Congratulations, Russia. You are celebrating today the victory of the Gulag over the KZ and the triumph of Stalinist genocide over Nazi genocide. Long live Russian mass murder and fascism!

https://edition.cnn.com/videos/tv/20...es-ukraine.cnn General Hodges has a perception voyage behind him. No more super-optimism by him. Good. He killed my last nerve when he was making it appear as if liberating of Crimea was just a question of time inside 2023. The failure of Western politics seem to have sunk into him. In other words, when i listen to him these days, he sounds far more realistic to me now.

I think the Why is clear, all they lack is the determination to do what is needed to get there. And that is not just Biden's fault, but also the Trumpists' guilt since they delayed it endlessly not for the reason of seeing no plan, but to deny the government any movement forward at all - no matter at what direction. Total boycott and bringing all and everythign to a standstill if possible was the motto: to benefit from this during the election campaign.
The lack of clear vision and determination continues through most of Europe. The art of walking upright has been unlearned.

Said it before I'm sceptic to the situation, however I have hopes.
Not to retake the entire occupied areas no. Ukraine does not have the manpower or material to fulfil such a massive task. Or would they inflict such a damage on the Russians that they see no other way than retreat ? Russia is they starting to change the way they fight..E.g. Read somewhere that reserves from (now I forgot the name of this Russian city) was send to military complex where they would undergo basic training. If true then it is a change from before where a reservist was called in and send directly to the front. Markus

In World War II there were strategies and goals. We advanced a strategy that as soon as possible “we must come to grips with the enemy ground forces.” The Brits wanted to avoid direct confrontation whereas the U.S. strategy was akin to the Germans of going after the enemy hammer and tong. In the Pacific “as long as it takes” wasn’t imo the strategy either. Rather it seemed more like “end it as soon as possible” when we nuked the hell out of Japan. The common strategy above lay waste to the enemy accepting nothing less than unconditional surrender. Presently Ukraine doesn’t seem to be able to do that and I’m not sure we can just keep throwing money at the problem forever either. I’ve also thought that maybe our interest might be to weaken Russian influence, economy and military to the point they are forced to leave. Which I can get behind but it would nice to hear from the CinC what the hell the goals are. I know Biden also changed his tune from “as long as ot takes” to “as long as we can” either one to me isn’t very reassuring.
