Tweedledee and Tweedle-dumber Dissemble on Ukraine

What a juxtaposition of absurdity versus truth. On the very same day that the Kyiv Independent releases a dreadful report detailing the disastrous losses of Ukrainian soldiers in Bakhmut, Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley complete for the “Who is the most dumb” award. I believe it is a tie. Judge for yourselves.

Let us begin with the short article from the Ukraine publication, the Kyiv Independent. We will utilize this as the standard to assess what Austin and Milley stated at their interview on Wednesday.

Battle of Bakhmut: Ukrainian soldiers stress Russians start to ‘taste triumph’

Just days prior to heading back to eliminate in the Battle of Bakhmut, a Ukrainian soldier Volodymyr, 54, stated he felt ill-prepared.

” When they drive us to Bakhmut, I currently understand I’m being sent out to death,” Volodymyr informed the Kyiv Independent throughout his quick remain in Kramatorsk, a city in Donetsk Oblast some 25 kilometers west of the cutting edge.

Volodymyr, an infantryman from the 93 rd Mechanized Brigade, stated he had a hard time to consume after combating in Bakhmut for months. He looked shaken as he talked.

For 2 months, Volodymyr’s system was entrusted with securing Bakhmut versus little Russian attack groups sneaking into the city. The brigade was continuously under mortar fire as soldiers were outdoors where shrapnels might wound or eliminate them anytime.

“( The Russians) keep shooting at us, however we do not have weapons– so we have absolutely nothing to assault them back with,” Volodymyr stated. “I do not understand if I will return or not. We are simply getting eliminated.”

Ukrainian infantrymen spoken with by the Kyiv Independent explained the combating in Bakhmut as a desperate survival difficulty versus Russia’s “limitless” stocks of weapons munitions and workforce. With simply their gatling gun and rifles, they state they braced ruthless Russian mortar and weapons attacks up until their hideout was ultimately ruined. …

While Russian casualties on the Bakhmut front are presumed to be really high, Ukraine is likewise taking heavy losses as it hangs on to the city, soldiers’ statements expose. NATO intelligence approximates that a minimum of 5 Russian soldiers were eliminated for every single Ukrainian loss, CNN reported on March 6, pointing out an unnamed authorities with the alliance.

Valeriy, a Ukrainian infantryman, states that the majority of his fallen associates were fatally injured by projectile pieces.

” It’s a pity that most likely 90% of our losses are from weapons– or tanks and air travel,” Valeriy informed the Kyiv Independent a couple of hours after leaving the Bakhmut front. “And much less (casualties) from shooting fights.”

Valeriy counted that “just a couple of” of the initial 27 members of his squad left the Bakhmut front with him, though he described that the majority of them were injured, not eliminated.

” The Russians have many weapons, and there are numerous of them,” Valeriy stated. “They are shooting at all of us the time. In some cases, you hear an inbound (shell) every second.”

Russian forces have actually magnified their attack on Bakhmut because mid-January after catching the neighboring salt-mining town of Soledar, which sits some 15 kilometers northeast of Bakhmut.

The author of this piece attempts frantically to put lipstick on the pig of Ukrainian losses by duplicating the phony CNN claim that Russia is losing soldiers at a 5 to one provision compared to Ukraine. The Ukrainian soldiers inform the genuine story. Russia is shelling them with an apparently endless supply of weapons shells and the Ukrainians have no shells to fire in return.

I duplicate what I have actually composed in the past– the side that fires one of the most weapons shells causes the most casualties. Simply wanting that Russians are passing away in droves does not make it so. The image painted by the Kyiv Independent is grim and dreadful. Keep that in mind as you listen to the Austin/Milley clown program. (I am offering essential parts of the records listed below.)

Lloyd Austin: This contact group has actually pressed tough to guarantee that Ukraine can protect itself from Putin’s Imperial hostility. Brave Ukrainians persevered throughout Russia’s ground intrusion with the aid of their brand-new anti-tank and anti-aircraft rockets which call group nations have actually supplied and Russia intends to grind down Ukraine in a war of attrition.

But Ukraine has actually been provided by more than 40 nations. Russia has actually had to depend on Iran and North Korea and has actually had to utilize devices dating back to World War II. Russia is running out of ability and running out of Friends. Putin has actually now had a Year’s worth of evidence that the United States and the contact group will support Ukraine’s right to safeguard itself for the Long Haul

Austin is delusional and a phony. He stops working to keep in mind that those 40 nations can no longer provide Ukraine with 155 mm weapons shells. That consists of the United States. He duplicates the canard that Russia is lacking ammo, weapons and rockets and is required to utilize 80 years of age devices. Has nobody informed him on the Kinzhal active sonic rocket that continues to ruin Ukraine? Austin advises me of Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz (” There is no location like house, there is no location like house). Someone purchase that male some Ruby slippers.

Austin obviously thinks that if he keeps duplicating the mantra that “Russia is lacking ability and lacking Friends”, it will end up being real. The truths reveal otherwise. The brand-new alliance in between Russia and China indicates that Moscow has an effective brand-new buddy. It likewise has actually enhanced relations with India and Saudi Arabia. Russia is hectic producing a brand-new multi-polar alliance that falls outside the U.S. sphere of impact. Austin betrays his lack of knowledge and shallowness by such ridiculous claims.

Austin was not the only buffoon at the podium. General Milley showed his ability as an unrepentant sychophant:

General Milley: Russia introduced, and has actually continued for over a year now, a war of hostility and ostentatious infraction of global law. This is and stays a Russian frontal attack on the rules-based worldwide order that has actually remained in location for 80 years 8 years considering that completion of World War II. In the face of this act of aggressiveness in a war of Conquest, this group stays unified. NATO is United, individuals of Ukraine are unyielding. They are standing unfaltering in the face for the Russian assault.

Russia stays separated their military stocks are quickly diminishing. The soldiers are demoralized, inexperienced, uninspired conscripts and convicts, and their management is failing them having actually currently stopped working in their tactical goals. Russia is significantly depending on other nations, such as Iran and North Korea. As the secretary mentioned they’re utilizing Iranian drones to continue to scare Ukrainian civilians. This relationship is developed on the harsh bonds of oppressing Freedom overturning Liberty and preserving their tyranny yet complimentary individuals will not go back to the shackles of tyranny.

Milley likewise is doing not have in self-awareness and paradox. He firmly insists that due to the fact that Russia is apparently counting on Iran and North Korea for weapons that this is indication of weak point and failure. Hey there? And Ukraine getting help from 40 nations suggests strength?

I will close with another renowned minute from the Wizard of Oz. General Milley advises me of the Scarecrow with a weight issue:
