Russia-Ukraine war: White House says to prepare for a 'very long, difficult road ahead'
Fox News ^ | 3/7/22

Posted on 03/07/2022 2:17:12 PM PST by BusterDog

The White House on Monday warned that the "world needs to be prepared for a very long, difficult road ahead" as Russia continues its invasion of Ukraine for a twelfth day.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the United States will continue to support the Ukrainians as they "fight back" but maintained that U.S. troops will not fight in the country and stopped short of vowing a ban on Russian oil imports.

That was always their plan...


I concur. And I’m concerned we may be backing the wrong side. Not to put too fine a point on it, but perhaps we should not back any side in this. Let the two of them work it out.

Is this going to be as bad as the winter of death? This is one of the most optimistic administrations I have ever seen. But on the positive side, their always wrong. So maybe this will be over soon. Just sayin.

“I expect Putin to wrap this up in the next 2-3 weeks.”

Putin thought he was going to wrap it up in two or three days. That didn’t work out and the odds of a Russian victory are becoming more remote with every passing day.

At the outset of this I think the world was watching to see if the Ukrainians would fold and they did not. Instead they’ve hurt the Russians pretty badly...but apparently not as bad as the Russians have hurt themselves with out-of-date weaponry, poorly maintained vehicles, overconfidence, underestimating their victim, and going up against a foe who was literally trained in their same tactics.

Russia’s economy is taking bigger hits than Putin expected and his daily threats of war against people who choose not to trade with Russia are starting to become a joke. He can’t even conquer Ukraine so how’s he supposed to take on the USA and NATO?

If the prog had two brain cells to rub together they could actually figure out that V-O-T-E-R-S are getting beyond sick and tired of hearing prez potato head mumbling about “winters of death” and “long hard roads.”

His mentor little bammy was equally sickening with monotone inspirational hits such as “managing the decline.”

The only decline I have ever seen in this nation is when the neo-communists hiding behind the name “democrat” are ruining, uhh running the show.

It is no wonder the prog almost never appear in public, it would take days to get the rotten egg smell out of their hair and skin.

Biden is fighting a two-front war

one front is against American energy producers

meanwhile, the pentagon says Putin has used almost 100% of the combat power they have accumulated near the Ukrainian and Belarus to invade

and the pentagon sees no indication that Russia is preparing to send forces to Ukraine in addition to those already involved in the war

Russia can of course keep fighting for months and months if they are indifferent to the rate of significant loss of troops and equipment, but they will need to replenish forces

I think Putin is seeing resistance within Russia to being given more resources for his “special operation”

They are trying to mobilize more reservists on the sly, while publicly claiming they are not doing that

They are bringing more supplies in by train and have apparently requisitioned a large body of civilian trucks because of their severe logistical problems in-country

Ukraine killed another Russian Major General (Vitaly Gerasimov) near Kharkiv, deputy commander of the 41st CAA

There has been complete OPSEC on the Ukrainian side about the counter-attack near Kharkiv, but this apparently has resulted from that, amid rumors the counter-attack reached the Russian border

“The “difficult road” having been made more difficult by Biden’s handlers.”

They did, in fact, build that road.

And, record high gas prices and runaway inflation will be the result of all this nonsense. That is, unless we’re stupid enough to get involved in a bloody war.

Difficult for Russia; Putin didn’t think his cunning plan through very well.
