Oh man. Just think of all the things that could have been done to entrap the Russians after they invaded. Blow up roads fore and aft in the columns. Flood the adjacent fields so no vehicle goes off road. A shooting gallery-make them walk home.
It is still a shooting gallery. Did you see on MSNBC and CNN the 40 mile long convoy of vehicles ready to enter Kiev? If there was one good Combat Support aircraft in all of the Eastern theater, they could LITERALLY decimate the Russian forces. Find a good Ukrainian pilot who is still alive, or tell one of ours to join their forces, and give him the plane.
What a maroon Biden is. And yes, I know doing that would get us in trouble with a nuclear power.
Yep. The Ukraine wasn’t ready. They had weeks to prepare. It would have been prudent, even if it was believed that Russia wouldn’t attack
OTOH the Taiwanese are much more foresighted.
