This guy needs speaking lessons he is articulating very bad and that makes him not easy to understand while the lady shows how it should be done in a good matter!

As for this corespondent...UMMM

Ummm. Remove that from your vocabulary.

Well trained equipment and motivated soldiers verses poorly trained poorly equipped and motivated troops.

I wish he would stop saying 'umm'

How many ums and erms Jesus. Lost count at 500

When you start a war you can expect to be invaded in return. Surprise!

unfortunate 'umms' but to comment, I hope this doesn't distract from the point of the interview

Emmmmmmm……… ugh….. Emmmmmmmmmmm……. Ugh ………Emmmmmmmmmmmm ugh…..

jeez, the umming, and pausing makes it impossible to listen to without losing your patience. Give your pundits some coaching.

The Kursk incursion is a salient just like the Russians did to the Germans - also at Kursk. In WWII the Germans were caught in a similar pocket by the Russians and were forced to retreat with great losses. Ukrainians are in a pocket and won't have time to build defensive positions to hold it. Striking deeper will only stretch vulnerable supply lines. Moving east behind Russian front lines might serve some purpose but, taking and holding are vastly different things. My bet is that they pull back after causing as much damage as they can and before losing too many men..

Can we contact the Guinness Book of Records for the most ummms in 11 mins?

It's the way he tells it

This guest is AWFUL. What an embarrassment. He’s acting half asleep.

No experts no new info. Weak presentation.

I think this war would have been over if weapons got there quickly with no restrictions on Ukraine.
