Escalation much?
Blatant move that could invariably lead to Putin just wrecking every convey, etc. that moves in and out of Ukraine.
If Pooptin could have “wrecked every convoy that moves in nd out of Ukraine “, he would have done that before losing thousands of troops, before losing hundreds of tanks, armoured vehicles and trucks and before the sinking of the flagship of the Russian navy fleet.
Pooptin is incapable of stopping this.
His military is a joke.
Escalation, that’s the name of the game,
And each generation, plays the same.
LOL. Would you scream Katyn 2.0 after whistling past the graveyard?
Putin will just kill more women and babies. That’s been the Russian way of war for centuries. Nothing new here.
Russian troops are positioned between the West and Uke troops
How will these tanks be delivered to the Uke’s?
"How will these tanks be delivered to the Uke’s?"
We'll never know…but we'll see the videos of them in action…. ;0)

“Would you scream Katyn 2.0….”
Says the guy whose country perpetrated that act of mass murder.
You stay classy, NV.

“Blatant move that could invariably lead to Putin just wrecking every convey, etc. that moves in and out of Ukraine.”
Hard to see any other option. So thousands more Ukrainians dead...I guess that doesn’t mean much to the rest of Europe, at least as long as they’re Ukrainians.
Like being a weak puzzy has worked out so well in history...
And the escalation was done by Putler and his fanatical views.
” The decision of Germany to supply heavy weapons in this conflict is a major change in this war. Until now the main objective of western governments and of the Ukrainian military was simply not to lose this war. Now, however 2 months into the war, the strategy is shifting. The weapons that are being supplied are there to steel the Ukrainians for a victory against the Russians.”
