Dissecting The Washington Post’s “Analysis” Of Ukraine’s Failed Counter Offensive — Part 1
The blame game about who lost Ukraine is starting. We know this thanks to the Washington Post, which managed to do some real reporting by publishing a two-part series on Ukraine’s failed counter-offensive. Yep, kudos on that. The bad news? The analysis is shallow and repeats many of the false claims made by Ukrainian officials. That’s why I am here. To help you sort out the bullshit. Put on your hip waders. The bottomline is simple — the war is lost and the task of assigning blame is at hand.
The Washington Post pieces are:
Miscalculations, divisions marked offensive planning by U.S., Ukraine
and
In Ukraine, a war of incremental gains as counteroffensive stalls
