“All that is happening there today is explained by the fact that our armed forces are unable, I emphasize, unable to conduct strategic offensive operations,” Rutskoy said. “For 22 years, the armed forces have been commanded by people who did not serve in the army. For a quarter of a century, the armed forces have been headed by totally incompetent people.”

We spent 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan and didn’t win either war, so can we say US military leaders are any better.

If Alexander Rutskoy hasn’t been sanctioned by the West, then this is just old-guy gas.

Yes, the Russians are losing. That is why we are sending them another $45 Billion, advanced tanks, and other armaments... /s

Was winning really the objective? It seems that we never have an exit strategy.

I'm glad these Ukrainian fighters surrendered. Return them to their homes and let them finish their lives

Sometimes, it’s not the times you decide to fight, but the times you decide to surrender, that makes all the difference. It would be better to surrender before you begin. be lost. Be lost and then you will not care if you are ever found. pic.twitter.com/qEMLHM8Rnq— The Borg Cube-Tatanka (@CByder) January 30, 2023

The objective is making money for the Military-Industrial Complex.

Well, you have a point there, we have people in the military who think they are the opposite sex. WWIII will be interesting, stocking up on popcorn now. My Family will not be answering any calls from DC.

Actually we won on the battlefield. The reason we lost is trying to install democracy in a society where it does not work. The logical course of action was to install a benevolent dictator of our choice. If he gets out of line, take him out and install a new one.

Conservatives generally support our military, and root for the USA. Now, the political powers are another story, but we’ve never been disrespectful of our folks in uniform.

It is awful that the hate for Biden, Obama, Clinton, et al, has driven conservatives into the formerly Leftist anti-miliary camp of haters.

The Left looks at EVERYTHING through their Woke world view. What is ours?

How can a story about Russia be filled with anti-US military posts?

Wokeness seems to be more important than winning.

And never forget, the under-funded, under-trained, under-equipped, corrupt and completely incompetent Ruskie military is such a dire threat to NATO, that the US has to ESCALATE the conflict & risk nuclear war! We obviously have no other choice! /s

The sanctions put more than $100 Billion in additional funds from energy exports in the Russian's pockets in 2022 vs 2021.
