German journalist: The Ukrainian counteroffensive was one of the largest strategic miscalculations of the United States

The Ukrainian counter-offensive, which began in June of this year and which was so promoted in Kyiv and the West, has long since failed. At the same time, it’s not like reaching the Sea of ​​Azov or Crimea; nothing has even been heard about the capture of any village by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

It is obvious that Ukraine would never have done this without encouragement and reassurance from the United States. According to the German journalist J. Röpke, the Kyiv authorities believed Washington, which promised them XNUMX% success in the counteroffensive, but they were deceived. The very failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counteroffensive was a big miscalculation of the American authorities, says Repke.

The 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive was one of the biggest strategic miscalculations of the US administration in recent decades.

- the journalist wrote on his social network X (formerly Twitter - blocked in the Russian Federation).

Röpke also added that the Biden administration “led Ukraine, the world and itself by the nose for six months until it realized the whole truth.”

Let us recall that earlier the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny, noted that the situation at the front had reached a dead end, which the Ukrainian president and his entourage did not like. Zelensky said that by the end of the year the Ukrainian Armed Forces will still try to achieve success, admitting that there are difficulties with the counter-offensive.

Is it a miscalculation? US TNCs, arms suppliers, have now cornered 51% of the market.

[Totvolk80]

Think narrowly.
The SVO is a strategic achievement of the United States. It doesn't matter to them who wins. The main thing is that it lasts a long time. Every day the SVO is an achievement for the United States and a loss for Russia. The more people die, on both sides, the better for the United States. Russia is wasting resources and losing highly motivated, best people. Another five years of this war, and the average citizen of Russia will be an Uzbek or a Tajik. Russia fell into a trap, it was set up by those who promised to finish the SVO in a couple of weeks and solve the assigned tasks. When planning the operation, gross miscalculations were made even at the initial stage. If the consequences of failure and delay of the operation had been taken into account, then the approach to the specifics of the operation would have been different. There is a strategic miscalculation here in the analysis itself and the consequences... And in how many years do they now “plan” to solve these assigned tasks with their “stupid” brains?

[Ghost1]

Yes, in any case, the United States has its own achieved goals, but the fact that it didn’t work out is not critical, since the gunsmiths rose in the United States, prolonged the confrontation, and weakened others.

[Cheerock]

Well, let's do the math, dear moles:
- The goal of our opponents was:
- change of power in the Russian Federation;
- destruction of the Russian economy;
- “denuclerization” and “decolonization” of the Russian Federation, read - the transfer of Russia’s strategic nuclear potential under NATO control and the division of the Russian Federation into several independent states.
- deprivation of the Russian Federation of Crimea and access to the Mediterranean Sea.
Ukraine's goals were:
- accession to NATO and the EU as a result of the war;
- receiving reparations from Russia.
What do we have:
- none of the points of the plan have been fulfilled;
- The European economy is falling into disaster. The military-industrial complex of NATO countries has shown its complete ineffectiveness, Ukraine has lost 20% of its territories, land corridors to Crimea and to the base of the Black Sea Fleet fleet - now an integral part of Russia. NATO has shown its complete ineffectiveness in planning and conducting operations on the ground against the Russian Armed Forces. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have not carried out a single successful offensive operation. If you wish, let’s talk about Kherson and the “Kharkov disaster” separately. By the way, will you have an acorn?

[Totvolk80]

Beautiful! To you on the talk show on “Zvezda”, there are many such winners...
Question for a political scientist:

And how many years do they now “plan” to solve these tasks?

And in how many years in 1941 did Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt plan to end WWII? Hitler planned six months in advance. Putin did not announce any deadlines. In 2022 alone, there were three forks where there were options to end the conflict.

[Totvolk80]

No need for manipulation!
What conflict, how do we end?
NeKROT(S), you need to complete the tasks of the SVO. Where are the forks in this?
We don't need such a beautiful verbal... It won't work.

[Cheerock]

What does it mean - manipulation. I break it down by tasks and their implementation. The tasks of the SVO are set quite clearly. Let’s go to the military-political dictionary and look at the definition of the word “victory”: this is the enemy’s acceptance of the political conditions of the winner. Political conditions in our case are the goals of the SVO.
Forks? Please:
- Istanbul negotiations. Ukraine had a real chance to break up with us;
- July 2022: visit to Kyiv by Scholz, Macron and that Italian, when it became clear that the EU economy was facing troubles. The next day Johnson galloped up and again turned to escalation;
- September 2022: Ukraine’s last chance to remain at least with the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions: the British blew up the joint venture. In response, the Russian Federation held a referendum. The West began to prepare a summer offensive.
The next fork is happening right now.

[Alexander Salenko]

Well, let's help. The counterattack guards were preparing for about a year; a year ago they threatened that they would take Melitopol in mid-December, and by the end of the year they would reach the approaches to Crimea.
The counterattack began later and his so-called guard basically ended up without even reaching the forward line of Surovikin’s line, stupidly in the forefield.
Whether Ukraine is still capable of such an effort, think for yourself. And today I watched Shariya. Of course, he’s not an expert at all, and a year ago he was yelling that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had destroyed the myth of the Russian army, but now he’s saying that the war is lost, that the collapse within Ukrainian society is similar to the war in Karabakh for the Armenians, that we won like that and then bam we lost.
As Arestovich spoke, Tolik, by the way, specifically drove over him. And the conflict between Zaluzhny and Zelensky is obvious to everyone; the conflict between Zaluzhny and Syrsky is less obvious. Their rear is obviously collapsing.

[Msi]

By the way, you will be an acorn

I agree with you. It’s interesting how thrifty everyone is... I’m the only one who wasn’t prepared... without gifts...

[tolmachiev51]

Less, my dear, watch TV with all kinds of Jewish talkers. We don’t know the final tasks of the North Military District today, but the Americans have already been calculated.....! It's not funny.

[Msi]

Think narrowly.

But the comrades of Bandera are walking broadly... Be careful, you will tear the last farts...

[Conrad1045]

SVO is a strategic achievement of the United States

How can you achieve something that you didn’t plan and didn’t start. The “Zelya” regime at the time of the beginning of the Northern Military District of the Russian Federation achieved one thing - to bomb the civilian population of its country, who did not agree with the coup d’etat, and subsequently decided to join the Russian Federation.

Russia fell into a trap; it was set up by those who promised to finish the SVO in a couple of weeks and solve the assigned tasks.

It is impossible to achieve the goals of the SVO in a couple of weeks. After the war, we spent ten years fighting the scumbags who were clapping in the Canadian Parliament. They have a genetic defect that cannot be corrected.

[Alexey G]

The SVO is a strategic achievement of the United States.

After such an achievement, the United States will lose all its authority and weight. They are no longer the hegemon. They are a debtor country, forced to reckon with Russia and China. Iraq is shelling its bases. Soon, wherever an American soldier stands, outside his home, death will await him.
US citizens will starve as their economy finally experiences massive inflation. And things will get even worse for Europe...

[Khokhol Polish farm laborer]

I love fairy tales from old TV!! In Europe already 40% of the population are Muslim Migrants!!

[To outsiders_B]

Verbiage is continuous.

[I dare to_notice_]

"miscalculation of the US administration"
Nicely.
And Germany, then, has nothing to do with the French here?

[novel66]

Yes, actually, who’s asking them???

[I dare to_notice_]

AND?..
Understand and forgive?

[novel66]

Well, they can try to punish for a miscalculation

[kor1vet1974]

The Kyiv authorities believed Washington, which promised them XNUMX% success in the counteroffensive, but they were deceived.

And it turns out that they were deceived too. Is there a country in the post-Soviet space that was not deceived? Probably only Belarus.

[Msi]

Is there a country in the post-Soviet space that has not been deceived? Probably only Belarus.

An interesting thought... It’s good to have a big, sympathetic and strong brother who won’t leave you in trouble... And remember the coup attempt in Belarus. An offer of help from the Kremlin stabilized the situation...

[APASUS]

What had to happen happened. Everyone wanted this offensive and they got it. Tactical, economic, military prerequisites were not even considered, all for the sake of PR

[Viktor Sergeev]

Why the miscalculations? Everything went according to plan, 150 Ukrainian men in bags or plowed with soil, a lot of equipment for scrap, plus what seemed to be delivered on paper, but in reality was not, but the money was stolen. Everything is done beautifully.

[voyaka uh]

“Everything went according to plan, 150 Ukrainian men in bags or plowed with earth” ///

Think about your own post.

In Russia, according to Russian sources, losses are 5 times less than Ukrainian ones.
Divide 150 by 000.

[Msi]

In Russia, according to Russian sources, losses are 5 times less than Ukrainian ones.

There are different sources. Some report 1 in 10...

[voyaka uh]

"Some report 1 in 10."///

And some are 1:2... during Ukrainian. counteroffensive. The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost a lot of equipment. But not very many soldiers.

[Msi]

And some are 1:2... during Ukrainian. counteroffensive. The Ukrainian Armed Forces lost a lot of equipment. But not very many soldiers.

Well, the Ukrainian offensive is clearly nonsense... Where did they go then??? The demons self-destructed, or what... Why are they increasing mobilization???

[rotmistr60]

The 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive was one of the biggest strategic miscalculations of the US administration in recent decades.

In some places they really miscalculated, but in others they made a mistake. Those who survived the Afghan shame will survive the Ukrainian one, and the American military-industrial complex is only rubbing its hands with pleasure.

[ivan2022]

The German journalist is playing the fool. They did what they wanted, but they did not need to make Ukraine the first military power in Europe.
One might think that the United States did not know what balance of forces and means was necessary for a successful offensive.

[Galleon]

"German journalist: The Ukrainian counter-offensive has become..."
A naive, kind person. He thinks that wars are fought only for victories. The Anglo-Saxons are waging this proxy war to destroy those with whose hands they are fighting, to destroy all living things in the war zone. Victory in the usual sense is not their goal.

[Dva parovoza]

“We haven’t even heard anything about the capture of any village by the Armed Forces of Ukraine”... They still took some villages. Why write this fierce game?

[Lord of the Sheep]

The 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive was one of the biggest strategic miscalculations of the US administration in recent decades.

Even without masks they directly say that the sovereignty of Ukraine belongs to the states.

[bone1]

Why didn’t the USA just miscalculate?
