There’s no way we can beat the Russian’s in their own backyard. It’s been tried. No one can.
“There’s no way we can beat the Russian’s in their own backyard. It’s been tried. No one can.”
The Russians do well when faced with a frontal assault. No argument from me on that point.
Yet the weakness of the Russians is that their governments tend to be driven by charismatic leaders and when those leaders fail (like Gorbachev did when he got toppled) the faith in the system fails because the state is the leader and the leader is the state.
Seriously, all of the NATO tanks combined did not defeat the USSR. But Boris Yeltsin did so with one tank.
Putin is the same thing. He’s the face of the state and he is synonymous with state power.
And he has enemies.
Who can be helped to oust him.
