Russia surely bit off more than it could chew - Ukrainian forces will be on the steps of Moscow by weekend.

I dunno.

The neocon warwhores in DC and Brussels are willing to fight to the last Ukrainian...

I think they don’t really “screening”.

It seems like they are trying to use the tactics from WW2, just throw masses of cannon fodder at the enemy and they will run out of bullets eventually?

Easiest way to lose a war is to fight the last war. France found that out the hard way in 1940.

Badly led, it seems. I’ve known several Russians and they were some pretty bright people; but if the army is half as corrupt as many reports say it’s doubtful if they have leadership worthy of the name.

Having spent so much time there, the info from the link reminded me of some very heartbreaking conversations with a number of Russian families over the years.

We had *Unregistered Russian pastor’s (as their evangelical and protestant churches were officially not allowed to exist), who had been raped and nearly killed, doing their required time in the RUS Army.

Not the worst things encountered over there, but hard to work through -

Weird that the tank is 500 klicks from where it needs to be in the Donbass.

I'd say they picked their location quite well, and as a result some armored vehicles and soldiers won't be making it to Donbas, Sumy, or wherever they were heading.

“Interesting. The T-64 is a crappy tank, a real loser from day One”

The T-64, and T-64A maybe. The T-64B was much improved.

Besides, they couldn’t be all bad in that 13,000 were produced.

It's called "dedovshchina", and apparently all new conscripts face it at some level, with being gang-raped or murdered being at the worst end of the spectrum. They have a very high suicide rate.

“Nothing good ever happens during convoy duty...”

The troops were told by their superiors that they were going to be greeted as liberators with women and children lining the street waiving flags and cheering them on.

Instead they were greeted by hostile villagers throwing Molotov cocktails, with anti-tank missiles behind every tree.

Can you blame them for being buttoned up?

As my personal friend Captain Obvious has noted on many occasions, "Training can be more important than hardware." The US spends much more money, time & effort on military training than most foreign countries. Purely hypothetical, but if you put a bunch of American tankers in T64s, with time allowed for standard US training, and sent them up against an equal number of M1 Abrams tanks with Russian crews (and standard Russian training), the results might be interesting. (Or is that essentially what happens at Ft. Irwin? ;>)

Anyone know if any Israeli units equipped with captured Soviet equipment ever faced Arab forces with M48s or M60s? Might not be the best comparison, though, because even the Jordanians may have spent more on training their armored forces than the Ruskies...

Well, obviously the Mariupol mayor is a Nazi who knows all about Auschwitz, so quit listening to him and tune in to putinisourmessiah.com for accurate information. /putinapologist

The Ukrainians are willing to fight to the last Ukrainian.

Theg don’t want to surrender to Moscow.

I guess you would have been among those wondering why the Jews were fighting in the Warsaw ghetto uprising, eh?

Putin has stated that his aim was to wipe out the nation of Ukraine off the map. Do you support Putin’s genocidal aim?

I believe a lot of the Russian supporters fell for the Q Follower’s conspiracies and now can’t bring themselves to admit it.

Putin was going to save Ukrainians from a corrupt Government.

Putin was going after a major worldwide pedo ring.

Secret Bio Labs (that weren’t a secret) that held not only deadly pathogens (don’t all Bio Labs have bad stuff in them?) but also contains information on the NWO and the latest conspiracy, contain Hunter Biden corruption (as if we need more).

The information was going to be released by Putin to show the world.
Putin never said such a thing.

Which one wonders why a Bio Lab would have a dream treasure of Q Nutty information like that.

And of course the fan favorite…….there are Nazis in them thar hills.

There is a segment of people that got snookered into all of that.

But you also have the hardcore 100% USDA QTards that still believe that B.S. that began on the internet and within hours (as I was trying to track it) spend like a Westside Detroit hooker.

Honestly, it’s an amazing lesson in human behavior.

So that’s what we’re up against. Loony B.S.

Interestingly……..if the Great Deceiver that is mentioned in the Bible in Revelations was to simple say or be a known Q Follower……..he could convince those people to do anything.
Including get a micro chip so the evil Cabal of the NWO can’t track you. It will stop the One World Government.
Or something like that……..
