chris_gerribEvery once in a while, somebody comes up with a very good analogy which I have to point at.
This author is talking about the Ukraine war in light of the recent destruction of Russian strategic bombers. Quote:
"To put this all in perspective, remember that Russia set out in February of 2022 to duplicate the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. If OIF had gone like that, we would have been recommissioning M48 Pattons to use as mobile artillery pieces in the bogged-down fighting around Basra in 2006, when a surprise attack blows up half our B52s on the ground at Barksdale, AFB."
