HUGE difference from nuclear weapons being placed in Cuba vs. conventional weapons in Ukraine. Surprised Flynn doesn’t get that.
With that said, countries sending arms and munitions to Ukraine are doing so at their diplomatic peril.
A good ‘alternate history’ novel could be based on what would happened during and after the war had one resulted from the Cuban Missile crisis.
-—sending arms and ammo———I read where Bidumb had sent 80 tons of ammo and stuff to the Ukes. In my old Marine reserve unit we called that “Saturday.” We usually shot until the jackrabbits raised the white flag.
Of course GEN Flynn gets that. He was DIA Director and briefed for Natl Sec Advisor. We would not know if tactical Nucs or MRBMs had been placed in Ukraine. At least, we shouldn’t unless OPSEC fails.
And factor in cruise missiles and such Ukraine isn’t needed to strike the Ruskies.
Is there a difference anymore? Hypersonic missiles are so fast and dual use that by the time they figured out what the warhead is…it would be too late.
We have no business in Ukraine. Except Hunter’s business. That’s not enough to go to war over.
