Putin needs to be tried as a war criminal for this. He got away with his past expansionist actions; the world needs to put a stop to him. He is murdering his people and Ukrainian people for no valid reason.
We, Europe and everybody else need to start dealing with a new, sane Russian president.
Putin could care less about bodies it’s all about power he wants the USSR back in business.
Remind you of anyone else?
That is precisely what I discounted in my post that you answered. We were TOLD by the media types they were experienced and seasoned fighters because of the Iran/Iraq war.
The results revealed a totally different profile, mostly conscripts, no will to fight, inability to defend against American tactics (Thunder run), total lack of effective use of airpower, actually ANY airpower.
Their image as fighters was all hype and no substance in a face to face full conflict. They made their mark in unconventional warfare after their organized military was demolished.
Pentagon’s embrace of wokeness undermining ability to wage war, critics warn

Latest numbers for Soviet losses in The Great Patriotic War is 28 million.
(Former Pres.) Poroshenko is literally out in the streets with a militia that apparently has a Javelin launcher: He says the shots were all successful. But, he also reported yesterday his “battalion” is down to rifles (not enough for the men available) and a couple machine guns.
If we knew this was coming and that Putin was lying his butt off, (and I’ll bet we did), why the **** didn’t NATO have at least 1000 Javelins at the Polish border ready for next day delivery? 100,000 rifles and plenty of ammo? Etc.
