A pretty damning assessment of Kiev's forces by an experienced guy that wants to be on their side.

Well, if they joined NATO, all of this would have been standardized.

What do you expect when both sides use the same equipment and wear the same uniforms

He may wish to be on their side, but I see no practical way that a foreign force can compete with the Russian bear on what is practically their territory. Sorry to say, I don’t see any way any sort of Western-force adventure can have a positive outcome in this situation. And maybe that is purely shortsidedness on my part.

Considering there have been between 2 to 4 thousand dead Russkie soldiers in this conflict, we would have to conclude that if the Ukrainians really are as incompetent as this guy claims, then the Russkies are so bad that all their military successes depend entirely on Ukrainians shooting themselves.

Off topic, I suppose, but in the event of a race war in the US, the Negroes will get to play the part of the Ukrainians.

I would try to teach them something, and they would say, "Who are you to lecture me? I threw Molotov cocktails during the Maidan. ”

The Brits are sending in some instructors to help our side, against the Russians.

Sounds familiar somehow or other. They say that at Agincourt, the French knights charged into a funnel-shaped field and, when they got to the narrow part of the funnel, all trampled each other and that, even had there been no English there with longbows at all, most of them would have died...

Anonymous source. Great.

Ukraine’s military was looted for years by Russian puppets so of course its like a 3rd world country force.
