Ukraine, led by a man who rose to the occasion, is outflanking the Russians on the battlefield and diplomatically with Western Europe; this in spite of the fact that Motherfucker TACO is trying to give away the country to his master, Putin.
But there's one other element that hasn't been considered until I read about Operation Spiderweb, the Russian people. Although Ukrainians are fluent in Russian their accent gives them away almost immediately; it would be damn well impossible to set up the logistics of such an audacious move without assistance to move the infrastructure of the attack into hide locations until the plan was ready to be executed.
And the reason why the Russians may be more of an asset than we know? Because 70% of them are sick and fucking tired of that warped, demented, criminal midget and his war, his putting their sons through this meat grinder, and his bullshit and they want their country back.
That's my theory, time will tell.

(64,362 posts)but considering the goods had to be transported 2500 miles through enemy territory, I can't help but think Russians turned a blind eye to the drivers, etc.

(But then again, we were training the Ukrainians up until the beginning of the invasion).

from Russians who are tired of Putin.

(2,301 posts)They are showing courage and resilience, I just wish my country was doing the same. We are in no position to criticize their sacrifice when we are afraid to sacrifice not watching our favorite news show.

(2,393 posts)There has been significant evidence of internal Russian resistance that is aiding Ukraine for some time.
Hope it continues.
