  1. There is no one to blame for Ukraine's counteroffensive gains or losses. General David Petraeus, America's favorite retired general, was asked what a counteroffensive would look like if American troops were on the front lines against the Russians in eastern Ukraine. First, he of all he said before one soldier was allowed to make one step into enemy territory, B1 bombers would carpet bomb the minefields. G-9 Bulldozers would be sent in to clean up the kilometers of dragons' teeth. Ground support aircraft like the feared Apache attack helicopters and Warthog fighter planes with 50 mm cannon would Straif the trenches and retreating troops. Back behind enemy lines F16s would take out hidden artillery batteries, everything that moves or drives or rolls on the battlefield or back roads like support vehicles or troop transporters would be annihilated and destroyed. The Ukrainians have tanks, and Himars, but there would be Tacams that could take out military installations far behind enemy lines. Does anyone see where I am going here? We have criticized the Ukrainians for going on a counteroffensive that the most powerful army in the world would not attempt without all the forementioned kit and gear and equipment. Let's be real: the Ukrainians would be able to puncture enemy lines and take back Crimea in mere days if they only had the weapons.
