Watched the podcast, thanks for the link. Chilling but expected.

In WWII, Russian generals would send troops across mine fields, ahead of any armor. The general, when asked about it, said it was cheaper: One tank was far more valuable than a squad or two of men.

Yes, but this isn't WWII. The Ukies didn't invade Russia, and don't want to colonize all of Russia West of the Urals. The Ruskies invaded Ukraine. As the death total climbs and the wounded return to Russia without limbs, this war of aggression is becoming less popular there. When a certain limit is crossed, Russia will experience another civil war like during WWI.

My point is that Russia doesn’t place a very high premium on flesh and blood.

My point is that Russia doesn’t place a very high premium on flesh and blood.

Yes, and during WWI that resulted in the Bolshevik Revolution and the end of Imperial Russia and the Tsars. It could happen again.

[ought-six]

Yes, it could.

Why revitalize our military industrial complex only to ship it to Ukraine? Why not keep it here because we are going to need it after SloJoe emptied our war stockage as a grift to Ukraine in exchange for an under table payoff.

Europe is only revitalizing their war stockages like us because the morons are not any smarter than our government and gave Sweaterman everything he ask for.

You ever think this might be a hoodwink where Sweaterman and Putty are working in unison so the rest of world in defenseless?
