The Wall Street Journal is reporting that people inside the United States government are blaming the Ukrainians for the unsuccessful counteroffensive.

American officials are “frustrated” with Ukraine’s reluctance to accept their advice on how to conduct the counteroffensive against Russian forces, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
The newspaper claimed it was still “not too late” for Kiev to follow instructions from Washington, and to utilize the training that tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops have received from NATO nations. The outlet noted, however, that the two sides are still “at odds about how to turn the tables on the Russians” before winter sets in.
According to the WSJ’s sources, the US believes that the amount of Western military aid sent to Ukraine is enough to breach Russian defenses, although the window of opportunity is closing.
“We built up this mountain of steel for the counteroffensive. We can’t do that again,” one former US official explained. “It doesn’t exist.”
The Ukrainian military leadership has attempted to deflect criticism by claiming that the Americans do not understand the kind of warfare that Kiev is engaged in, the WSJ added.
“This is not counterinsurgency. This is Kursk,” General Valery Zaluzhny, Kiev’s top military commander, told his US interlocutors, according to an unnamed American official.
If we are to believe this reporting, it would appear as if they are attempting to craft a narrative to explain why this insane Jew war has failed. That narrative being that the Ukrainians did not do exactly what the US government told them to do and that is why they lost.
Nobody inside the United States government is going to accept responsibility for anything. We’ve seen this with every failed and bungled policy.
Of course, it was insane to think the Ukraine could ever win in the first place. Russia is a major power with a much larger population. Just on manpower alone, this result was inevitable.
