The Cost of Committing Genocide Is Going Up for Russia
Someone in Ukraine has taken a crash course in data analysis because the new approach is really hitting Russia where it hurts
Russia had a bad week — well, an expensive one. I like this new trick in the silk hat of the Ukrainian war planners. Fully understanding the lack of respect for human life in Russia as they do, especially in the Kremlin, someone in Kyiv seemingly watched Moneyball recently: Let’s use low-cost assets to take down high-cost ones.
Of course, this is not the exact Moneyball story, but you get my point — I hope. By using tricks, decoys, homemade drones, and being very careful not to shoot until they see the whites of their eyes or the blinking of the air defense battery, Ukraine has been blowing a lot of s*** up! It’s been fun to watch, and I am confident that it has left Russia’s Pillsbury doughboy, Sergei Shoigu, scratching more than just his head.
Left so speechless by what’s been going on in Ukraine, Shoigu was asked a very odd question by a Russian TV news reporter, “Will we win?”
