re: #443 Dr Lizardo

Covert military assistance to a Ukrainian insurgency movement (like we did in Afghanistan) is a distinct possibility. Look at the bloody nose the Russians took at the hands of the mujahadeen. It could work again. Large conventional armies frequently find themselves bogged down by asymmetric warfare.

The problem is that the geography of Afghanistan favors insurgency far more than that of Ukraine. You can still hide in a mountain cave, but thermal imaging makes it far harder than it used to be to hide in the forest.
