Top NATO general praises Ukraine’s ‘great’ war strategy

Although Ukrainian forces are being slowly pushed back in some places along the front, the country's overall military strategy is a good one, Gen. Christopher Cavoli, NATO's top general, said during the Aspen Security Forum.

“The Ukrainians right now for these past few months have been focused on defending what they have in the east, denying Russia the free use of Crimea and southern Ukraine to attack the rest of Ukraine, preserving their access to the Black Sea and generating force,” the U.S. general said.

“I think that they’ve got a great strategy. It is just a matter of prosecuting it. The key part is the force generation,” Cavoli added in a speech on Thursday at the U.S. security and foreign policy conference.

The strategy that has resulted in five times plus the casualties that the Russians have is NATO’s. All the planning for this catastrophe originated in the Pentagon.

Ukraine used up all of its young men, there working on eliminating older guys and started eliminating women.
This is very effective population control but not so much for winning a war.

Did this guy also praise Austin and Milley’s Afghanistan withdrawal strategy?

NATO’s just looking for enough time to move into Finland.

Apparently, the Democrats have locked onto offshore locations for their shenanigans.

Yeah they must have an awful strategy. How many YEARS have they held off Russia?
They have achieved an incredible level of success against a much larger more powerful brutal enemy.
Prove that wrong.

I would definitely rather have the Ukrainians on our side than on the Russian side. They have a tiny fraction of Russias resources but have fought them to a standstill.

It seems each side’s strategy seeks to emulate Haig, or Joffre, or von Falkenhayn. And they’re doing a good job of it.
