[@Syzygy_Bliss]

No major military is fighting very much though, so i think you’re claiming too much. If china or the US got serious, you think Russia would outperform them? Remember, Ukraine is sending poorly trained soldiers to fight with old and close-to-decommission American tech. Also, the US greatly constrains itself to not directly cause too many civilian casualties (though if our buddies do it then we don’t care for some reason). Yes, Russia’s doing better than we expected. But that doesn’t mean it’s got the best military on earth, just that it’s military is better than the one of the country next to it, which we already knew had a weaker military the whole time.

The critical difference between the Russian army and its Ukrainian-NATO counterpart is leadership. The Russian fighting force is simply much better led. Take an example: The Russian military leadership, as a matter of principle, doesn't encourage terrorizing innocent civilians, unlike the Ukrainians under NATO's direction. It was the Ukrainian terrorizing of civilians in Donbas that made the Russian government embark on the SMO in the first place. Any army that consistently and deliberately attacks non-combatants (children, women, etc.) will end up losing. Thus NATO and Ukraine are bound to lose just as Israel is.

[@jonathangold2087]

Thank you Nima for inviting Col. Jacques Baud back as a guest. He is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced military strategist, tactician and intelligence analyst! His assessments of the Ukraine conflict are profound and highly accurate, giving us all a more in depth understanding of what is unfolding on the battlefield. The explanations he provided here provide many insightful details , that show great expertise and understanding, of these many complex details that shape the policies being implemented in this conflict, both by Ukraine and Russia. The West has certainly done a lousy job of arming and providing military tactics for Ukraine to use in this conflict. From Col. Baud’s description, the weapons provided were inappropriate for the conditions the Ukrainians faced on the battlefield, and the doctrinal policies taught them by NATO, were ill-advised for the conditions they would be fighting under. Clearly Ukraine was being armed by the West to weaken Russia, not to win the conflict as the West proclaimed. What a tragic loss for the people of Ukraine and their country. It is understandable that the Ukrainians feel betrayed by their Western backers, as in fact they have been! Thank you Nina for having Col. Jacques Baud back as a guest , in your wonderful podcast! He is an incredibly knowledgeable resource about this tragic conflict. We are all better informed having listened to his responses, to your thought provoking questions. You are doing an excellent job, keep up the good work!

[@klaudioabazi4478]

Modern Warfare is not so much about an army being unbeatable in the battlefield as much as successful operational objectives. You can lose 10 tactical battles, but 1 giant operational victory makes it up. The Russian army doesn't need to be unbeatable to decisively win this war, but simply operationally capable and determined in achieving it's goals. Whether Russia should be more brutal, and try to achieve it's objectives faster, that's for the Russian General Staff to say, but considering all of the advantages that Russia possesses, it is not in a hurry. Time will tell whether they're wise or too cautious, but the end result will be the same, Victory for Russia.

[@cestmoi3963]

Since the start of the Cold War, Russia has been studying and planning every combination of conflict. It has a certain advantage, it improves the techniques of the USSR and has preserved the officers' study system. Where the West Point cadet leaves in 9 months as an officer, the Russians leave after 4 to 6 years, depending on the level of study at their entry. The US officers leaving the service are lawyers, the Russians are engineers.

Archibald had been a common soldier but now a journalist reporting from the war on site. The British Generals in India hated the idea of having to go up the mountains to fight those reputedly fierce guys. A deal was made with a bought puppet-Sha (King) of Afghanistan, and Archibald cites a General commenting it, in Victorian English which is why I read it: "- Of this compact, there is nothing else to be said, than that in it the words 'Justice' and 'Peace' are applied in a manner fortunately never before encountered in the English language."

With all that, it was enough to defeat Russia and to finish it off. So, The US figured there was no need to include anything more than what they did.

Colonel with all my respect I believe there is one more point that makes Russia unbeatable .The Russians are fighting their own war whereas the Ukranians are fighting someone else war ,the war of NATO and the west.

Now very curious - 21:35. You gave some junk equipment to your ally even though your are supposed to be neutral nation (Swiss). It burns like candles, none of this matters. Alright, what alternative equipment you could potentially deliver, nuclear?

[@elmowism]

Switzerland didnt deliver weaponry to Ukraine if thats what you mean. We sold our old german made tanks back to germany though since they send theirs to Ukraine.
