@GeneralClark I know how @Ukraine is standing their ground & pushing Russia back. We did it, #Virginia & 12 other British colonies fought & defeated the greatest military in the world. It took 8 years. Finally the French fleet bottled up Chesapeake Bay & Cornwallis surrendered.
In between however, many dark moments. Rode horses or marched, weapons were not so lethal. No threat of Armageddon. But we had help from France, our oldest ally, Poles who fought 4 freedom from Russia, Pulaski; Kovats(Hungarian),Von Steuben. For freedom, a new enlightenment idea.
Although there were no doomsday weapons then, bottling up the Chesapeake Bay, preventing British ships from getting reinforcements to Cornwallis was very much akin to closing the sky. The French closed the seas. @GeneralClark
