Gary, (audience),
I am a devoted follower of yours, a former resident, business owner, and legal activist in Ukraine, who loves that country and the people as and often more than my own.

The USA and the UK are naval and air powers, and as such, very, very, very good at logistical warfare. If USA intel says it’s time to use a given weapon it’s because their strategy of exhausting RU in every dimension is working. UA command does know this. And this is why UA command preserves every soldier and citizen they can. Because winning the war by exhaustion means an end to this conflict that is more likely to be permanent and the consequences for RU more systemic.

Now that the RU command is afraid, and responding with attempts at concentration of forces, and now that severing what remains of RU logistics is possible, it means Crimea is far closer to the possibility of being retaken. At which time the regime is lost.

It is very hard to watch people suffer and die. But generals must often choose how to tolerate the least harm in the short term because they cannot eliminate a far larger harm in the long term. We have not seen better generals than we have seen in UA in a very long time.

I haven’t seen UA make a single mistake. And while I would like to complain about certain EU countries for their self congratulatory magical thinking that the age of imperial conflict is over, and that the EU, by virtue signaling alone, had somehow risen above war, I can’t see much fault in the US/UK strategy and response or dedication to the UA people, government,and leadership.

It’s time for ATACMS. If used now, before winter, it should help not only counter the RU attempt to resist UA gains, but help UA reach the coastline so that those same weapons can reach both the strait and Sevastopol.

The RU govt is still counting on winning an enduring conflict, because of european stresses and american internal conflict becaue of the plight of the ‘center’ and the success of the Race Marxists in undermining the civilization from within. However, this is another mistake. There is zero chance that americans will do anything other than support UA through to the end.

Americans do not grasp that the world wars were an attempt to end the age of agrarian empires and usher in the age of federations of industrial and technological nation states. Unfortunately, americans withdraw from war at the earliest opportunity (a European way of war for historical reasons) when instead both MacArthur and Patton were correct. And so we are paying a higher cost of not completing the end of the age of empires than we would have if we had completing bringing about its end.

And nothing has done more for the world in history than the anglo american postwar peace, free trade, human rights, and the suppression of wars of expansion and aggression. Or what we call the Bretton Woods Agreement.

Cheers all.
