I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

You also have to keep in mind that Putin is insane. He probably thinks that European soldiers wear skirts and makeup, and that they are satanic, so the only thing he needs to do is send some manly soldiers who will wave crucifixes to scare the NATO soldiers away.
He also thinks that NATO is not very united (especially with the US chickening out), so that they won't stick their necks out for the Baltic states which he will proclaim were always Russian and that they should just surrender to avoid the suffering through his online trolls like Belacqua. Also, Ukraine is not some feeble country that you can say "they couldn't even conquer Ukraine". Ukraine has the largest army in Europe if we discount Russia.

He's eliminated any negative feedback, which tends to send things down the rabbit hole rather quickly. Those around him are spouting exagerations of their successes (see Kupiansk) while shoving their failures under the rug. As an ex KGB officer you might think he'd be more aware of this but he's still subject to the misinformation he's generated. At the same time we have reports that Russia will likely collapse in 2027, still looking for confirmation of T55s in the frontline though difficult to tell with the boxes they add now. Whilst NATO is talking about war being perhaps 5 years away. If Russia hits crisis in 2026/27 that would seem unlikely, so either they go whilst they still have capability or not at all. I would hazard that the NATO/MI6/RUSI statements are about detering Putin as Russia goes into the point of crisis.

Ukraine has the largest army in Europe if we discount Russia. I was writing that in comparison to the body of NATO, in which case, yeah "even" is an apt modifier. Also, numbers of troops are not a complete measure of national strength. |
