Let the Russkies attempt that strategy in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, or Iran. That is a different ball game.
It has been remarked by many people that Barack Hussein Obama is a sleeper agent who was mentored from birth as a “Maskirovka” operation or Manchurian Candidate undertaken in a joint operation by Soviet-Russian and Saudi intelligence services.

I would care more if Ukraine actually did something to defend their own borders against russian forces. I’m tired of these places looking toward the US for help on something they won’t do themselves. Didn’t the Chechens keep the ruskies at bay for a few years?
