“If Ukraine can inflict similar losses, Russia will leave.”
Those who believe the Ukrainians didn’t study and aren’t now implementing the guerrilla tactics of the Afghans and Iraqis are deluding themselves. Those of us who remember the Soviet incursion into Afghanistan remember the same refrain about the vaunted strength of the Russian military .. “it’s only a matter of time before the resistance is reduced to a remnant.” Well, we know how that turned out. A steady and determined resistance will wear the orcs down in time, and make their invasion something they’ll deeply regret.
The author Galeev says Ukraine can’t repeat the Afghanistan insurgence because there are no mountains and not even forests to hide in.
