âThe villagers say that they are begging for food. Theyâre so hungry, they come to the villagers and ask for something to eat. The villagers say they are not aggressive. Their commanders want them to fight, to be harsh. But they are too busy asking for scraps to eat.â
So that bit of my reporting was on the money. The other day for New Lines I retold a Reuters story from 2011 that a Russian Army officer was sacked after complaining his boys were fed dog food in tins labeled âprime quality beef.â
The dog food army may not be going backward, but it is not going forward, either. It is more worried about whatâs for dinner than besieging Kyiv, and that is not good news for Vladimir Putin.

Sufficient armor to our soldiers - and that was a war I was totally against. I cant even imagine an American President not being impeached and removed if our troops were hungry.

Not everyone in Belarus is on board with Putin's illegal war.

Not to mention the support Zelenskyy would receive from the rest of the world.
