That's an understatement.. The first phase of the month long air campaign they focused mainly on Iraqi IADS, command & control, military, logistical and air force targets throughout Iraq. Iraq never stood a chance to defend either itself or Kuwait after the initial air war decimation.
I hope the US / NATO keeps out of this, it is getting scary. We don't want World War 3 over Ukraine, neither does Russia I hope.
According to the BBC, Putin said this in his speech last night; "You didn't want us to be friends," was how he put it to the West, "but you didn't have to make an enemy of us."
There is some thruth in this. Western politicians and media has done much to sour relations with Russia in the last decade.
