"Russia didn't realize that Ukraine was already armed to the teeth" etc. etc. What happened to the GRU (or whatever they are called) and the FSB? They can't even plead a language barrier to their ineptness in espionage. We at least have the excuse that Russia as well as we expected their military to perform well, and were caught unawares when they flubbed everything. I expect our folks expected the Ukrainians to do well, after all we had been training them. Our offer to Zelensky of a ride out of town was predicated on our expectation that the Russians would be like the powerful Red Army of Cold War fame. The poor performance of the Russians this time around may have had something to do with their underestimation of the Ukrainian Army performance.
Bolton is an insane pit bull. This “walrus” would drown the whole world in blood and fire without ever seeing the folly of his neo-con ways!
