  26.  @oconnor6456  40k soldiers with air support and artillery can easily take a city of 5 million. A much smaller force took a much larger city in 2003. You might have heard of it. The US forces amounted to 30,000, whereas Baghdad was over 8 million people with a 45,000 defenders. You talk about “anyone with the slightest touch? in military education" without knowing basic recent facts of modern examples. I just happened to be in OIF1 in 2003, so I know a little bit about warfare, having studied it from the 1970s-present with a library and deployment history that far exceeds anything Russia has done. So given your metrics, it makes it even more obvious that Putin was absolutely planning on taking Kiev, and failed miserably. After getting his face kicked in, he shifted over to Donbas to try to save face and gloss over the fact that thousands of vehicles have been lost, with over 10,000 soldiers KIA. Diversions are a basic strategy that even the most incompetent generals have used in warfare. The ability to adapt and maintain logistics to the fight while letting competent leaders work in their space is what most armies never master. Russia has neither the competent commanders, the logistics, or the strategic planning and adaptability because of 6 major brain drains throughout its history since the Bolsheviks destroyed Russia from within. Anyway, on the Eastern front in Ukraine, I see it differently, where Russian forces will be defending and losing ground. Now that the Ukrainians taste blood and see how incompetent and weak Russian forces are, they aren’t going to hold back.
