If you look at how it went down, Ukraine performed their counter offensive exactly how NATO trained them to do for the first week, and it ended in disaster. They immediately switched tactics to using smaller groups with one or two armored vehicles for assaults and it began to produce slow, but very real results. If they had had a reasonable number of F-16’s, the results would have been significantly better.

Bravo, Prof. Clarke on your important assessment on the war in Ukraine. I wish world politicians would listen to you! Thank you, Times Radio, for the excellent interview.

They'll admonish the entire Russian population for what Putin and his mass-murdering, warlord cronies are doing and make light of humans losing their lives. War is horrific. People inevitably lose their lives in war, and there has always been a winning and losing side, and of course, the Russian state can't be forgiven for what it's done in Ukraine. But equally, the loss of life of Russians, some horrible human beings, some just young men who joined the Russian military with idealistic visions of what it would be like, like many of the same ages in the west. And to lose their lives in those ways... Horrific.

Funny how reality manages to exactly mesh with what we could have presumed to be the preconceived narrative for when things took a turn for the worse.

Outstanding assessment by Professor Clarke. Indeed I’ve thought to myself that the stalemate of the war is starting to resemble 1942 all too clearly. I also agree that this conflict is much more consequential than in the Middle East. It frustrates me immensely to see much needed materiel siphoned off from artillery hungry Ukraine to the well stocked warehouses of the IDF while American Republicans talk about isolating themselves from the world and Fascism’s shadow hangs heavy over their elections in 2024. Meanwhile pro-Putin allies win elections in the Netherlands, Slovakia and Orban holds the EU hostage! I can’t imagine what Churchill would think of this bloody mess other then to see a younger Slavic version of himself in President Zelensky, rallying his people together against the unrelenting fire bombing raids on its major cities. As a Canadian, I’m growing rather fond of my British & Australian cousins for their staunch support for Ukraine in these dog days of the war. Like WWI & WWII, the Commonwealth remembers the very dear price of freedom while our American friends are wooed to sleep by isolationist misinformation! I pray they wake up in time, lest we be doomed to a 21st century of dictatorship that the Professor warns us of. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🫡

Prof.Michael Clarke, you say the expected Ukrainian breakthrough was disappointing... Personally, I think the help that they asked for and actually got from the West was disappointing... U S Army and NATO's Army always advocate that an offensive is only possible once you've established Airpower over the battleground but since the West has failed unilaterally by stuttering and not getting the F16s to the front for Ukraine to use effectively and establishing that Airpower for the Ground Forces to use as an Umbrella whilst pushing forward. Sadly BIDEN and EUs Vonder Leyon failed in providing what they promised. "SO THE REAL PROBLEM IS WESTERN POLITICS" who are rotten to the core stuffing their faces in the trough... 😠😠😠

Correct. Ukraine were in a lose lose situation with the counter offensive. The western media wanted to see daily gains or they would declare it a failure, but every time we saw video's of Ukrainian equipment destroyed they would also declare it a failure.

If west properly backed Ukraine it could win. If Ukraine fails it’s because the west failed yo back Ukraine and west will reap its rewards for that- ie less security, more money to spend on defence, possibly more war and encouraged Russian agression!

BERLIN, December 21. /TASS/. The Ukrainian armed forces lose about 800 troops every day as killed in action (KIA) or wounded in action (WIA) in the conflict zone against Russian forces, retired German Bundeswehr (Army) Colonel Ralph Thiele wrote in an op-ed for Focus magazine. According to him, Ukraine’s "daily losses stand at about 800 troops" on average. "It means that over 20,000 new soldiers need to be recruited every month to replace those killed and wounded," Thiele noted.@@user-mh7ng4vn9l

The Russians don't care about the convicts. They aren't considered to be worth worriying about from the Russian point of view. They don't value human life as much as we in the west. This is another reason why we must support Ukraine. Kate is a good journalist, asks relevant questions. Always good to see Michael Clarke. Thanks Times Radio.

But that is obviously untrue! Certain elements of the US government are subversive, faschistic, authoritarian, Putin-leaning, and frankly, borderline insane. They are so anti-democratic that they are willing to attempt to overthrow the validly elected officials and support and praise dictators. They have been blocking many aspectsof the proper functions of the government, not just the war efforts. Perhaps our leaders have been too tentative due to fears of nuclear escalation, but I'm not in charge, so I have to live with their judgments.

Why are our politicians failing to heed the warnings about the war in Ukraine, we said after WW2 we would never make the same mistakes again, yet here we are ill prepared or unwilling to properly support Ukraine. Why aren't we ramping up our industrial capabilities to ensure Ukraine receives the ammunition and equipment it needs or as per normal are we just sitting and waiting for the US to do it all. We are sleep waling into WW3 if we do not support Ukraine PROPERLY to win the war against Russia.
