This is "Ground-Level Broken Chain-of-Command" on the Russian Infantry. This Ukraine War is more of "Multiple-and-Big Smart Bombs and Precision Bombings" which is Nerve-breaking for all the Russian Soldier. Especially to those who were not informed on why-and-how they have to be part of a Invasion war against Ukraine. All these Russian soldiers were told only about Special Operations, not a Full-scale War. Russian 'invaders' are hiring mercenaries and pay them 5,000 dollars a month.
“Putin is insane and wants to bring the ussr borders back. He wants to expand russia like and be regarded as a czar.”
I totally agree with your statement.
“In a war, one does not refuse to fight. One simply has to join the other side. There are no abstainers in warfare”
There are no abstainers when your country is invaded. Ukrainian husbands and wives, fathers & sons. Farmers, widows, children are taking their stand for Ukraine. fighting for Ukraine. Even clergy have chosen to become involved.
Your words remind me of Patrick Henry:
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!
The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms!
Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle?
What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God!
I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Ukrainian forces are not smashing jack according to the latest ground assessments, period.
Might want to listen to a Ukrainian’s letter from the front, which can be readily found posted online.

Uhuh
Is this is the same Mark Sleboda, who lives in Moscow and says he is self employed but a member of the “Faculty of Sociology of the Moscow State University”?
idk if he would be the voice of objectivity
Strange how that Ukrainian letter posted up comes from one of the sites you pull from regularly, but alas, I as others know, you won’t post up real, actual ground reporting’s....
Are you really even mentioning “objectivity” in the same post made by RevMom who is posting up anything but objectivity?
Ignorance is bliss.
Cranked probably lives in Moscow too.
You might think about switching to decaf. I am not mentioning objectivity in his post, I’m mentioning it in your post, I think you meant thread-so yes he is not objective either.
6500 Russian artillery shells in 24 hours for 6 days in a row.
Ukrainians are not smashing jack.
They are getting smashed.
You haven’t been in the military have you? The artillery shells you are referencing cost about $2,000 each, that was ten years ago so probably more like $3,000 now especially in Russia, but let’s use the old price $2k, 6,500 shells x 6 would mean they just spent $78 million just shelling one objective . Would they or could they? Yes it’s possible but their military budget is about 14% of ours so if they have spent that amount, their “victory” will be pyrrhic.
Do I think Ukraine will win, no. I’m surprised Russia has had this much difficulty and not wrapped it up by now. But let’s not forget Russia is not our friend, nor China and I’m not putting Ukraine on our friend list either.
Czar Nicholas 111?
What letter? Which clergy friend? What are you even talking about?
“I am not mentioning objectivity in his post, I’m mentioning it in your post”
I have no clue as to “cranked” real objections, except My viewpoint differs from his. But I am as entitled as he to express my opinions and support on this Free Republic forum for the causes I find credible.
For this, I will not apologize.,
I typically post/comment from reliable sources.
I do not expose sources of my Ukrainian or Russian friends.
I do post the recordings of captured audios of Russian soldiers back home or random videos of military action by drone or missles.
The FBI raided Donald Trump’s Florida home and all you people care about is Ukraine. You should move there.
Bkmk
You don’t read vid titles do you?
