Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

What I don't understand is why Putin waited so long for the invasion. I think maybe he didn't believe Trump could lose and was hoping the us would leave NATO in his second term.

Look at how a little statesmanship at the right time and some conciliatory actions have essentially brought all of Europe into a sense of mutual reliance and willingness to work together.

Now, think about how that could have gone horribly wrong into innuendo and backbiting about �what they did to our Ned� back in the day if there had been someone shoving sticks into the spokes.

It�s not a happy thought.

I think it was when he live tweeted threats at ethnically Ukrainian Alexander Vindmann during his testimony.

Remember that part of all that was when they pushed Vindmann out of his role as advisor on Ukraine and Russia matters and replaced him with Devin Nunes stooge/staffer and all around sketch guy Kash Patel?

Yeah, that seems even more fishy in hindsight. Like, what reason would you have to remove the expert from the analysis system unless you are looking to provide bunk analysis to reach pretextual conclusions?

On the other hand it might come in handy occasionally, like if your enemy with real weaponry is just moseying down the middle of the road in a tight pack and for some reason refuses to dive for cover in the tree line.

The best part is when you realize that even if China were to deliver these items to Russia that 80% of them would still be grifted away and sold on eBay.

Think of all the money you could make selling Chinese MREs on eBay to western war tourists?

In a situation like this, the use of a technical is shoot and scoot ambushes. (talking out of my rear end)

How would these supplies get to the front line? Overland by train through Russia? How big is the Russian cargo train capacity in that region? Wouldn't it take ages? Or by ship? Is it possible to sail from Shanghai for example all the way up north to ports in the western part of Russia? Though the supplies would still need to be transported south to Ukraine. Or deliver military goods directly to Crimea? But that would presumably not help the reportedly much more undersupplied northern front. Could the EE NATO states check train cargo going from Kaliningrad to the rest of Russia? Or would supplies need to be brought St. Petersburg, and then transported south through Belarus?

Any way I slice it, it seems like a logistics nightmare, but perhaps I'm overlooking something?

No no this is a very well thought out plan and will totally work like their other plans have so far (rail and road connections between China and Russia are very limited and would take forever to move any significant capacity, but may be beat available option).

They'd use some of that massive Russian airlift capacity.

Older armored vehicles that russia uses to move their troops around can still be at risk from russian 50 cal. As we've seen anything that can run being used, I'm willing to venture a technical like this is still useful in ambushes when you're not engaging tanks
