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.

I'm beginning to think opinion may be turning on the war, just a bit.

The counteroffensive has clearly been a disappointment to the US brain trust that is pushing this war.

I have to think the cluster munition decision and the reserve activation are not good signs for Ukraine.

Yep, this unfolding debacle would classify as a disaster in the making. Zelensky shows up at the NATO summit and has a meltdown in front of Biden and NATO cause they refused to admit Ukraine into NATO. It went downhill from there.

File this under "Joe Biden - Bumbling Buffoonery".

There's your boy, democrats. The leader of the free world.
