Interesting....I noticed that the Colonel did some explanation of the weapons capability of the other nations and was very careful in divulging our weapons systems. It was artfully done. I am aware of some of the capabilities of both our NATO allies and some of the capabilities and weapon systems of both China and Russia. Although I am not an expert, nor do I have any secret back channel of military intelligence, I do have 30 years in the DoD. My area of expertise is outside of offensive weaponry. All that being said, I am somewhat of a weapons fanatic and have a fairly extensive knowledge of both religious and military history. This gives me some leanings in what I am ready to believe and what I find difficult to swallow. Russia has extensive knowledge of both the topography and the capability of the Ukrainian forces. They have an extensive knowledge of most of our weapon systems and capabilitie as well as our NATO allies. The FSB is on par with our CIA, dare I say, perhaps less evil, but extremely profficient in covert intelligence gathering. Whatever Putin appears to be doing, you can be fairly certain that it is what he wants us to believe. Putin is former intelligence and is very intelligent and capable. If the media portrays him as a fool that is out of his depth, you can be certain that the media is peddling propaganda. I know that some of our members believe the information put out by the media and many strategic and tactical "experts" via social media, and I mean them no disrespect in their choice to believe these things, I tend to listen to both sides and not believe either one. The truth is generally somewhere in between, however I believe that Ukraine has already lost and the Russians are actually draining the weapons and financial inventories of both NATO allies and the US. At the same time, they will be gathering first hand intelligence of our technical weapon systems and capturing examples for study. Putin has successfully mired us in a tar baby that is draining the US military of its tools. God forbid that we hyper extend and end up with an insufficient inventory to effectively defend our own borders.
