"6/ But what Zelenskyy asked for, more than anything, was for the U.S. to keep our foot on the gas through the onset of winter. As the ground freezes, there will be a natural pause the Ukrainians need to punch Russia in the teeth a few times before then, especially in the south."Read on Twitter
"4/ The Russians have drastically scaled back their goals of taking the whole country, theyve had over 60k uniformed military killed or wounded, including dozens of high-ranking officers, and they have 80% of their ground forces committed to the fight in Ukraine."Read on Twitter
"5/ On the economic side, they're facing nearly 50% inflation & their economy is expected to contract by 10% this year. As time goes on, so will the economic damage. On the battlefield, they're showing signs of fatigue, and their logistical failures have become almost legendary."Read on Twitter
