Blinken 2022.

This is coolbert:

In no way can this be seen as good news. The Ukraine Conflict now seen by the highest level American authorities as going to be a protracted affair.

As feared! Two to three days. Two to three weeks. Two to three months. And beyond that who can guess?

From the Internet web site "Zero Hedge" the original story SATURDAY, APR 16, 2022.

"Blinken: Ukraine War Will Last Through 2022"

"Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Washington’s European allies that the US believes the war in Ukraine could last through the end of 2022, CNN reported Friday, citing two European officials."

"The report said that many Western officials have assessed there’s no short-term end in sight for the war, and public comments from US officials have reflected this. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has warned of a 'protracted conflict' that he said could go on 'for months or even longer.'"

[....]

"Last week, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley has said he believes the war will continue for years. 'I do think this is a very protracted conflict, and I think it’s measured in years. I don’t know about decade, but at least years for sure'"

DOOM and GLOOM assessments to be sure but PROBABLY well warranted. Back to the future deja vu all over again at some point in the Conflict neither side able to prevail, the consequence static trench-style WW1 combat?

"The best-laid plans of mice and men oft go astray". For Vlad Putin too!
