“Was the great Soviet navy so incompetent they could not pass a surprise inspection?”
Russian military = paper tiger.
The war in Ukraine has exposed their vaunted military as inept, unskilled, untrained, a shadow of its former self. Or was it ALWAYS this way?
Russia is “WINNING”?
Russia should have conquered Ukraine easily like it did France in WW2.
Yet here we are STILL.
Your reply was interesting until: “Russia should have conquered Ukraine easily like it did France in WW2.”
Now I don’t know if that’s sarcasm, or if you are inept in history. As the Nazi’s are the ones that conquered France in WWII, with ease, as the French military were worthless. If it hadn’t been for the British Expeditionary Force, France would have fallen at the first sighting of a Panzer.
My point is, if the issue is ineptness with history, then your remarks regarding Ukraine are of equal value.
