Are the red lines that are put on Ukraine, to prevent it from "provoking Russia," doing the job they are intended to do? Or do they give Putin an advantage in the war that he, without provocation, started? Chuck Pfarrer, one of America's most renowned and respected military authors and analysts, discusses with Kyiv Post's Jason Jay Smart why the current restrictions put on Kyiv, specifically, will change the outcome of the war.
Pfarrer, having been a former Squadron Leader of SEAL Team 6, explains why the failure of Russia's attempted attack is indicative of larger, systematic problems within the Russian military.
Russia, time and again, fails to make significant headway in Ukraine as it tries to face down not only Ukrainian soldiers, but its own Russian troops who are becoming increasingly unwilling to become cannon fodder. As the war progresses, Russian morale will only further fall, leading to larger organizational problems within their faltering military.
