Rotten state, rotten leadership, rotten army
Russia doesnt invest in Logistics.
From were get this figure dighead
Russia has always had a weak army no matter how strong y’all think they are
Is it really true??
I know what Russia's problem is they keep taking land away from the Ukraine. You can tell all you need to know by looking at the map. Nothing but propagandist web site.
All the money over the years under Putin's rule that should have been spent on defence has been salted away by Putin and the oligarchs. The country is further behind than the chinese.
So Russians needs kommissars back
Because it’s a top down leadership system. With little to no coherent plan . The fact is you have to have to join operation between air , infantry,armor, artillery and seapower. You put these parts working in concert it will make or break the engagement.
Mouth piece of the Rothchilds! Its the tribe supporting the tribe! Russia's armed forces are some of the best in the World. The Economist is supporting ZELENSKYY for tribal reasons!
3 months later Russian army even weaker now. Ukraine is literally kicking their butts. Just a matter of time until they fold now. Russian Army is no longer feared anywhere in the world.
What do you say imbecile you still fucken morons make another one on volume to sell your fucken imbecile
Putin: hmm how come we didn’t take over Ukraine yet. Me: hehe you weak
Great/true story,book Titled-"Cowboy Mafia 🪴🌿
A lot of bulshit and propaganda!
LOL. USA and Europe and in general west is just one huge funny propagandist and they are the most clown like nations on this planet. They will do anything and lie about anything when it comes to their own loss and losing in anything and especially like a war. Only the weak minded people will really believe in what the western propaganda is saying about Russians, North Koreans, Chinese and Iranian countries and the people of those countries. LOL if Russia's army was weak, then why are they continuously pounding ukraine and all the west is still helping ukraine to be able to stand on its feet and fight back. If Russia is weak, then why is Russia still fighting against the whole west and of course NATO and still showing that no one can stop them? LOL do you have any answer? Lets not forget and have open eye and brain that Russia is fighting alone and is still capable of destroying ukraine and the whole Europe. Stop these jokes and be more logical and realistic.
Russia is weak, Russia is evil, and Russia will be defeated but Russia will not lose this war with the west and their master Israel.
At first there were mistakes. Our "peaceful generals" pushed their inept sons into general positions in peacetime. So they failed the operation. But they were quickly replaced, now do not expect that Western countries together with the United States will win in Ukraine. The more you help Ukraine, the fewer territories will remain for Ukraine. I remind you that we have only contractors involved in a special military operation, who are three times less in terms of the number of military personnel from Ukraine.
Оригинальный текст. Перовое время были ошибки. Наши "мирные генералы" протолкнули своих неумелых сынков на генеральские должности в мирное время. Вот они, и провалили операцию. Но их быстро сменили, теперь не надейтесь что западные страны вместе с США победят на украине. Чем больше вы будите помогать украине, тем меньше территорий останется за украиной. Напоминаю что у нас на специальной военной операции задействованы только контрактники, которые в три раза меньше по количеству военных с украины.
This video didn’t age well 😂 Ukraine is getting whipped and NATO weapons eliminated
Freakin' unstoppable. Keep advancing

The Economist – If the Russian army is so weak, how come they winning?.. You do not know, but Russia has 20% of Ukraine territory!.. Lol
