Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine will be studied for centuries by military historians — as a master class in how not to fight. His latest tactic — bombing Ukrainian cities — is yet another desperate and despicable gambit that is likely to backfire.

Turns out Putin, like Biden, is not quite as brilliant as he fancies himself. The difference is... this will likely eventually result in Putin’s demise.

“Little wonder that so few Russians want to serve: The zinc coffins are already coming home with bodies of untrained conscripts rushed to the front lines to face the battle-tested Ukrainians. Russian draftees might as well report straight to the morgue. “

Max Boot - the warmongering neocon from Russia who never served a day in the military but is a renowned expert on warfare.

I posted before the link........thanks.

Of course since the Compost is a primary propaganda outlet of the DNC, we can’t believe any thing in this excellent summary of events. /s

Yeah, Boot. You show ‘em. Use Afghanistan as a great example of how to win.

This guy is one of the sickest neocons still kicking.

“And if I have to vote against Republicans to make sure Ukraine is supported, I’ll consider doing so.”

I’m in that exact situation right now. My congressman is Roger Williams (TX-25). He voted against the last Ukraine funding bill. I’m upset with him, but going to vote straight R during early voting next week.

Only voted D once in my entire life. Jane Byrne for mayor of Chicago.

Can’t cross that threshold yet. But lets see what 2023 and 2024 brings.

The Ukrainian army is developing into a battle tested, battle hardened group. They will be a keystone of the NATO alliance when they join after this war.

“ His latest tactic — bombing Ukrainian cities ”

War is about killing people and breaking things. He can’t take win on the battlefield but he has to show progress . So he is destroying civilian infrastructure and killing civilians.

You can see now that the Ukrainiacs are on old Joey’s side. They actually salivate over the writings of the Trump hating CNN guest Max Boot.

How pathetic.

Boot points out the obvious, wow, what a genius! He is quite gracious with everyone else’s lives and treasure.

I have concluded that the victorious Ukraine rebuilt with Russian assets and reparations will become part of the EU and an honorary member of NATO.

For some undetermined period, the honorary fiction will be necessary to counter all kinds of Russian objections.
