Ukraine’s top leaders continue to misunderstand the difference in meaning between imminent and inevitable. These are synonyms with a difference: An event that is “imminent” is about to happen, occur or take place very soon, especially an event (like a decree dismissing the commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces). An “inevitable” event is something that’s impossible to avoid or prevent, for example, death.
We pointed this out two years ago on the eve of Russia’s attempt to decapitate Kyiv after Z and his sycophants had played down the threat of a full-blown invasion. The rift between the United States and Ukraine, which is not rhetorical or analytical, has only widened since then, thanks, in part, to legacy media jornos, the same ones who at the start of the war ten years ago told us it was a “a pro-Russia separatist uprising.”
Under, Z, Ukraine’s state institutions for the past two years have failed to improve recruitment to the AFU and improve the regulatory framework governing the military-industrial complex. As a result, Ukraine doesn’t have enough soldiers, weapons and ammunition in 2024. A third related fuck-up has the president’s willful failure to understand what should happen and not happen on the battlefield.
That’s according to Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny, who yesterday published a 7-page essay, titled “ON THE MODERN DESIGN OF MILITARY OPERATIONS IN THE RUSSO-UKRAINIAN WAR: IN THE FIGHT FOR THE INITIATIVE.”
With only a couple of weeks left before we mark the 10-year anniversary of the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war, the last thing we want is a retired comedian instructing the country’s top military commanders how best to accomplish battlefield objectives.
Because that would be counterproductive.
And we don’t need these daily 6-minute pep talks. Maybe outsource them to a spokesperson. No one wants to watch a 49-year old wearing pajamas every morning talking about war progress. Ick.
Hell, get Madonna and Sean Penn as a mutual friend suggested.
Of course the Pyjamas could be exchanged for a Clown Suit, which would make the comedian that much more funny to watch, as he fights both the Russians and his own military.
