Episode notes
U.S. Military Lacks Kaliningrad Capability
- General Donohue's threat to invade Kaliningrad was based on orders, not capability.
- The U.S. military lacks the capacity to execute such an invasion and NATO forces couldn't survive in that battle.
Russia’s Patient Military Strategy
- Moscow is confident it will achieve its military goals in Ukraine without a fixed timeline.
- Russian operations focus on outcomes over deadlines, making territorial gains when conditions are right.
Doubt on Captured British Agents Report
- Reports of British and MI6 agents captured in Ukraine likely serve propaganda purposes.
- Credible evidence is lacking as named individuals remain unaccounted for but not proven captured.
