WTH is the Biden Administration Undermining The Ukrainian Counteroffensive? General Jack Keane Explains

This summer, several articles aired in mainstream media outlets
citing unnamed individuals from the Pentagon, and criticizing the
speed and tactics of the Ukrainian counteroffensive. These
critiques appear to at once reflect a poor understanding of the
military goals and capabilities of the Ukrainian
counteroffensive, and also bolster the growing anti-Ukraine,
pro-isolationism cohort in America. The lack of humility is even
more remarkable: the US has not fought a war against a protracted
Russian offense like Ukraine’s, since General Patton and the Metz
campaign, in 1944...in France. What’s more, no Western military
would ever conduct a counteroffensive without air power or
long-range artillery; but by slow-rolling and limiting aid, the
Biden administration is expecting Ukraine to do just that. It is
also worth noting that since the articles aired, Ukraine
successfully punctured Russia’s first line of defense. Why are we
not celebrating that, and ensuring a decisive win against our
shared enemy, Putin?


General Jack Keane is a retired 4-star general, the chairman of
the Institute for the Study of War and Fox News Senior Strategic

Policy Board and has advised four Defense Secretaries and is a
