Fascinating thread that partly explains why Russia is performing so poorly; their communication methods (they are using civilian radio, which btw you can hear yourself)
Imagine if they didn't have nukes... They wouldn't be seen as a threat at all to Europe.
I bet Taiwan is sitting a bit more comfortably after this... The prospects of any action against them looks a lot less likely now, with an even stronger position as an island, and against an even weaker (but larger and more modern) military.
