    If the right people are trained and the training pyramids downward and outward, that's a LOT of highly-trained, qualified people.

    It failed in Vietnam because the people just didn't give a damn. They'd sell out or turn an run in a second. I'm not getting that vibe from Ukranians

    Not sure who did it, but it's a win.

    My guess would be a military unit operating as guerillas. IMO, this is exactly how Ukraine can win. I'm not seeing them taking on Russia in conventional battle and coming out ahead.

    This kind of sabotage is pure gold. It kills morale and any sense of security. Any time, any where. Psychologically exhausting.

    While I'm sure Biden will be caught off guard, I hope the Ukranians and other nearby NATO forces are prepared for Putin to retaliate with tactical nukes. It's looking more and more like that's what it's coming down to.
