Of course we will all find flaws with the movie version.

They also had a thriving industry of cybercrime. One I would not be sad to get rid of. Hopefully they use those skills now on the Russian army.I don't remember seeing this here but even if it is a repeat, it's worth it.
Kickbacks - and hopefully in Rubles...Scott Ritter. WTF has he been smoking?
Did you see where, back in March, someone hacked into Putin's yacht recognition code?They also had a thriving industry of cybercrime. One I would not be sad to get rid of. Hopefully they use those skills now on the Russian army.

If Ukraine has to wait a year for refurbished/modernized M60s they might as well wait for the latest gen tanks. But if the Abrams is too complicated/novel/demanding for Ukraine's abilities/training/logistics and the Leopard 2 is blocked by German rückgratlosigkeit, what other options beyond scrounging across Europe (and Asia/Africa?) for more T-72s and T-64s and their derivates are there?US M60 are in long term storage for decades, they will need a complete rebuild to be of any use.
Surely NATO-supplied HIMARS, artillery, IFVs and MANPATS/PADS would have provoked Putin to claim as such already?Fleets of M1s/Leo 2s/Leclercs attacking russian positions = Putin claims Nato attacks us

If they are being treated as nothing, and the responses aren't being publicize. They also may be getting ignored because they're completely ineffective.From your supplied link:
Continued Russian attacks on U.S. or allied "soil or systems" merit a steady roll-back of appeasement-based policies crafted to reduce wider tensions and discourage Russian efforts to expand their invasion beyond Ukraine.
The carrots have failed and it is now time to try some sticks.
Rolling back Europe's informal commitment to keep Western-sourced tanks, aircraft, and other "offensive" weaponry out of Ukraine is a logical first step. Russia only cares about the battlefield if the Russian Army loses significant ground or faces a significant loss.
I think that cyber attacks on government or infrastructure should be regarded as an act of war, perhaps cause for shooting, perhaps cause for cyber-responses; but this treating them as nothing is crap.
Basically, yeah: I assume that was used to compromise him. His first known offense was around 2001 (I say known because somebody in high places might have known about his proclivities earlier).He's a convicted pedo.
