The idea that people on the right are fans of Putin is just fantasy that allows the left to continue to bash them now that Covid has lost its luster.
I read the AP article on this, and with a training building and an inactive reactor hit, with no radiation leak, was it bad sim with scud missiles, or was it very careful aim?
As their convoys are getting blow outs and stuck on dry rotted tires, and they are running out of fuel and food, this is one messed up invasion.
Even though Trump called Putin a genius in the context of how he justified the takeover and what it should have cost them in sanctions does not mean Putin is not also Evil and unstable.
It is beginning to look like a Doofenschmirtz type of plan. I really hope it does not start WW3 by accident. Where’s Perry?
Former presidents and defeated candidates used to not get TV coverage or did just shut up. It’s still a good idea.
Obama broke the tradition of staying quiet during their successor's term. Then again, had Obama not broken the tradition, you know Trump would have.
Carter and Bush usually get coverage for their non political projects, and that is fine.
Mr. Clinton broke the rule before Obama, also making lots of appearance and speech money, and former senator Clinton just will not fade away for long.
Having such a large convoy all on one main road seems like a terrible idea, strategically. A few good mines to blow the road here and there, and they're all stuck in-place, in a nice, neat line for airstrikes, artillery and attacks from both sides. Too bad the Ukrainians don't have a couple of Spectre gunships! They dropped all kinds of hell on the Iraqi convoys back in the desert!
It is a terrible idea but it's what you are left with when you realize that all of your equipment is in such bad repair that it's no longer capable of the role for which it was built.
If (and I'm not saying this is what should happen (before some jackass tries to put words in my mouth)) this conflict was against US forces, it would be over already.
I have been thinking the same thing.... Spooky's, MOABs, Warthogs..... We could wipe out most of PUtins army in a few hours.....
BUT you forget who is in charge...... People like MILLEY would call putin and let him know we are coming.....
I know its TV, but youtube the Seal Team episode where they are pinned down in a valley and they call in air support.... A Sikorsky Helicopter and an A10 warthog show up and its an amazing 45 seconds or so if you like America's team winning.....
Visited with a Crew Chief on a sikorsky chopper one evening at a watering hole about 15 years ago..... Interesting fellow who was pretty bright.... He had been in the sand box ( dont remember which "war" it was then) and he said if they were turned loose, it would be over in a day or two.... But just like Vietnam, they were handcuffed from what they had been trained to do......

Not sure if you are being funny or didnt' understand my post..... It was an American military crew chief..
Nope... Just a brief flashback to drinking with Russian aircraft maintainers.
It was one of my more memorable trips. lol
Drinking with military members who were raised on vodka sounds like a poor decision you might not remember, especially if you tried to keep up.
I remembered enough to not do it again.
You got me beat on that one...... Met a russian dishwasher one night though........
