I believe it was Napoleon who said, “God favors the side with the best artillery.”

The feint was actually a very losing proposition. It failed.

Many of the U troops can now be moved east

“I don’t know if Russia ever wanted to take Kiev. The one thing I still haven’t seen reported is the military losses of the Ukraine. It has been a total blackout from day one. We get daily reports of Ukrainian soldiers taking out a single Russian tank but nothing on Ukrainian losses.”

I noticed that from the first week.

“I don’t like either side in this war of corrupt governments. I wonder which country is blackmailing pedoJoe on any given day. Both countries and China have much dirt on our decrepit old diddler and his scumbag son.”

Yes. But Putin invaded. I figure he’s in cahoots with Biden.

“No. Ukraine is not winning. Other than that we know nothing of the conflict other than there is one. No source of information is reliable. Almost all are conjecture or prpaganda. The few rest cannot be descried.”

Yes. There is a dearth of any real information.

Whenever this ends, Russia will be the victor, regardless of the cost to their forces. If Putin thinks it’s necessary to employ tactical nukes in Ukraine to prevail, he will. If he does, not response by the West other than words from the chattering class, as he will threaten more escalation. His nuke threats are his ticket to take the Baltics, Poland or any other former Warsaw Pact territory. If the Ukrainians persist in their resistance, he’ll nuke them to end it much as we did to Japan in WWII.

They will never use even a small nuke to win this war. If they did, they would indeed be a pariah nation, even to China and India. Only if they had a nuke attack against them or an imminent general invasion of “The Rodina” would they cross that threshold. This will hopefully end soon, and the Easter Bunny will whisper in Bidone’s ear to stop pissing away American money and take care of things at home.
