The Hill, may as well be Media Matters.
Food and money are often just as important as ammunition, quality weapons, and good tactics.
Russia lacks all 5. Always has.
It used to have numbers and terrain and a willingness to do anything to win.
It has a numerical advantage, but not like it did. Terrain works against them here. They are still willing to do whatever it takes, but the men are not.
UK intelligence? As in Christopher Steele of the phony Steele dossier fame?
“ but Putin can’t pay his troops either. ”
__________
The article doesn’t say that. It’s only a speculation. Like The Hill speculating Trump colluded with Russia.
*Yawn*
Russia AND China are worse off financially than we are. JMHO!
“UK intelligence”
The same ‘intelligence’ that can’t even find a way to keep their pubs open while trying to ‘punish’ Putin, who, by the way can keep all of his pubs open.
War must be going pretty bad for Ukraine if this is the best thing they can report.
You have no respect for yourself.
Has it occurred to the folks that post articles about Ukraine and Russia that a very very strong majority of the people on FR …. DO NOT GIVE A F*^*v
What they do care about is all the corruption has gone on, continues to go on and the fact that the potato in the White House continues to give one of the most politically corrupt places in earth continues to get billions on US dollars and US military equipment.
Anyone who supports what CornPop and the rest are doing in Ukraine, in an attempt to beat big bad Russia, are doing nothing but supporting the continued suffering of the Ukrainian people. For it is their towns and cities that are the battlefield. Not Moscow.
UK Intelligence? Is that the same group of geniuses who planned the two failed “commando raids” on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant? You know… the Keystone Cop raids that the western main stream media is embarrassed to cover.
—”Not only is Russian logistics a disaster,”
“My logisticians are a humorless lot … they know if my campaign fails, they are the first ones I will slay.” – Alexander the Great.
Just put Ukraine in the title and the vatnicks (plural?) come running like roaches.
UK intelligence?
For the longest time the Clinton administration resisted awarding CIBs and combat patches to soldiers in Somalia because Clinton wanted to preserve the illusion that our soldiers weren’t engaging in combat...at least until his pollsters discovered there was much to lose by not presenting the MOH to the families of Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart.
The Russian male population is passive compliant at this point. They will just roll over and shrug their shoulders. The Russian bloodlines with guts were killed off long ago.
We’re just left Russian keyboard commandoes like our Putin supporting friends on this thread.
Wait a minute. They “likely” and “probably” haven’t been paid?? If the author don’t actually know, the article is worthless.
Those bonuses could be used to pay for more recruits or N. Korean death-wish troops, so, why waste the money?
at least some outright corruption amongst commanders,
—
Some? In a country where corruption is a way of life. Some? Where a US$10,000 Russian-made drone is sold to the RGF for US$100,000? Some?
Check out his yacht.
