The Russians COULD NOT take Kiev. The Russian Army wasn't good enough to do this, and never will be. Ukraine is no where near their breaking point. De-Nazification?? Really??

Russia could easily take Kiev if they wanted. Don't be ridiculous. Yes, Ukraine looks to be at or near their breaking point. Desertions grow. Losses are mounting. Morale is very low. You are starting to see Ukrainian protests at conscription offices.

I had not watched Tucker in awhile. But once again he is right.

Tucker, as usual, nails it. I don't think most of these Congressmen have any clue as to why they are supporting Ukraine (and when you hear them try to articulate their reasoning it usually goes horribly wrong) other than Party leadership tells them to and it is the safe position (or so they think). Ultimately, I think Crenshaw is the most honest when he says we are supporting the weakening of our military adversary without losing a solider. Problem is Dan, why are we viewing Russia as a military adversary and what does that say about Ukraine who we are basically sacrificing for OUR purpose. Of course, as usual, what we set out to do and what actually happens is usually directly opposite. We haven't weakened Russia but instead destabilized the World order, made the World less safe and more costly, while at the same costing MORE Ukrainian lives and more lives around the World due to a food crisis. This is the very reason our Founders warned of entangling alliances. The US always thinks they know best how to balance the spinning plates and each time it ends in disaster.

One of the biggest war criminals in the 21st Century meeting with Putin.

Putin was one of the first world leaders to offer our Govt assistance on 9/11. He didn't turn his back on the West, the West turned their back on him. Seeing where the West has gone (death cult) over the last 20 years, I think Putin is happy with how it turned out and Russia will be better off for it.

I think they wasted men on a failed strategy that relied on some really bad assumptions. However, had those assumptions been right it would have also saved many men (on both sides). They were never positioning themselves to take Kiev. They didn't have the necessary man power nor were they militarily attacking the City in a way that would leave one to believe their goal was to take the City.

Confession through projection has been very useful. The claims Olga makes are what UKRAINE has been doing, not Russia.

Russia has lost another ship in the Black Sea, - intelligence sources

UA claims another Russian ship heavily damaged on the way to Snake Island. Putin's newest 9,500-ton Project 23120 logistics ship caught fire "for unknown reasons" in the night of May 12, may have made it back to Sevastopol.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation ordered a series of three Project 23120 Elbrus class ice-capable logistics support vessels to support multiple mission needs of the Russian Navy.

The ships are designed by JSC Spetssudoproekt Design Bureau of St Petersburg and are being built by Russian shipbuilding company Severnaya Verf Shipyard in compliance with the ARC4 ice-class. The Elbrus class is classified by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.

They can be used for storage and transportation of dry cargo, fresh water and ammunition to remote coastlines and other ships in open sea and harbour. They are also suitable for other missions, including search-and-rescue, providing medical support for the crew of vessels in distress, to search for debris or objects at sea, towing, and disaster relief.

Why the Donbas encirclement will fail

The Russian army has attempted to encircle the Ukrainian forces in Donbas. But there are five military reasons why they won't manage to do that.

Conclusion

Ultimately, all of the evidence here points to the encirclement of Donbas failing unless Russia were to utilize weapons of mass destruction or institute a general mobilization of its forces. As it stands, with its current forces, Russia will fail to encircle Donbas.

In World War Two there was an attempt at encirclement in this very same region as the German Wehrmacht attempted to surround the Red Army. It failed for the exact same reason that the Russian army will fail today: not enough soldiers, not enough equipment, and not enough understanding of the challenging terrain in Donbas.

Congrats to Putie Pie for making this come to fruition. Trump-level master strategist.
