A clown will always be a clown.

Bakhmut and Soledar: a Perfect Storm Could Be Gathering. Time is of the essence, as Putin prepares to mobilize another 500,000 soldiers, in addition to the 300,000 called up in October 2023.

The dark heavy fog of and it is becoming increasingly clear all roads leading from Kyiv are strategically converging on Bakhmut and the small salt mining town of Soledar, 15 kilometers northeast of Bakhmut. Clashes of detached Russian and Ukrainian infantry along with exchanges of artillery fire are rapidly devolving into deadly street-to-street fighting, World War I-style trench warfare.

This unfolding fate is luring all competing forces and personalities in this 21st-century war into a perfect storm in and around Bakhmut and Soledar. While the ongoing battles will not determine the outcome of the war, the strategies giving rise to them in Kyiv, Moscow, and Washington might well be determinative. 

While Russian Putin, is ordeingr to retrieve his faltering “special military operation,” with new 500,000 to unleashing a calculated new level of attrition warfare by coldly ordering human waves of newly mobilized Russian conscripts to assault Ukrainian.
