One can’t rely on Russians or politicians for accurate information on the war, instead, the best information comes from people suitably qualified and experienced in actually fighting wars; retired senior military officers.
Two such military officers are former UN weapons inspector and USA Intelligence Officer, Scott Ritter, who helped plan Operation Desert Storm, and secondly, Colonel Douglas McGregor, who was a tank commander and strategist in the Gulf War and who was a Senior
Advisor to the Acting Secretary of Defence in 2020.
Recently, Colonel McGregor said: ‘if we continue… to drag the Ukrainians down this path with us, we will all end up in hell together’. Scott Ritter said: ‘We are committing (mass) suicide as we speak and people need to wake up and understand that the policies that USA and NATO are pursuing now, are policies guaranteed to result in a Russian use of nuclear weapons.’
Meanwhile, a new US senate resolution says: ‘Any use of a tactical nuclear weapon by Russia, would require an Article 5 response’ meaning NATO would join the war against Russia.
To those who hate Donald Trump, remember, he said he would stop the war by cutting its funding.
