“Might have”

That’s when you’re winning.

Ukraine's top general wanted a bold counteroffensive a year earlier that the US thought was too risky.

Two years from now the "Business Insider" will be "reporting" that Zelensky "wanted a bold Nuclear counteroffensive a year earlier that the US thought was too risky".

The only difference is that more Ukrainians will be dead.

Sure. Bad strategy is the reason Ukraine is losing not the fact they are facing a military vastly superior with far more firepower.

Ukraine is totalitarian hellhole that just murdered an American citizen. It not only deserves to die, it must die.

[Bonemaker]

Too bad they listen to US military brass.

Ukraine would already be speaking Russian if those “Ukrainian generals” were left to their own devices. What a line o’crap. Wait, a lot of Ukraine already does speak Russian.

Ukraine's forces slammed against stiff Russian defenses in southern Ukraine this summer, and ultimately, the counteroffensive failed.

It didn't help that Ukraine announced the counteroffensive six months in advance. It gave Russian army engineers plenty of time to build fortifications.

The Ukes would have never been able to secure the land bridge to Crimea. Too much territory that would require two fronts. They would have never made it to Melitopol.

Would have been more informative if the “journalist” here identified the source who asked for the post.

If my aunt had testicles she might have been my uncle.

But Biden didn't did he, why is that? Could he really be assisting Russia instead?

[McGruff]

Monday morning quarterbacking?

[hardspunned]

I bet the Ukes are glad they waited. Why jump into a risky offensive when you can wait and have DC plan and pay for the catastrophic so called counter offensive?

[shanover]

Imagine Eisenhower with the yips.

Well it might have changed the war somewhat since it would happen before Russia had dug in and mobilized.

But I imagine any gains would be lost eventually after Russia mobilized.

However, I am not sure I believe this report. As other reports suggest NATO wanted to run a blitzkrieg/D-Day suicide run to break through the Russian lines as the summer counter offensive but UKR said no. They preferred the piece meal probing attacks and diverted many troops to defend Bahkmut rather than storming the Russian lines.

[Burma Jones]

They coulda pulled off a major offensive if they’d just had 90 howitzers? Really??

[mac_truck]

I'd say Zalushny might have been distracted. Here he is with his 'assistant', Alla Martynyuk.

[ransomnote]

They didn’t want a ‘bold counter offensive’ because Zelensky was in no shape militarily to launch one. This re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic gets old...

[Gaffer]

Yeah. Shoulda, coulda, woulda.
