Oh, is that it? Or is it because the West cannot produce artillery shells quickly enough (haven't prayed enough to supply side Jesus)? Or because Ukraine is running out of guys to kidnap?

Well, whatever it is, Kofman should have figured this out before the summer offensive. Some reality before that disaster could have saved many lives. But then again, if someone like Kofman had broken out of the collective delusion before June, they would have just kicked him out of the club. Probably smart of him to tell them what they wanted to hear.
