    One of the things he said was what I was guessing.

    Update: It looks like Ukraine's objective was to take control of rail lines.

    Now this is interesting ... My image is the best I can find online of the Russian rail network. Russian/Soviet military logistic doctrine has always been heavily dependent on rail lines. Cutting that particular line would threaten an offensive towards Kharkov.

    Why play Risk when there’s Ticket to Ride?

    For the record: Ticket to Ride is a much, much, much better game than Risk ;)

    When Sweden starts donating lethal aid, you *know* they're serious. They've become a serious partner to Ukraine, from money, to electrical systems to repair their grid, to APCs and 155 artillery shells and AMRAAM missiles for their air defense systems.. They even donated their only two AWACS type airborne command and control planes.

    Good for them! Welcome to NATO. They're also getting their arms budget over the 2% of GNP benchmark, and will be replacing the donated materiel with new systems.

    Apparently the Ukrainians hit a Russian column of trucks and killed 400 of 'em.

    Without context, that sounds like a really bad cocaine-fueled Brian Z. France idea shot down at a January ISC shareholders meeting in Daytona Beach.

    But in the old days if they made it to Charlotte, Humpy would have the Army land helicopters and take them out.
