Retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis, in an article for 19 Forty-Five, pointed to the lack of scenarios for Ukraine’s victory in the conflict with Russia and stated: “The Ukrainian Armed Forces are not capable of standing up to the Russian army.” “The reason for this is the lack of necessary military resources.” “There is no scenario that predicts victory for the Ukrainian army.” “The military reality is that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not equipped and manned with the necessary resources to mount a major offensive operation of sufficient strength to dislodge hundreds of thousands of Russian troops from Ukraine,” he said. The United States, according to Davis, should not be drawn into a major war, and the top priority for Washington is to avoid becoming involved in the conflict as a direct participant, regardless of how the situation develops. #shareShow less
