#1 They are just chomping at the bit to start a new war. They're really pissed off they had their Afghan war taken away and they want another one, pronto.

Anyone taking bets? Who thinks the same generals who couldn't win against herdsmen with AKs are going to knock over Russia, an advanced military who can actually fight?

#3 It is worth noting that back in 2015, Ukrainian Army officers considered their coms hopelessly compromised.

I can't imagine, even with help from NATO, that has improved.

#8 It is worth noting that back in 2015, Ukrainian Army officers considered their coms hopelessly compromised.

Weren't they catching an artillery barrage 30 seconds after anyone turned their phone on?

Remember that gal who skypebooked herself purposefully avoiding reveille? That group is now leadership.

I'm not sure that discipline gap is attainable under current culture and/or training, especially when we have the girls training squads doing competitive tik-tok dance challenges.
