The highest ranking military officer in the U.S. said Tuesday that he expects the conflict in Ukraine to last years.

"I do think this is a very protracted conflict, and I think it's measured in years. I don't know about decade, but at least years for sure," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley told the House Armed Services Committee Tuesday during testimony on the defense budget.

"This is a very extended conflict that Russia has initiated and I think that NATO, the United States, Ukraine and all of the allies and partners supporting Ukraine will be involved in this for quite some time," Milley said.

Good news... “Thoroughly Modern Milley” is usually wrong about everything, so this war will likely be over soon.

He needs to prepare for disappointment. This will be over pretty soon.

Milley was spot on with his recommendation about Afghanistan. He should retire yesterday! FJB

Better chase the tank to get warm, Deutschie Boy.

The boys at The Duran say that the neocons are gonna have the Germans on the spit, next.

I'll see if I can fish up that discussion for you. It was interesting. Oaf and Habeck can try to dance to the neocons' tune - but apparently, it ain't gonna matter.

The Germans are going to get shivved in the back by the globalists.

Sad.

Oh. You are still angry about Ukrainians defending their freedom against the invading Russians.
That makes you a deranged pos.

Beware the Ides of whatever month the globalists decide to shiv the Germans in the back.

How's that food and energy inflation working out for you modern-day Weimar Boys, anyways?

Best hope that Habeck gets those stolen Gazprom natgas storage facilities full for this coming winter - lest it be a chilly and expensive one...

I'm doing very well.
Actually going away on vacation next week.
Don't let me leave you sad Putin Stooge...
on Wednesday, Lavrov painted a picture of a new "world order," saying the world was "living through a very serious stage in the history of international relations."

"We, together with you, and with our sympathizers (Putin Stooges) will move towards a multipolar, just, democratic world order," Lavrov said in a video released by the Russian foreign ministry ahead of a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
