Never underestimate your enemy.
“What else can you expect when we have the weakest, most feckless president in US history?”

Some of the equipment we have sent to them has already showed up on the black-market.
We’ll be sure to look you up if/when you are proven wrong, General.
“oligarchs”
Probably safe to assume that greed and power are behind it all.
The host name of “Feliks Dzerzhinsky” was a nice touch.
If it weren’t they’d be as determined to see freedom in their own countries.
