Dougie93 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 this is total war the Russians are not preserving infrastructure, they are destroying it blowing up power stations, oil depots, everything the Russian commanders are unrestrained, bombing everything in sight, deliberately targeting civilians, executing prisoners scorched earth the 40 mile long column heading for Kiev, I think might be most of 6th Combined Arms Army then on the eastern border at Kharkiv they are bringing two Army's now it looks like 1st Guards Tank Army reinforcing 20th Guards Combined Arms Army I said they needed a minimum 400,000 troops to take Ukraine they seem to be snap mobilizing something like that now the Russians know they are in trouble, so the gloves are coming off they are just bombarding Kharkiv indiscriminately, targeting the civilian population deliberately this is just making the Ukrainians fight all the harder 1st Guards Tank & 20th Guards Combined Arms Army's are at the gates of Kharkiv right now they are in battle formation, guns unlimbered, ready to assault but the Ukrainian resistance is so fierce two whole Russian armies are afraid to go into the city and fight them street to street so the Russians are reducing the city to rubble now Biblical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 in order to win a war of aggression, it has to be quick & dirty & over fast like Crimea in 2014 fait accompli the war is over before it even starts this is the opposite of that this is like World War Two where the war aggression fails then becomes a vortex which drags them ever deeper into the mire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I do think Biden & Bojo & Trudeau wanted to start a war in Ukraine to distract from their domestic woes but they thought it would be 2014 all over again they were not expecting this this is way bigger than the war they thought they were going to get this looks like the opening phases of World War Three now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 there is an Ukrainian Territorial Defense Force they are just civilians who have been handed AKs they are forming up into battalions but none of them have any real military training at all certainly nothing even approaching Canadian Army RCR Battleschool leader Instructors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 like when I joined the Canadian Army we were the best small army in the world the quick reaction force in the Fulda Gap in Canada I am a junior NCO trained to senior NCO standard but in a country mobilized for total war all the civilians, women, children, old people too ? I would be General Officer qualified in that context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 how many Ukrainians know the 21 steps of Battle Procedure ? how many Ukrainians know how to run an Infantry course ? how many Ukrainians even know how to conduct a Company Attack ? the average Canadian Corporal is better trained than most Ukrainian officers now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Putin is off the rails he is Ivan now this is totally unrestrained Soviet Red Army doctrine targeting civilians deliberately, kill them all indiscriminate shelling of civilians in their homes whatever the motivations for the operation this has turned genocidal now so just saying as a professional soldier who could make a difference you have to think hard about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TSS- Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Russia is a shithole but it is not a hopeless shithole like most other shitholes are. Namely, given their vast resources it is quite remarkable that Russia is a shithole in the first place. In fact it should be the world's richest nation with the highest standard of living and where everybody would want to live in. Yet the reality is exactly the opposite. Russia has been cursed with being governed by corrupt crooks. First the communists and now the Putinists. I can't imagine what Russia could be like if it were ruled by sensible people.

Dougie93 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 put aside the Government of Canada when the Jews tried to flee Nazi Germany to Canada what did the Government of Canada say ? "one Jew is too many" then they sent them back to their doom so the Government of Canada was evil then as it is now but nobody in Canada ever fought against industrial mass murder for its own sake, on behalf on the government everybody who fought in World War Two got screwed by the Government of Canada too but what veteran of the Second World War have you ever met who said he was fighting for Mackenzie-king and the Liberals ?
