• If the Ukraine offensive campaign fails

    it will be on Joe for two big blunders.

    "Almost every attacking force from the Second World War onwards has succeeded only with air superiority or supremacy."
    ...
    "we have seen a far less determined response from many countries than this crisis called for. Kyiv could be fielding far more Leopard tanks now if Berlin had not obstructed their deployment, and it would even be possible to have F-16s in the skies if
    the decision to supply them – still not yet made – had been taken in Washington a year ago."

    No tanks and no planes from the US. Ukraine may own the night with superior night vision but they won't own the sky and that may turn out to be critical.
