Scenes not seen since WWII. Wow. Talk about a disconnect.
Old fashioned Murphy’s Law-——
Murphy’s Second Law: Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Murphy’s Third Law: Everything takes longer than you think it will.
Murphy’s Fourth Law: If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
(Putin could have picked up an old mass market paperback at a lawn sale with the wisdom).
Military Rule No.1: Every well thought out battle plan will be perfect until the first moment of actual battle at which time the plans are useless.
Excellent point. Soon the specific number of Russian tanks destroyed by American supplied Javelin missiles will become available. However given the number of American deaths from munitions made in Russia during Vietnam and Korea , won’t be shedding many tears.
