January! Mq you are a genius. Sure enough, you were right, it was a trap and now another $40 billion is ready to be split up among DementiaJoe10%, Hunter, Lindsay, Mitch, Nancy and swarms of hangers on, with piles of lovely loot going to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and co. Russia is getting tanks destroyed galore in a giant turkey shoot.

I do wonder whether it's a trap like Saddam fell into after April Glaspie told him the USA would leave locals to sort things out. Then after he gobbled up Kuwait, they told him they changed their minds. Oooppps a daisy. By then he felt committed and refused to retreat.

George I stopped the Desert Storm attack at the border, leaving Saddam in charge. But George II made up lies about WMD and launched a full scale attack.

Looks like a trap to me.

USA is a bit short on wars just now so the military industrial complex would like a contained conflict for testing and cash flow.

Bear baiting is a bad idea even if the bear seems tied up and cornered. Apart from cruelty, it's dangerous.


Putin should have hired you for advice. I suppose like Saddam he over-rated his soldiers whose hearts weren't really in it though I guess Russians were more committed than Iraqis who wanted nothing more than easy cash and were definitely not going to die in the attempt to defend Saddam. Like Italians in WWII they surrendered by the acre as soon as they got a chance, or ran away in their underwear.
