A sad commentary on the Russian military.
He has good points.
The US military though tends to be much more squared away, procedurally, than most world militaries. The US military, as I have observed it, functions with a truly extraordinary degree of order and discipline.
I think quite a few armies would be as neglectful or more so. Sometimes much more so.
Ref the FOD. The Russians don’t have to worry about it the way our guys do. The Il-76 was designed to be able to use unpaved and gravel runways. Here’s a video of an Il-76MD using an unpaved runway:

It’s not just Ilyushins. MiGs can take off and land using just fields, no runway or road required. Don’t try that with an F16!
Totally different designs from ours.

And "buy a paid subscriber-ship to substack," because he'd "really appreciate it."
His address as he posts it is a UPS Store in Silver Spring, MD.
He's very adept at self-promotion with a YouTube channel, Twitter, LinkedIn, Substack, Reddit, Instagram, GitHub, Patreon, and more. In addition to selling his "BunkerBranding" t-shirts, he is, as he says, "Available for: 30 second YouTube ads / Product reviews / Giveaways / TV / Media interviews / Speaking Engagements":

The reason I look a little more closely at these and other YouTube channels is that many prove to be self-promotion, 2) bringing in nice YouTube ad revenue, and 3) pass on others' work as a part of their own promotion.
In this deadly war between two non-NATO thugs, it seems many are able to turn the grizzly details of war into a nice profit for themselves. Click. And buy a t-shirt.
And in case one should inquire, I have done this for the Macgregors and seeming "opposing views." A lovely cottage industry for many. This guy is GOOD!
