What’s this I’m hearing of Ukrainian counter attack in Kiev and other areas? Sounds petty foolish to launch offensives when you have no air cover. The rebels in Syria would the same thing over and over again in Aleppo/Hama region. They would suffer horrific casualties and lose more territory.
I've seen this. If true, UA should fight by night using all the late gen NVGs NATO has given them. This will at least partly ameliorate Russian air power.

have you guys watched this interview? Petraeus was very negative on Russia from strategy to fighting capabilities to logistics. could Petraeus be right?

McArthur once said: "victory has no substitute!"

let's see if Putin can win it.
And what is Petraeus claim to fame? The Anbar Awakening? The Surge in Iraq? Or the supposed brilliant tactical writing on COIN that was heavily publicized on much fanfare in order to sell to the American public on then Pres.Bush Jr. "SURGE" strategy. When all it was to essentially bribed, pay the various tribal leaders in Iraq, working in tandem with Sunni led fighters with tacit support from the Saudis to clamped down on violence. The same stupid shit could not be replicated in Afghanistan where Gen.Horny Petraeus failed to apply his non-existent brilliance, where at the end he fell on his own petard by seducing his propagandist/biographer then letting her have copies of sensitive documents with national security implications.

I am sorry to say but the man is only brilliant due to the media hype and media boosters desperate to find some kind of hero to sell to the American people during the darkest days of the Iraqi insurgency. Here's some of the most pointed criticism military officers have against him:

The fraud that General David Petraeus perpetrated on America started many years before the general seduced Paula Broadwell … More so than any other leading military figure, Petraeus’ entire philosophy has been based on hiding the truth, on deception, on building a false image. “Perception” is key, he wrote in his 1987 Princeton dissertation: “What policymakers believe to have taken place in any particular case is what matters — more than what actually occurred.”

"A network of dozens of laboratories operated in Ukraine under the direction of and financial support from the Pentagon. Military biological programmes were carried out there, including experiments with samples of the coronavirus, anthrax, cholera, African swine fever and other deadly diseases," Putin said.

"They are now trying to sweep up the traces of these secret programmes. But we have every reason to believe that in the immediate vicinity of Russia, in Ukraine, components of biological weapons were effectively being created," Putin added.
