перемоги української армії
(Victory Ukrainian Army)

(Imperfect translation) :
Reading Bob Woodward’s book, The War, which describes the Biden administration’s actions in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
In the fall of 22, after the unexpected success of the Armed Forces, which forced the Russians to withdraw from Kyiv and Chernihiv region, and then Kharkiv and Kherson region, the Kremlin managed to intimidate the White House with the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons.
Intelligence has shown that the probability of such application is 50%. This has horrified the White House.
Biden called Putin.
Austin was calling the shoig.
Millie was calling Gerasimova.
Burns met in Turkey with Naryshkinim.
Friendly countries of Russians – China, India, Turkey and Israel called in parallel.
To give a signal to Putin about America’s serious response if there will be at least any use of nuclear weapons. The most influence on Putin was Xi, who even publicly warned against the use of nuclear weapons.
Mille in a conversation with Gerasimov said that no catastrophic losses the Russian army will have in Ukraine, so there will be no reason to apply the nuclear doctrine of the United States.
One of the arguments was used the fact that the United States provided Ukraine weapons with serious restrictions, which would be removed in case of nuclear weapons being used.
At the end of 2022, Biden formulated a paradox and unofficial strategy for supporting Ukraine.
“If we fail to push the Russians out of Ukraine, we will give Putin the opportunity to gain something. And if we manage to completely expel the Russians from Ukraine, we will be in front of a serious probability of using tactical nuclear weapons. That’s why we’re stuck. Too much success means nuclear. Little success means indefinite unknown result”
Thus, the White House policy since fall 2022 has been to prolong the war by slowly depleting Russia at the expense of the Ukrainian army. Such a modifíkovana defeat of Russia due to a tiring war in which type Putin will accept partial losses.
And then there was a preparation for the Ukrainian counter-strike, which was drowned in the blood of our best military. When weapons were not given on time and not all. Then they leaked our counterattack plan. We lost some of the best soldiers in the summer of 2023. For the “steelmate” of the war and the implementation of the White House strategy, who feared a convincing victory of Ukraine, because pujlo threatened with nuclear, paid with the lives of thousands of the best sons and daughters of Ukraine.
The decisions of the White House was driven by the fear of Russia’s quick defeat in the war with Ukraine.
Draw your own conclusions.

President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded posthumously the Hero of Ukraine to a native of Mykolaiv region, the National Guard Eugene Kozlova. This was reported in the Office of the President of Ukraine.

🇺🇦The last line before the Dnipro: Now we are beginning to retreat gradually to the main line of defense before the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Our Cossacks are forced to turn west in the area of Novooleksandrivka-Nadezhdinka. The more you will have to still leave and from novovasílívki, and coming soon from uspenívki. The enemy believes that Novovasilivka will not last long, since it is already occupied by both sides, if the fools take it under control, it will simplify their operations north towards Udachny and Kotline. Also the enemy began to attack in the direction of Yasenevo and practically have already come out to him from both sides. This village is like a logistic hub, the loss of which will worsen communication between our units, in the same way will form a threat south in the area of Slovyanka and Petropavlivka. These two settlements we are successfully defending and do not let the opponent crawl closer, the loss again of these villages will lead to further movement of cranes on Andriyivka.

The highlighted part of the extract from the Bob Woodward book is absolutely damning.
Abysmal, incompetent “thinking.” Can you imagine Ron Reagan buying into that crap?
Because of Biden’s failure, an openly pro-ruZZia regime is about to enter the WH.
Which strategy? There was never a strategy. The White House was only dragging its feet with every damned measure, accompanied by a large measure of pure angst. Not once were they proactive, but always reactive, and this with a large amount of time lag. This was never even a hint of a strategy. Children playing war in a sandbox have more strategy.
The flaw was simple to understand.
Anything short of total victory was defeat. he left himself no room for compromise.
The ONLY way to bring peace was a decisive military victory in the field.
Biden had to move with some caution, putin is bold and wildly unpredictable, but without an clear defeat Putin was never going to negotiate.
Biden should have been handing over Ukraine smaller allotments of all of the weapons systems he eventually gave anyway and demonstrated to Putin everything was on the table. So send fewer Javalins in early spring of 22 and instead start sending M109s and Bradleys.
Start training Ukraine pilots on F-16s in the summer of 22.(training pilots is not the same as giving F-16s but it does demonstrate willingness and intent.) ATACMS and M-1s in the fall of 22 in time to participate in retaking Kherson and Kharkiv. ATACMS would have dropped the Ayonove bridge quickly and trapped a large number of Russians on the West side of the Dnieper.
This was at a time the Russian was short on manpower before they mobilized their resources and were vulnerable.
