This is true, but the Ukraine can’t stop Russia from hitting the infrastructure now and it sure couldn’t have in March either. ‘Winning the peace’ is hard enough, especially against irregulars/insurgents, but with our ROEs it’s virtually impossible. But it dawned on me in ‘04 that winning wasn’t the goal, just protracted war for MIC enrichment.
Total war is how wars are won, unfortunately. America is a case study in the failure of ‘sanitized combat’. War should always be the last resort.
“It is well that war is so terrible — lest we should grow too fond of it.” - Robert E. Lee.
80 thousand troops from the partial mobilization have arrived already and 200 thousand more are on the way.
The time to report to the negotiating table is running short and things like shooting at bridges and grain corridors are making Russia less compromising.
Kiev can hit Moscow sooner than you can sing Putin on the Ritz.
