Mark Sleboda, ex US Navy, based in Russia, shares his perspective on the Ukraine conflict with The New Atlas
Fri 7:38 pm +01:00, 5 Aug 2022Two American borne ex military who live outside the US ( Brian in Thailand, Mark in Moscow), in a very interesting discussion. Mark’s wife is Ukrainian with family throughout Ukraine; Mark is now a Russian citizen, so Mark makes it clear at the outset that he has a particular view through his circumstances. Mark feels the US strategy is to have as many Ukrainian soldiers as possible killed; that all directives for the military come through the US; that it will be very hard for Russia to win the hearts of any Ukrainians who have lost their men in this war and thus difficult for the Russians’ post-war management, which is why this strategy is being pursued.
