If I still drank alcohol this would be a good reason to open a nice old single malt and pour myself a three finger glass. I concur with everything you have laid out. The Russian military has been an abject failure for so many reasons, I don’t think the average Russian has any idea just how badly their revered military has preformed, the generals know, they know that they are sending ill equipped and ill trained men to almost certain death, if their officer corps is anything like ours or any of the NATO countries, this has to disturb them deeply. We and the Ukrainians are facing a lunatic that has no moral compass, what we have been seeing on a daily basis is proof positive of that. There is no way that the Russians are going to win, even if they go nuclear they will still loose, their generals know that, many more people will join the cannon fodder they have thrown into this ill conceived war. So I guess we have to look to their common humanity for them to put a stop to this disaster. One man can not be allowed to drive us all off a cliff, you and I are old enough that if our lives were to end today we would have had a good life and we are going to go soon anyhow, but what of the young that are just starting life’s journey? These questions have to be being asked within the Russian officer corps, they just have to be. I’m not holding my breath but I believe that some of them must be saying to themselves enough of this shit, I hope so anyhow 🙏🇺🇦
