  1. Kofman is an idiot. Full of hopium and empty on reality. "Hold, Build, Strike" sounds alot like the failed strategy in Afg "Clear, Hold, Build". So much for "re-imagining success" 😂 "Russia could take a break, rearm and come back in a year". Smells like the rationale behind the Minsk agreements 🤔 The legacy tanks, T55/62 were sent to the LPR/DPR forces not to main Russian forces who use T72/80 and mostly T90s. Russian quality is NOT going down. Their army now is better and bigger than the first day of the war. "Manpower is over-rated" 😂😂😂 Ms. Ashford: "Ukr was not as successful as they wanted". The UA was soundly DEFEATED. They only dented the Russian security zone (like a crumple zone in a car) in 1 or 2 places. "Defence is easier than offense", then why is the UA taking more casualties in the defence than RU attackers in Mariopul, Bakhmut, Adiivka.... what secret ingredient was Russia come up with? Shovels? And yes, Ms. Ashford, you will have to work hard to sell that Ukraine is winning. Real hard. , for one, am looking to the post war "mission accomplished" spin. And that she says that Ukraine will join "European Institutions" (NATO) is the crux of the problem. And Russia will continue to pound that idea out of Ukrainian skulls until the UA collapses or the Kiev regime agrees to it in a war termination negotiation. In Kerson, the Russians caused 30k casualties on UA then they pulled out overnight. Across a major river. That's a major feat. They decided that the risk to supplying the Western bank had more risks than benefits. In Kharkov, yes, the Russians were not dug in. But these were Rossgardia (gendarmerie forces) not soldiers. Yet they inflicted 20k casualties on UA with long range fires. And they sent their VDV (airborne) forces to assist and cover Rossgardia troops withdrawal with light casualties. The ground they can get back later. This is what a retrograde operation looks like. UA has never been able to pull one off.
