No, I was told two days ago they are out, and the war is lost.

Seriously, this is going to get dangerously out of control.

Article from May of this year. You can assume their missile stocks are worse now than they were then.

“The strikes have damaged significant parts of Ukraine’s energy grid, prompting the nation’s energy ministry to announce it would halt exports of electricity to the EU starting Tuesday.”

It may very well be just about over. Russia can not hope match the wealth of its enemies as the UE hires, arms, and trains legion after legion of Ukrainian mercenaries.

“... more than half get shot down anyway”

So if Russian fires a hundred missiles and 50 of them destroy buildings and infrastructure, that’s a good thing? They also can fire 100 missiles a day for months if they so choose.

I’ve been following the Israeli air strikes in Syria and 50 percent of the bombs-missiles are knocked down by the Russian gear Syria has.

But the other 50 percent get through and both the Damascus and Homs international airports were taken out for a time by Israeli strikes.

Russia is making plenty of money to continue this for quite some time.
I prefer it would end tomorrow.
I would also prefer we take care of our country, instead of a country that isn’t even an ally.

no they can't ... they fired 83 yesterday, and only 28 today (less than one third of Monday's)

IF Russia could fire "100 missiles a day for months", they'd be doing it already, right?

btw why just missiles? why no bomber sorties? Guess Russia doesn't control the airspace ...

The question arises: is this just retaliation for the Ukrainians taking out that bridge to Crimea, or do the Russians have a larger plan? Do the Russians have a strategy to expand this war after losing ground last month?

If it is part of a larger plan, it aint gonna work.

That’s my concern, and that it propagates from one tactical to a response, then global.

Bad news for the EU. They are facing an unusually cold winter, like that one back in the fifties, when many Europeans froze to death.

Unfortunately, it is too late to do anything about it now...except maybe to emigrate by hopping a plane to Mexico, and walking across the Rio Grande into the good ole USA.
