“Whether you like it, or not, history is on our side. We will bury you,” he said quoting former USSR leader Nikita Khrushchev.

Russian politician Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday Russia could have a right to go to war with NATO.

    Total posturing. A few hundred of these would end the war overnight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158_JASSM

    These aren’t even classified. Poland and Finland have them, today.

    Ukraine is keeping Russia in check with cardboard launched grenades. It’s pretty amazing, honestly; both how innovative Ukraine has been under duress with almost nothing, and how bad Russia has performed in this mess they’ve dumped themselves in.

    A few too many toes over NATO lines would decapitate the Kremlin, probably before anything could be done in response.

      I have been highly impressed with the Ukrainian spirit and ingenuity.

      I have also been surprised at what a cluster fuck Russia has been on the battlefield. I expected them to perform better than they did. It shows how much they have declined from being a super power.

      The only issue I have is Russia has nukes and Putin is dumb enough to use them.
