  3. I guess putin didn't really think the whole thing through. It was obvious in 2022 - there was no scenario where russia would prevail in Ukraine. How could it? NATO is Loath to get into war - but lets face it Europe has a nearly unbroken history off 1500 years of war. The one thing Europe know how to do is - go to war. How was it obvious putin would lose? putin is a serial offender. Each crime bolder than the last. And the criminal keeps proceeding until the trip wire - gets tripped. But then you can't untrue the wire. And so it has come to pass. Europe, Marcon is electing to draw the line not in the suburbs of Paris - but in Kherson - on the russia border. That is what I woulda done too. If I am going to have the show down - let me have it now. I think Marcon gets - good advisement. And apparently the guy has balls. One key point - putin keeps $1 trillion of assets in NATO protected countries. Does he ever want any of his treasure back? Ever? In 2024 - you do not need armies massing the fields. You need a launch point in range of the target. And for NATO - there is not a square centimeter of land inside of russia - that is out of range. In 2024 - you deck command and control on day one - then to mop up. NATo in the fight - in 2024 - target command and control - I mean that is what they said on CNN for the First Gulf War - Storman Noram Schwarzkopf- Right? And that means one thing. NATO targets putin from Day One. The mode of war in Ukraine is obsolete - the day you can target Putin directly.
