That's not a new assessment for that particular author.
In December he wrote, "Calling-russia-a-weak-state-with-a-garbage-military-is-a-mistake"
In November it was, "Putin’s Coming Winter Offensive Is a Clear Threat to Ukraine"
And last August it was, "Ukraine Needs a Miracle to Drive Russia’s Military Out of Kherson"


That particular journalist has never seen a way Ukraine could win. In fact, his book, "The Eleventh Hour in 2020 America" is an attack on American policy. He is a retired Lt Colonel. Has little credibility.

No they are not all that crazy.

Because when both ( Zelensky and Graham) are cheering the death of Russians, they don't mention the massive deaths of Ukrainians as well, organized on American money.

Both cultures ( Russian and Ukrainian, since it's one and the same thing) are highly homophobic in their essence and very anti-LGBTE/32 genders.

At that Ukraine that was overtaken by US, is actively pushing for LGBTE agenda, while their most "manly men" are killed in thousands on the front lines.

So give it a thought - what's going on, as a bigger picture.

He assumes Ukraine lost more men in the fight for Bakhmut and elsewhere and at best broke even.

Even the Russians indicate they lost more men in Bakhmut than the Ukrainians did.

That is really the only point he has to make is that Ukraine lost a lot of men in Bakhmut. And he admits he has no data on the relative loss of men. He just assumes since the Russians had more artillery that the Ukrainians lost more.

I wondered who he was. Its a common name and the main two I found were a FL politician and the actor who played Moriarity on Star Trek-TNG. Didn't think he was either of those.

Or forgot that the North Vietnamese consistently lost more men but they were the home team, not the invasion force trying to slice a piece off of someone else. When the men told to go to a foreign land when the resistance to go fight became stronger.

The Russians are not fighting Hitler or Napoleon invading them.

Well I would like to keep people to higher standards, while they are making the controversial statements.
It's only fair, when one party make research and post the thoughtful, detailed posts backing them up with the links, while the other party provides the wishful thinking and backs it up with some videos from the Sun tabloid.


P.S. And "Denys" of course.

Russia just lost hundred of soldiers in Mariupol.

Russian sources: They hate us here. They follow us around and aim missiles at us. They are waiting for the Ukrainian army to arrive.
