Just caught a couple minutes of Wes Clark discussing Ukraine, on CNN, w A.C.

Too bad MSNBC hasn't picked him up.

Urges 'caution,' as Ukraine forces need resupply AND r+r.

1. Battle exhaustion is real in a short period of time in combat.

And causes mistakes to be made and lives lost.

2. They are going to push until the first snow.

Things bog down there in the winter. Ask Napoleon and the Nazis.

They are going to pound the Russians with long range stuff. In the meantime the troops get a rest. Rotating is really key to a sustained effort.

3. More likely sooner than that, when the fall rains kick in and the muddy season starts...

Might only be a couple more weeks.

4. Yeah, what you both said.

The war is essentially over Concern has to be salvaging troops and equipment on their withdrawal back to Russia. Question is now many troops and equipment can be salvaged before the weather complicates the retreat.

5. Have all the countries who promised supplies

and support from months ago fulfilled their promises?

I'd like to see a chart which shows the various countries who supported Ukraine verbally months ago and who has actually provided real supplies and support.
