re: The Ukrainian Counter Offensive

I've followed the deterioating situation in Ukraine and the region for a long time. Long before this Proxy War with Russia. This is a needless war - it needn't have happened. Had the west honored past agreements to prevent former Eastern Bloc countries (i.e.Poland) and others (Finland - Switzerland) from joining NATO and setting up house along Russia's western border we wouldn't be watching Ukraine getting their a** handed to them by the Ruskies.
So our pal Joe Biden goes to the NATO summit. Following that Plugs calls up Selected Reservist (SR) and Individual Ready Reservist (IRR-3000) to make a big show. Hell I remember reading an assessment of our military readiness that was troubling. Obama had so depleted our Armed Forces (especially our ground forces) we couldn't even field two 'battle ready' divisions of soldiers. A division being 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers. Those numbers improved under Donald Trump, but Joe Biden's Woke Agenda just destroyed recruiting. Apparently it hasn't gotten better. Not good.
To his credit Vlad Putin was perfectly willing to allow Ukraine to serve as a buffer zone between NATO and Russia but NOOOOOO the warmongering bunch in Military-Industrial Complex - Pentagon want Russia. All of Russia including their resources.....all of it.
Then the imbecile says on a Fox Interview we're running out of ammo. Geez!
But let me be clear, IMO the blame for this meat grinding war lies squarely at the feet of one Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr, his warmongering pals in the Pentagon, and their pals in NATO. It's just so sad so many Ukraine men, women, children, babies, and elderly had to die.
War is hell.

The NY Times had a piece this morning on the failure of the counter offensive. According to the article the Ukrainians lost “up to” 20% of their armor in the first few days.
To save their armored vehicles, they’ve shifted to unsupported or minimally supported infantry assaults.
