Russia and Ukraine

[Thumpalumpacus]

I'd say that is a good way to waste men on the battlefield if you ask me; even though Russia is big as I said and has a lot of manpower, or is at least supposed to.

Well, that's the focus of their effort: human waves, trying to overwhelm the Ukrainians, who simply do not have the numbers to fight in the same style. You see the same issue in the Korean War with Chinese mass-attacks against UN forces much smaller and more concerned about avoiding casualties, and they brought us to a standstill.

It's not like they have a lot of modern kit or a lot of talented leaders. I think even if the Russians win on the battlefield they will lose the inevitable insurgency, and this war may presage the dissolution of this version of Russian governance.
