The Times points out that the military error, which cost Russia hundreds of lives and a 73-piece loss of equipment at one pop, was obvious to Russia's military bloggers, who are a pro-Russia bunch.
Monica Showalter "It must be good times for U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Gen. Mark Milley.
"Just as Jimmy Carter breathes a sigh of relief that he's no longer America's worst president, Milley, who commanded the disastrous U.S. Afghanistan pullout, is no longer the world's worst general.
"That "honor" now goes to Vlad Putin, who, according to The Guardian, citing U.S. intelligence sources, is the "general" who directly, specifically, brought Russia its biggest military failure in its "special operation" against Ukraine. He was out there playing "colonel," the report said.
"It was ugly.
"According to the New York Times:
The destruction wreaked on a Russian battalion as it tried to cross a river in northeastern Ukraine last week is emerging as among the deadliest engagements of the war, with estimates based on publicly available evidence now suggesting that well over 400 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded.. . .
. . ."According to The Guardian, there is a name that's out there:
Vladimir Putin has become so personally involved in the Ukraine war that he is making operational and tactical decisions "at the level of a colonel or brigadier", according to western military sources.
The Russian president is helping determine the movement of forces in the Donbas, they added, where last week the invaders suffered a bloody defeat as they tried on multiple occasions to cross a strategic river in the east of Ukraine.. . .
