The President of Ukraine has gone abroad to do a little shopping. Arms shopping. No, he's not at the Ukraine version of COOP, he's at the International Arms Expo in Abu Dahbi. Great place if you have lots of cash or lots of credit. Mr. Poroshenko has neither. But who knows whose blank checks he carries in his wallet. Maybe Euros or Swiss francs. Or maybe Argentinian pesos. What a laugh that would be.
He's looking primarily for some light weight munitions to help his troops put some 'hurt' on Russky armored vehicles which roll around the Donbass at will. Maybe a few shoulder fired armor piercing rockets would be nice, laser guided, or maybe some old, surplus fly-by-wire. They work, but need some gutsy troops to expose themselves, however briefly. Some state-of-the art night vision goggles always help, at least it boosts morale of the poor saps in the trenches.
His shopping cart is not full yet, but whatever he buys, it will soon be shaking up the unidentified, uniformed, Russyan -speaking "volunteers" who have crossed into Ukraine territory of late. They might be in for some surprises in the field. Mad Vlad will have to send more troops. Remember the Afghanis in 1980? Hmm. Short memory? No memory? Russky memory? Vodka memory? frozen memory?
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
