What's more, is that you, like so many others fail to understand the Russian war of attrition against the Ukrainians that began in approximately October/ November of 2022, and that had Russia blown up the bridges over the Dnieper at that early stage of the conflict, the war of attrition would Not have been successful, as Russia required that the West led Ukraine keep filing troops into the conflict to meet their destruction.

Had Russia blown the bridges too early/ at all it would have stopped this process, and now it doesn't matter anyway, given that it is too late for the Ukrainians who don't have vast numbers of troops to file into Eastern Ukraine, nor does the West have a supply of weapons to keep fulfilling their promises, and all of this has become highly visible since the Ukraine launched their attack on Kursk, which was Idiotic, and yes, Political to say the least., by weakening their already weakened forces, in the hope of weakening Russian forces and attacks that have been shown to growing stronger and more experienced by the day.

This has been no different to launching a hostile takeover of your opposition in business, when you are financially weak.

Although at my level of military experience, I am far from being a master military strategist, but I sure as hell know the difference between a bad military strategy, and a good one.

Don't forget for a minute that our war in Angola was against Soviet and East German backed Angolan, Cuban and Plan forces, but that has not made me cling to dogma.

I saw much badly planned/ implemented Soviet and Cuban strategy, while I am seeing exactly the same US led Western Ukrainian planned strategy and implementation.

This while, despite a few Russian errors and miscalculation which are normal in the very best armies, I am seeing nothing but Strategic Coherence across the board and the whole front coming from the Russian Army, to the point of being awestruck, knowing how complex and the kind of competence resources it requires to achieve such across a 1000km+ front.

To top it all, I am seeing Russia not only dominate on the battlefield against NATO/ Ukraine, but I am seeing Russia dominate in the global political and economic sphere through incredibly well thought out strategies.

Jim Rickards about six months ago said, that the lady who heads up the Russian Central Bank, is the only competent central bank head on the planet, and it's obvious from Russia's economically strong position, despite higher inflation and difficulties during the masses of punitive sanctions against Russia and the war.

This very competence and strength which Russia has displayed, has exposed just how incompetent and pathetic the West is, in all of these spheres, despite their arrogance, the US is headed for serious financial dangers, which Russia and China are already starting to exploit with few, but strategic sanctions on minerals needed by the West for their survival at multiple levels.
