Too late. Once Russia commits the necessary resources its game over.

There's a gulf between where we are now and "game over". If the Ukranians continue to dig in in the cities and keep the will to fight, this will be a long, drawn out, bloody insurgency of urban warfare.

But still, this convoy is what, hours away from Kyiv?

The heads of state of the EU and all else involved really can’t sacrifice one night of sleep to get this motherfricker approved?

EU doesn't want to be responsible for getting a raped and pillaged Ukraine back on her feet.

So what’s the possible game plan here for the Ukrainians knowing that convoy is headed their way? Do they sit there dig in and wait for it or attack it at a place of their choosing? with the way they are packed together I’d think you’d hit it in an area not easy to maneuver in to make advancing difficult and escaping a nightmare.

I know that, but for all the problems of the EU, Ukraine will need money to continue to fight. If Zelensky is killed, there becomes a leadership crisis, and a Russian-installed puppet will likely ask to revoke the application and align Ukraine’s economy with the proposed Russian-led common market.

I love Poland. What makes them lethal militarily is they have a sense of national pride unmatched in Europe. There wouldn’t be any need for propaganda showing grandmas with
kalashnikovs in Poland.

This is a good article by David Petraeus comparing Iraq and the Ukraine.

Poland helped start the downfall of the Soviet Union in 1983 with the Solidarity movement.

It'll be drawn out, sure. Doesn't change the end result.

I didn't say that it did. I only said that your assertion of "game over" was incorrect.

ETA: And the drawn out, bloody insurgency part will likely be the most difficult aspect for Putin to navigate back home, particularly after he's bankrupted his entire country.

Putin will threaten the countries "aiding the terrorists," but this time nobody will be intimidated. If he attacks one of them he'll trigger Article 5 then it's game on.

That one is dead I believe. This one is the puppy, since they abandoned the other one. That Twitter account is a clown show and an animal abuse supporter.
