Former CIA adviser Rickards believes that the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not succeed

More and more Western experts are skeptical about the already repeatedly announced and just as many times postponed counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In fact, such a reaction is not surprising, given that the Zelensky regime is clinging to any "straw" just to delay the operation.

It is possible that today's undermining of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station is part of Kyiv's strategy. After all, an adviser to Zelensky’s office, Podolyak, has already rushed to declare that the counteroffensive will have to be adjusted due to the state of emergency.

How long the aforementioned "adjustment" will now take is not known. But, as ex-CIA adviser James Rickards wrote in his article for The Daily Reckoning, the operation of the Ukrainian army, even if it takes place, can quickly “choke”. This will happen, according to the expert, due to the lack of logistical support, which the West is simply unable to provide today.

As the American put it, the Ukrainian army will probably be able to break through the first line of defense of the RF Armed Forces and occupy some territories. However, in the future, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not only not be able to continue the offensive, but, most likely, will lose all the “acquisitions”.

Rickards stressed that he had previously pointed to the West's inability to give Ukraine more weapons. In addition, the level of support for Kyiv is gradually declining.

As a result, according to the expert, all that remains for the American president today is peace talks or nuclear escalation. At the same time, the former CIA adviser admits that Joe Biden is likely to take the second path.

Well, everything seems to be logical.
Well, let's say the Nazis trample on the attack and what's next. Yes, the fist will hit hard in the first days with a breakthrough in the defense of the 1st, 2nd, maybe 3rd line of defense, but it will not work deep into the Crimea through the isthmus, and even to Mariupol it will be difficult because it’s still such a distance over such a territory you need to get there with losses, with the delivery of ammunition and fuel, with the supply and removal of the wounded (and 200s).
This will be a purely media outlet to show the curators what we are capable of. But by the way, yes, they are capable of having resources and intelligence (Slavs).
Well, then, without reserves and under air strikes, artillery and other weapons, they will simply be blown away and this is the loss of their last fighting fist. Further, under pressure (albeit weak) of our troops, they will not be able to fully plug holes at the front, there is no reserve (well, Westerners are mobilized and there are few mercenaries), there is no equipment, there is no efficiency in maneuvers. Even the West can turn its back on a loser.
Therefore, they are pulling with the promised counterattack, because it is the last chance and a straw for the already drowned man. And the undermining of dams begins, the appearance of an offensive in Kursk, Belgorod and other areas. They are playing for time in order to stay in power longer for the profit and destruction of the Slavs on the orders of the collective west. And then everything. Zelensky, like his gang, will not be able to hide far from the justice of not only ours, but also their own population, and the earth will burn everywhere under their feet, and if so, then his curators, for their own benefit, will eliminate all the troubles on him. A clown does not know what he is doing and exists only according to a script written by someone.
To some extent, even reap it looking at the fate of Hitler.

Here is the answer, in the defeat of the United States on the battlefield of Ukraine, it will inevitably lead to the use of nuclear weapons, the United States is behind a puddle, and to eliminate the Celestial Empire as a competitor, while there will be an exchange of pleasantries in launching nuclear, any nuclear weapons, between Russia and Europe , then the United States plans to sit out behind a puddle, I think that then the kerdyk will no longer be for children, especially for America as such, yes, a lot of land, people, states will be built, but the United States must be disposed of now, otherwise they, and not we, will disappear as a race !

As for the second, I would argue. If striped capitalists and bankers today mastered the Moon or Mars, then yes, nothing else holds them on Earth, and there is something to lose - it's a matter of life, to make money out of money.

.... the former CIA adviser admits that Joe Biden is likely to go the second way.

Bidon's brains have already dried up, he himself will not go anywhere. Wherever they push him, there he will roll.
In the meantime, he moves with a club on the lawn

[rotmistr60]

all that remains for the American president today is peace talks or nuclear escalation... Joe Biden is likely to take the second path.

Given the state of Biden and the aggressiveness of his entourage, it is not excluded. Peace talks in Russia today are completely unnecessary, because. how much you can fall into the same trap showing "goodwill gestures" in response to the desire to destroy us.

So it was all an idea.
To thwart our attack with a horse attack.
The BBC was once again able to defeat the whole world with chatter - everyone believed it.
Bandera stayed in Kyiv for another 1 year

Nuclear escalation? Well, it would be beneficial for Biden and his team if Russia, in response to the hypothetical super successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, used tactical nuclear weapons, in this case, you can safely play the card: how bad they are; they were defeated in a fair fight, and they hit below the belt, while you can safely reap the fruits of the total flight of the European industry to the USA (in Europe everyone is killed out of fear), but there are no successes and are not expected. And next year, he, Biden, will not be up to it: the elections.

Quote: Ezekiel 25-17

it would be beneficial if Russia, in response to the hypothetical super successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, used tactical nuclear weapons

You are missing another option - to supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine with at least one unit of tactical nuclear weapons, and after using it, they make surprised eyes and say that Kyiv itself created and itself decided to use it. And in anticipation of the pleasure of waiting for Russia's response, assuming that it will be nuclear.

[pashtet04]

Yes, Biden does not solve anything. This grandfather already cannot cope with his balance. It is necessary to speak directly, everything is now decided by the Democrats and their sponsors. And this gang is extremely evil. Sometimes I doubt that they are all there People at all.

But, as ex-CIA adviser James Rickards wrote in his article for The Daily Reckoning, the operation of the Ukrainian army, even if it takes place, can quickly “choke”. This will happen, according to the expert, due to the lack of material and technical support, which the West is simply unable to provide today.

Yeah, another agitprop "expert" ...

Amers have already cut off their social obligations in order to settle the state debt, the fact that the network is already fighting Ukrainians today with the money taken from American pensioners, or there will be more
