    I feel very skeptical of this article coming completely out of left field compared to…literally everything else.

      If you have been paying attention to the fronts. There’s maps that if accurate paint a not great picture for Ukraine. Every spot where they gain ground is matched with another spot where they lose.

      The first casualty of war is the truth, and I know I’ve had a very hard time trying to see through the B.S.

      The biggest indicator I’ve read is that US generals have been upset with the speed of the Ukrainian forces. Meaning they’re taking too long to take territory back. Just one example though.

        That’s…a whole lotta nothing that someone could argue from either side of the argument.

        You really just sound like a propaganda worker than an actual person.

          Now you’re being paranoid and rude. They said they have a hard time seeing thru fog of war.

          They’re describing statements from the pentagon & maps from ISW. Quite well. So they clearly are just assuming the negatives both sides admit for themselves are true. That’s a good rational process for a casual observer, no?

          The US top brass is not as rosy on this as Reddit & the Ukrainian MOD &; their twitter OSINTers

          Lol you’re almost starting to try to get it, huh. You’re so fucked I’m ahead by two years. Two years you drank the koolaid.

          No shit they would rather be fighting a war they’re not actively losing. Go look at the House Select Committee on China Chairman Gallagher’s beliefs.

              Exactly.
              For Russia to win, they have to annex a large portion of Ukraine.
              For Ukraine to win, they have to gain lost territory back.
              For the US to win, the war has to go on as long as possible.

              It’s also important to remember that US aid is often a loan.
