The fact that it is the wisdom just goes to explain the statement. If you asked most military leadership since the 50s if Russia would defend itself with nuclear weapons they would likely say yes. Hence our long history of studiously avoiding shooting at them. Flynn's statement was presented in a way that suggested it was Pro-Russian. My argument is that it isn't. It's simply re-stating a military truth that has been assumed to be correct for 70 years. Zelinski made a suggestion that NATO pre-emptively strike Russia in order to prevent a nuclear strike. If the assumed response to that action would itself be a nuclear strike, that seems pretty foolish. none of this claims that Flynn is actually correct. Flynn is an idiot and Russia isn’t being backed into a corner they are being backed into Russia. That is *extremely* well said, sir. |

Vice reported it coming from Ian Bremmer and the Eurasia Group via their newsletter. So, the truth is in there somewhere. Either the newsletter bit is a lie, Musk is lying, or Vice is wrong/ lying. Musk denied it. Let’s see what happens next. |

They seem to never have actual overhead cover.
The trenches actually will be effective though at disrupting the thunder run in humvees tactics the Ukrainians have been using. They do make a effective vehicle barrier. |

Even if you gifted Ukraine 10 armored divisions worth of metal, it'd be 3-6 months before most of it made it into the fight, providing bowsers and support elements were even available to stand up that much armor at all. |

I can certainly understand Zelensky asking for a First Strike against Russia. He and his family will not be around to find out how the NATO retaliation and subsequent tit for tat turned out. If someone with the legitimate capability and motivation was threatening to kill my family, I would strike first too. This is a very serious threat and we will be lucky to live through it. |
