Russia Advances Siversk, Ukraine Risks Bakhmut; US, German Military Push Back Against Tank Transfers (Alexander Mercouris)

The latest from Alexander who is doing a better job with his analysis than many military guys. A lot of analysis comes down to one's psychology in seeing how things are, as opposed to seeing things how you want, or believe, them to be. He admits he draws upon other experts that have military experience but he does so with a sceptical and largely objective eye. One other advantage he does have is a long standing interest in military matters and a great knowledge of history.

The last 12 minutes covers the incompetence of the US neocons in provoking the war and not having any real sense of what would realistically happen after hostilities began/escalated. It goes to show how degraded the US has become, being run by political wonks and corporatised crooks.
