War in Ukraine

The core of this presentation is an analysis of the key elements of the War in Ukraine. Putin massed forces on the border in 2022. No one, including the Ukrainians, believed he would pull the trigger and launch a full-scale invasion. Except U.S. Intelligence which accurately warned that conflict would commence in one week’s time. And Putin got what would unfold quite wrong. Ukraine would fight, NATO would unite behind them, and the U.S. would support them robustly. Putin’s army would be exposed as inadequate to contemporary warfare. We will examine Ukrainian defenses, their shift to a 3-Stage offensive strategy still unfolding, and have a close look at the contemporary weapons systems funneled from the West and adapted by Ukraine. Projections for the next steps will be presented. Putin and his second-rate economy cannot win on this battlefield. Ukraine can.
