You mean like this screed you're writing?
Since the special operation started, the Russian army has been an abject failure. Totally corrupt and incompetent.
I’m not in favor of Ukraine. They’re wannabees and grifters getting rich off of gullible Westerners. They don't deserve a dime from us. Let the Europeans pay for it. But come on, man, all you Russian supporters, you’ve got to admit, if you’re not lying or stupid, that Russia really f’d up this war. And they've actually rejuvenated a dying NATO. How crazy is that?
I’m mostly upset for the Russian grunts on the ground. They’re treated horribly, underequipped, under led and under fire, and any REAL Russia lovers should be furious about that. Their officers have no strategic or even tactical sense except to send them into direct fire. ENOUGH! Stop.
They have massive supply and logistics problems, outdated and completely undermaintained equipment, had to throw new troops into battle without proper kit and clothing, the list is endless.
I view this whole operation/war as any professional military man would, with an objective eye on what is happening, not press releases and propaganda. Russia’s military is in horrible shape due to graft and corruption and needs a complete reform.
I actually hope they get it.
“ screed”
We done.
“Russia’s military is in horrible shape due to graft and corruption and needs a complete reform.”
I really thought they had already done it after 2008. But it looks like it was just Potemkin window dressing.
Now they can’t do that during a war and because of ingrained vested interests.
Putin’s ego and his hubris has led to this - if he had satisfied himself with Salami tactics and just claimed the DPR / LPR region as Russia, then there wouldn’t be what is happening now - the Russian military is getting deconstructed to Iran’s level in front of our eyes.
