“American officials have assessed that it is unlikely the offensive will result in a dramatic shift in momentum in Ukraine’s favour.”
Nothing like letting the Russians and everybody else know that they are starting an offensive.
Why is this out there?
When in the history of warfare, has the planning and strategy of one side been broadcast to the other side? Don’t bother answering, because on some level we all know the answer. This mess will be over soon. The Ukraine is ruined, and Russia has destroyed the hollow NATO military.
It’s all about separating gullible Americans from their money.
“Nothing like letting the Russians and everybody else know that they are starting an offensive.”
“the offensive” is a political imperative.
Do or die.

Ukraine requires a resounding victory. Nothing less will do.
And how many more billions will this cost the American taxpayer?
A shitpot full.
Don’t tell Russia...it’s a secret.
Russia: Thanks for the head’s up.
I kind of doubt it. The thrill is gone.

Why would they want to fight with their lives for a corrupt government? The only way they will fight is by being conscripted. The smart ones are refugees in other countries.
