That's a pretty widely debunked myth, the Soviets back then and Russians now have plenty of arms and ammo, it's logistics, training, coordination, and the Kremlin only caring about ultimate victory which means they'll happily send 2/3rds of these new units as human ablative armor to exhaust the...

Good things come to those with the patience to wait... unless you're actually GRR Martin in which case the majority of your fans would really wish you're working on a certain book about seasonal air currents ;)

TBF, the Germans were certain they would take Stalingrad in less than a week and considering how sh!t the Soviets were in defending it, they almost did. The thing is though that the Kremlin DNGAF about losses at that point and so basically kept attacking and attacking and attacking which kept...

Mice were part of the issue from what I've read / watched (Tikhistory's Battlestorm Stalingrad is on the level of the best documentaries I've ever watched), but they were given very early war hand me downs in pretty much all things from the tanks (that did get chewed up by mice) to a few 40mm AT...

Honestly he's just a Marxist - Leninist, it automatically excludes EVERYTHING ELSE.

Russia undoubtedly has the STRONKEST! military in the world.

Simple fact is Russia has caught up and surpassed Ukraine wrt drone production / usage since they AND Iran are producing them in centralized factories while Ukraine is stuck with its cottage industry and their suppliers seem to be doing f all (cardboard drones are cool and stealthy... but when...

It does say something about the relative quality of troops, equipment and tactics between the Russians and Ukrainians that while the Zaphorizhia offensive is near parity in equipment losses (with Ukrainians using much more survivable NATO or inspired vehicles), for the Russians in Avdiivka...

To the soldier requesting a massive sustained artillery campaign similar to the one that allowed Wagner to take Bakhmut... Prigozhin is dead and your current leadership both close by and in the Kremlin were made very annoyed by his incessant complaining about not having enough fire support so...

I really don't think you have much to worry about for Molotov Ribbentrop 2 especially from the Ukrainian side considering how bad the blood is between Ukrainians and Russians now.

With what manpower? If this continues for the 'usual' 4-6 years and the way it has been, Ukraine and Russia are both gonna be looking like Paraguay after the War of the Triple Alliance... even more than they do naturally... Poland, meanwhile has basically transferred their old Warsaw Pact...

Yeah, this right here is why I reserve judgment on any high up getting whacked until there's hard evidence from THEIR side or they're basically never seen again (and in the latter case, even Surovikin has been trotted out from whatever GULAG they keep him stashed 99% of the time.) Anything else...

Even if Ukraine somehow retakes 100% of its pre 2014 land and Putin's cabal gets replaced by some 'anti-Putin' cabal, the idea of any of Russia's current leadership facing trial outside Russia is chuckle worthy.

So? Again, doesn't owe Ukraine or Russia jack spit and he's no longer CEO of twiXter so that's the purview of the WEF stooge lady he was pretty much forced to install.

It was something. The Ukrainian government and their boosters have treated Elon like a POS for over a year when they should've said 'thank you for your support at the time of greatest need i.e. the first days' but instead we get stuff just like what I first responded to. Elon doesn't owe Ukraine...
