   Just throwing this out there, but if Russia really believes that (and I am sure they do, and that they're right) why wouldn't they take out the Francis Scott Key bridge as a special lesson that there are some people that you do not fuck with?

     @thefinn The West is no longer capable of fighting a sustained peer level war.
     
     This is a problem, because it encourages escalation to nuclear threats rapidly, especially because they know now they will lose in a war of attrition

     @judgedread @brokenshakles At a certain point they will run out of any escalatory options aside from nukes. Russia has destroyed Ukie AD to the point where they essentially have air supremancy and are bombing at will. There are no more systems to be sent that can replenish this deficit (the Patriot batteries are useless against hypersonics are are essentially expensive multimillion dollar targets for the RF to live-fire practice on). F-16s will simply get shot down (Russia already wiped out the Lvov airbase they were supposed to be parked at a few days ago). All artillery that could be provided has been; also gone. NATO and the West simply can't keep up with Russian industrial production of shells.
     
     When that point is reached you will either see a coup and disposal of the kike cokehead comedian or a total capitulation where the Ukies withdraw behind the Dneipr river and cede whatever territory Russia wants. They may fight strongly to attempt to retain Odessa; this is why Macron is babbling about "NATO peacekeepers" specifically in that city.

     @TrevorGoodchild @judgedread @brokenshakles The thing that got me, was hearing that ammunition stockpiles were depleted in the west.
     
     I mean this is a tiny conflict, what good are they going to be in a war?

     @judgedread The only thing I have ever seen from GAE is compulsive doubling-down, so this would be a departure.

     @brokenshakles They gave up in Iraq and Afghanistan.

     China was involved in this.

     @judgedread I suspect as much too, but I'm thinking that a followup will be forthcoming. Different type of attack though.

     @brokenshakles Depends whether the US regime learns their lesson.
     
     Some quality backpedaling on Ukraine will signal that they got the message.

     @Steve_S6 My scenario is that Russia has many potential operations in sleeper mode at any given time. The outrage of the US and Ukraine sponsoring the Moscow attack triggered a decision that whichever plan could be carried out soonest would be activated.

     @judgedread @Steve_S6 That's pretty standard for any Nation with an intelligence service (if they are competent), so we are now at the direct spy wars phase of conflict.
     
     I expect China to get a shot in soon too. Anyone want to take odds on the sabotage type?

     @judgedread @TrevorGoodchild 1. Russians are patient with lonnng memories.
     2. Putin said they would punish those that gave the orders. I don't think the bridge or anyone in Baltimore gave the orders.
     3. I'm guessing death will be involved in the retribution. Tit for tat.
     4. Not to say that Russia didn't do it, but it would be for something else, not for Crocus.
     
     I'd be more inclined to think one of our own spook agencies did it. Have to look at who benefits, and I bet Deep State will.

     @TrevorGoodchild @judgedread @brokenshakles what Ukraine has done worst of all is destroy the image of American equipment. It means that client states can no longer think "well, if I get in deep shit, the americans can ship in some stuff and I'm safe"
