re: #134 Targetpractice

Surprise! The Russians are actually brilliant for not capturing Kyiv in 3 days. Turns out annexing and controlling all of Ukraine would have cost a fortune and Russia’s economy is SAVING a TON of MONEY by losing this war. Checkmate NATO!

Beau of the Internet made the point that the capture of Iraq cost the US fewer than 200 lives, but the ensuing occupation cost thousands.

And yes, even if Russia were to defeat the Ukrainian Army and topple the government, that does not mean that resistance would end there.
