  1. this was exactly like the old Missile Gap where the US looked at what russia was doing, where it was, and extrapolated and then it turned out it had plateaued instead of increased its efforts

  2. However much it contributes to their current situation I think we underestimated how badly corruption cores out a fighting force because we can't imagine it getting so bad that your lowest conscripts are destroying multi million dollar weapon systems so they can afford to eat

  3. I really wish the politicians saying Biden failed Ukraine by overestimating russia would shut up, this was the good mistake to make, nobody wants to be 1940 france thinking they're superior to their peer. Afghanistan is an entirely other bag, and they're being disingenuous about their response especially if trump had been in office since biden was forced to follow through the plan he was left, and the only other option would have been to keep staying there which would have made the aid to ukraine way more difficult to do since we were tied down in afghanistan
