BTW, Kill the Russian Invaders!
The co-author is Kagan, brother-in-law of Victoria Nuland, the architect of US policy towards Ukraine for the past decade. Not to say they’re wrong. We shall see.
FB and Instagram have green lighted that talk, so you have company on that feeling.
Good luck to you, but.... NCSWIC.
Nothing.
Nonetheless, Kagan has changed his tone.
Russia has stripped their military districts and sent way too much of their military into Ukraine. The economy that allowed Putin to build even this much of a Russian military is now ended and pretty quick the logistics troops are going to be put in the field.
Because that’s what’s left.
Putin at one point claimed that Russia’s best professional soldiers were handling this war and now his own MOD says there’s a bunch of conscripts and reserves in it.
Russia is not going to win this thing. They had a chance and now that chance is vaporizing before their eyes.
Bad news for Putin. Time is not on his side while his currency crashes and his stock market turned to penny stocks.
Yes, he has
we should all go to the mediterranean and grab us some russian superyachts while supplies last
Invader tank losses at 173 documented. Probably above 200, 250 with undocumented losses. Out of 1200 tanks at onset of war.
They’ve lost 1/6 of their tanks in 2 weeks!
But Little Pukin says they are “on plan”. They must have had a bad plan.

Oil has been retreating from the highs earlier in the week. Kagan was also a Iraq war fanboy.
Have to note that Ukraine also participated in Afghanistan, and Ukrainian Special Forces rescued a bunch of Canadians trapped in Kabul when it fell.
Didn't see the Russians there.
Hardly. Over half of those “documented” are actually destroyed Ukranian tanks. You are buying into the leftist agit-prop.
Kimberly Kagan is founder and president of the Institute for the Study of War. She is an advocate of long-term U.S. military engagement abroad, particularly in Afghanistan and Syria. She has been critical of both current and past U.S. administrations, arguing that both Donald Trump and Barack Obama failed to implement “a robust enough humanitarian or civil society or military approach” in U.S. foreign affairs.[1]
When the history books are written, the Russian invasion of Ukraine will go down as one of the greatest military blunders of modern times, possibly of all time. A little megalomaniacal dictator who overplayed his hand brought his moderately prosperous nation to ruin.
people like to counter with all news is propaganda... sure... putting all that aside.
even stevie wonder can see that the russian has not won yet in two weeks.
as for nukes... i can see why we never use them again even in vietnam.
Ukrainian special forces have been trained by US (and allies). Much improved military.
Significantly, the military leadership ranks have been replaced with vets from the 8 years of war in the east. That replaced a lot of potentially secret “pro-Russian” elements in the military leadership.
In the interview today, Zelensky admitted that Ukrainians cannot hold off the Russians indefinitely without a no-fly zone.
Zelensky is trying desperately to get NATO involved.
The Ukrainians made a deal with the devil. Biden and the Eurotrash have hung them high and dry.
The clear message is: NO HELP IS COMING! YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!
“You’ve been using Kim Kagan’s Institute for the Study of War to form your opinions?”
I’m saying their tone has changed since the war started. Do you disagree?
