He also failed to mention that Ukraine's top general, Zaluzhnyi, is either incapacitated or dead. Bakhmut has fallen. Russia's "winter offensive" wasn't a failure, because they never started one. It was more efficient for Russia to let NATO throw troops and equipment into Bakhmut and just grind them down with artillery. I seriously doubt…

I seriously doubt there will ever be a Ukrainian offensive, because Ukraine is now a hollowed out force, while Russia is at nearly full strength.
Yes, the war you've been watching on the Western mainstream media is mostly fiction and propaganda. See Col. Macgregor's analysis. The Russian casualties have been consistently about 1/7th the Ukrainian casualties over the same time period. Russia has completed its first mobilization, and is now underway with their second mobilization. While, Ukraine has had three full Western-trained and equipped armies get completely destroyed. Ukraine is now drafting women, children, and elderly, while Russia has barely scratched the surface of their draftable population.
Russian casualties have been about 50,000 at this point, counting the 20,000 Wagner fighters killed and wounded. Russia's active duty military is currently estimated at 850,000, with 250,000 reserves, as of May 2023. That puts Russia's strength at 96%.
Also, Russia has not committed their best armor and infantry units to the operation in Ukraine, as they have been saving them to deal with a direct war with NATO, which they foresee to be likely. Thus, like the West, Russia has been throwing their mothballed armor into the Ukraine conflict in order to get rid of it.
Russia never began the much anticipated Winter Offensive. They are fully aware that large red arrow maneuvers require a 3:1 advantage in numbers and tend to be very costly in men. By allowing Ukraine to throw all their reserves against Bakhmut and other points of the defensive line in Donbass, Russia has enjoyed the 3:1 advantage in their own favor. Thus, they are simply allowing the Ukrainian army to throw themselves into the jaws of death. At some point in the relatively near future, Ukraine's military will be so completely hollowed out, that only then we might see some big red arrow advances by the Russian Army. Then we will find out what the Russian troop strength really is.

Nothing screams full force than having half your modern tech destroyed so that you have to resort to whipping out 70 year old tanks
"while Russia is at nearly full strength"
lol, which war you been watching?
