And this is where we fundamentally disagree.Ukraine is at least willing to use what we send to fight - a lot better choice than all the losers we've been supporting.
Well for 1 once WWlll starts all our equipment will already be over there
Exactly.....which might prove troublesome when the tanks/armor come from China on our western seaboard. And we blew our wad and all our wire guided ordinance on cold war scraps in Ukraine. China currently doesn't even have to invade. As Canada has already more or less given them keys to their western ports. And Trudeau is absolutely in love with Chinese Communism.

Can you just imagine for a moment. I know it sounds crazy and far fetched. But imagine a situation where our Administration and much of our military is compromised by Chinese intelligence and bribes. We realize to late the trap is laid, and while Americans who are patriotic might retake our military back, by that time we have the largest military in the world with armor every bit as advanced as ours rolling down interstates and all our older arsenal of AT infantry devices were long since sent to Ukraine.....I know crazy right? Someone's playing Chess, and someone's playing checkers, and Biden can't manage tick tack toe.
GRU are there. There aren't enough t14s to matter. You've been speaking with incredible conviction about pure conjecture, fanciful at that
I have spoken to people I trust who know a great deal more then I on the matter, and have experience invading countries. Both with planning and being first in From the start their points were it was weird to see the ancient hardware and not elite tier units being thrown in, and that it was clear to them Russia was not comitting it's best or even sub best units. They also questioned the targets, and the reasons why the power grid and other customary targets were not being targeted. Some of that might have been just been the difference between their goals and ours when going in. But they're people I trust, and they have experience I trust. Some of them know far more about the Soviet states and players then most people the news bills as "experts". Now that's just my word on that, and my take, you don't have to take it, but it's more then enough for me to be suspicious about what we're being told vs what is happening. It's not so much my conviction as it is my trust and experience with those individuals.
T72s make up the bulk of russian tanks. Theyve also used quite a few t80s and t90s in this conflict. They really dont have that many armatas, and opted to refit older tanks. It would be like seeing f15s over Iraq years ago and asking why we weren't sending waves on waves of raptors.I have spoken to people I trust who know a great deal more then I on the matter, and have experience invading countries.

By the end of this war thats all Russia will have since the rest of their tanks will be oxidizing in Ukrainian mud. But that is assuming Russia can actually finish the R&D on the 14s.
