COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, you are truly a voice in the wilderness. Many claim to understand what is unfolding but lack the experience. They are like an academic pretending to be a market forecaster who has never traded. We all know what that’s like. You said there was no way the West did not know about this invasion into Russia when even the press here reported that the UK provided the tanks for the invasion. I fear you are right. They are trying to force Putin to attack a NATO country to rig the election for Kamala.

“ Zelensky faces outpouring of criticism over failure to warn of war” By Liz Sly Washington Post Aug 2022”

REPLY: Let’s get real. Even the Washington Post realized that Zelensky knew in advance when Putin would invade. He said he did not warn his people because it would have cost him $7 billion. Russia knew they were coming; Putin was neither surprised nor a fool.

Even if you read Sun Tzu (544–496BC) The Art of War, he states: “Do not pursue an enemy who simulates flight.” Traditionally, this advice cautions you not to pursue an enemy that unexpectedly runs away or shows a weaker force. In this case, Putin is most likely using the inexperience and plain arrogance of Zelensky, who has commanded this army to invade Russia.

Zelensky’s arrogance will not let him retreat, for that would be a loss of face, and that might mean the West stops pouring billions into his pockets. Thus, let them enter Russia, for only when any nation is invaded will the people rise up. They will not for an ancillary war as was the case with Vietnam, Iraq, etc, etc, etc.

This invasion will boost Putin – not reduce him. Zelensky has pulled his most experienced troop from the Donbas to pull off this media stunt.

Even the ancient historian Herodotus reported that the Spartans used the feigned-retreat tactic at the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC) to defeat a force of Persian Immortals. This is a tactic that is as old as war. The Carthaginians used that against the Romans at the Battle of Agrigentum, in Sicily (262 BC) during the First Punic War. The Carthaginian general Hanno came to the rescue of Carthaginians and instructed his famous Numidian cavalry to attack the Roman cavalry and then feign retreat. The Romans pursued the Numidians as they retreated and were brought into the hands of the main Carthaginian army. Eventually, the Romans defeated the Carthaginians and forced their retreat.

I do not like to comment on military strategy for fear of giving ideas to either side, but this is clear as day. This will not end well for Ukraine. They have a high-heel-dancing moron for their chief military strategist.

This shows that NATO has honestly invaded Russia. They are praying that Putin acts irrationally so they can pretend he started this war. They need to have NATO attacked to also try to get the Europeans to believe the propaganda the media has been publishing that Russia will conquer all of Europe.

If Ukraine loses – We Get World Peace!

Most don’t realize St Z knew war was coming, to the very day but failed to warn his nation.

Much written about this, on both Western and non Western MSM….the corrupted beggar had $$$ 7 billion to make.

There is a theory that Zelensky was supposed to surrender to Putin. That is why Putin sent in an insufficient number of troops to takeover Ukraine. It was more like a military parade than an invasion.

However, a patriotic general in the south diverted his troops against Zelensky's order and intercepted the military parade and killed many of the participants.

After that, Zelensky had to go along with the military and the Azov brigades or risk assassination.

Zelensky is now between a rock and a hard place. He continues and eventually gets deposed when Ukraine surrenders, or he surrenders now and gets killed by Azov.

Expect him to visit DC soon, give a speech, and then settle in Miami with a very large security detail.

Armstrong is a military strategist? About like Montgomery

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Actually yes.

[pierrem15]

Straight up kookery. The “Biden-Harris” regime has made it quite clear that they would prefer Ukraine dies quietly after giving just enough support to pretend they did something. After all, they offered Zelensky a ride out in the first week, which shows they were willing to write off the whole country.

Russia invaded South Vietnam?

[canuck_conservative]

Idiotic theory

Simplest explanation is most likely ... Ukraine are just tough fighters, and the Russian military sucks

[who_would_fardels_bear]

The theory is from a highly intelligent Ukrainian American who speaks both Ukrainian and Russian and intently reviewed all the reports coming from both sides during the initial phase of the hostilities.

For a long time he believed that Ukraine would win due to their superior will and effectiveness, but lately has lost hope since Zelensky demoted Saluzhny (sp?) and put Syrsky (sp?) in charge.
