So what? What are your credentials to be an arbiter of trust? More to the point, is there any reason to think that Napolitano is not giving us the truth? He frequently interviews retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor, who is very much a truth-teller and seemingly Awake as well.
Update: I viewed the interview. Good content, poor recording acoustics. Johnson was subject to some image freeze and cell-phone voice "twangs." He emphasizes that Bakmut was held by ~100,000 Ukrainians and taken by ~30,000 PMC Wagner forces...an inversion of the usual expectation that it takes an assault force 3 times larger than the holding force to take a fortified position.
