That was from a poster claiming that the winter would affect both sides equally, as they were used to such winters. While conveniently forgetting to factor in the difference between a well prepared for winter side (Ukraine) and a seriously unprepared side (Ruzzia). The above comment (about the Instructor Instructor of the Russian 247th Airborne Assault Regiment who made a video appeal to Sergei Tsivilev, governor of the Kemerovo region.) is only one of hundreds across Russia who are facing the same problems. Since Feb, they have been facing these kind of supply, problems, but in winter, they will prove to be even more deadly. Expect the Ruzzian 200 and 300 nrs to rise massively.
I'm guessing your second biggest risk, after the cold, is your fellow comrades.
Pa I made the point about this same topic but here it is again. People in that part of the world know very well how to survive and in conditions that would bring Ireland ( and the UK) to a dead stop in 24 hrs. Even in temps of -25+, the life goes on, traffic flows, kids go to school, factory's and hospitals work. I know this because I used to live there. And that's all fine and dandy, but in a war situation, and on the front lines especially, all of normality goes out the window. Ruzzian logistics' is notoriously corrupt, unreliable, and undependable. So when Putin is unable to properly prepare and equip his conscripts before they are sent to the front, they cam forget it after they arrive ( where chances are that If they were issued with effective gear, the soldiers already on the front line will steal it from them) And their best bet may well be to see if they come across dead soldier, ( statistically, that will happen....a lot) who by some chance has a bit if better equipment, and take it from him. And that's the reality of how Ruzzia treats s forces.
Almost as important as keeping warm is that winter gear is better camoflage against a snowy background. In green uniforms they will stick out like sore thumbs
Seems staying warm in a hotel is not working out well for some russians in Ukraine as well.
Most intelligent noise's that I've ever heard from Mr. Solovyov.☺️
Jesus wept. Just to clarify, what I said was the winter would suck for both. My point in relation to the Russians was in response to the folks saying they'd be fkd when the weather turned. They won't and to think otherwise is just braindead. They will suffer sure, but they won't be turning tail as some seem to think.
Another clarification, because apparently this needs to be stated 🙄, no I'm not a Russia supporter, as evidenced by dozens of posts in the thread.
Thinking braindead logic is braindead does not equal being a supporter of Putin.
I linked to the video Perun did on the topic, it's well worth watching for anyone interested in the winter warfare topic.
Posting a link to the same video again and calling people who don't agree with you brain dead instead of just calling them stupid does not add anything to your argument in my opinion.
To be fair, you are famously cold-blooded
Read it again and tell me who I called braindead
You called everybody who disagree with you.
"My point in relation to the Russians was in response to the folks saying they'd be fkd when the weather turned. They won't and to think otherwise is just braindead."
Im not saying all russkies will be fu€ked, but big part will be =>That means I'm braindead as well.
No need to wonder about missiles and ranges if true. That could explain the air base and the careless smoking incident back in summer.
Once the hallucinations kick in running around naked or killing each other too. That's what I think happened at the Dyatlov Pass incident with dodgy vodka too.
You’re tragically missing the point.
ill equipped Russian will 🥶🥶🥶 regardless if he learned to shît in a freezing outhouse growing up or not. You think you had a point, but you don’t.
It's actually "ведро дерьма"..
Who told you that?!!!I
More shopping center fires in Fatherland.
War crimes against their own soldiers.
At Zaporizhzhia direction Russian army shelled Vremivka of Donetsk region and Zelene Pole, Novopil, Novodarivka, Malynivka, Huliaipole, Dorozhnyanka, Huliaipilske, Charivne and Mali Scherbaky of Zaporizhzhia region, - General Staff of Armed Forces of Ukraine says in the morning report
Ffs-
Yes DaCor, and I replied that it will not be the same for both sides, and the end report of this video supports that viewpoint, for exactly the same reasons I quoted. ( Your quote:- They won't and to think otherwise is just braindead. unquote) Accusing people of being braindead is that your standard response, when people do not agree with you? Comments like that say a damn sight more about your brain function than anything else.
I spent several years in Russia ( almost 5 to be exact) and I know very well what the winters are like. Plus, I've been in plenty of Russian military bases, and I've seen them in action in the field, in their camps and trenches, and it was not during war games either. It was the real thing, and I still remember what it was like. And that's where my comments are coming from. Its called experience. Where did you get your war experiences DaCor, maybe we met somewhere?
I disagree with your point about there being two different ideologies. Both sides are capitalist, post-Soviet states. One is bigger, though, and has more resources.
Comparing Putin to Hitler, or Zelensky to a clown does not help elucidte what is going on.
Putin is obviously the aggressor here, but he has no plan to send Jews, or Ukrainians, to gas chambers.
So less of the hyperbole, please, and let's stick to what actual facts we can discover while eschewing propaganda from both sides. It's not a football match, and I don't cheer for either side. Some would like to think that if I'm not on one side then I'm on the other. In this case, I'm happy to be on neither side.
Azov aren't a specialist unit? First I've heard of it.
I don't think many of us are going to spend an hour watching what is surely a propaganda movie.
So before, Russian shoppers were complaining about shortages on the super market shelves, now they will be complaining about the lack of Supermarkets?? Now this could be the straw that broke the camels back for ordinary Russians. The war has come to the high street !!🙂
Don't be daft, all armies hate sending soldiers home in body bags. It's why the US couldn't win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. These days it's also the surest way to have a change of government at the next election (and yes, they even do elections in both Ukraine and Russia).
See my post 73300 above: as I said, they don't like risking people going home in body bags.
I agree that it is unhepful, comical even, to compare a leader as great as Zelenski to a clown. He has shown himself to be shrewed, inspirational, uncompromising and charasmatic. Without him, Ukraine's will and ability to fight would be dramatically weakened and I don't think they would have nearly as much International support without him.
However, it is useful to compare Putin to Hitler in the following particulars:
Thus there are striking similarities which are worth exploring with a view to seeing how things will progress into the future.
As to the two ideologies, I think what was meant is that one is an autocracy and the other is a democracy.
Wasn't the main aims of the US war in Afghanistan to take out Al-Qaeda and specifically Bin Laden and in Iraq to topple Saddam? They never intended to annex them.
And do you agree that the US had no business being in either? Because otherwise, someone supporting Russia in Ukraine might point to those actions (and many more like them) by the US as justifying Russia's.
Ah, and regarding Afghanistan - are you sure it was all about taking out Al Qaida? because they sure stayed there a long time, and if Al Qaida was their objective, it seems to have suffered greatly from mission creep.
