March 17, 20223 yr Geeeeeet'em! In all seriousness... the incompetence is probably so pervasive throughout the entirety of the Russian military apparatus that you could tactically insert US forces all over Uraine to conduct special operations and Russia would be completely oblivious to it happening.

The 68m explorer vessel M/Y Ragnar has been denied fuel by providers in Norway. The yacht is currently moored up in Narvik, alongside a US navy cargo vessel with connections to the NATO exercise cold response.
March 17, 20223 yr Everything is going according to plan, including the sacking of various FSB agents, this deputy director, and the deaths of half dozen or more high level military leaders during the invasion at the hands of the Ukrainians being "liberated". That about right @Abracadabra?
