The west generally and the Anglosphere in particular seems to have this tendency to drastically overestimate the capabilities of adversaries and to drastically underestimate their own strengths. During the Cold War, everyone in the west was convinced that the Soviet Union was 10 feet tall, and the west was perpetually on the back foot. It wasn’t until later that we learned that Soviet power was all smoke and mirrors; Soviet industry was decades behind the west, Soviet agriculture couldn’t feed the population without imports, Soviet tech was largely comprised of poorly copied versions of stuff stolen from western countries, the Soviet military looked formidable on paper but was actually comprised of obsolete and low quality weapons systems, and living standards in the worker’s paradise was a small fraction of that in the US and Western Europe. It seems we’ve figured out that Putin’s Russia is in a similar state, but people still seem convinced that China is about to take over the world. It isn’t. Fundamentally, while totalitarian regimes might seem rock solid, they are in fact very fragile and don’t really do anything well except brutally exploiting their own populations and silencing domestic opposition.

@@FHIPrincePeter Besides the fact that the days in which Moscow could sustain millions of deaths are long over, as we know from Afghanistan (which the Soviet Union fled after 15.000 casualties) and most importantly from the last Ukrainian invasion (which got Putin into quite a bit of trouble in late 2014 / early 2015 on account of a few hundred deaths -- so much so that he made military casualties in peacetime a state secret by presidential decree in May 2015), Russia wouldn't last half an hour in a war against the West.

It's the shaping of narrative that's important. They fought back against Nazis outgunned. So many died but they swung into action to defeat the invader/subjugator. Regardless of carving up Eastern Europe and selling raw materials to the Nazis, the narrative is how bravely they fought defending their motherland. It seems it's a different story if you are fighting in defence of your land, or fighting for aggrandisement at the behest of superiors. That line can be blurred though, as quashing revolutions in Czechoslovakia or Hungary could also be spun as defending ideology. Exactly what Russia did in Afghanistan, and what the US and its unlucky allies did in Vietnam. Sadly I fear we haven't yet evolved, and swallow or tolerate war in narratives of national honour. Are we similar to cloven footed, horned, male animals, butting heads for territory and mating rights? It seems so. If Putin had spent a fraction of the cost and effort charming, and opening his country, providing security by ending corruption, think how rich Russia could be with those resources. Instead, he is now the Bond villain, despised and pitiful.

On an interpersonal level, throwing men together and expecting them to immediately work as a cohesive team is ridiculous. America puts men together in a boot camp, isolated from the outside, making them dependent upon each other for everything. Anyone who doesn’t work with others is groomed out. This bonds them and makes them more effective and unlikely to turn on each other. Russian soldiers are strangers to each other. They won’t sacrifice themselves for their fellow soldiers, let alone some vague ideology.

[@tonymills5086]

One of the things that is quite clear in the Russian army they don't have ncos, non-commissioned officers, that keep the military discipline within the units, this is so very important because when the s*** hits the fan troops look for leadership!!! Russia is throwing out a bunch of inexperienced troops and they're getting slaughtered, the Ukrainian army is losing a lot of soldiers too, the only hope I see is the Ukrainian army can hold the southern part of Ukraine, continue to hurt the Russian supply lines creating havoc among poorly trained Russian troops perhaps this will drive the parties to the negotiating table, I believe Russia will claim victory by the territories that they hold at this time, it'll be a tough call, the weaponry that the ukrainians needed yesterday most certainly would have enhanced their bargaining power, and though Ukraine says they want all of their territory back I don't see that happening, unless that Ukrainian army has some miraculous victories, Vladimir Putin simply will not back down except by force, he's like a cornered wild animal, a dictator that will sacrifice young Russian soldiers if the Ukrainian army can hold down the South perhaps you'll be a stalemate

@@tonymills5086 I’m believe Ukraine will NOT cede land. The atrocities committed by Russian soldiers alone, never mind the total destruction of civilian homes and churches and cultural centers requires more than “ok, keep what you took”.

They know from experience that nothing Russia promises prevents it from resting, resupplying, and coming in for another bite. Add to that the Russian statements that only wiping Ukraine off the map will suffice? How would anyone react to that? I believe Ukraine will keep fighting whether the west helps them or not. But if the west doesn’t help, it will be that much harder when Russia goes after other countries, including NATO countries. I’m thinking Putin was sick, but is on the mend.

Moscow's war record :- 1856 defeated by Britain and France 1905 defeated by Japan 1917 defeated by Germany 1920 defeated by Poland, Finland, Estonia and all Baltic states 1939 defeated by Finland 1969 defeated by China 1989 defeated by Afghanistan 1989 defeated in the Cold War. 1996 defeated by Chechnya 2022 defeated by Ukraine In WW2 it was Stalin's NKVD that won the war : officers who wouldn't advance were shot or sent to the Gulags. Millions went to the Gulags, including Solzhenitsyn Moscow's only victories come from invading smaller countries :- a) Hungary 1956 b) Czechoslovakia 1968 c) Moldova 1992 d) Georgia 2008

The media never tire of the 'war fatigue' question, or the 'NATO divide' question, which first, help create them, and second, play right into Putin's hands. The 'war fatigue', as if we could just turn a war on and off, shows to me the degeneracy of the West and the shallowness of our understanding and commitments. I hope we can be better allies than that.

[@jansenart0]

NO ONE ever said the Russians are invincible. The problem is that there are millions of them that they gladly throw away without complaint; this has been the case since before the Tsar.

[@TmackSD184]

Yep. No regard for life. They tend to throw the non European Russians into the meat grinder and keep the "more educated" (relative term) behind the lines.

[@danielanyamele7425]

When fatigue should occur is when Ukraine is losing the control of the war, but now that the have defeated the first objectives of Russia,so USA and Britain can not talk about fatigue since the battle shows that Ukraine counter attacks shows more results, and Ukraine's troops can not be fatigue when you are defending your country, fatigue is not an option, but Russians will have fatigue in due course.

[@geopoliticsjunkie4114]

Speaking of not invincible -The Military Administration of the Zaporozhye region announced the death of 57 officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a result of a strike by "Caliber" . All of their eyes were blue. Some blew this way some blew that way.

[@ThePereubu1710]

I do have a lot of sympathy for Ukraine but so many of their commentators attack Germany's lack of response without taking into account how hard it is, politically (both internally and internationally) and socially, for Germany to turn from nearly 70 years of state pacifism (for obvious, historical reasons) to becoming a belligerent country once again. For a newly elected Socialist Bundeskanzler, leading one of the most complex coalition governments in recent years, to have achieved what he has is a near miracle.

[@fiaskolo]

I think everyone understands that Germany relies on Russian gas. There is however something dishonest and deceptive about making big proclamations of help, but in fact doing very little. Simply keep quiet. Also there is the matter of German efforts to dismantle coal industries of other countries, and at the same time building direct gas pipelines to Russia. Germany has been building up its economy and political influence at the cost of other EU member states. All under the umbrella of so called European unity.

[@achatcueilleur5746]

Russia manufactures weapons and ammunition on equipment and with tools provided by Germany and Germany has NO political or social problems to send everything Russia needs to manufacture weapons and ammunition.

[@JamesC785]

I agree with you ThePereubu - Germany has actually already provided quite a lot & plenty more is in the works. They found themselves in a difficult situation & genuinely tried to avoid putin's aggression through negotiation & trade in an attempt to bring russia into the fold (sadly this didn't work & was perceived as weakness by putin). Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

[@tilmanmai]

@@fiaskolo Did you actually understand what wrote? And Germany is not - for instance - blocking the oil embargo on Russia, that are actually countries who so desperately wanted to get out of the Russian influence zone. Yes, Germany is relieing heavyly on Russian gas but so are the Hungary, Poland, Latvia, Bulgaria, Italy...

[@Yurko001]

War fatigue is only for those who can afford it.

[@bradslowgrove1128]

Henry Kissinger prefaced his remarks with Russia must first go back to the " status quo ante" . This is because the aggressor state cannot get good legal sovereign title to the victim's state 's territory through a criminal war of aggression that are rare not common. There have only been 3 other such wars and none of have ended by a peace treaty let alone one that cedes victim state territory to the aggressor state. Note art. 53 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties for example that binds Russia and Ukraine and means such a treaty is void.. Russia will not go back to the " status quo ante " without a secret deal for Ukraine territory so no such treaty can ever be legally binding on Ukraine no matter how many diplomatic documents it signs and it can take the benefits and legally resume the war for the rest of its territory as a lawful war ruse. So much for this alleged " peace treaty" . All lawful negotiations to end the war are confined to the recognition of the de facto 2014 boundaries in Dombas and Crimea only.. Henry Kissinger was misrepresented on mass globally by the media that do not understand the awesome power of the Nuremberg Charter at the core of the peremptory norms of international law making their overall coverage fundamentally out of tune and context for understanding what is really going on. Media commentary has an appalling history of being accurate in modern warfare. The 24/7 news cycle exacerbates this prior appalling history giving this 21st century media mass ADD. The former defense minister has been misled by media reports instead of looking closely at what Kissinger actually said. This is why Kissinger has disappeared and France, Germany and Italy have changed and are now on message. See how untrained media commentary stuffs everything up and creates false knock on effects that politically interfere with the perception of the war. They are dangerous..

Appears, they know how to fight short wars. The thought of being over presumptuous is dangerous. [ USA, NATO must be playing the same game as 1979 to 1989].[creatures of habit, one can presume]... Russia can be on the doorstep for 30 or more years...while everyone talks hollow philosophical bullsh't online to Ukraine. Their soldiers die without being truthfully and respectfully trained...

A lot of people are completely puzzled, why he has been behaving like this. I am. Because although there are (of course) people clamouring for 'peace at any price' (as long as we don't have to pay it), I don't think, he's making himself more popular overall, with his behavior. I certainly find his behavior disgraceful and incompetent.

[@k.k.8394]

This will be a boost for the Greens and the Liberals in the next election, for sure. The SPD is clearly the political problem in Germany - Scholz, the Schröderians, together with the minister of defense. All of them are responsible for abysmal communication and dragging their feet, instead of assuming a leadership role in Europe. It's not exactly a pretty sight.

I can't admire anyone more than what the Ukrainians have done to revamp and modernize their military since Russia first invaded. NATO members willingly stepped up and assisted Ukraine by offering training in line with the defense alliance's military forces. In 8 years they went from Russia walking over the Ukrainian military to the reverse with Ukrainian forces able to stand off the larger country's best efforts. I have listened to a number of experts and many say Ukraine will win their war. I will continue sending to the humanitarian aids organizations working on the assisting those harmed in this war, in Europe and elsewhere.
