Petraeus served over 37 years in the US military. 00:01:43 Yevgeny Prigozhin saw an existential threat freom The Ministry of Defense. 00:06:51 Prigozhin could disavow The Wagner Group, before he became so high profile. 00:08:08 What impact does it have on morale if politicians are disagreeing, fighting? 00:10:15 The counter offensive, is grindingly achieving steady, but slow gains. 00:13:34 Ukraine will reach a point where they can bring a combined arms capability to bear. 00:19:07 You have to try to appreciate the incredible determination of Ukrainian citizens. 00:25:08 Germany is a crucial player, the biggest economy, the biggest population, etc. 00:30:50 I came away feeling that the Ukrainian forces have really been transformed. 00:34:55 The operations in Belgorod, showed that the Russian defenses were inadequate. 00:38:11 We’ve seen what happens when countries (with strong central governments) collapse. 00:41:24 It’s impossible to grasp how substantial 2 million rounds of heavy artillery is. 00:44:14 Rocket systems range extended from roughly 70 kilometers to 150 kilometers. 00:45:13 It means Ukrainians have not had capabilities quite as soon as they would have. 00:47:55 I don’t necessarily think that’s attainable with this summer fighting season. ---------- PLATFORMS: Twitter: Instagram: Podcast: Linkedin: Patreon: ---------- Welcome to the Silicon Curtain podcast.
