Kiev's repeated touting of its readiness to break through Russian defensive lines proved a wrongful tactic, Larry Johnson, a retired CIA intelligence officer, told Sputnik
Kiev is unwilling to “take responsibility for launching an attack that has no chance of succeeding” he said referring to the counteroffensive.
“Primarily because they lack air cover, they're now trying to blame journalists or someone else” Larry Johnson added.

I’m amazed at how people with zero experience in the actual conduct of war assume it should be a giant “one way” sign indicating everything goes well for them, and the enemy doesn’t get a vote. If it hasn’t sunk into the minds of these naysayers that Russia is at war with a very capable enemy backed by the resources of the U.S., NATO, and Europe by now, it never will . Russia claims an 8:1 kill advantage over Ukraine, and supports a 400,000-plus number for Ukrainian KIA’s. This means 50,000 Russian KIA. They didn’t die by accident. But these naysayers resort to ignorant racism in attacking the very people who orchestrated this 8:1 kill advantage against all odds. It is the sign of a rank amateur, or worse—a propagandist working for the other side. War is hell. Accept that the enemy will land some punches. But never lose faith in your own fighter, or the trainer in the corner. Otherwise you’re just rooting for the other guy.
