  1. Gen Milley has clearly thought about this 100 times more than the politicians in our Congress and executive branch. But I heard Scott Ritter say the same for Gen Colin Powell, but Ritter said Powell as honest and honerable as he was still lied to congress about WMDs in Iraq. We have great men and women in our military, not just courage but also wisdom. But our politicians don't listen.

  2. Andriy is saying, we've defined winning to be what ever it is we're doing. Gaining territory is not needed to win, pushing through Russia's defenses is not necessary to win. Fiona says the fact that land mines are killing huge numbers of Ukrainian soldiers really means Russia is losing. Huh? The US has run out of regular 155mm ammo to send to Ukraine, that doesn't matter either. What does matter? Zelensky with the CIA's approval has tried every way he can to draw the US/NATO into a direct war against Russia and failed. But NATO is telling Ukraine, keep fighting till the last Ukrainian, we admire your sacrifice. You will win in the end. Zelensky is a modern day Churchill. How does the war end? It ends with the last Ukrainian. Did we mention Zelensky ia a modern day CHurchil?

  3. The arrogance and agressiveness of Americans is unbounded. Russia should kneel when we bark orders. Russia intervened in our regime change operation in Syria and stopped it. That's why we're trying to destroy Russia now. When the USSR collapsed, the west tried to swoop into Russia and buy the whole country on the cheap. A number of US firms lost billions in the process. Their revenge has been building for decades. But our economic sanctions are kiling Europe, not Russia. And when Ukraine came close to a peace deal with Russia, we sent Boris Johnson to veto peace. Now the west is tiring of supporting the Ukraine war. A majority of Americans don't support sending more aid to Ukraine. Similarly a majority of Germans. The neocons still have control of both the US and German and almost all EU countries, who act against the best interests of their people. The whole world is de-dollarizing. But this is a process that will take a decade to happen. It will be sped up by the US govt's 2 trillion/year deficit, that will balloon to 50 trilllion in 10 years with interest payments of 2,5 trillion/yr.
