Most respectfully, what you wrote was silly ignorance.
Here it is:
“During WWI some French troops revolted. The situation that the mobilized Russians find themselves in is probably much worse than what the French faced.”
A comparison of the number of soldiers killed says that the French were more than 100 times worse off than the Russians are now.
By 1917, when the French Mutiny occured, France had almost 3/4 million war dead, with a population of 40 million. That’s 1 in every 50 people
By contrast, Radio Free Europe* said two weeks ago that Russia has had 20,000 fatalities. That’s with a population of 140 million. That’s one in every 7000 people.
To put it another way, in the last year the US had the same number of homicides, two times the number of traffic deaths, and 5 times the number of drug overdoses as the Russians have lost in Ukraine.
😂
Why does the Ukraine war remind me of the global US Karen yelling at a former abusive husband of her girlfriend over their old divorce property settlement while her girlfriend multitasks fighting with her husband and rummaging through Karen’s closet for cute new summer outfits?
the radiation monitors, considering who is putting them in, seem likely to serve only one real purpose.
This has never been our business and certainly not our war.
Remember the “peace dividend”? Well that is gone, probably forever. Thank You Bush 1 & 2, Clinton 1 & 2, Obama 1 & 2(Biden).
Irregardless of leadership and political landscape, Russia will never trust us again.
Or just publish an API and we'll write our own edit function and give it to you for free.
Uh, no.
Biden says the war must go on until the last Ukranian is dead
“Hunter’s War has been a disaster for the West.
Thanks Joe.”

Elections have consequences: With Joe, there is War.
“and 5 times the number of drug overdoses as the Russians have lost in Ukraine”.

All good points: WRT drugs, there is always the specter of millions who are especially “at risk”. A middle school teen had to be resuscitated in class yesterday.
The Russians don’t maintain an open-border policy, either.
While I’m glad this war is coming to a close. It seems it may be because a war with China is what they want to concentrate on. So, the word is out…wrap it up.
“ Ukrainian tractors are parading through Red Square.”
Please say you forgot the /s.
The “cancel culture” we see in the culture war here at home is now US foreign policy under Biden’s handlers (Obama’s alumni). But, the same way you can’t cancel Limbaugh, Trump, Tucker Carlson or Joe Rogan…try as they may, they can’t cancel Russia either.
It’s a cult, cults need a boggie man.
I think he will be forced to once the Poles “cross the rubicon”.
It was meant to be a disaster for the West, so that China can pick up Taiwan like a daisy in a meadow. Thanks Joe.

Everyone is so focused on the whole Russia-Ukraine thing that rarely does the topic of China come up, other than to discuss if they throw in with Russia.
In the meantime the West is depleting weapons and arms at a staggering pace in this proxy way. Our own officers have raised the flags of diminishing weapon caches. When China seeks to expand, and they will; will we even be capable of putting up a fight?
I keep thinking that Sun Tzu would be wringing his hands right now. Meanwhile, we argue about which bathrooms should be used in our military.
