[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thing is such a $hit show that so can’t help but wonder if it is all some kind of elaborate trap to make the West think they are incompetent and do the most horrible things to draw us into it thinking we could easily wipe it up and then bring out the big guns. Then they could claim that WE attacked them. However I have no experience in military things at all. [/quote]

What the f are you smoking? You think this is a tv show? You think they are just playing games? They are dying. If nato gets involved the Russians are done. These long columns of vehicles, Russian ships in the Black Sea, etc are all gone. Russians would not be able to move or resupply. Google The Highway of Death and that was 30 years ago. [/quote]

I don’t think it is a tv show. What I do think is that it is suspicious that what was supposed to be one of the greatest armies in the world is turning out to be the Keystone cops. It seems just a bit too easy that they are being so well battered by a bunch the army, some former dentists and farmers in a small country. Putin is many things but he’s not stupid and it just doesn’t sit right with me. Hey I could be totally wrong but could they REALLY be this inept? [/quote]

Yes he could be.  He believed his own propaganda.

1.  Ukraine is not a small country.  It's basically the size of California or Texas with slightly more people.
2.  Since Crimea they have completely revamped their military and professionalized it.
3.  Things like dry rotted tires, expired rations, and mud are not elaborate plots.  They are the direct result of kleptocracy and top down planning.  All of those problems are very common among extractive authoritarian regimes.  [/quote]
