The propaganda has been so dumb. They tried recycling all the tired shit they used against Arabs living in a desert for decades. They were saying Russians didn't know what toilets and roads are and how they're uncivilized farmers living in mud huts on dirt roads

So imagine how much more efficient they become invading a nation that has roads and they don't have to slog through mud and brush. Not so fun fighting savage barbarians that didn't grow up in luxury with modern amenities is it? They restructured all their war machines and training around fighting an insurgent enemy with no sea or air power and I guess just hoped it would work against an army exactly like their own?
