Summary
22nd Mechanized Brigade in training. 22nd and 88th Mechanized Brigades have marched nearly 10 miles into southern Russia. It’s an impressive feat for an army that has been on the defensive for a whole year.
If the Russian military doesn't stop the flow of refugees to the West, they will be forced to send them back to their homelands. If the U.S. military doesn’t stop the stream of refugees, the flow will continue.
The U.S. military is in the middle of a major offensive against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. The U.K. military has been in the midst of a massive offensive against ISIS.
Time will tell. Maybe, with a bold and risky attack, the Ukrainians are turning the tide of the war along one front. Or maybe they’re throwing away what few spare troops they have on a doomed border raid.
