Russia has a huge demographic problem, yet Putin is killing off all his young military aged men on a whim
Another reason to make a push now while he is still able to field an army.
The bigger story here is to find out why The White House did nothing for one full year, while Russian forces massed on the border and why is The White House NOT cutting of Russias oil. This is actually 0 times bigger than any other White House scandal in our history.
“we allowed our tactical commanders to be flexible, whereas that wasn’t true in the Soviet Bloc model.”

Not so - or at least entirely so. In fact, WW3 almost got rolling because Soviet commanders had flexibility in certain situations to pop off a nuke during the Cuban Missle Crisis. Two out of three voted to do it, but the third said “Nyet”.

Our military is much better than the Russian military at being woke.
“This is a useful analysis of the Russian way of war, and the problems it is facing in Ukraine”
As Stalin observed: Quantity has a quality all its own.
I hope you’re right, but I don’t think you are.
See you in a week.
You honestly demented enough to think any nation can use a nuke and not be annihilated in response like a rabid dog by all the other nuclear powers simply out of self preservation? It like you all are ripping and reading the talking points the Kremilin is sending out without bothering to think for a heartbeat
Ummmm, each of those young military aged men could have produced lots of Russian babies. Now they are worm food.
They adjusted in the Second Chechen War. The Russians are notorious for starting slow in wars, then they'll throw troops at it until their enemy cries "Mother Russia".
Yep. Reading about Russia, you'll find that their history is so tragic. They are always making boneheaded moves like this one. Maybe it's the vodka. But I thought Putin is not a drinker?
For example a whole lot of Stalin “quantity came from the Ukraine, the the central Asian states . Putin has no access to them now
I think Ukraine News must have a ton of stock footage of gas oven explosions in high rise buildings they’ve kept on hand just for this purpose. You’ll see a burnt out apartment with early 2000’s model automobiles in the streets.
A few years ago, our esteemed military leadership was ok in shutting down the only Abrams tank factory in the USA. Trump stopped it thank God.
That was hilarious. The Science has spoken!
By the end of this week, the narrative will likely be one of three things:
1) On the verge of victory, Putin gasses civilians, or
2) Putin releases deadly Optimus Prime variant on innocent Ukrainian civilians, or
3) random false flag, probably an attack on a ship, since that’s how it’s usually done.
Each option has it’s merits. 1 has it’s proven track record, though it didn’t really work in Syria all that well. 2 has been ultra-effective recently, but will it work again, or have they already pushed it too far? 3 has worked really well a couple of times, but failed once, though the failure didn’t stick. Tough decisions for the Deep State.
Quantity is its own quality?
I would not be surprised if Putin is taken out ending this which should tick off the Biden occupation to no end as it would put an end to Hunters cocaine money
Well, Russia isn’t bogged down nor are they retreating.
Meanwhile, here in America, 2.6 MILLION illegals have invaded, we lost Afghanistan, have shut down oil pipelines and the rogue Government has instituted vax cards/ID’s in many places. Of course John Kerry suggests it’s all because climate change.
I’m sure if we merely print more money, zero out the debt and go to battle with both Russia and China, all will be well, except any imports including medications. I’m also sure brilliant Biden has an incredible winning plan.
“Ukraine was part of Imperial Russia since Catherine the great.”
Except for the parts that were part of Austria, Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and two attempts at independence after the Bolshevik Revolution.
“As Stalin observed: Quantity has a quality all its own.”
That is sadly correct. Ukraine is outnumbered 10 to 1. That means they have to win every battle. One loss and they go down.
So far they have been very good / very lucky, but that can’t continue forever.
