intelligence, you have to reach out and know where you want to go, but it takes a lot of firepower, once you can identify a gap and you have to exploit that. these kinds of operations take time. so i don t know what the pace is supposed to look like. many would label this as a desultory pace, it s very slow. i m not concerned that this is offkilter or offpace. the ukrainians are doing it at a tempo that they can sustain. and by the way, as i understand it, you need three-to-one advantage to attack defended positions. the ukrainian president just last week attached some blame for this on the slow delivery of weapons systems from the west and made the point that you get those systems, and you have to train ukrainian forces up on them. and that gave russia time to dig in further. do you think that s a fair criticism? i don t. i don t. look, let s just state, president zelenskyy is a churchillian kind of leader. that s great.
