i’m suprised that the russian army is pretty bad. almost like they were using unprofessional soldiers.
The civlians in Belarus were complaining that the Russkies on their “training” exercise left miles of trash consisting almost exclusively of vodka, and that the Russkies were selling their gear and fuel in order to get more alcohol. Russians reportedly nearly killed themselves by passing out at night in the freezing weather.
At home, the Russian military has a very pronounced gulag culture consisting of brutal hazing and rape, a situation so bad that the Russian army now censors how many suicides they have each year from the bad treatment.
This is an Orc and Goblin army that is good at grabbing innocent civilians in Syria, for example, and videoing themselves hacking off their limbs, but doesn’t seem to have the professionalism or the ability to do that well against a foe that fights back.
Well, Russian army is mostly bad, using unprofessional soldiers. They relied always on few spec forces and on a mass of amateurs. It worked for them, sometimes.
Unfortunately they have some serious nuclear weapons. We should cancel any nuclear treaty that we have with the Ruskies and start building more nuclear weapons. But that kind of resolve won’t happen until these jabonies are kicked out on their ASS!.
The Russians make for a good boogie man for the American left, but they have always been overrated.

The problem here is that for 20 years most of the fuel budget for this unit has being going into someone’s vacation place in Cyprus.
Russia is finding that a lot of depots that on paper were filled with fuel and ammo are actually empty.

Yes, me too. I knew they were weaker than the old Soviet Union, but this actually surprises me.
This has to have China rethinking their alliance. I would look at this, and realize Russia won’t big a very big help in any conflict.
