    Lol it’s still a gun stash. Why we Americans think a “gun stash” has to be a John Wick roomful of guns, ammo, and other weaponry to qualify as a “stash” is nuts.

      Same reason that the quintessential American expects a large fast food meal to still (they don’t anymore) map out to a huge portion of food.

      Same reason Big Gulps are cheap.

      And so it goes.

      That’s what they (we) were sold.

        I have no idea how you pulled that direction out of my statement.

        That said:

        WW1 was started with the killing of one man.

        So if you don’t think you can cause a shift of national politics with the well-placed death of one individual you’re naive.

          WWI kicked off with the murder of one man, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t already a powder keg.

          That being said, you don’t see this as a massive reach for finding 2 handguns in the woods?

        No, but it may be planning the assassination of one or more dissidents or people involved in supporting the Ukrainian defence effort, or perhaps some unrelated provocation designed to influence the coming elections. And this stash is unlikely to be everything they have in the country.
