and this is maybe the maximal conquest ukraine s going to be able to achieve in the rest of 2022, in this general vicinity. in the other words, this war is slowing down and becoming a tough slog. even though ukraine has a lot of advantages, thank goodness, and has prospects for continued slow progress, thank goodness, i think we are in for a very difficult 2023, that is the basic moral of the story. and a difficult winter. who has the advantage when it comes to the advantage when it comes to the winter? i saw some writing today about how ukraine is getting all this wonderful equipment from norway and countries that know how to handle winter, but i don t underestimate the russians in the winter either. i think they can probably figure out a way to get warm enough clothing to their troops and they can dig down in trench lines and hold positions. i m not sure they

push back to the trench lines. it s very difficult to judge who has momentum right now in this fight. retired lieutenant general mark hertling, thank you very much. coming up, gas prices now jumped to another, another record high, up five cents in just one day. i ll discuss with the senior adviser to president biden right after the break. a monster was attacking but the team remained calm. because with miro, they could problem solve together, and find the answer that was right under theinose. or. his nose. lemons. lemons, lemons, lemons. look how nice they are. the moment you become an expedia member, you can instantly start saving on your travels.
what is important about this, what is the state of the ukrainian military? we see a lot of the russian losses because they re all over social media. we see the propaganda videos coming out of captured russian soldiers. we don t know the status of ukrainian forces. the one thing that is for sure, ukrainian use of drones, small and larger, and the use of artillery picked up. those indirect fires being employed here in the east, i think, are having a devastating effect on the russian military, both in the armored columns and even the videos your seeing of munitions dropped straight into trench lines. clint watts at the big board, as always, thank you for being with us this morning. we really appreciate your insights. giving us some great perspective on what is going on on the ground there. richard haass, some, i d say, shocking, but not so shocking, because this russian army has been pathetic from the start.
