Ask Hitler, ask Napoleon.
They exist in LaLaLand.
Neither has the US Army. Do you really think they forget? Come on, get real.
At one point the USSR was described as a third world country with rockets.
I still remember a couple of stories coming out of Russia in the early 1990’s. First, about 1/3 to 1/2 of rural hospitals in Russia did not have running water and second (verified by a noted agricultral economist), poor storage and poor transportation resulted in anywhere from 30% to 50% losses in grain output from the farm to the flour mills.
Now it's Mexico but with nukes.
Russia should have known better than to leave the tropics and fight a war in a cold climate.
Another dumb post. Russians are used to cold.
“Why dont they just steal some blankets from Ukrainian babies?”
Because the Russian’s eating the Ukrainian babies alive won’t give up the blankets.
This little video is truly incredible. It says so much about why Russia is losing this war

It shows a Ukrainian drone dropping a small grenade on a group of 11 Russian soldiers huddled sleeping in a (weakly) defensive dug-out pit, on the front line east of Bakhmut. What's amazing to watch is how sluggishly - if at all - the men react.
One man starts to get on his legs, but he merely shoves his way through other groggy men a few feet further from where the grenade hit and settles back to sleep. No one tries to change their overall situation before the next grenade hits. Three of the men don't move at all.
These men are suffering from moderate to severe hypothermia, when the body stops shivering and the mind goes into a stupor or even shuts down. They were probably laying huddled all night without proper clothing or bags. Night temperatures have been in the mid-high 30s F / 0-4 C
They're surely also sleep deprived. But above all, they're hopeless men in a hopeless situation. Whether convicts roped into a paramilitary force or recent conscripts to the regular army, these men have given complete control of their fates to people who treat them like garbage.
I am beginning to think that the neocons aligned with George Soros have infiltrated FR to an extent unimaginable.
In part, yes. Being Russian doesn't give anyone immunity to the cold, and a poor logistical system can kill troops in bad weather regardless of ethnicity.
That being said, there seem to be an awful lot of conclusions being drawn from one bit of overhead drone footage. I personally think the daily news reports are almost useless. What does tell you something is when actual ground starts changing hands. Regardless of the spin put on that fact, "strategic withdrawal", or "gave up ground they no longer wanted", or "the loss ratio was 10-1 in favor of the defender", the loss of ground tells you who won and who lost. At least in this war.
The pro-Moscow crowd has been telling us for months that Russia will be launching a massive winter offensive any day now that will retake all the lost ground and shatter the Ukrainian army. So I'm watching for that to happen. Or not happen. Until then, I figure it's just propaganda on both sides.
After all, if this is that common along the entire front, shouldn't we be seeing a lot more videos than just this one?>p? And I'm pretty far from being pro-Russian. But this is just weak.
But… but… what about the great winter advantage for the Red Army?
Oh… whoops.. that only helps you when you’re defending your own homeland.

😢In the Zaporizhzhia region, a two-day-old baby was buried, who was killed by the russians with a rocket on the night of November 23.
I like Russians. And, Ukrainians.
George Soros, Putin and the KGB and that financier of the Biden crime family, Zalensky, not so much.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are being outfitted with modern cold-weather gear. Sucks to be a Russian invader these days.
I guess these Russians are from the Tropic zone in Russia.
Russians survived WW2 with Western aid providing winter coats, boots, etc.
Plenty of evidence the Russians, apparently, did not learn how to supply these things themselves (or stole all the coats) based on what we're seeing here. It's not like it's JUST an article making accusations. There's video of Russkies near dead in their trenches, barely moving when a grenade drops on them. Most of them might have already been dead already, actually, except for the one that scurries slowly to the other side of the pit.
