"Putin says this battle in Ukraine is between Russia and NATO. Russia has lost 14,000 soldiers, 100 fighter planes, 100 helicopters, 500 tanks, 1,500 armored vehicles, 3 ships, 230 heavy guns and 6 generals. NATO hasn’t shown up yet."
If he thinks it is between NATO and Russia, then he should read one of my favorite books: "Red Storm Rising." by my favorite writer: Tom Clancy.
By the way, they lost that one too and they were the Soviet Union and had the help of the East German Army.
