I decided to go to the source for this post, the interview with and the Judge. I then looked at at least 100 comments. I was astonished to see that while there were over 1200 thumbs up (like) votes in the first 6 comments, there was not a singl thumbs down (dislike) vote. Then as I looked at all the other comments, there never was a vote for thumbs down at all. So obviously this is a managed site that does not allow any negative commentary. This is the second pro Russia blog or discussion site where not a single negative commentary appeared although there were many pro votes on numerous comments.
Here is one comment I copied from the site that I thought made particularly interesting observations about the lessons learned from this war:
Great interview again Judge. Love how you always have a clear question for which you get a clear answer. As far as your question regarding whether this war has actually strengthened Russia it is a fascinating one. I feel that the US and Europe chose the wrong field of battle for this kind of confrontation with Russia. Ukraine is right on Russia’s border so logistically it isn’t difficult for Russia, especially on the East side of the Dneiper River. Ukraine isn’t worth giving Russia all this knowledge about how they need to modernize their army for future wars with NATO. I imagine Russia will literally have millions of small and cheap drones that can’t be shot down by conventional air defense and need to be shot down with bullets within 10 years. They will be able to effectively attack foreign targets and destroy infrastructure without putting troops at risk. This is going to nullify the air advantage the West has had through the US spending billions and billions of dollars. All the military might that money bought is going to be matched by things that cost just a fraction of the cost. I’ts going to become a much more even playing field in the future.
MY thought is what is to stop the West from adopting a lot more cheap drones and saving money on big bad mortars unless they determine that Russia is also bulking up on big arms as well as drones?
Typo in #30. Should read “interview with Ritter and the Judge” in line one.
Yeah these drones are something else, even less tech savvy countries like Iran have developed cheap drones able to avoid the usual protections and that have proven to be very effective.
The comment guy is another fantasizing Russian (of which there is no shortage when it comes to things military) who has no concept of what he is talking about - just another propagandist.
