    Russia is blindly lobbing inaccurate Soviet-era missiles

    Artillery is not an exact science, if you believe the crap of surgical hit, you are very naive. Sure there are progress but you can still have 100m of error rate.

    this poll reflects that.

    What is the sample? And even though, is not much because of russian attack than getting access to this crazy Schenghen space.

    Now, maybe the EU expects to sell one of these nice locking down Marshall Plan - at the expense of Ukrainians -when the war will end if Russia looses/gives up. But EU being amorphous I can only see US being the biggest beneficiary here.

    As a forced European, I do see that we will get hit pretty hard.

      This wasn’t 100m of inaccuracy. Russia shot artillery into Kyiv, into civilian residential areas. They shot into an area with a shopping mall, then lied about it being “nearly empty”.

      What is the sample?

      If you’ll refer to my initial comment, I was expressing some doubt about this. I’m guessing the Donbass and Crimea were not included.
