    American experts apparently thought that the Russians would do the same, how do the US military - for example, carry out carpet bombing. But Russians don't shoot at civilians. The Russians are trying to avoid casualties among civilian Ukrainians.
    However, I think that the real American military experts, but not the clowns with Fox News or CNN, all counted correctly.

    I write about the same. She is not credible in assessing military operations. But the CIA officer is trustworthy.

    You always write about nothing when you have no arguments?

    We don't do "carpet bombing."

    This clown you've linked to is not trustworthy. He is laughably biased and wrong, and he has a history of spreading lies:

    Yeah and that kind of logic also fuels domestic issues at home. No wonder why Russia has such high rates of domestic abuse.

    The Soviets have proven themselves a paper tiger - and even if they are able to defeat the Ukrainian army, they will never quell the resistance that will follow.
    Especially when the insurgents are funded and supplied by the west.

    Well done, comrades.

    His post has the advantage of being accurate and descriptive.

    He does not speak for the CIA or for any agency or person other than himself. And he does have a reputation for starting unfounded rumors.

    Many people are. In military and intelligence circles he's generally considered a self-promoting fool and a blowhard.

    Can you refute his words? Did you serve in the army, did you participate in combat operations, maybe you served in intelligence?

    Is that what you say....Doesn't domestic violence exist in the US?...Especially in Chicago, where the mayor suggested bringing in troops to fight crime. ....Because all the violence went to American schools and universities?

    All American media have a reputation for running unfounded rumors. And American politicians have the same reputation.

    I reject his claims as unfounded and silly, and him personally as a demonstrably untrustworthy source.

    So, Larry C Johnson wrote an aritcle that gave an impression about the Russian military in Ukraine that fits your political ideology stating all that is needed is "mop up." If that was the case, then all objectives should have been achieved, organized military resistance have ceased, and prosioners of war have been captured, identified, and held, shouldn't they? Like controlling Kviv, or Mariupol or installed a new government friendly to Putin, or anything else which none of those military objectives have been achieved. The closest they have come is they are on the outskirts of Kviv, have destroyed numerous civilian targets including hospitals, malls, residential buildings, etc. Civilian causaulties include a total of 953 persons which 78 were children. Not exactly "avoiding civilian casaulties" in my opinion or any person who can reasonably and objectively assess the situation in Ukraine.

    Realistically, having a 40 mile military convoy stuck on the road is a logistical nightmare that should not have happened in the first place. For that to happen, a complete mother of all foul ups occured which left gas hungry beasts like tanks and IFVs stalled on the road and vulnerable to hit and run tactics. The south is much better, but in all likelihood, the Ukrainian military has done a fantastic job of keeping Russia at bay, much like the RAF kept the Luftwaffe at bay in the Battle of Britian despite being outnumbered nearly 3 to 1 in every category.
