Ok, seriously, Ukrainian reader. You are Ukraine, da? Ukraine is next to Russia. Ukraine must be cognoscente of this fact. So you're Ukraine and you're right next to Russia. We have established this fact, have we not, Comrade?
So how does Ukraine not have a top-notch, first-rate 'try and get a piece of this' military?
How do you not have a small, mobile land force composed of independent combat brigades designed to hold down advancing Russian forces while other brigades hit their flanks and then withdrawal only to start the process anew a few klicks down the road?
Why do you not have a home army? Partisans in every village. A rifle behind every blade of grass. Group captains with a closet full of explosives to detonate bridges?
Why did you not spend the last decade kissing up to America? Why not sent a battalion or two to Afghanistan?
Why not work with other countries that are, you know, next to Russia? Romania? Moldova? The Baltic states. Oh yeah, and Poland. Seems to be there's a bit of history between Jan and Ivan? Why not form a diplomatic block at the UN? How about military and intelligence cooperation?
Just some brain storming.
