American retired general: Ukraine cannot win while on the defensive

As long as the Ukrainian army is on the defensive and does not conduct offensive operations, it cannot win in an armed conflict. This opinion was expressed by retired US Army General Barry McMurphy.

On the MSNBC television channel, the retired military man said that it is vital for Ukraine to seize the initiative on the battlefield and move on to more decisive action. To allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to break out of the current stalemate, the Kyiv regime needs to get the latest long-range surface-to-surface missiles and Tanks M1.

According to the retired military, at present "Ukraine has put Russia in check, but is not able to checkmate" to finish the game victoriously.

McMurphy also suggested that Russia has some kind of "sinister strategy", according to which the Russian Armed Forces are planning large-scale offensives and other decisive actions in the spring of the upcoming 2023.

The United States has included in its budget for 2023 the allocation of $45 billion to support Ukraine. The main part of this amount is intended for the military needs of Kyiv, but will remain in the United States. Ukraine will get only a part of this aid directly in the form of weapons, which include the Patriot air defense system.

For the States, this is a "business project", if the result is not achieved, more "investments" must be poured in ...

Fucking Grandmaster...
Ukraine is in zugzwang (position in checkers and chess, in which any player's move leads to a deterioration of his position)...
Russia is in time trouble (in a game of chess, checkers or other step-by-step games, there is not enough time to think about moves).
It depends on what decision Putin will make, guided by common sense, and the availability of forces and means, and the prospect of the existence of Russian statehood, and Mrs. Merkel's confession about the lies of the West, and the support provided by Belarus and the PRC (and other enemies of Washington), will depend on the outcome of events.
I can only remember one thing:
"If a country, choosing between war and shame, chooses shame, it gets both war and shame"...

there is an opinion that Russia is simply preparing for a big war with NATO (similar to the Finnish 1939)

[yuriy55]

Quote: prodi

Russia is just preparing for a big war with NATO

Russia needs a short victorious war over Ukraine, which should end with the complete surrender of the Nazi regime. After that, Russia will need to exclude any supply of weapons to the territory of Ukraine and fight the Bandera movement sponsored by Poland and other NATO members for another 50 years.
And this will continue as long as the US and GB exist.
Can we answer in such a way that this pack lags behind us once and for all?

[prodi]

it is more important not to repeat the mistakes of the Finnish campaign ... It is obvious that the territories of Ukraine, Moldova and the Baltic states will become a theater of operations. In terms of not repeating mistakes, we need the maximum possible "liberation" of the territories of interest to us from the local population

[Alex Nevs]

Victorious is not needed! From the word at all. Demilitar task. and denacifi. will be implemented! without ! your "short ..victorious ..". They are themselves. Sami. They will come to this. For the CBO will not offer them anything else. Their life does not depend on some kind of pede-merikosni and all kinds of LGBT swarms there. Only on the NWO.

You know, sometimes there are posts like yours: no topic, no links, no evidence, no logic...
You wishful thinking... Or does it always seem to you that you are ahead on a white horse, and there at home on the sofas old evil ghouls are sitting, who do not want to see Russia free and independent... Yes, to hell with it!
Why short? If the SVO is delayed, then in the race between the supply of weapons from the West to Ukraine and the production of it in Russia, an advantage may come not in our favor. In addition, judging by Putin's statements, some moments of the NWO involve (probably) flowers under the caterpillars of tanks and hugs with the population liberated from Nazism ... DON'T SHOP!
Why victorious? Yes, because Russia cannot lose in the fight against Nazism! A priori cannot, there is no future for her in a society of sadists, murderers and ... pederasts!
So, the will of the Supreme is not yet visible! You can't sew words into action! There will be changes and a clear turning point - do not be afraid, we will accept it with joy. Our Russians and those who fight for Russia are important to us.

Russia, too, will not be able to win while on the defensive. And she is on the defensive from NATO.

[yuriy55]

Quote from elf.

And she is on the defensive from NATO.

She is not on the defensive against NATO. Perhaps "someone" does not want to take responsibility for unleashing a global war between Europe and Russia under overseas supervision by the United States. It will not be possible to defeat Europe with conventional weapons and tactics proven in the NMD - the forces are not equal (it would be time to admit it openly).
The use of nuclear weapons against NATO countries will not give Russia an advantage if American nuclear weapons rain down from across the ocean ...
Vicious circle! And the only way out is that if you want to break the chain, you need to tear the weak links... Tear mercilessly! Or hang a white flag ... Which will not suit either Russia or its citizens ...

[Vyacheslav57]

It will not be possible to defeat Europe with conventional weapons and tactics proven in the NMD - the forces are not equal (it would be time to admit it openly).

I think the General Staff of the Russian Federation has a different view on this. While we are knocking out manpower and equipment in the field. And the use of nuclear weapons (no matter how much you would like it) is the final chord, when the westerners, insolent from impunity, decide to openly enter into confrontation. In the meantime , clenching your teeth to crumble what opposes at the front . By the way, even the mention of the white flag is not appropriate here, it looks too contrasting with what is happening on the front at the moment.

It is inappropriate (I repeat) to wishful thinking.
It is inappropriate to talk about red lines and hide from acute problems behind the red brick Kremlin wall, leaving the daily shelling of Russian territory to “pass by itself”.
It is inappropriate to talk about a readiness for negotiations outside the capitulation of the enemy.
It is inappropriate to disguise the desire to please and reconcile under multi-move.
It is inappropriate not to use the available (supposedly) weapons and weapons.
It is inappropriate to insert reports about the wounding of the “fucking royal wolf that didn’t fall there” instead of reports about the course of the NMD and stories about the exploits of our guys ...

[Vyacheslav57]

Spilled everything or something else left on inappropriately. You, judging by your nickname, are a lieutenant general, why have you been coming out of bile since 2014? With such anger, you should have been at the front for a long time, you would have bitten them with your teeth alone. We must rely on our guys and the Commander-in-Chief, otherwise it’s not in vain that you keep hinting at the white flag. Yes, there were mistakes somewhere, it must be admitted, we correct them on the go.

Time pressure is when you need to meet the time, and we do not have the task of defeating the enemy by the appointed date, if we manage to minimize losses in people, equipment, in the economy, then we can wait for the development of a stalemate for Ukraine.

[DrMadfisher_2]

Russia and its citizens... You have a strange position

[Alex Nevs]

But you shooooo. Seriously! Do you propose "running all over the territory, searching for and destroying enemies with three fighters"? There, through this narrow neck, the main Banderonat "mold" is utilized. And they go very confidently into this neck (thanks to the Goebbelsrupor CIPSO). And practically without "rising from a chair". If you understand me, of course.

[ximkim]

It can be seen that Kyiv is preparing nishtyaks, plus US intelligence and Co. have prepared a rake for Vladimir Vladimirovich, and he will not bypass them.

[Andrey Moskvin]

It seems that while all the rake bypassed. We are not organizing heating points here.

The rake was not only for the clown, but the mattress itself, "covered, flooded" with spots, also stood on them.

An ill-conceived war with Ukraine, this is what they robbed of GDP. The highest level of his foreign policy. And we most likely will not have heating points, since it will not be economically feasible.

Why is this a sinister strategy?
The most common and understandable.

[Herman 4223]

Of course, under certain circumstances, Ukraine can win some kind of battle, but for a war?¿? Is it that we have to smoke in the General Staff for this to happen?

[IgorIP]

Thanks, Cap!
In my opinion, this is a common truth - the one who sits on the defensive always loses

[flicker]

According to a retired military man, at present "Ukraine has put Russia in check, but is not able to checkmate" in order to finish the game victoriously

Moreover, you can put "check" and lose.

commander of the special forces and detachments of the Marine Corps Richard Black during his speech at the conference of the Schiller Institute.

According to him, "the battle for the Ukrainians is lost, and the outcome of the war has already been decided." The colonel believes that the fighting in Artemivsk is devastating for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, despite a fourfold increase in the number of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the beginning of 2023. "Ukrainian soldiers," Black recalled, "thrown into the deadly trap in Bakhmut by the thousands and don't seem to know what to do now."

Black noted that the number of dead Ukrainian military is simply staggering, and the population of Ukraine will not allow Kyiv to make up for losses in manpower.

"They," he said, lose from 500 to 700 soldiers a day! Ukraine loses more people in a day in Bakhmut alone than the United States lost in a month during the Vietnam War. And in Ukraine, the population is smaller than in the US… The conflict is lost, I would just say to the Ukrainians – be careful, because if you think that everything has been bad so far, you will see something that goes beyond everything that you imagined still".

“Ukraine lost in this conflict,” the ex-adviser to the head of the Pentagon, retired colonel Douglas McGregor, agrees with his conclusions. In an interview posted on Judging Freedom's YouTube website, he remarked: “I would even say it happened some time ago. It becomes so obvious that even the most ardent supporters of Kyiv's struggle against Russia in London, Berlin, Paris and Washington will not be able to object. Some may argue, but in fact the conflict is over. Ukrainians daily lose from 500 to 1000 fighters killed and wounded….
