Energetic young man. I have two more observation: When certain type of woman says NO, it means MAYBE. When says MAYBE, it means YES. Here we see the same - when NATO says WE'RE WINNING, it means NO WINNER and when NATO says STALEMATE, it means WE'RE LOSING BIG TIME. Secondly, the level of hypocrisies and double standards within global north elites always surprises and shocks me. Like now, we see a morally superior position because of Russian aggression to Ukraine, but it was other way around when NATO did exactly the same to Serbia. Not to mention treatment of civilian casualties in Israel and in Ukraine.

@trankt54155 The interesting thing is that actually Col. Reisner is not speaking for NATO - Austria is nominally a neutral country and not a NATO member - but more for the EU. And by doing that he has (because he is a governement official) permanently damaged Austria's principle of neutrality and abandoned any semblance of objectivity. He has devolved into nothing more than yet another voice of the U.S. vassal protectorate that Europe has, unfortunately, become. Previously his periodic analyses were worth following. Now they tend to reflect the illusions one has been fed for almost 2 years, the spin that has led to the disastrous situation the Ukraine is in. To anyone who has been following the war closely nothing of what he says here is new.... It's only new to those who've allowed themselves to be bamboozled by the Western MSM.

He will have the reality check in a few month I guess. The earlier the better, honestly. Less suffering for the locals. Paradoxically he was more objective at the start of all this, not following the Western nor the Russian propaganda. Now, as the situation became more clear, he inclines somewhat into a certain direction. Which reduced the quality of his analysis.

@@hrisoflinoski4803 The Reality check is that ukraine became desperate when the israeli conflict started and the usa turned away their asstes towards israel (like artillery shells). I follow the ukrainian news (arestovich) and I speak russian. The ukrainians are waking up to the situation. Many still are in denial and call those who tell the truth traitors and russian assets.

The most important issue for the further development of the war Reisner missed. Ukraine is running out of manpower. The Washington Post published that the average age now is 43 years. Ukraine lost already a whole generation of young people. Europa has lot of blood on their hands. The draft for peace was ready at the beginning of the special military operation (needed only to be signed) till Boris Johnson arrived at Kiev. No more peace talks.

The war is lost by Ukraine. Before the latest offensive that proved to be an epic unmitigated disaster Zaluzhny said in The Economist interview: "I need 300 tanks, 600-700 ifvs, 500 Howitzers. Then, I think it is completely realistic to get to the lines of February 23rd. " He got what he was begging for, lost it along with 90 000 of hapless Ukrainian cannon fodder and there is nothing to show for it. Yeah, basically this war is a story how media hype obsessed Zelenskyy and his minions traded 450 000 lives of hapless Ukrainian cannon fodder for Russian artillery rounds. It was a mistake of a monumental proportion.

The colonel's presentation was too technical, the real reason for the failure of the counterattack was the insufficient training level of the Ukrainian armed forces, rank and file, and also at all levels of management. As such, all those technical factors are correct, but no technical equipment is of any use if you do not master their operating principles and do not know how to use them in battle. Ukraine's biggest problem is the cooperation of different units and branches. The Ukrainian armed forces do not know how to train troops, how a squad, platoon, or company works, and how to fight as one unit, not to mention how to fight in larger formations. Because of this, the battles at the front are the desperate scramble of small forces. In practice, the Ukrainian armed forces send completely untrained soldiers into battle, that is, if compared to how soldiers are trained in Western countries. There are certain exceptions, for example Azov, assault brigades, which have developed training during the war. For example, the operation in Kharkiv, in the Izjum-Kupyansk region was only due to the fact that there were no Russian forces on the other side, but some Donbass rebels and Russian internal security forces. So, completely wrong conclusions about the performance of the Ukrainian armed forces have been drawn in the West from the operation. The picture of the destroyed Leopards and Bradleys reveals a grim picture of the training level of the Ukrainian armed forces. Also, the talk that the failure of the attack was due to minefields and drones sounds quite unprofessional. After all, those problems were already known before the start of the attack. They should have been resolved before attacking. In addition, the basic thing in tank attack and maneuver warfare is sufficient air support. That was also known, but despite that, a desperate attack was launched. The counterattack should never have been launched until those things were in order. Ukraine's war leadership has a completely unrealistic picture of the war. The commander of the armed forces talks about technical superiority, but forgets to mention (in writing and interview) anything about increasing the operational skills of the officer corps in general and the needs of training of foot soldiers. The situation can no longer be resolved militarily from Ukraine's side. And is Russia interested in peace anymore because it would only mean that Ukraine is allowed to equip itself. Russia will probably push in every way as long as possible. So everything depends on Russia's possibilities, whether it can continue the operation. The initiative is slowly moving to Russia. There will be no new Ukrainian counter-offensive, no equipment, no weapons, no ammunition, and especially no trained troops. The main problem on both sides is the lack of well-trained infantry soldiers. That lack cannot be solved with technical solutions.

Seems to me that NATO does not know how to train troops. As this officer said, UKR troops using NATO textbooks were totally defeated at the beginning of the counteroffensive.

Une catastrophe, ce mec , un Docteur en une quelconque science, on pourrait alors le qualifier de spécialiste ou d'expert ! Comment une personne si bien construite intellectuellement peut-elle qualifier que l'ennemi serait la Russie, et encore moins Vladimir Poutine ? Je suppose que la réponse à cette question est une affaire d'idéologie ou de croyance ! Mais alors une personne censée être aussi rationnelle qu'un "docteur" se tromperait-elle d'adversaire ? Dans ce cas je ne vois qu'une seule réponse encore, c'est son uniforme de militaire ! Etre militaire, c'est juste être obéissant à un Chef, et quand il s'agit du Chef des chefs, celui-ci obéit à un gouvernement, donc il obéit à des choix politiques ! Il a effleuré ce sujet de son discours, en affirmant que personne n'est "neutre" ! (2:40) Son message sera donc celui demandé par ces oligarques dits "occidentaux" du Pouvoir ! Alors son discours n'est pas neutre, il défend bien les intérêts de cet occident dit alors "anglo-saxon" de part son origine viking (pitates marchands, en vieux norrois) ! Une fois dévoilée cette origine de pilleur et de marchand, nous comprendrons que leurs armes, car l'on peu de guerre, sont l'économie, la diplomatie et le militaire ! Si cet "occident collectif" vassalisé à ces oligarques "anglo-saxons" fait sa guerre à la Russie, et cela depuis des siècles, l'on pourrait dire "depuis de lustres", c'est bien pour tenter de piller ses richesses, et du même savoir-faire que leurs aïeux vikings ! Nous avons donc à la tribune un soldat autrichien vassalisé aux "vikings" dans un rôle diplomatique ! Quand on parle diplomatie, est-il besoin de préciser que l'arme préférée est la dissimulation, le non-dit et le mensonge ? Son message de guerrier sera dès lors de la manipulation ! Cela n'enlève rien ses capacités de raisonnement et d'analyse de la situation, mais en tenant compte de cet objectif de manipulation. Mais puisqu'il est au milieu de "diplomates", cela n'aura échappé à personne ! Juste pour vous aider à savoir qui est "l'agresseur", j'ajouterai cette question : Sachant que le mot "slave" en anglo-saxon veut dire "esclave", et que la population ukrainienne et russe sont slaves, deviner qui est l'agresseur ? Désolé, mon écriture en langue anglaise et allemande n'étant pas parfaite, j'ai préféré utiliser un outil de traduction, dont voici le résultat : Ce forum se tenant en Autriche, qui furent alors un allié de rois francs, puisque liés par l'Eglise romaine, je traduis mon texte en Allemand, puisque les vikings germains de la protohistoire auront imposé cette langue : Leider ist mein Schreiben auf Englisch und Deutsch nicht perfekt. Ich habe es vorgezogen, ein Übersetzungstool zu verwenden. Das Ergebnis ist: Da dieses Forum in Österreich stattfand, das damals ein Verbündeter der fränkischen Könige war und seitdem durch die römische Kirche verbunden war, übersetze ich meinen Text ins Deutsche, da die germanischen Wikinger der Frühgeschichte diese deutsche Sprache eingeführt haben : Eine Katastrophe, dieser Typ, ein Doktor der Naturwissenschaften, den man dann als Spezialisten oder Experten bezeichnen könnte! Wie kann ein so gut gebauter Intellektueller davon ausgehen, dass der Feind Russland wäre, geschweige denn Wladimir Putin? Ich denke, die Antwort auf diese Frage ist eine Frage der Ideologie oder des Glaubens! Aber hätte eine vermeintlich so rationale Person wie ein „Doktorand“ dann den falschen Gegner? In diesem Fall sehe ich wieder nur eine Antwort, es ist seine Militäruniform! Ein Soldat zu sein bedeutet einfach, einem Anführer zu gehorchen, und wenn es um den Oberbefehlshaber geht, gehorcht er einer Regierung, also gehorcht er politischen Entscheidungen! Er ging in seiner Rede auf dieses Thema ein und betonte, dass niemand „neutral“ sei! (2:40) Seine Botschaft wird daher die sein, die von diesen sogenannten „westlichen“ Oligarchen der Macht gefordert wird! Seine Rede ist also nicht neutral, er verteidigt die Interessen dieses Westens, der damals aufgrund seines Wikinger-Ursprungs (Händlerpitates, auf Altnordisch) „angelsächsisch“ genannt wurde! Sobald dieser Ursprung der Plünderer und Händler enthüllt ist, werden wir verstehen, dass ihre Waffen, weil es kaum Krieg gibt, die Wirtschaft, die Diplomatie und das Militär sind! Wenn dieser „kollektive Westen“, der diesen Dynastien „angelsächsischer“ Oligarchen vasallisiert ist, Krieg gegen Russland führt, und zwar schon seit Jahrhunderten, Jahrtausenden, man könnte sogar sagen „seit Ewigkeiten“, dann ist es gut, zu versuchen, auszuplündern seine Reichtümer und sogar das Know-how ihrer Wikinger-Vorfahren! Wir haben also auf dem Podium einen österreichischen Soldaten, der den „Wikingern“ unter dem Namen „Angelsachsen“ unterstellt ist und eine diplomatische Rolle spielt! Außerdem wird dieses Forum auf Englisch gehalten, oder? Wenn wir über Diplomatie sprechen, müssen wir dann klarstellen, dass die bevorzugte Waffe die Verstellung, das Unausgesprochene und die Lüge ist? Seine Kriegerbotschaft wird daher Manipulation sein! Dies beeinträchtigt nicht seine Fähigkeit zum Denken und zur Situationsanalyse, sondern berücksichtigt dieses Ziel der Manipulation. Aber da er zu den „Diplomaten“ gehört, wird es niemandem entgangen sein! Damit Sie besser wissen, wer der „Angreifer“ ist, füge ich diese Frage hinzu: Wissen Sie, dass das Wort „slawisch“ im Angelsächsischen „Sklave“ bedeutet und dass die ukrainische und russische Bevölkerung Slawen sind? Raten Sie mal, wer der Angreifer ist?
