Even the pentagons own assessments say this won’t make much difference.



The Pentagon made a number of flawed assessments, each one upended by Ukraine's determined actions.

And let's use some Feynman-style common sense: taking out airfields, ammunition depots, and logistics WILL help Ukraine's defense immensely.

I would go further and question which clowns are running the show in the Pentagon, but maybe I should keep my cool over that matter.

They’re not incompetent. But they do serve at the pleasure of the President. That makes their public communications political.

I mean yes, it’s also what the press secretary has been saying. They’ve been wrong at every step to date because Biden has been wrong about this.
