And if this was a grand campaign to attrit the UA to surrender, it has been a failure. 2.5 years and still fighting. If FR got a nickle everytime I read here that the end was near for the UA army, FR could skip a freepathon.
Ukraine is probably down to 400k soldiers at this point, and most of their combat effective are now engaged with no remaining reserves. It’s been a long slog, but the AFU is kaput. Dangerous but defeated for all intents and purposes.
Why is Zelinski screaming for negotiations this morning, and a freeze? It ain’t becasue Ukraine is doing okay.
The US is pivoting to Israel as I type. Zelinski is being repalced given all the former commanders popping up along with NEO-Cons in the news. Now Z-man is forced to talk.
His 24 Sept presentation to the UN will be meant with deaf ears. Long ago he and the US opted for a battlefield solution.
Russia is delivering on the battlefield solution.
