The Ukraine today..
« on: September 29, 2023, 06:41:05 AM »
  Why is the MSM not talking about the Ukraine situation?  IMO, because the outook is gloomy at present.  It has turned into a war of attrition..and
   such a conflict doesn't biode well for Ukraine.

  The Euros, who should have been the first to come to their aid...dragged their feet, and the US under Biden, seemed to me at least, more
   concerned, not with how to win in nshort term, but how to milk the most funding from what weapons industry.

     Russia having the short supply lines, as well as the determination, a war of attrition is not in Ukraine's interest. ...This could be Ukraine's last
    gasp.

    Hannibal was hoping for a short war, as he crossed the Alps in 218 BC, but Gen Fabian did a job on him.

   Most conflicts as such, require a quick finish. In 1941, Imperial Japan knew they had to get the US to toss in the towel early...before we got our
   industrial might really ticking..

   In 1763, Chief Pontiac knew he had to get a treaty enacted early..or he was in deep stuff....which he soon was..
   
    In 1861, The Confederacy knew, or should have known, that when they fired upon Ft Sumpter, that they would have to get an early cease fire..,...

  So it was with the Ukraine, if they were to repel the Russians, it would have to be early.  Today their allies are either weary or "spent out"
   and the Ukraine's manufacturing an dinfrastructure are now almost non existant.

   Besides, not being allowed to take the pain to the enemy, echoes our failed Vietnam policy, where certain enemy areas were "off limits".
 
    "The best defense..is a good offence" (Jack Dempsey)

  Yes, it was ugly and immoral for Russia to attack Ukraine, but that is an old story..and western politicians seem more interested in filling their
    already bursting pockets.


    A flood of refugees coing Poland and Romania soon.
