This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

The PDA authorization is the fourteenth drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine that the Biden Administration has authorized since August 2021. Capabilities in this package include:

• Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS).

Under USAI, the DoD will provide Ukraine with critical capabilities to defend against Russian aggression. Included in this package are:

• Two National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
• Up to 150,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition; and
• Four additional counter-artillery radars.

Unlike Presidential Drawdown, USAI is an authority under which the United States procures capabilities from industry rather than delivering equipment that is drawn down from DoD stocks. This announcement represents the beginning of a contracting process to provide additional capabilities to Ukraine's Armed Forces.

Good grief...neither of which were in my posts.

"as a nation" is in your post.
During (and long before) the Opium Wars, China was a conglomeration of kingdoms.
Now, you're off and running with "as a civilization".

Good grief.

Strikes like this may eventually cause Russia to launch a punitive attack on something in NATO.

Liar, liar pants on fire! We will see if they use this as the excuse to attack Ukraine. (If this is real.)

This may be another attack on Kherson airport.

May still be a ploy to keep Ukraine forces in the North but if this happens I hope someone like Poland comes into the war.
