I wish I can share you guys' optimism for how poorly the Russian military is doing so far. While the attacks so far have certainly revealed a slew of problems on the Russian side, we also know Ukraine's 2nd largest city, Kharkiv, is getting pounded. There is also the 60km+ long convoy of Russian military tanks and vehicles lining up outside Kyiv. Anyone familiar with Soviet Union WW2 tactics know they are just going back to their old playbook now -- overwhelm the opposition by throwing a disproportionately large number of soldiers to get the job done, death counts be damned.
The question that I have in mind is -- does the current Russian military still have the same mindset as the Red Army of old? Are they just going to blindly follow orders, or would they really ask themselves what they are doing in Ukraine?
