#3 In the age of smart bombs, some have forgotten: you win wars by killing in large numbers. Patton knew it:

"When a man is lying in a shell hole, if he just stays there all day, a German will get to him eventually. The hell with that idea. The hell with just sitting back and taking it! My men don't dig foxholes. I don't want them to. Foxholes only slow up an offensive. Keep moving. And don't give the enemy time to dig one either. We'll win this war, but we'll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we've got more guts than they have; or ever will have. We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we're going to rip out their living Goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun cocksuckers by the bushel-fucking-basket!

War is a bloody, killing business. You've got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours! Rip them up the belly. Shoot them in the guts. When shells are hitting all around you and you wipe the dirt off your face and realize that instead of dirt it's the blood and guts of what once was your best friend beside you, you'll know what to do!"

#5 Good timing > KOMMERSANT - besides telling/warning the Brits to "change thier minds" on the current diplomatic row, PUTIN also says the now junked CFE Treaty was not based in reality. Article > Putin reportedly claims US-Western antagonism agz Russia is proven by the fact that nearly all of post-Cold War eastern Europe has joined NATO. HOWEVER, Putin IMO subtleldy hints at Russia's right to expand its military influences-options in the post-Cold War post-CFE Baltics + East Europe [vv proposed GMD missle bases in Eastern Euro, etc.] due to many of these smaller Nations-States not "ratifying" the CFE either.
