An exhibit of NATO military equipment in the Museum of Special Military Operation in Moscow keeps growing and growing!
All this paid for by US and EU taxpayers.
Enjoy the tour, Zeepers.

I love the In Our Times podcast series on BBC. I heartily recommend it to one and all. Offering a wide variety of panel discussions on science, literature, religion, and history, it’s available on the BBC Sounds app for free.
The most recent discussion is on Julian the Apostate, but the one before covers Napoleon’s “100 Days,” his last campaign from his return from Elba to his defeat at Waterloo and finally to his abdication and exile to St. Helena.
I mention it here because in hearing it I realized that NATO is a direct descendent of the Seventh Coalition, the alliance that came out of the Congress of Vienna. Finally the allies realized that the only way to take on Napoleon was a true unified strategy, since Napoleon had again and again demonstrated the ability to pick off the nominal allies if they attempted to match him individually.
A united US/European alliance is impossible for Putin to match, and funneling its materiel resources into Ukraine has and will continue to stymie his dreams of conquest.
