IF the Ukes really are shooting down Russian Su-34’s, they’re using million-dollar per shot Patriot missiles to do it, and they’re going to run out of missiles before Russia runs out of jets.

Unless, of course, Johnson caves and gives the Dems their Ukraine funding.

Either way this proxy war is costing the US taxpayers a lot of dollars, all the while the Ukrainian population is being fed into a pointless meatgrinder.

ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF PROXY WARFARE - by Andrew Lewis Peek, May 2021, Dissertation for PhD

CHAPTER THREE: RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, 2013-2016 [pg 118 of 446 in the PDF file]

"This chapter will examine Russia’s use of proxy forces in Ukraine from the beginning of demonstrations in Kiev’s Maidan Square on November 21, 2013 to the dissipation of the conflict in 2016. Though it covers all the high-intensity periods of the war, this chapter is focused on the fighting in Donbas and not Russia’s takeover of Crimea."
