[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh.....they sent in a bunch of teenagers and early 20s somethings (kids) conscripts with crappy supplies and weapons to serves as fresh meat to be turned into ground beef.  They were used to soften up the Ukraine.  Russia's advanced weaponry and elite divisions till haven't really been deployed yet.  People shouldn't get confident at all that Russia has been 'struggling'.  They are just getting warmed up, so I wouldn't extract a whole lot from the first week of combat. [/quote]

Why, though?  Why would they send their worst troops first?[/quote]

This will be a question for the ages. High on their own supply (propaganda) seems the most likely, combined with bad intel about the Ukrainian ability to mount a resistance. Or the people that knew this would be the outcome were not allowed to get that message to Putin. We've all heard that he is isolated and only seeing a few advisors. Maybe no one had the guts to tell him the truth.[/quote]

Hassan Piker (Hassanabi) had [b]Chelsea Manning[/b] on his show (you can see it on YouTube).  I don't know how much you can take what she says for the truth since she's a traitor to the US but she basically said that Russia just doesn't have the war machine that we have.  She claimed (exaggeration?) that we have 100,000 cruise missles just sitting around and that most of them will rust out before ever being used.  Meanwhile Russia doesn't have those types of stockpiles of ammunition waiting to be fired.  They're using what they've got but they don't spend a gazzillion dollars a year on weapons like we do.

Amazing the amount of totally irrelevant people that come out of the woodwork at a time like this to provide a viewpoint that anyone with a Twitter account can find in three seconds.[/quote]

This. Manning was a specialist, literally just above a private, who spent a grand total of three years in the Army. She is not an expert on anything. [/quote]
