What shocks me is that the Zeepers expect a different result than what happened in Afghanistan. Those freaks are deluded.
Well, it’s different this time.
The Ukrainians now possess weaponry in the millions of $$ value that was left behind by the Russians fleeing with their tails between their legs. The value in hard currency is so vast it is incalculable.
One wonders if when it is time to calculate reparations, the vast values of tanks and trucks and personel carriers and delivery vans will be deducted.
As a truly interesting aside, there was a report of the Russian army appropriating commercial vans to replace the lost and captured military vans used to move supplies to the troops from the supply dumps. The Russian companies have lost the vans they use to deliver to customers to the army.
In Afghanistan we were fighting the locals. In Ukraine we are helping the locals.
Different situation, different results.
