> Well, it hasn't played well, has it? The first shipments of weapons landed in Ukraine, and more are to follow, together with training teams. The only thing that Putin gained by his threats is more firepower in Ukraine.
I think it's going to play very well in the hands of Putin in the end. The more equipment lands the more he will capture. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Georgian_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Georgian_War the "Equipment losses and cost". I remember them making a big spectacle of driving the captured American Humvees. Here one such segment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcH02Z4DYO8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcH02Z4DYO8
Now don't get me wrong, I am not on Putin's side. I want Ukraine to stay independent and want it to win. I just don't see it easily happening and am starting to see the same thing as with the Georgian war happening again.
