  1. That’s exactly what they were expecting, hence why Russian troops were issued parade uniforms and police units where also part of the invasion force.

  2. Yes they under performed. The initial stages of the invasion were just awful. Thing is a lot of that is because everyone overestimated Russia’s war making abilities, msot of all the Russians themselves.

  5.  @thesayxx that’s why markings on both sides are plastered on everything.

  6. Generally lower than having modern heavy equipment does. It’s nice to have but not a hard requirement like having modern jets or artillery or tanks is.

  7. No one ever claimed Russia was an American peer. And winning by air power is still a win. Only an idiot fights fair.

  10. Yah, and they do issue out those maps. Thing is they’re all at best 40 years out of date.

  11. I’m sure you have a source for that.

  12.  @klown463  yah really doesn’t change anything I said. Russias initial war aims were the entirety of Ukraine. Hence the attacks from all directions. And Russia doesn’t control all of the Donbas either, and are being pushed back on that front by the Ukrainians. And no Ukraine will exist regardless. Even if Russia “wins” their territorial gains will be minor. And no Ukraine controls Kyiv. NATO isn’t in this war.

  13.  @OAPHarmerHerrStarmler  when did that happen?

  14.  @PBVader  so you’re making shit up, got it.

  15.  @muhacnt7988  and yet I can’t find any articles that aren’t from before the war. Hence why I’m asking for a source, which you seem to have, or at least claim to.

  16.  @PBVader  nope. As I said I tried, and can’t find it. Only thing I can’t isn about conscription of women is from before the war. If you can’t be bothered to support your own claims that’s on you. In any serious academic circles for example you make a claim you have to back it up with a source.

  17.  @PBVader  yah I’m not asking you to post a link. Just merely state the article name. The other guy enthroned that CNN and BBC reported on it, yet I looked and can’t find anything from them on it at their own websites. That really doesn’t bode well for your claims. Because right now it just looks like you guys are making it up.

  18.  @jimsmith5148 yah they’re not exaggerated when you start digging into the radioactive dirt.

  19. Seems the Vatniks are out in force on this one.

  20.  @stonewallsquad3343  why is that always brought up as an argument to justify Russian war crimes? It’s bad when the west does it, and it’s bad when Russia does it.

  21.  @ike8236  you’re right the Russians have been killing civilians in Ukraine for a while.
