@2×4:
those hummers, we want them back!
Maybe they’ll exchange them for Prius’s?

@2×4:
I don’t expect brass balls, but at least belgian chocolate ones
Hmmmm, good point. M&M’s wouldn’t do, too American. Or, hey, how about this (depressing) variation:
NATO IS STILL (UN)DEAD!

@RAH:
Now when they start to unload
Actually, Aegis thingamajigs (sorry, boat floaters) ar more a forward position fire station kind of buggy, no? Just sitting there they effectively control the air for what, 50 miles around?

Hopefully we have–or will soon have–lots of commercial tubs unloading massive quantities of men [heck, and goilsz too], and materials in Batumi, just a few miles South of Poti [BTW, Russia's #2 naval station on the Black Sea, not so long ago]. With the Aegis thingies outside of Poti, we cover the first section of the rail route that then goes all the way through Gori and Tbilisi to Armenia and to Baku.

The thing to watch for now might be Russkies yielding at their checkpoints along that rail corridor. THAT would be a draw down (er, retreat?).
