Judge Napolitano and Col Macgregor about the current situation in Ukraine.
The Eastern city of Bakhmut is now known as the Russian name Artyomovsk after Russia claimed that it has taken full control of the battleground city. Ukrainian President Zelensky has been reluctant to admit it. When asked if Ukraine still controlled the city he said, “I think no.” He wouldn’t know first hand because he has been out of Ukraine since the Kremlin attack in early May. Bakhmut is in the Donetsk region, which voted to join Russia last September. Ukraine has been fighting to change their mind even as must of the city’s 70,000 residents have since fled. President Biden says that the Russians have suffered over 100,000 casualties in Bakhmut but no one knows where that number came from. He also said that Ukraine has “been able to lock down the Wagner group” but the head of the Wagner group says that the group will leave the area on Thursday and hand over control to the Russian military. No Western tanks or F-16s were used to defend Bakhmut and President Biden says that they wouldn’t have helped anyway. This is an important loss for Ukraine and the West and even still they say that a counteroffensive is coming. The Wall Street Journal reports that Ukraine didn’t fight very hard in Bakhmut anyway because they instead “used that time to rearm and to bulk up its military.” Do you buy that? Weapons, sure. The West has kept ‘em coming. But where do these extra personnel come from?
Biden, spring offensive start date. Lula stood up by Elensky. F16s will win. Greece elections. U/1 Topic 967
White House and Pentagon are manned by idealists, all the few realists are kicked out the building. 😦
Chief ideologist Biden doubles down on his self-destructive path. 😮
Alexander can’t hide his amusement. 😐
After all those commentators and military analysts, let’s face it: Bakhmut was the turning point of the conflict. The West’s Stalingrad and Waterloo rolled into one. 😮 And the Russians are not available for negotiations, why would they be? They are willing to accept Ukraines unconditional surrender tho.
