  1.  @gc2696  Yes, the 'lost' equipment was assigned to the Afghan military.

  2.  @atpcliff  You jest: Critical Race Theory. Get up to speed.

  3. No. You must escalate to de-escalate. You must mirror Putin's military logic. No to the Migs -- they are actually worthless. Mig 29s are notorious hangar queens. Whence their repair parts? The USSR ? Yes to the S-300s. Russia never designed its air force to fight its own SAMs. Oops. Ukraine already has some S-300s. They are the reason that Putin's planes are flying so low. This frustrates the radars of the S-300. It does mean that Stingers occasionally will bite. Where and when the RAF is confident that there are no S-300s -- it flies high.

  4. Nope. His aims are even more grandiose. He's already pitched them to Erdogan. They are fantastically extreme. He's not serious. And he's never kept to prior diplomatic agreements. The West is going to have to gut him in the field of battle. Period. Putin has allowed the West no off-ramp. WWV is bigger than Nato versus Putin.

  5. Vlad is not for turning. Period.

  6. Putin has convinced himself that Biden will blink. He's also convinced himself that France and Britain won't launch except as a second-strike. This thinking is why Putin keeps running atomic warfare, chemical warfare and biological warfare up the flag pole. They are truly on his mind... and under his thumb. Putin has far more of these nasties than the West.

  7.  @billywilliams6853  Doubly true for Uranus. (Stalingrad) America's aid was coming up through Iran, across the Caspian Sea.

  8.  BPJ  Mud season has begun. Over-night snows thaw in the afternoons to create astounding mud bogs -- should you dare to drive tanks, etc. across open fields. Putin is already digging his mechanized troops in. Phase One of his conquest is now ending. That's why you're seeing so little map movement.

  9. Biden's munitions numbers are far too low. Kiev needs about ten-times those numbers. This is WWV. Biden! Wake up! Kiev has an instant army that has great numbers of under-equipped soldiers. I hope that body armor, boots, and all the rest are flowing, even now. Cold weather gear is also needed -- in huge numbers. I don't think Putin can be over-thrown in any reasonable time frame. His entire KGB career was counter-espionage. He's professionally paranoid! He'll be stopped by simply removing the critical inputs to his war machine... mainly micro-chips. (Hence his dumb munitions campaign. He's saving all of his best, 'trick', stuff.)

  10. Biden is going through Putin to negotiate with the mullahs of Tehran. So, you're right. Biden is beyond belief.
