No one knows what’s going on with the war in Ukraine. If you read the western sources - Ukraine has won the war and is just cleaning up. If you check Russian or other non-western sources - the war is practically over, Russia won, end of story. You read in an American magazine about the super sophisticated artillery being sent to Ukraine - and how effective it is going to be. Then, you listen to someone like Scott Ritter - and he’ll tell you that handing those artillery pieces to Ukrainian soldiers is criminal, that it takes months of training to become proficient in their use - and that those guys will not be able to do it - and will die. Which one is it? Who knows. So much psychological warfare and propaganda… that all “facts” must be questioned. The element of surprise, as it turned out, worked against the Russians. Before the invasion they had an understanding with many mayors and military commanders that there would be no resistance. It was going to be a “mostly friendly” operation. Apparently, the Ukrainian security outsmarted them - and they were ambushed. It was literally the way Mike Tyson puts it - Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
