 2025 at the earliest, he guesses

Anyone engaged in a land war against Russia (on Russia’s doorstep) will always be on the brink. End it!

I have found out that if JavaScript is disabled for websites with a paywall, you can sometimes get through ok. I do that for a local newspaper. Granted, many times the graphics are all gone, but as long as I can read the article I'm good.

I disabled JavaScript for that website and I viewed the article just fine.

Ukraine has been on the brink since the invasion began, but in reality, they’ve been on the brink since Crimea was taken by Russia.

Israel is on the brink too.

This is the result of poking the bear at Uncle Sam’s behest.
He jumps out of the way and you get eaten!
(Yes,this sounds anti American but my reading of our history since WW2 is we tend to stir up or get involved in other nation’s problems then when the political heat gets too warm, we bail but only after the multitude of deaths and incalculable lost of public treasury and faith in our government.)

Biden’s war
——

Lots of doom and gloom from Ukraine the past couple of weeks
Even from big Z himself

They seem to be focused on late May early June time frame as the “most difficult”. I wonder why. Is US intel picking something up?

Maybe Johnson knows this and decided that Biden/Ukraine won’t have the excuse that Republicans are to blame when things get bad later so he passed the aid package?

“But meaningful negotiations can begin only in the second half of 2025”

That’s BS. They can start anytime both sides agree to meaningful negotiations.

I don’t know why the second half of 2025 is the magic date for negations, there must be some sense of logic to it. Could it be he thinks Trump will be in power and insist on an end to this war and it will take a couple months to get it organized?

Yep, that’s exactly what they’re doing. They’re up to the tops of their heads in Ukrainian blood and don’t give a damn.

It will the time of year after the winter thaw when the land is supposedly dry enough to armor to roll anywhere they want.

Russia also has somewhere around 300,000 soldiers in reserve, the speculation is they will take Karkiev and possibly Odessa over the summer.

The speculation is if they take both cities will they make a move on Kiev.

Unless your name is Genghis Khan, you have no business invading Russia.

Well, it's a good thing we're giving that $61 billion worth of state-of-the-art U.S. military equipment to Russia via Kiev...

I'm sure Moscow is thanking Brandon for the Patriot Anti-Aircraft missile batteries to study.

Yes. Biden was jerking Ukraine around years ago while he was VP. Using Ukraine like it was a free ATM machine.

Then things got worse. Biden and his NATO buddies goaded Russia into war.

Then things got even more worse. Biden and the Uniparty are sending billions to Ukraine while ignoring the real problems on our border.
