c_v,
Either you don't watch Brian's videos or, if you do, you don't pay attention. Brian goes into great detail about all of Ukraine's so called 'successes'. Far from ignoring or shying away from them - he addresses them head on. The reason he doesn't do it very often is simply because there are so few of them.
The Kherson counter-offensive wasn't just a failure - it was a complete disaster. Ukraine lost untold numbers of troops and kit. This is widely accepted and acknowledged and born out by the pro-Ukrainian military maps that show little or no territorial gain by Zelensky's forces. Ukrainian top brass then became under huge pressure - as in massive - to pull something out of the bag - and quickly. They were (and still are) desperate. They had to do something, anything, in order to justify the £$billions wasted on them by the west and to give the likes of you, CV and R_L some hope. So, what they did was all they could do. Namely, they focused on the areas that were poorly defended by the Russians and decided to swamp them with troops and kit. The Russians, being sensible, made a tactical withdrawal, thereby conserving most of their troops and kit
to literally fight another day elsewhere. Meanwhile, western puppet masters and MSM celebrate this great 'victory' [cough], Ukrainian forces are stuck defending territory that holds no great strategic value. Now, that might be your idea of 'playing a blinder', but I'd call it more of a blunder, a hollow victory and a strategic mistake that will likely be very costly to Ukraine in the future.
You don't appear to understand that it's Russia who's running the show and it's up to them to determine what and where the 'main focus of operations' are. Ukraine's job is merely to defend.
The only thing that's embarrassing is how easily you've been duped by western propaganda and your inability to form any kind of logical argument to support your position. (More in that, below.)
Astonishing and very troubling. Of all the wishful thinking, pie in the sky, fantastical nonsense that you've posted c_v, this comment trumps them all. If you seriously think that a conflict of this kind is determined by what one side states it will be, then you really haven't got a grasp - let alone a firm one - on how the world works. It's precisely because of such arrogance and hubris that we're in the mess we're in. You so need to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest every syllable of this article (posted earlier in the thread) by Prof. Jeffery Sachs:
THE WEST’S FALSE NARRATIVE ABOUT RUSSIA AND CHINA
As always when you're presented with 'cr4p' you don't like and have no answer for - you dismiss the presenter. To give you your dues, you really are expert at shooting the messenger and completely ignoring the message. If Brian's logic is flawed and the conclusions he draws are incorrect, then it should be easy enough to highlight them, explain their shortcomings and then present an alternative - more credible - explanation. That you so very rarely ever do that tells us all that we need to know about the strength and substance of your argument.
Tim.
