I read about the successive attempted reforms on Wikipedia. And, unfortunately, I don’t think Putin has an effin’ clue about military organization or structure, units or formations, tactics or strategy. He has to trust the opinions of the incompetents he’s surrounded by! It will be, truly, mind-boggling if Putin’s Russia is undone by this unnecessary misadventure!

The Russians can learn from their mistakes if anything. Several pages back there is an article written by ex-PLA seems convincing for me. Their actual BTGs is actually decent, the problem is Russia can't afford many of them, and making everyone adhoc BTGs is clearly not working. BTGs being heavy on big guns light on logistics proves to be inadequate for long distance maneuvering.... no doubt they're gonna have to work on that.

And lets not kid ourselves, Russia is not gonna collapse from a little military misadventure, they practically do this every decade

Whoever said that the US government would make up whatever they wanted about the phone call was 100% right. Look at the title of this article:

China Indicates to Biden it Won’t Send Weapons to Russia​

Anyone who's read the transcript knows that was not an accurate assessment of the conversation. Now we know why Putin calls them "an empire of lies".

Also interesting to note it's the top post on worldnews in reddit.

Hence the Brandon lies begins.

Lack of funds seems to be the main culprit. I'm not sure if Putin suffers from 'emperor's new clothes', but we know that the GDP of whole Russia = Guangdong province.

I can’t say that I share your confidence in Russia’s ability to adapt!

So, we’re having a virus pandemic (the US will surpass 1,000,000 deaths within the week), a war between the two largest countries in Europe, and now, as a result of both, it seems that massive starvation is a possibility. What next, locusts, or an asteroid strike?
