I'm currently thinking that the problem is the West did not take Putin seriously as a true threat for years. Now it is a proven fact - crash davis 😺 Sep 16, 07:36 4
- To be more specific, things like howitzer rounds. NATO didn't have the massive inventory because its always assumed - crash davis 😺 Sep 16, 07:42 3
  - Ukraine lacks air superiority because they didn't have much of an air force. And Russia still doesn't control the skies. - TWuG Sep 16, 08:19 2
    - Russia's air conduct reminds me of what a US Air Force general said after Desert Storm. - crash davis 😺 Sep 16, 08:38 1
      - Yeah, I suspect Russia trained their pilots to fly and pull triggers, but they had little to no leadership as to how to use an air force. -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 16, 09:32
We are bleeding Russia just like we did in the 80’s. If we give enough to win the war, we risk Putin doing something stupid - Will Hunting Sep 16, 07:36
