    Berletic: Ukraine's Offensive Remains Stalled - Western Media Begins Admitting Failures Archived Message

    Posted by sashimi on August 9, 2023, 1:38 pm

    Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 9, 2023:
    * Western analysts and media sources are beginning to admit the poor progress,
    heavy losses, and fundamental flaws of the Ukrainian offensive and beyond
    that, the unsustainable nature of the proxy war in the first place;

    * Ukraine is shifting away from attempts to storm Russian lines and attempting
    instead to conduct attritional warfare, however, it lacks the material
    resources to do so which necessitated "storming" tactics in the first place;

    * As Ukraine's offensive falters on the battlefield, Kiev and its Western
    sponsors have been focusing on aerial and naval drone strikes to create the
    illusion Ukraine maintains the initiative;

    * Quantities of artillery, armor, and trained manpower determine the duration of
    Ukraine's offensive. The disposition of both Ukrainian and Russian forces
    including the reserves of both sides will determine if a breakthrough will
    occur;

    * Russian military industrial capacity and the material resources it produces
    for the ongoing military operation ensures that no matter where Ukraine's
    offensive ends on the battlefield, it will leave Ukrainian forces exhausted,
    depleted, and unable to sustain their fighting capacity;

    * Industrial capability between the collective West and both Russia and China is
    and will remain into the foreseeable future leaning in favor of Russia and
    China;

    * The West gambled and lost on "small wars" as it enters an end game for
    geopolitical unipolarity against Russia and China and the reality that modern
    warfare against peer and near-peer competitors requires industrial capacity
    the West doesn't have and cannot obtain;
