Russia is in for a rough time.

So the bulk of Russian forces are 90 miles away, and Ukraine just received American air superiority fighters.

Whether or not the goal is to give Russia the dilemma of moving cautiously so they don’t destroy their oil distribution hub at the cost of a grind against defensive positions, or the fast approach of bombing it all and losing the hub, the Ukrainians are gonna take the opportunity to trounce Russian jets that engage and materiel that’s moving through exposed highways.

It’s a fine trap.
