Sure. Whatever.
Scott Ritter: Well first let's understand that the battle for Bahkmut has been going on for many, many months now. Bahkmut is the "Gordian knot" of the Ukrainian defensive belt that exists in Donestk. A defensive belt that has been constructed on a continuous basis since 2014. It is one of the most extensive, fortified defense systems in modern history. It is manned with troops. It has the support of heavy equipment, artillery, etc. And the Russians have been in the business of grinding it down for many weeks and what we see right now is basically we are seeing the culmination of all of the Russian effort.
I always laugh when people say, "How could Ukraine be outgunned." I don't know maybe because they only have x number of artillery pieces and the Russians have x times 10. I know that when I have more artillery pieces than you I am going to win that fight generally speaking especially in positional warfare where you have made is pretty easy for me by sitting in your positions that I can identify using my intelligence resources and pound you into submission.
You know there are two aspects to this fight. One is that the Russians are more than happy to let the Ukrainians sit in place and suffer casualties. Often times the Ukrainian battalion will rotate into the front lines and days later will rotate out suffering 60% casualties without ever having seen a Russian. They'll just show up and they die. Then they leave and another battalion comes in . And that's the thing. The Ukrainians are rotating battalions in. Every once in a while The Ukrainians will fail to rotate in on time; leave some chink in their armor and if that time is right the Russians will carry out an assault on that position. This is extraordinarily bloody combat, close quarters combat of the most intimate nature. They will face-to-face in trench; hand grenades, knives, bayonets, rifle stocks, bullets at close range and the Russians tend to prevail, seize the position and then they wait and start the process of grinding down the next position.
The goal of the Russians, of course, is to kill as many Ukrainians as possible and fortunately for Russia Ukraine is giving them plenty of opportunities to do just this by their tactics. One has to wonder at what point in time Ukrainians will recognize that the price of holding on to Bahkmut is too high. That Ukraine would be better off preserving these forces; some of who are well trained and using them as a mobile defense capable at least of lowering the casualty ratio. Right now Russia is enjoying an 8 to 1; 10 to 1 ratio primarily because it can exploit its artillery advantage. Even when Ukraine has modern Western artillery such as the M777 from the United States...the HIMARS, other artillery systems from other NATO countries they don't exist in sufficient quantities to level the battle field."
Just going on what I see on FR. And I have no investment whatever in the issue.
I am not aware of Russian military attacking United States.
Russia has not stolen a single job from USA.
While China has stolen millions of AMerican middle class jobs. And China military is growing faster than any others. But idiot Ameircan leaders are wasting $100 Billion in Ukraine? Seems just as stupid as Vietnam war, Iraq war, Afghan war, and all other foreign wars.
If you were reading FR then you would know how silly and dishonest and embarrassing for you, your post was, it reveals a deep emotional investment on your part.
Are you aware of Putin confronting NATO, demanding NATO withdraw from eastern Europe including Poland?
Russia demands NATO roll back from East Europe and stay out of Ukraine December 17, 2021
Others would imply the removal of U.S. nuclear weapons from Europe and the withdrawal of multinational NATO battalions from Poland and from the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania that were once in the Soviet Union.

I don’t have to prove a damn thing. She is a greedy little tramp just like her grunting coke head husband.
I never knew Poland was one of the 50 states.
But I am well aware that in 2023 US Treasury will pay out in excess of $1,000,000,000,000 in Interest on national debt. Part of that is my tax money and I do not like $100 Billion added to national debt to protect Ukraines’s borders.
Case closed. You got nothing.

Then you got nothing too.
😂😂
After President Trump reactivated the American V Corps, he moved our European headquarters to Poland, closer to the threat than it had been in Germany.
Insane policy to add to national debt (already bigger than 160% GDP) to carry on foreign wars. Stupid American leaders have not learned from experiences in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
Now the same idiot leaders want to spend 100’s of Biillion dollars to protect borders of most corrupt country in Europe? Pure idiocy.
Trump wasn’t “insane” nor “stupid”, he did the right thing.
Trump is the ONLY POTUS in recent years who did not start a new war, and saw to end existing wars. It is the main reason I admire Trump. But he was no fiscal conservative. Just like Reagan, national debt grew siginificantly during both these presidents.
We have the statements of witnesses. Case closed. By the way - you aren’t a judge, no authority to decide what’s true or not. There’s not even an open case! Unbiased witnesses have made statements, prove otherwise.
But you’re evading the much bigger point. Where did Zelenski get hundreds of millions of dollars? How did he pay for his multimillion dollar Florida mansion? Prove legal income or admit he’s a crime lord. Case closed.
