When I went through ROTC training we were were obviously taught to respect the numerical superiority of the Soviet bloc Armour units deployed across the Iron Curtain. But I remember some of our NCO instructors mentioned that Russian enlisted personnel lacked strong NCO guidance....that they were heavily dependent on top-down leadership. After all these years...this holds true today.

These people act as if history doesn’t exist.
Russia could flatten Uke in a day if it wanted to. Remember Chechnya? That it has chosen not to is NOT proof it can’t.
This operation is special in the way the Special Olympics are special. All of the senior Russians involved used to ride the short bus to school.
Their training certainly must be deficient. I’m sure most American combat vets will agree with me that when they get into a firefight mist will automatically react as they have been trained.
Also, the Russian tactics must really suck.
Remember a female ex-vet telling me, proudly, that she refused orders.
She bever understood my resultant disgust towards her.
U.S Afghanistan success story
I watched Wag the Dog again last night.
They called the wagged country Albania, but it smelled like Ukraine.
Anything the globalist corporate gaslight presstitutes say about Ukraine is a lie.
Ba da bing
Dance boy needs US billions to fight failing, incompetent Russians. 🤔
20 years and Uncle Sam couldn’t beat some 7th century brutes
Only if they killed all the Ukrainians
No body cares about Muslim Chechnya
Top down military just like the Trashcanistan withdrawal.
Could have called it Serbia
Patton understood you can’t operate armor in urban areas or terrain with concealment without aggressive infantry patrolling and combat engineers to sweep mines/IEDs.
Of course those jobs aren’t much fun.
Relatively cheap drone technology nullifies armor. It’s plain to see.
Javelin and Stingers are the bomb. Russian didn’t plan on that. It slowed the down to a crawl.
And...the United States dropped more ordnance in Vietnam that WW2. Just fact. When a country wants freedom they will fight and die over 30 years, if necessary. Most professional military minds believe it will take 500,000 troops to take and occupy Ukraine. The number might be higher. Let Putin move all his chips to the center of the table. Read your military history. This isn’t Syria and this isn’t Chechnya
That is on Biden...not the US military
Good
Let’s stop sending Azov Nazi brigade billion dollars worth of weaponry
