• [Sharing] Escaping Attrition: Ukraine Rolls the Dice – Big Serge

  The Zaporizhia Summer Blockbuster It has been a while since I published anything long-form commenting on the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, and I confess that writing this article gave me a modicum of trouble. Ukraine’s much anticipated grand summer counteroffensive has now been underway for about eighty days with little to show for it. The summer…

• [Sharing] Who is Responsible for Ukraine’s Failed Counteroffensive? – Scott Ritter, Sputnik

  On a normal summer’s day, the road to Rabotino would be empty, save for the odd combine tractor and the vehicles driven by farmers and their families as they tend to the fields of crops they had planted in spring. The summer’s heat would reflect off the horizon, creating glimmering mirages, while the still air…
