It’s almost as if the threat of long range missiles is scaring the shit out of Russia.

I hope NATO reply that if Russia turns Kiev into a melted spot, Moscow will follow. But to be fair it’s all ego saber rattling.

    I doubt that would help, unless you told Ukrainians to switch from bombing refineries to bombing distilleries at the same time.

      Genuinely, though, I wonder how centralized their vodka industry is. A few bombs could cause a fairly major crisis if as many people are alcoholic as rumoured.

        It’s probably better for Ukraine if alcoholism is still a societal problem in Russia. You don’t want to have to fight sober frontline soldiers.

          True, though it might be a temporary advantage to create an acute crisis at a key time. Something to keep in the back pocket maybe. NCD stuff.
