No walkover': Ukraine could extract high price for any Russian attack.ย Ukraine's armed forces are heavily outnumbered and outgunned by Russia's but could put up a level of resistance that would force Russian President Vladimir Putin to pay a price of many thousands of Russian lives for any new invasion.

…….What enemy??
The CCP, Wall Street, The US โญhamber Of โญommerce and โญorporate Ameriโญa bribed โญongress to write the laws that made it legal to screw over America and allow the greatest transfer of jobs, wealth and intellectual property in modern history to an avowed enemy, Communist China, making them the threat they are today.
……………………โญongress and โญorporate America are the real enemy!
Of course the MIC, DOD and Joint โญhief’s are OK with this. They just got trillions to pretend fight an enemy that โญongress and โญorporate America created.
