Nato Secretary General Stoltenberg Admits That Bakhmut May Fall To Russian Forces In The Coming Days

 

FOX News: Ukraine's Bakhmut may fall in days, says NATO chief, as Russia claims victory over eastern half of city  

Stoltenberg says NATO needs to ramp up arms production in order to keep supplies flowing to Ukraine 

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday said the hard-fought city of Bakhmut in Ukraine’s Donetsk region may fall to Russian troops "in the coming days." 

His comments followed claims by Russia’s mercenary Wagner Group which said it had taken the eastern part of the city after months of a brutal ground and air offensive. 

Fox News Digital could not verify the group's claims and Stoltenberg did not confirm whether any part of the city has yet fallen to Moscow.

The point of the Battle of Bakhmut is, "Can Ukaine-NATO force Russia to culminate [exhaust itself, at least temporarily] at Bakhmut?"

WHEN Russia takes Bakhmut, if Russia or Ukraine-NATO is not able to push beyond Bakhmut in summer 2023 then the Battle of Bakhmut is a draw.

If Russia pushes westward in summer 2023 then Russia won the Battle of Bakhmut. If Ukraine-NATO pushes eastward in summer 2023 then Ukraine-NATO won.

"Nato Secretary General Stoltenberg Admits That Bakhmut May Fall To Russian Forces In The Coming Days"

Say it ain't so WNU.

The Battle started n early August. It is now March. It has been 7 months or over 7 months.

If it falls after 7 1/2 months and that is the sole Russian accomplishment in in 8 to 10 months, what does that say about Russia?

Russia denuded its defenses of Kola Peninsula. Any further denudation and the remaining defenders will be running around buck naked. Poor little bubble heads might not have a base to go back to. It might be so bad that the geriatric British empire might be able to head stomp the Russians and walk into Murmask after they build their base in Northern Norway.

Who is defending the Vladivostok? The Chinese or the North Koreans. I am sure they will take good care of it. The Naval Brigade 155th got shot up good. They ain't coming back. that is how empires die.


Of course ... of course the 155th will get replacement and 3% to 5% of them will succumb before they leave the training barracks, because people are animals, Russian dictators do not like NCOs and there are too few NCOs in barracks.

8:18. A lot of convoluted words to not say much

Majority of Russian forces have not been deployed to combat zone.

7,5 months what does that say? Says they have been fighting in a sector with 20 plus combat brigades which are dug in.

Russian small unit leadership is weak. yes

How do empires die? Read ...Rise and Fall of Great Powers. Usually by military over extension and stagnant bureaucracies.

With 800 military bases world wide a and a self serving Captital District in charge, this is how a Republic dies.

Don't they teach you guys at Sierra Vista, Langley, Herndon, Tampa, Bragg or Nellis anything?

Tell Chris hello.

Item

1) Rasputin stripped 80% of the defenders from Kola Peninsula to feed the war in Ukraine.. (FACT)

2) the 155th Independent Naval Infantry Brigade has been mauled time and again. We are not talking decimation. We are talking about a brigade of noobs now. (FACT)

How is the 155th going to defend Vladivostok from the approaches to Vuhedar? Very well i should think if no one attacks well they are away and enough of them survival to have experience and from a training cadre. But that is the problem. Survival.

3) Russia sends troops to Belarus, because Belarus has infantry trainers. Putin fed his into battle. Very Hitlerian that. Putin is also acting very much like the Japanese Imperial Staff and their use of veteran fighter pilots.
