From videos/pics of Russian POWs, many of them look pretty bad. Like conscripts who were recent farmers in rural Russia.

The Expiration date for the surrendering Russians rations is 2015.

The Ukrainians are in disbelief at what they’re finding.

There are no “leaders” at the troop level in the Russian military who know anything more or have any more power than these conscripts.

The Russian military is a mess at command and control. Any kind of “initiative” by a commander risks their lives. The USSR died, but the “stick to the plan or risk your life” mentality in their military has not gone away.

I don’t blame these conscripts. They do not know where they are, or why they are fighting, and the “enemy” looks just like them in every respect. Soldiers need to fight for something and they have no idea what that is.....

I saw that! Food expired 7 years ago.

Russians are raiding Ukrainian stores for food and diesel.

Plus jewelry stores, banks, etc. They are Russian soldiers after all.

And when they say US officials tell you to make sure to get your vaccine or get moved to a camp...will you?

There was a hilarious video of a Russian soldier the captors let phone his mother. He’s trying to explain he’s okay but he’s a prisoner of war. Clearly, that was not okay with her and she wanted him home NOW. “No. Mom, please listen. I’m a prisoner of war. I’m fine. I’ll be fine. They’re treating me well.” He must have said three times, “Mom. Please listen to me. I’m okay.”

Well, you have missed the mark by a wide margin

There are lots of videos showing destruction of Russian armor and transport.

Featured are American supplied anti Tenk missles that seem to be very effective

I have to say. Of all the Russian trolls, I like you the best.

A sense of humor.

Kazan, he has none.
