    We can add this to the extensive list of times that we’ve assumed Russia’s military capabilities only for them to turn out to be wet farts.

      What actually turned out to have the capabilities of wet farts were all the fabled NATO weapons that were sent to Ukraine. Every game wunderwaffe that was supposed to turn the war right around turned out to be a dud in the end.

        It’s a proxy war with capabilities deliberately throttled on both sides. This is why we all are still alive yet. Let’ hope NATO has the brains to accept its loss gracefully. Or, at least, not escalate beyond limited tactical nuclear exchange.
