Russian troops are highly "alpha" against unarmed people and peasants.

The backflip hatchet throwing doesn't work against people with the will to fight and the best training.

If the Russians were so "alpha" they show it in weird ways. Human wave attacks. Running over each other with APCs to run away. Raping other conscripts. Getting smoked by grenades.

IDK, that doesn't seem "alpha" to me.

And we are a cartoon. Bennjahminn

We get it. We know you don’t.

The arrogant US military, once the top dawg, is reduced to a cartoon.

Wow, really? I suppose that works when cheer leading the troops. That kind of rhetoric portraying the enemy combatant as cowardly is always used in war. The Jap Nip was characterized as such as was the Vietnamese Gook and we all know how well they fought. The Gooks even kicked us out of their country. The Russians would be the last I would portray that way given their performance against the German army in WWII or against Napoleon and his army.

We know how to put fuel in a fuel tank and plan for logistics.

In OIF we had the problem of units running beyond their supply train because they couldn't keep up over hundreds of miles. See, the Thunder Run to baghdad.

In Ukraine Russian units ran out of fuel because they started bone dry and their logistic units were destroyed by Ukrainian partisans. See, the 40 mile long convoy.

And, btw, you must not be following what’s been going on at Camp Hood, in TX......talking about raping conscripts.

There is a news funnel. If you are okay sitting on the edge of the large end and falling, you head right where they want you to land. And...I didn't hear about the story about Ft. Hood?!

It's Fort Hood, by the way. Not "Camp Hood". I just came from there heading to Mates. Where are there "raped conscripts" at Fort Hood? Please, tell me where.

There are none.

This is a volunteer army, not a forcibly mobilized one.

There are no conscripts in the US Army at Fort Hood.

And yet, Ukraine hasn't yet won, either. Why not?

Great point - if they declare they've won, the U.S. war money will dry up. Of course, they will likely pivot to demanding money for rebuilding and reparations, but if they can continue the war angle, they'll keep getting war money and THEN demand the rebuilding money from the U.S.

There is 300 billion in frozen Russian assets to pay for rebuilding.

Putin's never going to get his money back.

Don't need taxpayer money. Need weapons to put warheads on Russian foreheads. 500k more artillery shells from South Korea are inbound to fuel the next offensive.

Shells from SOUTH Korea? For the Russians? Makes zero sense.

Yes, last summer the US bought 100k rounds from South Korea. Now we just bought another 500k and South Korea is willing to directly (now) send weapons and lethal aid to ukraine which opens up a huge manufacturing base.

South Korea is a massive arms dealer and delivered Poland's k2PL tanks in record time. They have the ability to do what American industry can't right now.

It does make sense. Russia brutalized South Korea and their allies still shoot at them. It's payback.

Now South Korean tanks, artillery, planes, and IFVs are in Eastern Europe to crush the Russians.

The circle of life is weird.

I misread your original comment - sounded like you meant South Korea was supplying the Russians. Curious cat wonders if SKorea has any hypersonics under development. If the Russians and Chinese are indeed as far along with that technology as some claim, carrier warfare is now history.

Doesn't help there are two Koreas.

However North Korea is helping Russia. They sent a bunch of weapons with Prizghozin a while ago on train carts.

Ukraine is fighting the world's second army by itself. It's a smaller, regional power against Russia's large advantages.

Russia declared victory over Ukraine on day 2 of the war. it's now day 426 and Russia is still no closer to victory even after several stinging defeats of their armies.

What other nations are sending forces to Ukraine to fight? I'm not aware of any.

Did the USA claim it won at Midway? No, there was another year of had slogging ahead even though the majority of the Japanese naval aviation and their carriers had been sunk.

Did the USA stop fighting after midway? Also no. See above.

By continuing to exist and being stronger than before Ukraine is winning.
