Petraeus on status of Ukraine war

Just when large Russian groups of new conscripts move into battle positions to relieve, Ukraine should mount a concentrated attack (rocket/armor and light infantry) in those directions.You get retreating veteran fighters passing new conscripts coming up, you will scare the hell out of all of them but the new fighters will have a lasting impression..

I really enjoy these briefings from General Patraeus. Powerful, concise and insightful.

Here in the UK were training UA Troops. They hardly take breaks, full on comittment to learn and get in the fight, No winning against these guy,s.

finally an honest headline on the general's comments, instead of stuff like 'the russians are done in the next 3 days!!' kinda nonsense

WWIII, The Pentagon has already admitted that members of the Army are already operating on the ground in Ukraine - albeit in an apparently limited capacity - In addition to the 31 tanks from America, Canada, Germany, Poland, Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom all are sending tanks with troops operator and support teams into the war zone. In order to achieve that, the pentagon explained, a “trained individual at each of the positions within a tank” is needed, in addition to “a trained crew that knows how to fight well together.” “And then you have to have a trained platoon, platoons in a company; and a company in the battalion; and if you’re talking about the inner-level operations, battalions within brigades etc,” the pentagon said.🤷

The fact that a man such as Petraeus exists ( and I am not attacking him as a person
Only the respect shown for his
Expertise in the Hell that is War)
Shows that Humanity as a whole has not really advanced very much at all. Technological progress, and educated eloquence about the Art of Human beings murdering each other in the name of Borders, Freedom, Sovereignty hardly constitute steps forward for the Human race. In fact, the logical conclusion to the ongoing insanity and madness of War and it's total acceptance as a means of conflict resolution can only be one thing.

Such a vise man, realistic prediction

Petraeus: "Russia really haven't done a lot"...Ukraine cities are being decimated.

There are days when I wish Petraeus were in complete charge of US policy towards Russia and Ukraine.

Probably the last person in the world I believe at this time 🤣

This man is a retired 4 star general. Douglas Macgregor is only a retired colonel. But it seems that Colonel Macgregor is better at analyzing things in this Russai-Ukraine war. Very strange. One would think the retired 4 star general would be much smarter, capable, etc.

Please 🙏 Can you tell me if there is such a service that helps Ukrainian people who do not want to join into army and go to war?
I'm a civilized person and I don't want to fight in a war, but now in Ukraine there is a forced mobilization of all men (mostly the poor) and sending them to war against their will.
Now here is a catch of men on the streets to be sent them to war and all borders are closed.
Please help me, give me any contacts that can help with this case if there are such organizations

In 60 AD Apostle Saint Andrew traveled to the area of Kiev, preached, and said, one day a great city would be built here with many churches to the glory of God. Today there is a church to Saint Andrew in Kiev. The peoples in the area were Slavic. Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv, three brothers and the sister Lybid founded Kiev in 482 AD, Kiev was named after the older brother Kyi. Kiev the older brother was King. Herodotus wrote that Hercules had founded this land.
The Rus were Viking tribes that settled peacefully in Kiev as far back as 750 AD with the Slavs there, 400 years before Moskva existed. The name Russia, coming from the city Moskva, has no connection to the RUS. Russia coming from Moskva started with Batu Kahn much later as a vasal under Mongolian rule. All the early Czars were Mongolian and of no connection to the RUS. The Rus were with the Slavs to the south in Kiev. Moskva were Finnish Urgic Tribes; Mosk means cow and Va water, which are Finnish names. There was no RUS there. The ethnic background of Moskva is Finnish-Urgic and Mongolian. The Rus developed the religion, city Kiev, alphabet, churches, and had its saints. The founder of Kievian Rus (800) or the Rus was a Viking named Askold or Oskold (Norse) from Sweden; not Oleg as in the Russian story. Kievian Rus exists long Before Novgorod and Oleg’s arrival there. Askold is the Slavic name. Oskold, the first King of Kievian Rus was in Kiev before Oleg in Novgorod. Oskold had 200 ships and 20,000 warriors. Oskold was baptized in Constantinople (128 years before Volodymyr) and sent the first bishop back to Kiev. Oskold and Dir were the first Dynasty of Kievian Rus. Askold rules from the 40-60s and Dir to the 80s. Askold is buried in Kiev and the first Kievian Christian King & Dynasty. Oleg followed coming from Sweden through Novgorod and was a pagan. Russia as named today started in the city of Moskva over 400 years later after Kievian Rus or Rus. From Kiev, the capitol of Rus, Kievian culture was spread, much like the Greeks Hellenized the known world, or like the British anglicized the world by the English language. This process does not make Moskva to become RUS in as much as Persian are not Greek. How we are misled by a name; Russia. The capitol of the RUS has always been Kiev. There is no other RUS and no RUS in Moskva. Many say Ukraine began recently; but the culture of the RUS is Kievian RUS, both culture and ethnic background. Ukraine is a name given by Poland meaning outer lands. The land of the RUS before the Mongolian invasion was very large. The name RUS is a Norse name which means men that row; there are no men that row in Moskva. So Moskva adopted the name Russia while being a Mongolian vassal, essentially traitor to the RUS; and all the Czars were Mongolian-Finnish. The Culture of the Mongolian was centralized power, and that cultural imprint was passed on to present day Russia. Ukraine’s real name should be Kievian RUS, or Kievskarus! Russia began in Moskva by Batu Kahn and Novgorod conquered much later, still no connection to the Rus.
Putin & Lavrov should be ashamed of themselves, the USSR was an occupation; it never had the status of a sovereign state and due process of law that would be associated with a free society. Even today the mentality of the gulag exists. There is no freedom of press and speech, people are arrested for speech, there is no due process of law, and the religion is state run making it a totalitarian theocracy. As such, it did not deserve to exist in a free world; and history has shown such totalitarian organizations fail over time and author in many gulags. The true culture of Russia is Finno-Ugric and Mongolian, having nothing to do with the RUS (Kievian), expect borrowed as in the sense of Hellenized or Anglicized "forms" as a comparative reference. The centralized form of Russian politics is a very Mongolian imprint on culture. The actions of Putin seem to be another Mongolian invasion of Kiev; here I suggest as to the correct metaphor. I believe so. Putin & Lavrov insistence to have purview over eastern Europe also seems like paying tribute to the Mongolian Horde. Moskva started as an agglomeration of Finnish tribes, combining a Finnish name meaning cows water and developed by Mongolian culture. Mosk means cow and Va means water. The RUS are men that row, Vikings, Norse, established Kiev 400 years before (750 AD) Moskva even thought to exist. The name Russia for current nation is totally inappropriate. The current Russia started in Moskva; how misleading is the name Russia coming from Moskva that has no connection to the RUS. All the lands should be returned to Kiev; the West of Russia to Finland, and the East to Mongolia. Russia’s place on the globe appears as a temporary aberration in my view. To use threats of Nukes publicly strikes at the heart as adolescent behaviour; surely any nation or person that issues such threats and being an ally to such while not even having war imposed on them is not fit to rule. This would include allies of Russia. Oh yes, I remember, Russia didn't invent the bomb, they stole it in the 1940's and gave it to Kurchatov. Russia struggles with an identity crisis since its beginnings unoriginal to the ethnic groups. Its errors are numerous, 50 million killed by Stalin in WW2, allied to the Nazis to kill the Poles for their defeat in WW2, Holodomor where millions of Ukrainians were killed and grain stolen, and constant antagonist with Europe. We even have the Holy Mother announcing Russia’s errors at Fatima. Russia is a Mongolian culture and all the first Czars were Mongolian and Batu Kahn is the author.
Oskold was the grandson of Ragnar the king of Sweden, his name is old Norse and spoke old Norse, the name Rus is old Norse, he settled peacefully in Kiev and the Slavs made him king, he brought Christianity to Kiev with his son dir...his burial mound is where St Nicholas church is built, Oleg wasn’t even in Novgorod when this happened, and Oleg is not a Rus nor old Norse name. The Slavs called Oskold the name Askold. After came Dir, Oleg was a pagan who assassinated Dir, Oskold becomes the first dynasty...later when the line of kings get to Vladimir, he is captured at a trading post by the Mongols, the post is called Moskva, and the king killed. Moskva as a city was a Mongolian invention, and Novgorod becomes a part of that Russia by conquest, although having nothing to do with the Rus. Oskold line is Ragnar, ironside, Oskold from the King of Sweden Ragnar. Oleg is via Rurik coming much later. The accounts of Oskold are within the time, Al Mamun an Arab writer of the time wrote of Oskold, the Russian chronicles come hundreds of years later. In much the same way accounts of relevant history are better understood by those of the times, much like the Bible, dating to the original times makes the account authentic. The Russian chronicles are merely a tale and inaccurate.
Kiev was a city over 1000 years before Russia even existed. Kiev was Kievian Rus before Novgorod and when Oleg arrived. Putin is kidding himself if he thinks any part of Ukraine belongs to Russia. We can see that Israel belongs to the Jews, similarly all the lands around Kiev of Kievian Rus belong to Kiev as a single nation and city state. Russia's beginnings are a wanting child begun as a captive insurgency having nothing of its own; a captive state that was reeking in servitude to Mongolia and invented by Mongolia. The entire culture of Russia from Moscow is Mongolian centralized power, a pagan culture of no empathy and Christianity. The Christianity is tainted as a state religion or theocracy and politicized. History is often obscured by being written by the ones in charge. The history of Ukraine has been obscured by the Soviet Occupation and cultural appropriations. Moscow in an attempt to appropriate a history not its own, rewrote the narrative of history to cover up its compromised origins; Kiev and Ukraine is a history much older and more civilized; making contributions to civilization. Russian despotism becomes the blueprint, foundation & model for every despot nation, look at its allies; the error of its ways has spread throughout the globe; much like the message from the Holy Mother at Fatima. Those that are sympathetic to Russian atrocities can find similarities in their own histories. Ukraine has a democracy at a local level Moscow never had and fears. Russian boundless ignorance is a type often found in the poorest of nations, and usually the poorest have a history of the hardest tyrants over them that also inflict poverty, physical and spiritual, on others they attempt to subjugate, a reflection of their own lives, an abomination of desolation.
Askold was in Constantinople in 860 and Oleg arrived in Novgorod not until 862. The Arabs referred to Askold as the Slavic King or King of the Slavs which he had been for a while. Pontius says Askold brings Christianity to Kiev from Constantinople and a bishop. Ragnar the Norse King of Sweden was born in 767 AD, his son Bjorn ironside was born in 796 AD, and grandson Oskold (Askold) was born in 820 AD. Askold arrived in Kiev in 840 and had a son Dir, Both become King and the first Christian dynasty. Askold dies and gets a burial mound in a park in Kiev. Dir follows as King. Dir is assassinated by Oleg who is a pagan. Nobody knows who Rurik is or who the father is . Oleg is a generation away from Askold. Olga of Kiev builds a church on Askold’ s burial grounds. Pontius of Constantinople says Askold brings a Bishop and Christianity to Kiev. Russia much later is a Mongolian invention....Ukraine was called so since kievian rus..Peter the great changed the name of muskovy to Russia in 1871 and forced the peasants who spoke ugric to speak old Slavic from Ukraine and call it Russian. At that time kiev had been for 1000 years. Russia is not older than the USa

General Petraeus has been advocating that the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) should be supplied to Ukraine, for weeks ! No one seems to be listening to him ! The provision of this weapon system should be expedited immediately.

You have the same cadance and tone as Macgregor maybe that's how you all talk in your War Colleges but he's clearly much more competent than you at analysing the situation or maybe you have other motivations to obscure the reality

2 Sarmat Missiles can destroy every Eu capitol city in 205 seconds or less. All they need is a new army and air force.

Hard to believe but Ukraine previously promised Putin they would not try to blow up the Black Sea Fleet. That is why Putin should not talk to Ukraine, until they run Zelensky up the flag pole, in high-heels and Winter Speedo

Petraeus seems to be th U.S.-General-Custer of the 21st century

Petraeus:
"...Leopard tanks, Abrams tank, Challenger tanks,...that would be the last piece they would to ..."
Excuse me, General....you forgot the Patriot Missile systems, and F16. Once Zelensky got his shopping list filled, Moscow is within sight.

Link to the full interview?

Gen. Betrayus. The adzhat from Iraq war

Let’s not help them turn things around, eh. Don’t give them expert advice…

boots on the ground time to have the boy's feel what a war looks like Biden agrees send them to the battle field and long live wall Street 🤣🤐🤑😉😂

lay-o-pard tanks…

F16s needed

Are you sending super glue tanks ?

Close air support. NATO where are you?

General Betray-us.

SLAVA UKRAINI HEROYAM SLAVA 🇺🇦🇺🇲🇪🇺💪

A CNN commentator who was the chief General in Afghanistan, and CIA head dude who was politically taken out and put to better political uses with monetary benefit. Somewhat of a Bagdad Bob

Propaganda General ,lots of double talks,no wonder he failed in Afghanistan

why it is necessary to expand NATO, why Israel, America and Europe want to rule the whole world

Is anyone concerned about giving those people billions in U.S. weapon systems?

☝🏻 WAR💅 PIG

Yeah, sure the same as winning in Afghanistan. In reality the front is about to collapse. Ukraine already lost most trained and motivated soldiers along with almost all hardware it had before the war plus hundreds of tanks and IFVs it got from Eastern Europe. Zelenskyy strategy is reduced to rounding up civilians often at gunpoint and throwing them into a meat grinder in a futile attempt to stabilize the front. It's now abundantly clear that Zelenskyy lied about a real Ukrainian mobilization potential. Even these drastic measures clearly cannot save him. The war is lost by Ukraine. This tank delivery announcement is just a transparent attempt to deflect accusations in an inevitable future blame game.

Ukraine is losing guys... time to pack up and go home..

We’re you a general ?oh I forgot you are an a Yank-who never won a war -by the way Bakhmut is gone😅
