On the American TV channel: The repeated offensive of the Russian army is unlikely to bring strategic success to Moscow

February 1 2023

The American information service CNN publishes the opinion of unnamed US officials regarding the "probable Russian offensive in Ukraine." The material says that "everything indicates that the Russian military command is preparing such an offensive."

At the same time, the authors of the materials, without citing the names of the interlocutors, declare that these interlocutors believe that "a repeated offensive by the Russian army is unlikely to bring strategic success to Moscow."

From published material:

The potential failure of a new Russian offensive could be due to several reasons. Among them are the lack of forces and means, problems with logistics.

American officials say that in general, these factors will not prevent Russian troops from advancing, “but Russia will not be able to achieve significant success in its offensive.”

Belarus became a separate topic in the conversation. The article expresses the point of view that this time the Russian army will not use the territory of Belarus for an offensive.

Why officials wished to remain anonymous in this interview is not reported.

Recall that at the same time in Ukraine and in the West they are constantly talking about the impending Ukrainian counteroffensive, which, as stated, will begin after the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive the armored vehicles promised by Western countries.

Basically, they try to persuade themselves that not everything is so bad and hopeless ... otherwise, under what idea to allocate money for weapons and agitate mercenaries ... however, their PR is always on top and even before the flight from Afghanistan there were peppy reports, but then immediately oops and dumped

  So far, nothing, hopeless, is visible from the amers. To reach the Polish border of troops, the same number is needed. Each village and city needs a garrison to maintain order, and a huge amount of money, judging by the restoration of Mariupol.

    Not as much, but twice as much. And it's time to involve the draft army to carry out guard and security-supervisory service. Otherwise, its presence is not at all clear. Cut the budget, perhaps.

        And the mobilization of the storerooms, therefore, cannot affect the elections in any way, right?
        And then, according to the LAW, conscripts can be involved in hostilities after 4 months of service. And such a conscript will in any way be more useful than a mobilized storekeeper who served 10-15 years ago.

        Be sure to be reflected, but one thing is a mountain of corpses of children, another is adults. Russia is in the position of zugzwang, in fact, all options for a favorable outcome have been lost, all that the leadership of the Russian Federation does is try to delay the inevitable end, and no mobilized or conscripts will change the situation. So what's the point of putting them before the elections?

        Yep, 20 year olds. Crumbs straight. And the fact that the storekeepers are the fathers of the families and the most active workers are on the side? Let's go garlic. Of these 20-year-olds, a good part of them are stupid drunks, and all of them have near-zero economic value due to the lack of both experience and education. But those who have now been called up by the renovating mass are those who provide the economic power of the country.

What attack??? You have to be a complete nerd to plan this - after the failure of last year and huge losses on our part, the Kho.khly prepared even better to repel a possible attack, our every step is visible to American satellites. The maximum that remains for our army is to bluff and pretend to prepare for an offensive, in the hope that the Ukrainians will be "scared" and agree to negotiations

    And in your opinion, it means that the most combat-ready, healthy and motivated men should be put in battles in the neighboring country, so that later they will face the remnants of the army (and in the event of the battle-worn RF Armed Forces reaching the Polish border, this clash is inevitable) with the full strength of the troops of Poland and the states the Baltics? Or do you think that everything will end if Russia breaks Ukraine?
    Do not think that our population is homogeneous. For some, this massacre did not give up at all.
    And now you want to throw the most motivated into the furnace of the war with Ukraine, and when the time comes to collide with Poland, take into the army also those who do not need it from the word at all. And that is exactly what will happen. And what will come of all this?

      There must be prerequisites for reaching the Polish border, but they are not and are not expected without a new mobilization of at least 800 tons of people and equipping such a number of people with ammunition and weapons in full. Neither society nor the economy is ready for such a development, therefore, about exits to Poland, this is populism and defamation, it would be somehow achievable to reach the Dnieper within 1-1,5 years .....

  You, in this case, are very much mistaken ...
  
  For the same, the Russian military-industrial complex, over the past six months, has gained a lot of momentum, and works "like an adult", without any "bluff" ...
  
  Moreover, not at all on the basis of "holding out" for the "Ukrainian campaign", but somehow with a more distant "sight". Much more distant...
  
  As for the "visibility from satellites" of the United States and NATO of all the "body movements" of the Russian Armed Forces, or the so-called. "further deliveries" of heavier strike weapons to the Kyiv Nazis by the United States and NATO, then here it is necessary to UNDERSTAND that as the "fast" or "slow" progress of the NMD, but as the "resistance agonies" of the Kyiv Nazis, the territory controlled by them, will OBJECTIVELY, STEADY and IRREVACIBLY DECLINE. It's just an OBJECTIVE and INEVITABLE reality...
  
  So, the moment will come when the US and NATO will be able to "plan" at least the "delivery" of another 300 or 400 tanks and even missiles cf. range, but it will simply be "NOWHERE" to deliver them ...
  
  For the Kyiv Nazis, in any case, those of them who manage to survive and hit the road, will simply be PHYSICALLY thrown out of the territory of the former united Ukraine ...
  
  And to arrange tank "raids", all sorts of "non-formal resistance" on the territory of the former united Ukraine, controlled by the Russian Armed Forces from the territory of neighboring states, even if they are "NATO member" countries, is very "fraught" for these countries ...
  
  As well as shelling these territories with something "long-range NATO".
  
  So, the process of successfully completing a CBO will be long and complicated. But even with all these objective and subjective "initial", it, nevertheless, is not at all infinite ... And Russia, its economy will not be ruined by any means. And the Russian statehood will not be "destroyed" at all ...

  Let them "mean" what they want. Russia, after February 24, it should be completely "on the drum" ...
  
  The main Russia ITSELF should imply that EVERYTHING, without EXCEPTION, from the territory of the former united Ukraine, from which a military threat to the national security of Russia comes or can come, is subject to the liberation from the power of the regime of the Kyiv Nazis ...
  
  Regardless of whether these territories "became" part of Russia or not. In the latter case, their status and future, she will determine herself. And not to my own detriment...

An offensive will be effective when it is strong, sudden and in a weak spot. And here is the main problem. To make it strong, you need to concentrate these forces. And do it invisibly. With the current US intelligence system, this is almost unbelievable. And as soon as the preparation is hidden, reserves will immediately be moved there and the weak point will cease to be weak even before the start of everything. The only thing that can work in this situation is a strategy of weak but multiple bites. A weak blow is always ineffective, but it is easier to prepare and hide it.

Everyone is trying to pass off wishful thinking. And to put it simply, they are engaged in complacency, tk. The current situation at the front is clearly not in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. If before the media referred to "an unnamed intelligence official, the Pentagon ...", in this case it is enough to catch a glimpse of just "officials".

The second offensive of the Russian army is unlikely to bring strategic success to Moscow

And we don’t need a strategic one yet ... We will achieve a number of tactical successes, and now they will develop into a strategic one. Let's take Artemovsk, then Slavyansk, Kramatorsk into pincers, and when we surround and take Kharkov, then our tactical successes will become strategic, thanks to the transition of quantitative changes into qualitative ones, since there will be nothing to plug such a hole in the front and we will have to weaken all other directions, remove reserves ...
And then we will strike from the side of Belarus sharply and suddenly and victoriously, and under this sauce we will force the Dnieper as in the years of the Second World War!
So yes, we won’t finish them off right away, we’ll finish them off piece by piece, but we’ll finish them off! And the collective West will lose! And we will live better and richer! By the way, this should be written and spoken to citizens!
And take revenge for the "Cold War"!!!

Offensive is: 1) Money. 2) Attracting additional. human resource through mobilization. The government does not yet understand how to combine all this and get out of the water clean, therefore, it is trying in every possible way to reassure citizens from the news about the offensive and mobilization, which will become a trigger, after which the military-political leadership of the country will go for broke.

Well, in general, everyone said correctly - there will be no strategic success. Because they understand that there will be no offensive on a grand scale like in the Second World War. Country 404 is completely on the balance sheet of the United States - why ease the burden of maintaining 404 for them? I believe all the efforts of the offensive (if it takes place at all, which is also far from a fact) will be concentrated around the LDNR and will be tactical in nature (couch IMHO). But what you should definitely be afraid of is the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, because. they need to earn money. Therefore, I believe all efforts are focused on defense.
