I hate these foreign conflicts because all the foreign policy and military “experts” come out of the woodwork to get face time on TV and to see their words printed in the papers and posted on internet blogs and websites. So many of these people don’t know s**t and just love to hear themselves let off their hot air!
Russia can take a lot of punishment—America, not so much. So much of what we see is just good, old fashioned propaganda. “One Ukraine Hero-Soldier can beat Ten Russian poorly trained Russian conscripts” Little by little, Russia will grind the opposition down until all of Ukraine is in Ruins. Turning Putin into this weeks Hitler is a poor idea because we will need to work with him in the future. Hoping that the Russians will depose him is wishful thinking. Threatening Russia will only make them cling to him more.
Kind of like when weathermen and politicians become chicken little's on approaching blizzards and hurricanes. It gets comical.
