You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...

Of the two of us, only one of us works for NATO and worked alongside the AFU. Maybe you should be listening vs mishearing what I wrote

You seem to have reading comprehension issues.

- My anti-Russian street cred is clear.

- These aren’t absurd statements, they’re not even novel among those informed on AFU & NATO.

- Warning NATO nations not to get complacent is not pro-Russian.

Sorry. It’s true. AFU in Donbas was battle hardened, entrenched, ready for a fight. Not true of NATO forces.
This should be a call to action, not satisfaction that we’ll do better than AFU

Yes. But that advantage would take time to materialize during conflict - time that may not be available prior to Russian seizure of significant territory.

Integration is still harder in a close alliance than those same weapons within a single military.

Yes, the AFU in Donbas in spring of ‘22 was more prepared than Poland or Baltics are today.

Likewise in the air: I often hear Russian inability to gain air superiority over Ukraine evidenced as a sign of weakness, w/o understanding that Ukraine’s IADS was the best in Europe (minus Rus)

Putin has killed hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers for a small slice of Ukraine, the man is clearly not making rational cost/benefit decisions and Russia's neighbors are being rational to be alarmed by this

Dude. This is embarrassing.

Ha. I know that guy. 4-star NORAD Cdr
