Excellent article. The Ukrainian offensive that never was or will be.
Russian forces in exposed positions west of the Dnepr River....
I guess Russia has to keep pushing west in order to compensate for the 16 US long range artillery pieces. Russia was never going to do anything more than capture the east side of the river; now it is imperrative that they continue pushing west in order to force Z-man to terms. The original terms have been altered by the introduction of US equipment. Once those first 3 cities west of the Dnepr River fall, the entire underbelly of the Ukraine is wide open to deep penetration and literally nothing left to stop Russia from Kiev.
The US press has essentially accepted the reality of US NATO miscalculations and the end in sight.
