    It is an example of how sophisticated strategists think.

    Russia has established energy dependence over western Europe. Russia has created a "safe space" for its invasion by using inexpensive Russian fuels to create dependency. So today Europeans talk but take no effective actions.

    Further, Russia is using fertilizer and food as weapons, reducing allocations to western European countries whose leaders attack Russia.

    At the same time Russian troops are using artillery as the Russians have always used artillery, to destroy the Ukrainian forces. You claim strategic and tactical incompetence. You are clearly wrong on strategy. As for tactics, what the Russians are doing is working for them. They are winning.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Which western European country is willing to use nuclear weapons in defense of Ukraine?

    They have to rely on an artillery duel because they never bothered to learn combine arms doctrine. Their ground attack forces failed to break the Ukraine lines in Donbas.

    It is easy to believe there is only one right way to win a war, the American way. Keep in mind the Russians are winning.
