Honestly I thought Russia would walk right through them. Seems like Russia is not the military power we were told it is.
Maybe, just maybe Russia is doing it’s darnedest to prevent civilian casualties against an enemy that is using them as human shields. That would tend to slow things down.

Yeah the pundits failed to check on the huge changes in the RA since the fall of the USSR. Even now there are various sources, commentators, and posters believing and assuming the RA has near or more than a million troops in the Army. The entire active Russian Ground Force is only 280,000 troops - Soviet Armies consisted of 100,000 troops each. Four of those Armies were on the East German border long ago.
Me too. It's been 4 weeks. I thought it would be over in 4 days.
And yet this mis-administration seems scared chitless of them.
And there will be no Nuke war as everyone understands MAD!
I think Putin could walk right through Ukraine if he chose to. NOt sure why he is playing this game.
