#3 They had great success in Afghanistan and Iraq under similar circumstances, right?

Under US/NATO commanders, with secure communications.

Their top general is essentially a cop, and a lot of Ukrainian volunteer battalion leaders believe that Ukrainian communications are hopelessly compromised.

#4 Iff Darth Vlad = Russia think this is "provocative", wait until ... ...

* MANILA BULLETIN > POLAND TO BUILD MISSLE DEFENSE WID US.

In Moscow's mind, ARTIC read = POLAND = UKRAINE = BALTICS = GERMANY.

* FYI GROONG > [Moscow Times] NO IRAN DEAL [S-300's] ON HORIZON FOR RUSSIA.

IRAN = INDIA = any traditional or routine probs as per delivery by Russia andor weapon performance, etc. = Iran to turn to the US-EU for substitute???
