My intuition is that the U.S. and its Western allies are beginning to get cold feet. Having lived through Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, I'm familiar with the signs.

1. Save democracy!

2. Demonize the opposition.

3. Reality seeps into the mainstream narrative.

4. A few outspoken opponents of the war emerge (RFK Jr, Trump, etc)

5. Support for the war becomes toxic politically.

6. Declare victory and withdraw.

Mr Stephen has a very consice style of writing and he does not draw overly wide conclusions from limited facts. His posts are rare but valuable.

The US is always about expanding war. That is US purpose.

Pretty sure that if that’s a current picture of Zaluzhny he not all there mentally and is being used as prop after being wounded in a Russian strike. He is not the same bad ass hard man he was before and is now a smiling idiot who doesn’t know what time it is.

The article didn’t rise to the levels of expectations induced by the title

The article described two attacks. The lack of further details is because of censorship, as the article makes clear.

Ehm... the very first link to the "Russian Defense Ministry" points to GMail.

Thank you for the short SitRep, though.

You are right --it was my error. I downloaded the article to my Gmail for reference. Anyway I have updated the link to the actual source. Appreciate that you took the time to tell me.
