Both sides are doing propaganda the truth is somewhere between but I will say this the Russians on paper have no reason to be in this position. IMO their equipment soldiers and leadership have proven to be less than superior. A first as superior in numbers….should not be having these difficulties and suffering such losses. Do I think Ukraine will prevail as in their country being whole is extremely unlikely but the idea that Russia is the premier military organization in the region is dashed they are a third rate military and economy with nukes. Look at North Korea and a nuclear Iran as similar examples. Every day this goes on without a Russian “victory” is a loss for them
By both sides doing propaganda I don’t mean Russia and Ukraine.
I mean pro-Ukraine FReepers versus Pro-Russia FReepers.
This is an ever-present crap storm that is simply personal attack versus personal attack that’s making the site a laughing stock.
I mean BOTH sides here.
Russia has a huge systemic problem in its military. It does not have a hard inner core of NCOs. This has a far larger effect on competence and discipline than most realize. Thousands of years of human combat has demonstrated this necessity.
I guess the Russians know better. /s
