Summary

Scott was joined by Daniel Davis on Antiwar Radio this week to discuss the counteroffensive in Ukraine. They talk about why so many people have trouble admitting Ukraine is losing this war. They then look back at David Petraeus’ comments about the counteroffensive and observe how poorly they’ve aged. They also look at Zelensky’s visit before Davis gives his best estimate of the true number of casualties suffered so far. Discussed on the show: “It's Time to Admit the Truth About the War in Ukraine—and Course Correct” (Newsweek) “Zelensky’s ‘Bad Moment’” (Substack) Daniel Davis did multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan during his time in the army. He is a Senior Fellow at Defense Priorities and is the author of the reports “Dereliction of Duty II: Senior Military Leaders’ Loss of Integrity Wounds Afghan War Effort” and “Go Big or Go Deep: An Analysis of Strategy Options on Afghanistan.” Find him on Twitter @DanielLDavis1.
