Russia’s 'Demonstration Army' Is a Red Flag for U.S. Security Force Assistance

Don't listen to Our Idiot president and his minions. Climate change is not the most important and biggest existential threat. We should be taking the money away from climate change and adding it to increase the size of our navy, increase the competency and size of our other forces and say foxtrot uniform to climate change!

Why foxtrot uniform to climate change? Because if we end up fighting a limited nuclear war with Russia or China or both, we will have twenty years of slightly cooler weather, damaged crops and famine and all the money that we wasted on climate change will be for nothing AOC other stupid Knuckleheads don't want to tell you this!
It's interesting that Russia doesn't really have much military experience. They haven't fought a real sophisticated enemy with tanks, infantry and Aviation in decades.

All Ukrainian men are expected to stay and fight in Ukraine.

All of Russian military exercises are choreographed to please those Russian officials. There is no initiative it's all staged. The tanks fight too close together. They use a lot of conscript/drafted troops who get replaced every year ( one year mandatory service) so you have a lot of novice soldiers but with no experience. There are active duty regular forces with experience. The problem is much of the the experience they get is all choreographed. Russia has lost probably half of its best men and equipment in the last 5 months.

I like what was said in the article:

"The circumstances and type of operation in Ukraine were different. When it came time for Russian soldiers, officers, and generals to adapt—to quickly find expedient solutions to problems like operational fuel shortages and unexpected Ukrainian resistance—they too often hedged, foundered, shut down, or fled. Poorly trained and ill-informed troops found that the basic technical skills they had honed in snap inspections and demonstrations were insufficient for the diverse challenges of war.

Russia’s northern offensive in Ukraine collapsed. The purpose-built Soviet-era myth that Russian forces could or would execute brilliant, Blitzkrieg-like, semi-autonomous deep-penetration operations has been shattered.

Now, in the grinding attrition fight in the Donbas, the Russians have reverted to an old Soviet technical approach to warfare: Smash every square inch of ground with artillery, allowing poorly motivated infantry to edge forward ever so slowly at minimal risk".
