It must be nice starting yet another world conflict from the comfort of a leather chair, in a bank in New York...

"Go on my little goyim, go spill your blood so we can invest in a free Ukraine!"

I won't criticize the Pentagon. They're taking orders from higher up who's waiting for Russia to escalate in order to respond. The ballistic missile strike on Dnipro is a new devlopment: "This could have been a strategic nuclear strike, but it's a Russian PR statement instead". I wonder what South Korea is waiting for, Kim getting proper ICBM tech from Russia?

The Pentagon made a number of flawed assessments, each one upended by Ukraine's determined actions.

And let's use some Feynman-style common sense: taking out airfields, ammunition depots, and logistics WILL help Ukraine's defense immensely.

I would go further and question which clowns are running the show in the Pentagon, but maybe I should keep my cool over that matter.

They’re not incompetent. But they do serve at the pleasure of the President. That makes their public communications political.

> Even the pentagons own assessments say this won’t make much difference

I mean yes, it’s also what the press secretary has been saying. They’ve been wrong at every step to date because Biden has been wrong about this.
