We didnt need to spend billions. All that money is doing is getting channeled to the point where some of it ends up in the back pocket of Liz Cheneys fat ass.

Money has little to do with how well Russia is fairing. We could have sent zero dollars, ensured they had certain weaponry, and kept the price of oil to a minimum, and THAT would have been enough to cause Russia enormous issues.

If history is any indicator, when it comes to logistics, Russia could f*ck up a one car funeral. So its no wonder they continually have issues with a certain number of their troops getting stranded with no fuel or food, and no backup. I think I said this way back at the start of this thread; if this conflict goes on for more than two weeks, Russia is essentially in a quagmire. Because when any of their prior conflicts lasted longer than that, it ends up in a quagmire, because it forces them to be competent at something they arent; logistics.
