They’re good at throwing cannon fodder at the front lines of their enemies. Sun Tzu is not on the Russian military bestseller list,to be sure. Russian troops are good at 2 things: brutality and dying for the motherland.

CNN people would not be thanking God. They would be on their knees worshiping Satan or working for Cooper Anderson, the remaining queen of cnn.

It’s really a disgrace to see all the Putin apologists on here. You don’t have to support involvement in Ukraine to see that he’s evil.

Yes, Putin's evil and Ukraine is thoroughly corrupt.

In a conflict between evil v. corrupt, who do you root for? (smh)

The Russians have shifted their attack to civilian targets and are using Chechen terrorist thugs, This is a desperation move. If the Ukrainians can hang in there Russia will stall out and have to negotiate a cease fire.

So many of these Putin azz kissers are so disappointed that the Russians are having their asses handed to them.

It’s hilarious. The crying and denial of what is going on.

No doubt they’d be rooting for the Russians against the US too.

You are incorrect. Using Chechen Muslim thugs and bombing civilian areas is an effort to demoralize the population.
Putins effort is lagging very badly. He has big logistical problems too, with food and fuel for his troops.

It is exceedingly easy to indiscriminately wipe out a city using MOABs, chemical, or nuclear weapons.

If Putin wiped out an entire city, the political ramifications at home and around the world would be seismic.

I tell you what, we sure were sold a bill of goods for the last seventy years about Russian capabilities. All those trillions wasted to build Western European defenses when all you need is a second rate army backed up by some Molotov cocktail throwing civilians to stop the Russian onslaught. If only Hitler had known. The Russians have enough artillery at hand to completely level Kiev today and not lose a man. You are falling for a coordinated western (CIA, US State Department, etc.) propaganda campaign.

Well, if the Russians ever decided to tangle with us, the fight will be extremely unfair to them.

Don’t expect US or EU to do anything more than talk and sanctions; all will go back to normal once operation is over; Ukraine Leader is an idiot so is Biden that is what caused all this.

US and EU are sending tons of weapons to Ukraine. Germany is sending Ukraine 1,000 anti-tank missiles and 500 stinger anti-aircraft missiles.

Russia has TOS-1As in country and the RAF has their MOABs ready to go. (thermobaric rockets and bombs). And may have already used them.

We had the same choice in WWII, in choosing to side with Stalin

Russian troop morale is low as their logistics are lacking, especially food, fuel and sophisticated weaponry,

Piling on:

many troops thought this was a training exercise, not an invasion ;

food issued was scarce to none and what there was, was low cost dog food, so troops raid local stores ;

fuel and gear sold at border for vodka, and more vodka;

moral low because drunk/hung over troops crossed with fuel half full and ran out with no resupply near, abandoning their vehicles ;

Russia used up its smart bombs in the first few hours and then dropped dumb iron ;

factories cannot supply smart bomb orders, supplying guns and ammo only.

They could easily have laid waste to Kiev and wiped it off the map. But I suspect Putin wants it intact. They could still get it over with PDQ if they wanted it to be a bloodbath.

90% of the pipelines going from Russia to Europe run through western Ukraine. Despite all that is going on, Ukraine is still allowing the NG and oil to flow. Putin is walking a fine line, because if he crosses it, Russia's money making machine could very easily be cut off for a very long time.
