Newsweek ^ | April 15, 2023 | FATMA KHALED

Posted on 04/15/2023 5:18:55 PM PDT by familyop

Igor Girkin, a military blogger and former Russian commander, predicted Ukraine's future offensive, which he thinks might get the Russian President Valdimir Putin and his supporters "out of a state of being on the planet of pink ponies."

Girkin's remarks came as part of an interview posted with English subtitles on Saturday by Twitter account user @TheKremlinYap, which posts segments of Russian state TV.

Another panicky article full of dripping Cognitive Dissonance and projection.

Meanwhile a Massachusetts Guardsman is being railroaded by the very government he swore to protect and defend, simply for leaking proof that Ukraine is nothing but a slush fund for our domestic elites and the military industrial complex.

SCOTT RITTER: NATO Can't do Anything:

What is the military tactic in Ukraine that the media won't explain to us? Don't worry, we've got former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter on the show to explain how Ukraine is on the ropes, no matter what Ukraine or NATO does.

We are in the middle of April and the Battle of Bakhmut is aproaching to its end, with Russians controlling 80% of the city. However, the last 20% of the city under Ukrainian Army control is located in a high terrain surrounded by an important defense system that was recently constructed after their troops withdrew from the eastern shore of Bakhmutovka river at the beginning of march. Looking the recent movements it's expected the priority for Russian troops will be to expand the buffer area around the railway following envelope movements in order to force the remaining Ukrainian troops to retreat further west to the fortified area (1). The second step, but very simultaneous with the first one, of Russians would be to advancing from the old hospital (currently clashes area) along Tolbukhina and Peremohy streets towards Khromove village thus cutting one of the main supply routes to Bakhmut (2) With only one supply route, Russians will focus more on the southern side. Regarding the defensive lines of Ukrainian Army it's expected Russians will try to advance towards Industrial College (3) which Ukrainians will defend hard in order to help the remaining troops to withdrew from the city thus ending the battle.

Have you noticed, the more Ukraine loses the more shrill the pro-Ukrainian propaganda is getting? Sacred Baklmut is slowly falling and all they can talk about is one of several topics: 1. Putin is sick, crazy or stupid. 2. Russian Army has lost whole generations in fanatical human wave attacks. 3. Russians are running out of A. Tanks, B. Rockets. C. Shells, D. Men.
4. Russians now only target civilians and apartment buildings.
Pray for the war to be over soon. Too many lives have been lost. Give peace a chance.

It is both amusing and dismaying to see how many Freepers think that they themselves, their favorite blogger, or retired military or intelligence analyst know more than either Prigozhin or Girkin about the war in Ukraine.

Girkin spent 20 years laying the ground work for the war and Prigozhin's Wagner proxy army (which is exactly what Wagern is) spent the last 10 years fighting it. For reasons I do not understand, that makes them unqualified to criticize Moscow's handling of the war.

As far as I'm concerned, thank God for Ukraine Girkin is not in overall command. He would be able to win or create the Russian army that could win. Fortunately for everyone, that means he has no place in Putin's regime.
