Once again, the Kremlin maintains that is Ukraine’s fault:

I saw a related story with a photo of the team that attacked the children's hospital.
How long before this guy finds a window to fall from?

He defected. If the CIA has any sense, he's in Washington by now.

Even discussing this option is enough to make Putin roll over in bed for nights on end. Let him squirm. He’s already lost the war and the peace anyhow..

If Putin is willing to suffer the loss of equipment and human life, the Ukrainians are gong to be conquered.
If the Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon learn anything (and if history is a good teacher, they don't), fundamental changes need to be made in the U.S. military if we must fight a peer vs. peer war. Some lessons from war, and not just the Ukrainian War:
- Your enemy has technology, too. See the above video. Whatever you can do, they can counter, and vice-versa.
- With a few exceptions, Wunderwaffe do not win wars.
- In a static war of attrition, defense is less costly in terms of equipment and casualties than offense.
- Combined maneuver warfare does not work well without air parity, or better, air superiority.
- Quantity has a quality of its own.
- Modern combat is voracious in terms of munitions and equipment.
