ReplyDeleteWhat!? They HAVE the means. They have a small border area with Russia already and could target positions and logistic supply lines. They just have been told not to so Russia does not have any legal reason to expand the war. Like they could do anything anyway, but that’s a different discussion.
ReplyDeleteYes they have the means. But ots souch noce to encourage your neighbor to do the dirty work so he will get clobbered instead of you when the counter strike comes.
ReplyDeleteThat way you can go home to your untouched Dacca and enjoy: heat, running water, good hot food and a soft clean bed without being disturbed by this silly little war.
