PING!
I think of the big lessons learned over the decades is that “wanting to win” is one of the really crucial aspects.
If Russia goes in, they will “want to win”.
Ukraine will defend, and they will also “want to win” but may have a tough time against Russia.
Does Belgium “want to win”?
Does the US “want to win”?
Does Germany “want to win”?
I say “No”.
I don’t think “capability” is a prime determining factor. It’s the desire that matters. And Europe doesn’t really want a war. So this is likely to be quick.
We should not only not want to win, we should not want to be there in the first place.
Something about “Foreign adventures” some old white guy said a long time ago.
Why should the “Government” of the United States of America sent troops to fight and die defending the borders of Ukraine when they [the “Government] refuse to defend the borders of the United States? Answer me that, please.
Did the Spetsnaz complete their woke training requirements?
A little half-kiloton nuke to the Spetsnaz staging area ought to take care of it.
None in the video are military special operators. The guys in the first video are the unit of the Russian Dept of Prisons, on the second the VDV paratroopers, on the third the Alpha CT team.
The Belgians are not active troops but cadets in training as well.
