General Milley said as much and rightly was given a slap by the civilian authority.

However, I see him still trying obliquely by his stating publicly the estimated time span to push Russia out of Ukraine.

With the influx of armor, air defense, artillery and ammunition, the NATO allies are now hoping for a combined arms counter-offensive war of maneuver (as in Kiev, Kharkiv and Kherson) and not of attrition against newly mobilized Russian reserves, realizing that peace in Ukraine will not be possible until the murderous Russian regime is decisively defeated.

I hope so.

How about these tea leaves?

WASHINGTON — The number of Russian troops killed and wounded in Ukraine is approaching 200,000, a stark symbol of just how badly President Vladimir V. Putin’s invasion has gone, according to American and other Western officials.

For context, the USA lost ~7,000 soldiers in ~20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan combined while your boy Vladimir lost ~200,000 in one year - a true strategic genius.

Oh-oh! That link is to Macgregor! A guy with some military talent it seems, but the agenda is poison!

I thought I'd heard a bit about Macgregor. Probably was from when Trump wanted him for ambassador to Germany, but it didn't go through because he's such a Nazi. Hear any 'great replacement theory' in this quote found on wikipedia?

“The largest problem of all is really a network of people like George Soros, who are committed Marxists, who see the destruction of the United States and of Western Europe as a means to an end of creating what they think will be this global society and the planet... Pretty soon, there won’t be very many Americans left inside the United States if they can ship in enough of these foreigners."
