  1. Thank you, Peter, for a very detailed explanation on what looks like the next few moons of warfare on the Eastern front. It would be interesting to get your thoughts---and excuse me if I have already said this---on what retired US General David Petraeus said about the Ukraine counteroffensive. He said in a recent interview that the US military or President Biden would never okay an American counteroffensive attack like the Ukrainians are attempting now without the following things happening: carpet bombing by B1 Bombers of the mine fields, G-9 Bulldozers cleaning up the remaining mines and taking out dragons' teeth. Apache Attack helicopters blasting armored vehicles and strafing trenches. Warthog ground support air cover planes to protect advancing troops and wipe out enemy fighters scattered across the battlefields and trenches, fighter planes dominating the skies and taking out artillery batteries, missile ships and bombing everything that looks like a military stronghold. Then and only then---according to General Petraeus---would US troops be allowed to go to battle. What I think everyone is missing in our criticism of why the Ukrainian counteroffensive is only making slow progress is that we should accept the fact that the west i.e., NATO and its allies have okayed for the Ukrainians to go through those murder holes on a counteroffensive operation that no modern military in the world would attempt without the above-mentioned kit and weapons systems and heavy equipment! And then we have the gall to publicly call them out for making poor progress against heavily-fortified dug in Russian positions.
