This is really such a strange time we live in. Military events are talked about as if it was some stock market analysis.

[FormerlyKnownAsAndrew]

Title reads "if slowing"... get it together CNN

[Channel--Ai]

Counter offense without air power is a bit suicidal versus developed defense positions.

[spartacusnobu]

These war criminals are talking about using cluster munitions...did i just hear them right?

[totalstranger]

Pundits are never held accountable when their wrong.

Someone needs to inform this guy, that the Russians made theri own counteroffensive and took part of Lukhansk in just two days.

[onehitpick]

The art of surprise is completely thrown out the window when you advertise everything months in advance. I wonder why.

[JohnCSmith-lpqr]

Those retired genrals have no idea what is happening in Ukraine. I guess they are full of it 😂

[kvwwgbe]

Answer in "NO" to both, just to be honest.😂😂😂

The real reason that the counter offensive is so slow, is that the Nato leaders sat with their fingers up their bums, and didn't start organising weapons and training in March last year ( tanks, fighter jets, etc etc) as Nato was and is too scared of Putin and his empty threats. Now the Ukrainians are paying for this with their lives! 😢

[Troyxxt]

US propaganda and hypocrisy is on another level😂

[eliharp]

Bless the hearts of the Ukrainian people. I read about what went on in the 1930's this morning. They have to be driven at a deep level of their beings. May the glory be theirs!

[KazimierzSurma]

Two weeks have passed since the interview and the Ukraine counteroffensive is even slower than it was before.

[atomicvagrant]

The Col. should read bedtime stories to people with insomnia.

I was searching for cartoons and this news channel popped up

Ukraines counter attack that started months ago has been a near complete failure. 30, 000 Ukraine kia and 30% of armored vehicles destroyed.

[haskalah]

Slowing? Has it been ever fast in the first place????

[andoreanesnomeo]

Maybe it’s because a timid US politicians have been drip feeding them the weapons they need. Cluster munitions only now? Still no ATACMS. Meanwhile RU has had months to entrench and mine mine intensely. Give them what they need and let them get on with it.

The colonel is just saying, eukraine is losing in a tone down way! 😮

242, 000 russian occupiers killed and wounded 😱
