By taking over delivery logistics?", ">\n\nIf bullshit won wars...", ">\n\nLet’s see you try", ">\n\nLike they haven’t been trying and failing to do that the entire time.", ">\n\nI'd they planned to do it, they wouldn't warn everyone in advance.", ">\n\nWhat they gonna do, invade?", ">\n\nLavrov you sick Hound Dog you. Good luck with that. The arms manufacturing capacity of the west is second to none! Mr. Ugly can take out 10% of the arms shipments to Ukraine and Russia will still lose 🤣", ">\n\nIs this their 1st plan?", ">\n\nRussia ruined the latest season of Jack Ryan for me, after having seen them in actual action the idea of them conquering Poland and the other former Eastern Block countries seemed silly.", ">\n\nThe best laid plans of mice and men…", ">\n\nNot only that, but if I remember in the early 2000s they were bragging about building their own version of GPS and how it would be built into the military. 20 years later, and a whole lot of corruption and it seems that this too was a fanciful dream.", ">\n\nYou and what army?", ">\n\nHim saying that line's up with Ukrainian reports. Of another assault from Belarus that would mean they know Russia. Will be going for the supply lines from Poland so all this makes perfect sense.", ">\n\nYeah, them and what army?", ">\n\nRussia and what army?", ">\n\nWhat is hilarious is that the US is hoping they try harder here. They want to see their go-to strategies. The logistics from this war alone is worth trillions to the US. Russia is in a lose/lose scenario. Their only hope is to terrorize Ukraine by destroying infrastructure to make the cost of the war more expensive to their allies. Which is sick when you think of them wanting to kill as many civilians as possible without nukes....what if that does not work? :/", ">\n\nI am planning to stop smoking lights up the cigarette", ">\n\nGee, it'd be a damn shame if the drone shipments from Iran... didn't make it to you...", ">\n\nIm so tired of this posturing, we need to finally escalate this shit or give Ukraine everything they need to send russia into full retreat and strike Moscow a couple times. Need to show that they don't get a free pass to attack Kyiv while their capital stays safe.", ">\n\nWith what?", ">\n\nWon’t happen unless Biden falls out of a third story hotel window.", ">\n\nYeah doesn't it make you wonder how much russian money is influencing American politicians. Because a lot of them are making people believe America is sending ukraine cash to spend at their discretion." ]
