Jane Dalton – The Independent March 31, 2022
The head of the British armed forces has said Russian president Vladimir Putin has already lost his war in Ukraine after making “catastrophic misjudgments”.
Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the Chief of the Defence Staff, said: “The scenes coming out of Mariupol and elsewhere are horrific, and the coming weeks will continue to be very difficult.
“But in many ways, Putin has already lost. Far from being the far-sighted manipulator of events that he would have us believe, Putin has damaged himself through a series of catastrophic misjudgments.”
US and European officials said on Wednesday that Mr Putin had been misled by advisers who were too scared to tell him how poorly the conflict was going or how badly Western sanctions had hit Russia.
“Like all authoritarians, he allowed himself to be misled as to his own strength, including the effectiveness of the Russian armed forces,” the Chief of the Defence Staff said.
Comment – April 1, 2022
Unlike Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, retired US Army Colonel MarGregor no longer has any vested interest or axe to grind. As a result his assessment (quoted below) is more balanced and it also echoes what many independent observers and eyewitnesses on the ground in Ukraine say.
The Russians have gone in and systematically contained Ukrainian forces while striving to minimise collateral damage.
If they had gone into Ukraine the way the British and Americans had gone into Iraq, bombing and strafing anything that moved they would have secured their aims much more quickly; and in the process created an economic ruin and a source of potential terror and resentment for years to come. Moreover, unlike Iraq this wouldn’t have been in another continent, as Iraq was for Britain and America, but right on Russia’s very doorstep.
So contrary to what the Western MSM says, it makes sense for Russia to act with some restraint in Ukraine.
So why does Admiral Sir Tony Radakin’s assessment ignore this obvious rationale?
We would suggest it’s because the powers that be want war with Russia and the likes of Admiral Sir Tony Radakin and his US counterparts and other Western allies are working towards that end. That’s why Admiral Radakin, who as Defence Chief of Staff is head of the UK armed forces, uses the interview above as an opportunity to demonise Putin and psych the British people up for war with Russia.
Readers will also note how the MSM has been at pains recently to stress how poorly the Russians are performing in Ukraine. That’s because they don’t want Westerners to be intimidated by Russia’s military prowess. Instead with allegations of how the Russians are targeting civilians, they want us to hate and despise them.
The objective, as far as the likes of Radakin are concerned, is to contain Russia. Just as Britain (at the height of its power) and France (not far removed) had forced Russia to scale back its ambitions in the Black Sea region during the 19th century Crimean War.
The powers that be are hoping for a repeat of that. Trouble is we don’t is going to happen. Instead we envisage a much wider war ensuing, possibly with China and Iran joining Russia in a conflict that could see hundreds of millions, even billions die.
Of course this is exactly what the elite want: massive global depopulation. To this end what Admiral Sir Tony Radakin says is essentially war propaganda and it makes McGregor’s assessment seem that much more balanced and insightful. Ed.
Retired US Army Colonel McGregor on Ukraine
“I think in a few weeks people will learn that the losses of Ukrainian forces are very great, much more than anyone admits. I think there will be a different view of Russian operations. Remember that Russians are not like us. Many of us thought when Russian troops entered Ukraine that they would pass like a sledgehammer. But nothing like that.
“The principal reason was that Putin made it very clear: “when this is over, we will live with the Ukrainians.” His goals were very simple: first, the neutrality of the Ukrainian state; second, the autonomy or independence of the Donbas republics and an agreement that Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine would not be mistreated and that they would not be second-class citizens, as they were. And finally, the withdrawal of any claims to the Crimea.
“Crimea was never Ukrainian. Going back to Khrushchev and his drinking spree in the 1950s, when he gave Kiev, which by the way was Russian, control of Crimea. These are basic conditions that have never changed.
“But I think something has changed now – and not because of the alleged Ukrainian resistance, although they behave like ISIS and commit terrible atrocities against the Russians, and we cover it very little. I think now Putin listens to Zelensky and his negotiators, but no longer takes them seriously. And now he must reassess what he wants to do, and he may decide to leave everything east of the Dnieper to Russia.
“Much of this was not Ukraine historically, hundreds of years these lands were Mongol, then became Russian, there are Ukrainians there, but a lot of Russians too. I think he might decide he has to do it. We don’t know, but it’s not an unreasonable conclusion, especially if he decides he can’t trust anything Ukrainians do or say.
“Considering Zelensky’s behavior and resistance to any reasonable outcome, maybe he will decide: let Zelensky speak, and we will just continue to do what I just described – take the entire eastern part.
“But there is another side to the situation and it is very dangerous: this constant flow of military equipment coming mainly from Poland. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he did something to stop it. He was firing missiles at places where he knew we were training Ukrainian forces, where we could have operations that blamed Russia, as we did in Syria.
“They have made it clear that they will not tolerate these shipments to opponents in Ukraine. And it is very dangerous because it comes close to the borders of NATO, and we can see there what was not planned, some incident, and then we will see that the war has expanded. It would be a disaster.”
Yep, Russia has lost its special military operation. Virtually every military facility has been destroyed, within 3 weeks, the Russians had taken control of an area the size on the UK. The Russians have surrounded 60,000 Azov Nazi Battalions in the Dombas, and are on the verge of creating a complete coastal land bridge from Crimea to Moldova.
Tony Radakin is a victim of his own teams propaganda. The West sees the Russian special military operation as an invasion. I wish it started as a full blown invasion, but it didn’t.
If we return to Syria. The Western fake news was full of commentary by sheeple like Radakin saying the Russians were failing in Syria. The fact is, The Russians did exceptionally well in Syria, but no one in the West wants to talk about it. The problem with UKraine, is that Russia doesn’t want to kill sheeple or do excessive damage to infrastructure.
If the Russians were failing, why do we here about NATO leaders now asking for an early deal, while Boris wants more death?
Putin went after the mafia and jewish lawyers who changed laws in Russia so the jewish mafia could steal milions
but Tony Blair allowed the russian mafia into theUK on rothschilds orders
Putin rebuilt the chrstian churches
he saved the syrian people from Israeli and US terrorism
which was done to libya iraq lenanon and palestine
He stopped homosexual teaching in schools

Out your money on McGregor and forget the other fellow.
Putin will have — what we used to call a “boring success”. He will tweak the situation this way and that, he’ll have Ukrainians friendly to him make sure it’s all worked out before any statement is made or documents signed.
When I was in the service, the boring success stories far outweigh the great Unconditioned Surrenders or the spectacular victories. This is because the professional military would like to have a secure footing and a lasting peace.
Putin will keep it dull and — just maybe — someone will give him a grand victory parade after enough time has elapsed to be sure.
Putin’s achievements so far:
1. In the space of a few days, he’s vaporized 200 years of anti-Polish propaganda (of Austrian, German, Russian and Soviet Russian provenance) in the Ukraine.
2. He’s led the Ukrainians to take up arms against their so-called Russian brothers in order to defend their country. The Ukrainians are now doing what the Poles did in 1920 during the Polish-Soviet War, when relatively few Ukrainians were willing to fight the Red Army. Without the Ukrainian “brother nation” under its thumb, the Russian Empire’s days are numbered. Unfortunately for Putin, the Chinese general staff are watching all this.
3. He’s given a boost to the new European Union which is gradually coming into existence in what used to be called Eastern Europe. Britain and America now see that the best way to foil Putin’s scheme to set up a German-Russian Condominium is to make Eastern Europe “great again”. That’s *exactly* why Putin has now invaded the Ukraine. Last year’s demonstrations in Belarus sounded all the alarm bells in his evil imperial mind. A strong and united Eastern Europe — a resurrection of the old Polish Commonwealth in some new form — is Germany’s and Russia’s worst nightmare. The huge influx of Ukrainian refugees to Poland goes a long way to solving Poland’s demographic problems.
4. In an age of smartphones and instant news reports, Putin’s shown the whole world that he’s (hopefully) the last in a very long series of monsters ruling from the Kremlin. Even the politically-correct BBC has now started to make the comparison between Putin and Hitler.
5. With his latest series of war crimes (the shelling of children’s hospitals as well as residential areas, the indiscriminate slaughter of non-combatants etc.) he’s dealt the final death blow to Marxist ideology. The only hope for Russia now is to return to real Christianity (which has nothing to do with the KGB version currently “in force” in Russia). This is bad news for all “leftists” and their “progressive” modern variants.
“Admiral Sir vomit, the Chief of vomit, blah blah”
then
“Mr Putin”
Welcome to the (f)uk, where all vomit is tagged so that you can easily identify them.
Radakin’s is fake/propaganda “news”.
Russia and China are working on a WEF (sic) approved CBDC-social credit joint money unit requiring vaccine app, that will be invoked around the world when the present US/world reserve fiat currency
collapses under its own usuary to allow the globalist private fiat central bankers to retain total control after the economic collapse.
While Putin will have to give his agreement to some of his military’s endeavours I would think he leaves the planning to the military. It’s their expertise not his, and at the same time the incursion is ongoing Putin has to conduct many other aspects of running the country, especially at this time of multiple sanctions. So he will be busy not just with his own ministers in charge of energy, agriculture, commerce, finance, travel etc, but he’ll also be liaising with foreign ministers on many of these same issues. He doesn’t have time to conduct the war even if he wanted to.
Russia isn’t losing the war, so to suggest Putin is losing it is likely a personal attack on a statesman who stands head and shoulders above all the rest. They lie and say he’s losing when they know he’s not. It’s what children do. It’s the politics of the playground, which is the low level of political discourse the west has sunken to since falling under US control after 1945.
Radakin is living in a parallel universe. He actually believes the BS that the MSM are peddling.
And this clown is the Head of UK armed forces.
Fortunately for Russia, the”Head Of the British Armed Forces” – who looks like he might well have been separated at birth from Joe Biden – is your quintessential absolutely clueless THICK Brit….
and all the military medals, bows & braid in the world – of which he looks like he’s got half! – cant hide that fact that Tony Radakin is a delued dope.
Presumably Radakin is yet another “little brit” obaying his zionist masters just like Blair, Thatcher, Eden, Churchill and Balfour et. al. did before him.
Admiral Sir Tony Radakin simply repeating WW11 propaganda , must be reading from the same hymn sheets as of 1940s. He talks of Putin making massive military mistakes ,well , the UK are very qualified in that department , Just remember , Iraq, Libya, Egypt and the Falklands Islands and that’s just in the last sixty odd years. Looking back our history books are full of blunders, (mistakes ) from people such as him, Jutland ??.
I find it evil to attack Russia, and we should even be friends with the Chinese. The consolation is that the attackers can all get Darwin Awards.
What a load of old crap.
The idea that Russia was supposed to overrun the Ukraine in a matter of days and that failure to have achieved such an unlikely feat is indicative of Russia losing the war is, of course, entirely absurd.
Russia sank the Ukrainian navy within the first 30 minutes of the conflict and had utterly crippled their air force/air defences within a matter of days.
This was best shown when Russia had an armoured convoy 40 miles long parked outside Kiev (yes, KIEV not Kyiv) for 10 days without Zelensky being able to do a damned thing about it.
What many in the ignorant West fail to grasp is that the Ukraine is Europe’s largest country and with its largest armed forces, and has also been armed to the teeth by Western powers with the most modern and advanced weaponry available. So this was never going to be a cakewalk.
Russia had taken control of an area of Ukraine twice the size of Britain in little more than a month. That’s pretty impressive considering enormous lengths to which they were going to minimise civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure.
Obvious BS from the UK regime, then. But what more would you expect from the Empire of Lies?
No one with any intelligence believes ANYTHING that a high ranking British military or civilian
official says. The Americans are equally bad. The problem is that most of the citizens of the UK
and US have been so brainwashed by JEW TV and other JEW mass media outlets that they do not know how to find the TRUTH. Taking the clot shot mRNA graphene oxide spike protein JEW death jab is a good example.
British news is pants and always has been
they hailed the Damn-busters raid as a success
even tho the only people killed were foreign land workers
sane as Dunkirk
Hitler let them retreat he should have bombed the shit out of all the little boats
but he kept his word we didnt
use your head and see through the Bullshit of the BBC and our news
Just another tosser with a bunch of fake medals that never went anywhere near a battle. He’d be one of the first up against the wall if the obese british ever decide to take back their country from the scum.
Radakin’s war experience was in commanding a British frigate during the Iraqi war where he distinguished himself by dutifully joining with the various atrocities against that completely outmatched nation. Other than that his background appears to be mainly on the legal and administrative end, reminiscent of a few lines out of HMS Pinafore:
“As office boy I made such a mark
That they gave me the post of a junior clerk.
I served the writs with a smile so bland,
And I copied all the letters in a big round hand.
(He copied all the letters in a big round hand.)
I copied all the letters in a hand so free,
That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee!
(He copied all the letters in a hand so free,
That now he is the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee!)
In serving writs I made such a name
That an articled clerk I soon became;
I wore clean collars and a brand-new suit
For the passed examination at the Institute.
(For the passed examination at the Institute.)
That passed examination did so well for me,
That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee!
(That passed examination did so well for he,
That now he is the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee!)
He is most likely a capable man because he did lay off 40% of the brass, most of whom rose to their position in a similar fashion, but nevertheless he is most likely just one more on the long list of Rothschild appointees running Western money, media and military operations at this hour, and while the UK and US special ops are busy trying to prop up the Ukrainian forces. If I am wrong, in any case he appears to be abusing his position by slumming into politics and propaganda in order to fuel escalation efforts. After all, is it not the aim of the ruling cabal after all of their NWO planning now to increase the threat of a WWIII. Otherwise there will be insufficient public fright, shortages, economic ruin in the West, along with the next bioweapon release to herd the sheeple into total NWO compliance.
As I remarked before its all about dragging the war out– so more Aryan Ukrainians can get slaughtered by the Commies to advance their ‘World Without Nazism’ program, which is a Russian GONGO headed by Boris Siegel (Jew) & with close ties to Putin. Funny how all these morons on here are supporting this anti-white Jewish garbage..
Just read about its history/objectives on the wikipedia page ‘World Without Nazism’ if you don’t believe me..
Radakin is Common Purpose/Freemason.
I’ve NO IDEA where the THICK Brits keep finding these fck’tards…
but Radakin looks like he’s taken time iff from a 12-hour “nap” to auditio for Dad’s Army!🤣

Why should any person in britain have to fund this scum and all his murdering pals in wars that none of them want? Democracy? De facto not.
The american truckers convoy is currently driving back across america (nice for them) to california to protest another 10 laws being put in place to force more endless jabbing. Democracy? De facto not.
Those truckers boast they aren’t racist etc. They state “we’re black, white, etc” (black first you’ll note), and “we’re gay, straight, etc” (gay first you’ll note), and it goes on that way, even “we’re immigrants, natives, etc”. To all those truckers I’d therefore like to say: f*ck off you black gay immigrants. Thank you for listening…

In Dad’s Army there was an occasional character called Colonel Square, about the same level as this over-medallioned Freemason.
Colonel Square, whenever he appeared, always ‘gave orders’ to the Home Guard that they were completely incapable of carrying out.

As if Admiral Tony Radakin, I refuse to call that putrid sack of pig shit “Sir”, has any credibility. Radakin is just another willing ass-puppet parading around in an absurd costume and vomiting tripe. I suppose Radakin thinks (well, HE doesn’t think anything, he just does what he is told by his Jew masters) just because Russia didn’t obliterate Ukraine, her infrastructure, and her innocent civilians caught in the middle in a psychopathic “shock & awe” and slash & burn mass-murdering manner a la the satanic and psychopathic acts of insane aggression perpetrated by the Jewnited States, Jew-K, and Jewrope, then it is a failure marked by “catastrophic misjudgments”.
Radakin is a disgrace and hasn’t done dick to actually defend the UK, just eagerly offer himself to be sodomized at the pleasure of the predators and parasites who turned the UK into the Jew-K and a force for evil. Radakin should be dragged through the streets by his ankles and flayed in Trafalgar Square.
To Fred B–that rhythmic talkmusic from Gilbert and Sullivan was called rapping. To Jahi Sami–why do you connect the end of White Supremacy to an alleged flat plane?
Lewis Jones — Why do people in the comments keep using the word globe or global? Why do they refer to Earth as ” the planet ” ?
The Prime Minister down to the head of the military are a pack
of liars, who in England buys this nonsense? Is this the best you can do?
Where does the surname Radakin come from? Russia is the answer, what religion is nice Mr Radakin we might ask, well Brits wouldn’t ask anything in case of an accusation of anti semitism or racism, they’d just rather keep quiet and allow the savage invaders take over Europe and do as they please with everything in it.
Back to radakin, I wonder if he is a nice jewish boy whose ancestors fled from yet another crime against humanity they created in eastern Europe? There are so many.
