    Admit it, we all knew that it was bullshit. Even before they released footage of the ghost that just turned out to be from a video game.

      I mean, I - personally - had no idea what the Russian military was still capable of. And my media feed drowned out most people with a degree of expertise and credibility. So I looked at Ukraine as another US-style quagmire. Maybe even a Bay of Pigs situation.

      I'm still waiting to see how this all shakes out. But yeah, its looking a lot more like Iraq 2 than Operation Eagle Claw atm
