Meanwhile, the objective to denazify the sourthern region, specifically Mariupol, are all but concluded. The envelope Mentz of the main Ukraine forces on the East are complete. It looks like mopping up now in Mariupol and after some rest and refitting the DPR units as well as Chechen and Russian fighters will probably be joining the all out battle that’s about to begin.
I guess Ricks statements about the Chechen forces going home were premature. As always, it’s a game of who’s selling, who’s buying and who’s trying to understand the truth of the reality.
Here’s a West Point lecture from 3 years ago to describe ‘the Russian way of war’. The most pertinent points start at 26:00.
I guess Dr. Karber didn’t realize how poorly maintained, degraded and incompetent the Russian military has gotten from how the Corp news is reporting it in the NATO-sphere...
Here’s Jacque Boad, a former senior NATO military advisor, Swiss army security advisor and former senior intelligence officer in charge of the Warsaw Pact forces during Soviet times. He describes his role on small arms control in the Dunbass region as well as recruitment programs for the Ukranian army while working for NATO. His assessment of the run up to Russia’s invasion and the US’s broader program of crippling Russia to then go after China is interesting and scans for me.
Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthal are on the left politically. They’ve done an excellent job of having guests on from all political sides to discuss this crises. I’m glad there are some out there still doing good journalism and interviews.

I guess he didn't. But, then, that was 3 years ago.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
No. When did he say regime change in his speech? Please be specific.
I heard him say denazify and demilitarize. Im not much interested in senses. I’m paying attention to the ground realities and unambiguous statements.
Are you paying attention to his merciless and ambiguous bombing the holy s*** out of everything and everyone in the pursuit of his noble, unambiguous objectives in a foreign country?

If it isn't the US doing it, he doesn't care.

Much respect to Patrick Lancaster doing very good independent coverage of what’s happening to ordinary people in the Donbas war zone. Really appreciate him able to speak with them in their native language and lets them speak for themselves. Their experiences, how they feel about the government, what’s happening to them, etc.. Lancaster seems to be committed to the truth as they tell it.
“ Are you paying attention to his merciless and ambiguous bombing the holy s*** out of everything and everyone in the pursuit of his noble, unambiguous objectives in a foreign country?”
Brudder please. I’ve grown up in America where we’ve bombed the sh!t out of everything and everyone in pursuit of our noble cause.
Likewise, we’re you paying attention to the past 8 years of shelling by Ukraine forces into civilian areas of the breakaways?
