They don't have the tools to fight a conventional war, they can't replace their tech, it's dark for them and getting darker. The guts, bravery, and motivation that Ukraine have shown from the start is unreal. It is hard to explain. Slava Ukraini.

    Everything about Russian tactics is elementary. Its only good against inferior numbers with inferior equipment. Thats why they struggled against Finland and honestly germany in ww2 were defeated by the elements and lack of supply. Russia always runs and hides for winter, and they attack like zombies, and only in massive numbers can they win. But also massive casualties.

    There’s a couple of inherent problems any totalitarian state has: 1. Telling unpleasant truths makes you liable to be punished or at best ignored - because it goes against any official line, and against the expectations people have drilled themselves to expect. So the little people tell the big people everything is fine. 2. The big people get used to getting what they want. They believe in their own entitlement. They usually see personal enrichment from the state as their just desserts. 3. Nobody can tell the truth. Dishonesty starts to pervade many aspects of life. The big people feel entitled to steal, and the little people see no reason why they shouldn’t too, just to survive. Everyone *has* to be corrupt. 4. So the brigade has 900 on its payroll, a warehouse full of equipment and everybody has been well trained on manoeuvres. Except there are actually only 500 (They borrowed personnel from another brigade for the big parade.) The warehouse contents bears no resemblance to the records, and nobody did the genuine military exercise because there wasn’t enough fuel to run the tanks because somebody sold it.

    If you want to know the difference between the Ukrainian and Russian military, then here you have it. Front line infantry being able to explain the strategic and tactical overview of the operation. They knew what they were doing, how it fitted into the overall battle plan, what resources and support they had. Decision making down to the squad level so that when they hit contact they knew to fall back and fix the enemy. Two totally different military cultures.

    The Russian military doctrine doesn't allow for decision making at NCO level to fit changing tactical situations. Orders are given higher up the command tree and there is no allowance made for flexibility at lower kevels. That is why so many Russian senior commanders became casualties early in the war. They were coming to front line areas to give orders relating to changing tactical situations. Most other armies allow that kind of decision by senior NCOs.

    So if I understood that right they basically were meant to be a feint force, but also ended up taking and securing their position forcing retreat at the LESS fortified feint force’s position. Then sounds like other areas won out and reinforced forcing Russian retreat.

    In February Russia stationed 100k troops along the borders. There are different sources that state between 39k and 50k Russian soldiers lost their lives. That would be 40-50% of what they surrounded the Ukraine with! Not to mention the loss in equipment, morale, trust and will to fight.

    The long-term ones, which includes loonies like Lindsey Graham, are actually committed to supporting Ukraine; however, they are being chipped away at by Trump loyalists running for office, deadset on establishing a Contrarian, pro-Russian narrative. They say “I don’t support Ukraine NOR Russia,” but in reality, they desperately want Ukraine to lose, so they can blame Biden (and they all have huge man-crushes on Putin, just like their Dear Orange Messiah himself).

    The right side of history. The democrats have not been this mad since we took their slaves away. Or when we let blacks vote, and again when we desegregated the military and schools. The democrats have always been on the wrong side of history. Republicans have been on the righteous side of history and the republic.
