A Little Demonstration ...

... of NATO's "operations" (mostly PR). The idea behind throwing these DRGs into Mirnograd is to ... correct--to stick the flag of some 404 formation, make photo of it and then sell this BS to public to show that 404 is still fighting and money and whatever puny amounts of the hardware NATO can provide must continue to flow to 404. The result is always the same. 


Here is more. 


Why I concentrate on this. After NYT's revelations in its long piece on deliberations in Trump Admin about debacle in 404 and globally, I was fascinated by the assessments provided by the Chairman of Joints Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine. 

Now he reiterated that argument, and Mr. Kellogg broke in: “Sir, that’s bullshit. The Russians aren’t invincible.” The Joint Chiefs chairman, General Caine, seconded that: Russian forces, he said, were weak and incompetent. Yes, Pokrovsk might fall. But as U.S. intelligence agencies assessed at the time, the Russians would need up to 30 months to capture that entire slice of Donetsk. (In December, they would cut that timeline to 20 months or less; some White House advisers put it as low as eight.) 

These are amateurs. Look at Caine's CV. 

Air Force Gen. Dan Caine became the 22nd chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on April 11, 2025. Previously, he was the associate director for military affairs at the Central Intelligence Agency. He has served in a wide range of operational, staff and joint assignments, primarily as an F-16 fighter pilot, weapons officer, member of the White House staff and special operations officer. Caine was commissioned in 1990 through the ROTC program at the Virginia Military Institute, and he has a master’s in air warfare from the American Military University.

That's American military edukeishn. Caine's original degree is in ... economics. I rest my case.
