France's suggestion of non-combat NATO troops in Ukraine will create uncertainty in the Kremlin that will add to his post-election problems, Philip Ingram tells Frontline
MeggieZZZ,
It looks like you didn’t get the memo from Zeeper Troll Farm Headquarters:
Zeepers are now spelling Russia correctly. It’s no longer RuZZia.
Just thought I’d help you out.
HEIL MEGGIEZZZ!
If I have all the ammo I want, and you have none, one of us is disarmed.
Being obtuse about it doesn't change your disarmed situation.
Help the retread find his checkbook! 
Don’t call that boomer a retread!
>”So now the Superior Filipino has turned into Pope Frankie?”
To be Frank, he is the Poop. :)<
Wow! We now have TWO bloodthirsty, warmongering “Christian clerics” on this thread.
Can you imagine getting counseling from either of them?
You seem familiar.
No, under a different handle.
He’s a retread, and admitted it. :)
Is it the sneer, and the little lip curl, do you think? 
I saw.
Whether we get answers is a different story.
Something like that.
Putting European troops in the Ukraine is the very definition of a broader war. What logic could support your viewpoint. If you want World War III, that’s how you get World War III.
The US still holds millions of 155mm shells in stock. The cause of the “shell hunger” is the US Congress. Before that it was Pentagon bureacratic turf battles. Ultimately it is because the current US administration mismanaged this whole thing, salami-slicing aid commitments. They should have gone in big from the beginning. Indecisive and incompetent, and occasionally malevolent, describes what passes for the Biden administration.
The whole artillery shell problem is due entirely to the peculiar circumstances of the Ukraine war. Neither side can conduct a wholly modern sort of mobile war, with aerial assets fully employed. Artillery is a fallback weapon for deficiencies in other areas.
Europe/NATO does not suffer from Ukraines deficiencies. Just European NATO already has about 150 F35’s, to start. Add in another 900 or so fighters and fighter-bombers of other makes. And add in a large tech overmatch vs Russian air and air defense. The F35 changeover btw, is the big story of the last three years.
Euro NATO alone has over 2x as many combat aircraft of modern types as Russia.
