  1. Let’s be real and in all due respect to retired Lt. General Herling, Putin is a master at disguising his real intentions. We are being told a fairy story most of the time and Prigozhin, Shoigu, Grazmov are all on a short leash and they know they have to follow a script or pay the ultimate price. Putin is feared and that’s why he is obeyed to the letter. I am playing devil’s advocate because we are being spoon-fed that the Russians are a bunch of clueless, imbecilic paper soldiers and we had better realize that this is a war going on and Russia has enormous reserves compared to the Ukrainians. No one could agree more that what we see and have seen on the battlefield thus far from the Russian side has been a lack of professionalism, equipment and training missing for the soldiers on the front lines and poor leadership, but there is one thing we have to remember and that is Stalingrad, because when the Germans under General Paulus misjudged the Russians and were surrounded, the price they paid was steep. Paulus surrendered the 4th and 6th Army with 100,000 men. 5 years later after the war had ended only 5,000 Germans returned to Germany.
