Do this sound like another little place in the Mid-East?

Because Russia has not committed the use of the entire military force. There are times when I feel that Russia is performing a sleight of hand. Of course, with the current amount of equipment, weapons and ammo that Ukraine has received, that certainly has a play in it as well

There are many reasons, most obvious, a couple not so much.

Weapons and funds provided by the west. Covert experts in the field related to the provide equipment. Definitive evidence of strategic/operational experts providing guidance on how to combat such a force. THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

Russia I’ll prepared tactics and procedures, no will to fight at the ground level. No depth in Russias leadership, along with poorly trained military leaders and units. No strategic planners qualified to mange such a large front. No support from the people of Russia, less so mow that there is a call up.

This call up will only amount to more death and less support. They are calling up men who are not trained and have little to no experience. It’s sad but true, Russia will inflict sone damage, likely more to their own ranks than to the Ukrain. They are leading lambs to slaughter. Hopefully the Ukrain can withstand the untrained hoards.

It is clear that Russia has the same doctrine as during the cold war. They do not have the size and Breadth to fight the front in mass.

Sorry drained, this is a mess.

Since I am more than a bit cynical about the accuracy of the information coming out of Ukraine, I like to look at what comes from the other side of the fence. Generally, I figure the truth is somewhere in between. Something I ran into on Substack that is interesting. Read at your leisure.

Because tons of NATO weapons and equipment are being funneled in with NATO also conducting training of Ukrainian forces.

On top of that, Russia has not deployed in force and has not used its more advanced aircraft or armor. They could be peppering Ukraine with missiles from behind Russian lines and they are not doing that in significant numbers.

This may be that Russia is experiencing procurement issues and has let their stockpiles dwindle or that they're not fully committed and were hoping Ukraine would fold like Georgia in 2008 and Crimea in 2014.
