  1. Preston, I can see why it would be difficult for a US Army officer to understand what constitutes success in an existential war, a war where you are invaded. The US has never been invaded and doesn’t consider an invasion as a real threat. In an invasion like Ukraine there is only one strategic goal: recapture (liberation) of ALL occupied territories. Period. As such, objectives for offensive operations all rest on one goal: taking territory back and giving up none. Any day when you are capturing back any land at all, even an inch, is a success, as long as you’re doing it in a sustainable way. Slow and steady wins the race. I also see that you’re not understanding why the US is vague about its plans. Its plans depend on Ukraine’s needs and our partners abilities to deliver. We don’t just give what we want, when we want it. NATO has to do its joint assessments, intelligence agencies have to assess the political and military ramifications and logistics have to be worked out. It’s a dynamic war and with 50 partners, we are constantly hoping someone else will volunteer to take up a task to save us money (so is everyone else.) We have no strategic goal. We are flying by the seat of our pants, as is everyone else in war. The goal is to end the war with Ukraine being satisfied.
