In their defense according to the media it’s been a completely one sided war and ukraine is just losing ground because thousands of unarmed Russian soldiers were doing human wave attacks.
You know, the exact same reason nazi Germany said they were losing.
i remember a while ago bbc ran a story about how russians were reduced to attacking ukrainian fortifications with shovels because they’d run out of guns and buried deep in the article it said something like “the Ukrainian government has not stated where this engagement took place and the BBC has been unable to independently verify it”
You have not paid your shovel subscription fee. This tool will not function until you make the payment. Error. Shovel disconnected from the internet. Please try again.
The propaganda has been so dumb. They tried recycling all the tired shit they used against Arabs living in a desert for decades. They were saying Russians didn’t know what toilets and roads are and how they’re uncivilized farmers living in mud huts on dirt roads
So imagine how much more efficient they become invading a nation that has roads and they don’t have to slog through mud and brush. Not so fun fighting savage barbarians that didn’t grow up in luxury with modern amenities is it? They restructured all their war machines and training around fighting an insurgent enemy with no sea or air power and I guess just hoped it would work against an army exactly like their own?
There was a thread recently where people were unironically parroting “human wave attacks” and it all just felt so deeply unserious. Like, if Russia really was doing that doesn’t that just imply how wildly inept the Ukrainians are if they can’t even overcome a tactic that was solved the day the automatic weapon was established?
The human wave attacks imho are an exaggeration of a real phenomenon with the Ukraine war. Obviously it’s dumb to think Russia just sends dudes out to get cut down, but it was a legitimate strategy, especially earlier when Wagner was doing a lot of the fighting, to send men out to intentionally draw artillery/small arms fire in order to reveal enemy positions for counter batteries. Any western nation would have done the same thing given the situation.

Lmao at the BBC trying to age shame an entrenching tool.
You're just mad that Russia doesn't have access to our sophisticated modern shoveling technologyYou have not paid your shovel subscription fee. This tool will not function until you make the payment. Error. Shovel disconnected from the internet. Please try again.
Please insert a genuine HP shovel cartridge before shovelingIt’s almost like a shovel is a shovel.
I guess you haven’t heard of Elon Musk’s heckin’ epic bacon chungus SPACE SHOVEL.
(Actually a trowel in a plastic sheath)
I have been owned
Damn these unarmed human wave attacks be poppin off
Yea you’d think “we keep abondoning positions to people we claim don’t know what a toilet is” would be a pretty tough thing to admit.
Which does not speak very highly of the actual situation they’re trying to not admit to.
Enemy is both weak and strong, etc etc

Westerners see war like it’s Lord of the Rings or Marvel. Zero sense of reality.

Weird how the billions of dollars we’ve sent them haven’t been able to equip them as well as soldiers in WWI.
