Lets look at the conditions inside of russia. Russia's air defenses are stretched very thin right now. And if you don't believe me, look at the amount of oil refineries destroyed, and the fact ukraine can strike 600 miles into russia.
Not to also mention, the only warfare russia seems to be able to do is meat wave tactics. For those who don't know, its sending hundreds of thousands of soldiers to get mowed down by machine guns.
And don't forget what's happening around belgorod inside of russia, russia is using border guards as if they were trained army.
Weird that we don't have any videos of hundreds of thousands of Russians walking into machine guns.
Weird how the nazi generals claimed the same thing, despite no mention of that in the extensive soviet records released after the coup.
Yes, let's look at the conditions inside Russia. The economy is growing faster than the G7, and Russia is outproducing the west 3x in terms of stuff like artillery shells. Meanwhile, there is zero evidence that Ukrainian attacks on refineries have actually achieved anything. Last I checked Russian oil exports are still going strong.
There's also zero actual evidence for the claims of meatwave tactics, this is just the racist asiatic hordes narrative westerners keep clinging to.
And not sure how Russian border guards repelling attacks at the border is misuse of border guards in your mind.
Maybe read and try to learn from what people with a clue have to say, as explained by an actual professional in the article I linked instead of clinging to your delusional fantasies.
Ah, yes, Vershinin, the first "first director of the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library, from 2009 until 2018". Solid source.
Imagine being so lost.
Ah yes, Lt Col (Retd) Alex Vershinin has 10 years of frontline experience in Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. For the last decade before his retirement, he worked as a modelling and simulations officer in concept development and experimentation for NATO and the US Army.
Imagine being so lost indeed.
I'm not questioning his experience but rather his objectivity. Something you should try every once in a while looking at the trash you comment here.
If you're questioning the objectivity of a former NATO officer with a ton of experience then you're just grasping at straws.
Care to provide sources? So far you only quoted RUSI and what he says about himself....
Oh wait, nevermind, I just realized I don't really care
Provide sources for what exactly? Are you questioning his credentials? Do you even know what RUSI is?
