NATO forces also train Ukrainian soldiers to overwhelm their enemies with the type of firepower that it does not possess.

This is the main line of the article.

Some things don't change such as firing a rifle and taking care of the wounded. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRv-AjciU7A If this Ukrainian officer has a better tactic of clearing trenches, he should inform NATO trainers. I'm sure they will adopt it. Here is a video of Ukrainians attacking a trench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUO4V2q7HC8 Here is one of Australians teaching Ukrainians how to attack a trench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lr35xOfj2s Do you see any difference? Overwhelming superiority doesn't mean overall superiority but overwhelming superiority at the point of attack. If this Ukrainian officer has developed a tactic of attacking without overwhelming superiority, I think military tacticians worldwide would like to know.

Trenches are a red herring.

The Ukrainians can be and were very effective via partisan warfare.

Attacking trenches and fortifications is a horrible error.

Ultimately, the Ukrainians need to just ignore the Americans - and the English and the French, and stick to partisan attacks. American, French, and English money is corrupting the government of Ukraine and funding the worst of the worst to rise to the top of that government.

The most effective soldier is always a civilian - ideally a civilian that is 200 yards from their home, carrying out attacks with black powder saw offs, knives and blunt weapons at 3 45 AM, under cover of trees, farm land, prairies, cedar, tamarisk, and brush.

Rifles are useless - a knife is the most useful weapon when encountering an FSB or commissar in their requisitioned offices and residences. [ or in a parking lot, store, factory, roadway, sidewalk, or gas station ] . And that is exactly what strikes fear in the hearts of the American and English government.

It is very interesting to see the bots and trolls on Reddit squealing, at the behest of the Admins, owners, bankers, and special Mods, about the use of up close and direct violence towards the FSB and their paid actors. Says a lot too much more than you want to know about Reddit - and Meta and Facebook, Tiktok, Intagram, X, Twitter, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Snapchat.

Partisan attacks alone won't work because Russia like Nazi Germany will brutally suppress partisan resistance. It has to be combined with regular military attacks.

An interesting point, that the U.S. went into Normandy where the Nazis were most fortified, versus Monaco, Genoa, Marseilles, and Nice.

And did not fortify Sicily, and then land troops in Calabria, the Veneto, and the Romagna, but went into Lazio prematurely.

Incorrect. The Germans expected the attack would be at Pas de Calais, a port. They didn't realize that the Allies plan was to build two artificial harbors at Normandy.

The US government doesn't want Ukraine to win, they want to prolong the war.

Right from the start, the Reagan, Nixon, and Carter governments undermined the independence and the rights of the Europeans.

The poisonous influence of the military in the U.S..

Drop any recruiting for the "Space Force". Zero. And a zero budget.

Same with NASA.

Drop the recruiting of U.S. Army and Navy and Air Force by 85 %

The same to the budget for them. And for the NSA and CIA.

There is nothing being done by the Space Force or NASA or NRA or NSA, that cannot be done by the U.S.Army or U.S. Air Force.

I talked to someone who supposedly trained some Ukranian troops. He said the military facilities over there were rudimentary and the recruits were not all that receptive to the training. Not Ukraine's best and brightest.
