    I see victims of communism accountants have a new job. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Pentagon numbers might be more accurate than your propaganda:

    But, of the assessed available combat power that they had available to them before the invasion, that they had arrayed against Ukraine for this purpose, of the total assessed combat power that they had, we estimate that they are between 80 and 85 percent of what they had.

    And it depends on, you know, that goes up or down depending on what individual factor you’re looking at. Tanks, fighter aircraft, missile inventory, troops, I mean, but the aggregate tells us that they are under 85 percent of their assessed available combat power when they started this invasion.

          Did you hear about asymmetrical war? Guerilla? when civil are used as shield?

          Yes, but the Ukrainian forces have not been doing that so far.
