re: #158 Shiplord Kirel: Fan of Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie
That’s a possible analysis. The real question is if he thinks he can grab a cookie from the jar while his patrons - both GOP & oligarch aren’t looking. That’s where things like the British plane loads of weapons and the movement of Swedish army troops to Gotland are important. He really can’t afford a mess like the Chechnya where they almost succeeded in stopping the Russian army (and blowing lots of tanks in the process) without anywhere near the capability of Ukraine’s military much less a modern western army.
