I have suspected for a while now that things are much worse in Ukraine than is being told. Zelensky has been finding every excuse to be out of the country. Zaluzhny and Syrsky have been MIA. Budanov has suddenly disappeared.
On the battlefield, we see Ukraine conducting terrorist operations inside Russia. They have also launched a fake insurrection in Belvogrod, an area with no military value. None of this makes sense militarily.
This week we get the long talked about offensive, which failed completely. Regime zombies online say it was just a probing exercise, but it looks more like a poorly conceived public relations scheme. It was timed to coincide with the NATO meeting.
Now we have the Ukrainians blowing up this damn in order to flood the Kherson region. From a military perspective, it makes no sense. This looks like destruction for the sake of destruction. They needed to do something, so they blew up this damn.
What we may be seeing is the transition of this war from a set piece battle between two armies and an insurgency like we saw in Iraq. Maybe the neocons think this will drag out the war. They can turn this into Russia's Iraq.
