Larry On Jake Sullivan.

Jake Sullivan is definitely something else altogether. The US knew many National Security Advisers who have been less than qualified, to put it politely, for advising anything on matters of real national security, but Sullivan tops them all. 

Give Sullivan kudos for being a master of spin. He presents the press with a steaming pile of manure while assuring them it is a delicious plate of chocolate mousse. Slurp it up guys. He starts off with the red-herring that Russia has not yet captured Kharkiv, Kiev or Kherson. A meaningless point, proving nothing, because Russia’s military operations are concentrated on destroying the Ukrainian army — which is losing upwards of 1,000 troops a day — rather than conquering cities. So far Russia regularly bombing critical targets in Kharkiv, Kiev, Kherson, Lviv and Sumy with missiles and drones and Ukraine is impotent to stop those attacks because its air defense is no longer viable.Sullivan deserves a Burger King crown as a reward to giving the press a Big Whopper by claiming that Ukraine has taken back more territory than Russia has. This is patent nonsense. Someone needs to get a map out and show him Bakhmut, Soledar, Lysyschansk as well as the location of the three defensive lines erected under General Surovikin’s direction a year ago. Is Sullivan really this blind and stupid? Maybe.

Read the whole thing at Larry's blog. But Larry also is correct that Biden Admin will continue with "support" for 404. Russia is fine with it, she will continue to wipe this "support" out until nothing is left, Wall Street GDP numbers notwithstanding, if you know what I mean.
