<i>“[Private] Bohdan Lysenko, of Ukraine’s 47th Brigade: ‘We don’t have a chance playing [a] war of exhaustion with Russia. We need a fundamental change in our army’.”
Lysenko’s unit is defending the town of Avdiivka, in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, with only 20 men. The company began the summer with 120 men, many of whom are now dead, wounded or have been transferred away from the front line.”</i>
Many of the headlines generated from western media, hyping Ukrainian progress is sheer propaganda, and is very different than what is going on the ground. What were once eager volunteers have now turned into exhausted older fighters, mixed in with women, forced to be on the front lines. It is said the US government wants to keep this war going until next year’s election, while Zelenskyy has cancelled Ukraine’s March 2024 elections so he remains in power. In the meantime our own debt is predicted to grow another trillion, from this September, by the end of the year. Putin, OTOH, is showing no signs of leaving Ukraine or giving up areas that have methodically been conquered. And, then there are the armchair warriors on this blog, who don”t read links others post, and who probably have had no military experience themselves, who pound their fists to give more money to a failing war so more Ukrainian commoners can be coerced to die on the front lines.

Wow, Janzam admits that the Russians have “conquered” Ukrainian territory. Before, her position was that Putin was just freeing Russian territory from the Nazis.
But she is right, Putin shows no sign of leaving therefore we should help the Ukrainians kick him out.
In any case, Janzam still has not answered Bitter’s fundamental question. How much sovereign Ukrainian territory is she willing to surrender and how many millions of Ukrainians does she accept being enslaved by Russia.

Zzzzzz…. I can come up with hundreds of posts of Russian soldiers much worse than that. Janzam only reads official Russian propaganda. Here is a taste of the real world for her enjoyment.
“In audio intercepts from the front lines in Ukraine, Russian soldiers speak in shorthand of 200s to mean dead, 300s to mean wounded. The urge to flee has become common enough that they also talk of 500s — people who refuse to fight.
As the war grinds into its second winter, a growing number of Russian soldiers want out, as suggested in secret recordings obtained by The Associated Press of Russian soldiers calling home from the battlefields of the Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk regions in Ukraine.
The calls offer a rare glimpse of the war as it looked through Russian eyes — a point of view that seldom makes its way into Western media, largely because Russia has made it a crime to speak honestly about the conflict in Ukraine. They also show clearly how the war has progressed, from the professional soldiers who initially powered Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion to men from all walks of life compelled to serve in grueling conditions.”

Slowly, of course, but it is significant progress. So I get excited again when I see what the Ukrainians have done. They are constantly innovating, adapting, and learning. I recently wrote an article in response to these pessimistic reports [about the pace of Ukrainian progress] and said, ‘Stop criticizing and do everything you can to help the Ukrainians succeed.”

Nobody wants to fight. But there is a difference in motivation when you are defending a homeland and a cause you believe in. Morale is an important factor in combat. Of course there are other factors that contribute to morale, such as equipment, rations, confidence in your superiors, etc. But I doubt most Russians soldiers believe in the cause once they get to the battlefield and see that the Ukrainians don’t want to be part of Russia. They will quickly see that the propaganda they are fed in Russia that the Ukrainians are just waiting to be liberated from Nazism by the heroic Russians is BS. And once they see their superiors regard them as expendable then morale will deteriorate and so will the will to fight. Janzam’s theory that the Russians have unlimited human resources they can commit to battle is only valid to a certain point. These “unlimited resources” still have to be trained, equipped, transported and supplied. Having unlimited resources in Russia is not the same as having unlimited resources on the front lines. Ukraine has not advanced as much as they wanted in the counteroffensive for the same reason the Russians failed to advance, they are moving against fortified positions. Still, the gains are impressive, especially the bridgeheads across the Dnipro.

I am taking the Jason/Bitter echo chamber less seriously as time goes on. Their posts have little substance except to toss ludicrous accusations at posters disagreeing with their insatiable eagerness to finance Ukraine, despite the stalemate, the spring offensive failure, bureaucratic corruption and lack of trained young fighters reported by on-the-ground sources, including Ukrainian generals and Zelenskyy aides.
As for dragging up Petraeus as a stellar source of appraising this war, his credentials and reputation dimmed after he gave binders of classified info to a writer he was having an affair with in 2012. After that episode he seemed to lose his own military perspective, and instead tried to regain respectability by going with the establishment mindset. This, IMO, is the genesis of that excerpt which totally parroted the government and MSM narrative being distributed for naive public consumption.

“Numerous analysts believe that the administration’s supplemental, in addition to its record-breaking defense funding, would effectively serve as a massive transfer of wealth from American taxpayers to the defense sector.
Stephen Semler, co-founder of the Security Policy Reform Institute think tank, said that defense contractors stand to reap billions from the administration’s requested supplemental, which would go “mostly to just a few companies.”
“Based on my estimate, the proposal would produce $60 billion in revenue for private-sector military contractors,” Mr. Semler said in an email.
Whether those billions of dollars will adequately serve the national interest is an open question. To that end, Mr. Semler says that the Biden administration is now “selling” the spending package as an economic boon because most people won’t believe it would improve national security interests abroad.
“If people don’t buy the foreign policy argument for spending $106 billion, the thinking goes, maybe they’ll support it if it’s framed as domestic policy,” Mr. Semler said.”

I will believe Janzam is “concerned” about democracy in Ukraine when she calls for free elections in Russia, end of media control and the right of opposition candidates to campaign and run, none of which is allowed.
Ukraine is understandably under martial law and about 25% of its territory is under occupation, another 50% under serious risk of bombardment, so holding elections at the moment is impossible, Janzam knows that.
However, there should be no problem in having free and fair elections in Russia.
