It is of course hard to figure out what is going on on battlefields, but it appears the Ukrainians are retreating from Backmut. So they may be attempting the most difficult maneuver in war IMHO: an orderly retreat.

It seems like up to this point, the stories in the Western press was of plucky Ukrainians slaughtering 10’s of thousands of Russian cannon fodder. Now it looks like they are having to admit that Ukrainian losses may also be severe. They have died for what? Nationalism always has its payment in blood.

The battle for Bakhmut seems to be similar to the Battle of Stalingrad now. Will it end the same? What would that do to the attitude of the EU enablers of Ukraine?

So I’m hearing from multiple sources that the generation of Ukrainian officers trained by the West in preparation for war has now been mostly lost in battle.

Mentioned a few weeks ago that I saw the first footage of M-113s in Ukraine. Now I’ve seen footage of a destroyed M-113. Also, some alleged drone footage of a Leopard 2 being brewed up.

Is Zelensky a con man? Only time will tell. He did take his Magical Misery Tour to Mexico trying to whip up support for his anti-Russia crusade. I can’t understand why Mexicans would give a rats ass. What has Russia ever done to them?

There is now rumors of a backlash with Ukrainian soldiers being cannon fodder for Zelensky’s war. As the cliche goes, NATO is happy to fight the war to the last Ukrainian. Of course NATO dreamed it would be Russian soldiers would be the ones to hesitate. What is the truth? No way to know, yet.

There is evidence that the remaining Ukrainians in Bakhmut have been effectively encircled, possibly up to three brigades. A large number of pow’s is not going to look good for Zelensky’s PR campaign. Zelensky’s Big Push needs to happen soon. He can’r wait for those 31 indestructible Abrams from the US.

Quote from the NYT: “ Mr. Biden’s aides and European officials say their best hope is for Ukraine to make substantial gains during the counteroffensive, which would give it more leverage in any negotiations.” So thousands of Ukrainian soldiers can look forward to their deaths for the sake of “more leverage in any negotiations”? I wonder how many neocons pushing this bloodbath profess to be Christians?

From the NYT: “ Mr. Zelensky is concerned that as the American presidential race heats up, President Biden will be less able to lead diplomatic efforts, German and Ukrainian officials said. Should a Republican win the White House, officials worry there will be a collapse in leadership among Western allies.” Hard to believe that the Democrats have become the bloodthirsty warmonger party.

Another day, another escalation in the Ukraine: F-16s are being promised to Zelensky. Are these the over used term “game changers”? Whose F-16s are these? How old are they? Always, more questions than answers. How much longer can the Neocon’s Great Crusade continue? Consider how much effort it took to defeat Germany. Will Russia be any easier? How many Americans really care?

Apparently the war in Ukraine is still fun for the neocons. They are relentlessly pushing for more arms for the plucky Ukrainians.

So who blew up the dam? Unlike the Nord Stream 2 sabotage, this is not so obvious, at least to me. The Nazis blew up dams to slow Allied advances, but the British blew up dams to damage German infrastructure. Who gains from this destruction? I know who loses: Europe’s reputation as a civilized culture. Again.

It’s pretty sad watching Russian drone videos of Ukrainians being blown to bits. What a waste of young lives. For what? Borders?

From the NYT: “ Retaking Villages Leaves Ukrainian Troops Exposed and Diving for Cover”. So even the Uber-Neocon NYT is starting to admit the plucky Ukrainians may not have things in hand, after they sucker-punched the Russians in the Kharkov region last summer. So what next? NATO has to turn up the heat, of course. More tanks, F-16s, and maybe even NATO troops on the ground. They better hurry. Americans don't tolerate unnecessary wars that go on too long. Then again, they did put up with our war on Afghanistan for 20 years.
