Of course, WE KNOW that most will go to military contractors, while Pentagon has very opaque system of weapons in reserve that could be quickly send to Ukraine, an unaccounted trillion that we read about from time to time, and which gives the ability of sending weapons NOW from the reserve. You still need to trace where they are ("unaccounted" often means stored by the maker...), check if they work, with munition it means firing samples of them, so it is still not instataneous. OTH, economy in wartime is in shambles, while Ukraine needs salaries for administrators, teachers, municipal services and, last but surely not least, the military, and resources for all those civilian and military activities, like weaponizing drones. This is presumably EU responsibility, and 50 billion was "penciled" for 5 years, plus some countries topping it.

The "next Ukraine." The new proxy in the setup phase. The Maidan "color revolution" is being repeated as we speak, as US modus operandi. *Georgia/Divide and Rule* Here is what they tell you these days: Something along the lines of "Georgian leaders are all Moscow puppets," and the oppression of the poor people via a "foreign influence law," and how it is all about current leaders being Moscow stooges.... *Here is what they won't tell you:* That the foreign state/empire (Washington DC) which pays these protesters or their handlers, via such agencies as the CIA affiliated NED (of ex-Maidan fame) already have their own act to avoid foreign meddling in the USA. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Agents_Registration_Act What the MSM won't tell you is that the foreign meddling in Georgia came FIRST, and that the act attempting to regulate this foreign meddling by Tiflis, came AFTER that. *A typical act of hypocrisy and deception, as per strategy of divide and rule, to avoid continental European/Eurasian unity implemented by Washington DC, as it has been for the past 200 years, using various deceptive divide and rule techniques.* First by London, and very convenient for Washington DC. Then after 1945, after the British Empire was driven into the ground using economic warfare means, directly taken over by Washington DC as explained by Michael Hudson in his book Super Imperialism. GRAND STRATEGY/GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS Georgia, and millions of Georgians, are simply being set up as the "next Ukraine." Such a setting up of neighbors against neighbors has a long history and it is considered the absolute "acme of professionalism" by Washington DC to set up others to fight and die, so that US leaders in faraway Washington DC can haggle and arguing how much the lives of these locals are worth, all in efforts to score brownie points amongst their adoring fans. To "invest" in such death, is considered the Washington DC norm, as stated by several Washington DC advocates for US global hegemony. The scale of such setups is not important, nor how it is justified: It is divide and rule. Such selective FAVORATISM is indicative of a divide and rule strategy, by an outside power. Whether it is currently Tiflis, or historically London which was being FAVORED by the POWER with the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE which was Washington DC, it remains a divide and rule strategy. *It does not matter if anybody tells you it is a divide and rule strategy, or not, because the strategy is given away by the EVENTS.* One might chest-thump around about how powerful ones "fwiends" are, but there will always be a PRICE TAG. See Ukraine today, the "past FAVORITE." *There is always a price tag.* Often the excuses for meddling mirror each other, from "we must help the poor peopke" to "but, but, it was voluntary". Regardless of any apologetics it remains DIVIDE AND RULE.

Great insight. Objective and fair.

This war will end up soon, lets see what is next.

And what about the economic companies who make money out of this war ?

Shoigu is primarily an engineer & manager. He's also just been made deputy chair of Russia's military industrial complex, so he's been promoted to a role he's well suited to, and was already deeply involved in.

I think the 2 X recent arrests of senior officials for corruption may have something to do with the recent shuffle.

Very true

While discussing the change of guards in the Russian cabinet, the question of corruption should not be overlooked. Prigozhin pointed his finger to Shoigu. Recently, Shoigu's deputy has been arrested on the charge of corruption.

Right now I think it is about more htan morale. I think it is about stretching the front line when it is already failing in order to cause it to actually break up. If so then Russia could more quickly begin to really break up and cut off various units and move towards a scenario where Russia has freedom of movement in Ukraine and can do whatever they want.

Good management includes having competent managers for the future, including when V.P. retires or somewhat retires. He's doing that

What's so unusual about Russian Minister of Defense reshuffling? It's a position in charge of equipping and supplying the military, not planning and executing military operations. This is who makes sure the generals have what they need to do what they are ordered to accomplish, how they decided to do it. Shoigu is good at reforming, streamlining and optimizing fulfillment of military needs and the new guy is good at managing rapid expansion of production capacity, without disrupting continued deliveries. They let the professional soldiers do their thing. Those who do majority of the dieing are in charge of choosing how to do it. Seems like the only fair way to run things.

I have a different opinion it's top secret I'm not telling it might be information that could influence people thinking and they might just see the truth

The most important issue for Russia... is time. This accelerating dilemma converges into two conjoining scenarios. Firstly the new weapons will begin to flow into the hands of the Ukrainian nationalists very soon. It will be a steady trickle... but the US have made it clear, it's not going to abruptly end. This means any major advance in the near-future will be far too costly to contemplate. Pushing the war into a frozen conflict. Which only 'helps' the current Ukrainian nationalist regime enter NATO and complete safety. Time is moving speedily against the Russians .. and they know it. So Russia has to make gains now. The only way to do that is make Ukraine pull resources away from the main 'active' frontline. To try and 'win' the oblasts they annexed... in order to say they have won their main objective. They're using ill-trained cannon fodder to push aimlessly at Kharkiv. The Ukrainians know this is just a poorly executed subterfuge. That's why they aren't concerned about it. They're only concerned about how Russia is using the propaganda from it. It is a meaningless gesture, as most efforts by the Russian regime are now. This leads to Russias' real and main worry. Trump is not going to be elected this year. That's official now. Whomever, or whatever controls the US has made that obvious... Trump is not a mistake they're likely to make a second time. This means four more years of a near-constant military lethal aid reaching the nationalists. As soon as Biden is re-elected... there will be a huge push to 'finish Russia off'. Get as much lethal aid there as possible. The Russian regime has no leverage... all they can do is rattle their nukes. But agains, it's a bluff... because they literally cannot use them. Russia is on the ropes... and the regime in charge know it.

This Mr. Petro does not seem to understand the military situation on the ground. Ukraine is unable to defend the border because they are not allowed to use NATO supplied weapon systems to attack Russian territory. A defense of the border is impossible with those restrictions. Plus you do not defend a border, you defend the defensible terrain, not an imaginary line. That is why after two weeks Vovchansk still has not fallen. You defend the river. In regards to recruits, Russia is in just as big a pickle. As is pointed out by those at Combat Vet News, the reason for 5 man fire teams is that is what you can train a raw recruit in a few weeks. US military training usually spends a year training a recruit who has completed basic training to be effective at the brigade level. Real military effectiveness occurs when a large unit can maneuver.

The US just approved 30 over billion dollars to Ukraine... Lol 😂😂😂 Omg!

Say one fighter is shooting 1,000 round a day 12 hr 35 k fighter in a week use 204,500 round a week, no way on earth we could make that and deliver that weekly fir month.

Shoigu is an engineer, not an officer.

@@alxdava2004Correct, it is well known that Shoigu is not a military man by training.

This is all lies

Yet another pro-russian propagandist I had never heard about.

What the hell is Petro talking about? There is no importance to Ukraine receiving aid, he should stop promoting that idea in the minds of people who have been trained to look for and accept the foolish notion that Ukraine, under any circumstance, can win this war. It cannot, because the Russian effort will expand commensurately with any aid to Ukraine. The Russia position is CLEAR, they consider this an existential threat to their nation, thus they will do whatever is necessary. They would for instance use tactical nukes on airports that fly the F16 if that was necessary. Petro, wake up. Petro suffers from an intractable inability to admit the Big Truth: Russia is right, doing the right thing, and when it wins it will actually benefit the US people helping to end the illusion that it is exceptional.

Who cares

Why do you call yourself neutral studies ? There is nothing neutral about your diatribes especially not Nicolai Petro whose book the tragedy of Ukraine is a tragedy itself .poor scholarship , mistruths and lies .
