work in ukraine but the tanks we have here in the us are big and heavy and the sink in the ground and eat up a lot of gas. the ukrainians can t meet ten them so he doesn t make sense. the pentagon doesn t want to send them for those reasons. while that is happening on the ukrainian side on the russian side another change in military command. i think it is a second in three months or something along those lines. what difference will this new general would make to the conflict? nothing. that is the headline. this structure at the top is still confused. to give you one summary. there was a big fight within the russian mod and paramilitary groups in russia and the mod comes out on top. so this new general has been put at the top again and he has three generals underneath him but it is not expected to make any difference on the battlefield. thank
