I think it goes deeper than that. Ukraine is not attacking Russia. These Russians are not fighting for their homeland. They are thousands of miles from their homes. These Russians are not fighting to save their families back home from the hordes of marauding Ukrainians. Instead, these Russians are attacking people they see as kindred Russians. I don’t think the average Russian soldier has much interest in laying down his life to take extra Ukrainian territory for Putin. Put those same soldiers in a position where they’re fighting for Moscow they will rip your head off, but I think they just want to figure out a way to live through this. On the other hand the average Ukrainian, is fighting for his life his family’s life his way of life and every person he’s ever known or cared about. This isn’t Syria. They aren’t fighting ISIS. These guys are armed about as well as Russians and they are trained about as well as the Russians. This is going to be ugly and we haven’t even begun the part where you go door to door in a hostile booby trapped city.

See the American Revolution, Vietnam War, and the Soviet-Afghan War as just three examples of an underdog army successfully defending their homeland against a Superpower.

None of these ended quickly.

Something just came into my mind right now. IF those Muslims commit war crimes THAT will unite Nato and who knows who else to come to their defense. I would suggest to the little war criminal that he better give them orders to not overdo their presence in Ukraine by committing any war crimes. There's a video of a tank rolling over a civilian car already and that will not be seen as "fair" fighting especially against civilians.

I was in the mindset that no one would come to the Ukrainians aid but if Schiff like that continues the worlds public will see a need to interfere.

I just scanned the entire list of those found guilty of war crimes in history. It’s very short and of course the holocaust is the vast majority. Probably takes a ridiculous amount of evidence to prove guilt.

Whoever was commanding that tank unfortunately has only the war itself to worry about is my guess.

It generally takes losing, too.

With any luck the guy commanding that tank will meet a Javelin tonight.

A lovely thought, lets hope so! While we're wishing, I hope it gets captured on film and shared with the world as well.
