To: Night Hides Not
The "General Winter" bluster is historical ignorance.

The Soviet Union had an advantage in winter because the Germans were completely unused to, and ill-prepared for, the winter on the steppes. They were an invader 1000 miles from home, in hostile territory.

But here, Ukraine is defending its own territory, during winters that their own people have experienced and lived through their entire lives. And the Russians already admitted that more than a million winter uniforms that were supposed to be in storage don't actually exist.

The home field advantage for winter is with Ukraine, not Russia

The US has produced what it has always produced in every conflict since WWII.

A Quagmire.

Won’t do enough to win, will do just enough to ensure more suffering on all sides.
