This is a tough and embarrassing way to find out that the old Soviet doctrine or way they conduct warfare is outdated. But if corruption were not so rampant throughout the Russian armed forces, they would have been more effective. Training is
everything.
If kamel toe gets in, I assume that more taxpayer dollars are going to that meat grinder, and Putin is increasingly more unstable with each new embarrassment from his armed forces.
Trump gets in; he says he will end that war on day one
. So they get a reprieve to rebuild the war machine and fix what is broken (they might have to bring in consultants from Western nations
). But, you know...corruption, so
.
They do have copies (at least some) of the weapons that we send to Ukraine and can develop countermeasures.
This election will be very interesting, just on how it may affect this war.
Just my two cents this Labor Day morning pre-coffee.
