Doubtful. First, it is NOT a 40-mile-long convoy, it was 3.5 miles long when parked two days ago. L. Coyote Mar 2022 #45

Washington Post says it's 40 miles long left-of-center2012 Mar 2022 #68

They are wrong. This started with a bad translation of "40 miles from" Kyiv, L. Coyote Mar 2022 #84

From a military standpoint, nothing is making any sense. Irish_Dem Mar 2022 #34

I read an article in the past week (forget where) leftieNanner Mar 2022 #37

He should have had military intel telling him enemy capability, Irish_Dem Mar 2022 #50

I am always wondering this too. How is this so messed up? AllyCat Mar 2022 #69

You have the issue correctly. TomSlick Mar 2022 #76

my emotions are all over the place Piasladic Mar 2022 #39

Because Putin was delusional enough to believe they WANTED him there. oldsoftie Mar 2022 #52

Didn't he listen to his military intel? The man is acting psychotic. Irish_Dem Mar 2022 #62

Quite possible that they wouldn't tell him what they knew he didn't want to hear. oldsoftie Mar 2022 #64

Same thing Hitler did and we know how that ended. Irish_Dem Mar 2022 #67

HA! oldsoftie Mar 2022 #72

They had Ukraine nearly surrounded Warpy Mar 2022 #71

Yes it was a very shoddy military action. Irish_Dem Mar 2022 #88

They can't overcome the initial screwup, that of invading in the first place. Warpy Mar 2022 #93

At this point, I cannot predict what will happen. Too many moving parts Irish_Dem Mar 2022 #94

YEEEEESSSSS!!! calimary Mar 2022 #96

It would have been a wholesale slaughter of Russian troops. Irish_Dem Mar 2022 #61
