... to Russian literature:
Russian literature consists of suffering. Either writer suffers, or protagonist, or reader. If all three suffer simultaneously--then it is a masterpiece. In every difficult situation always read Russian classic literature--it is even worse in there.
Pretty much sums it up))
... cannot wrap their brains around the kill ratio in SMO. Here is yet another (among myriad) visual anecdotal video evidence. Combat episode--one Russian stormtrooper, 3 KIAs + 2 POWs on VSU side.
... what is ironic is that many US Vietnam War songs are used by Russians, sometimes "reimagined", to show a bloody essence of what US (and Europe) has started in 404. The only song which will not be applied in terms of sense (only as a symbol) is Fortunate Son. Russians do not need to be drafted--they volunteer. In this case, any sons of Russian "elite" who do not--it doesn't matter, their numbers are infinitesimally small.
... many times, I will repeat it again--the US lost the arms race, period. While there is a lot of talk using all those buzz words, here are some visuals from SMO.
There are still people in the West who cannot accept the reality of this West ... Losing Military Supremacy, much exaggerated to start with.
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
Had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax", said the night man
"We are programmed to receive"

It is both rot and rut and it cannot be changed. I am not talking about literal inability to most of the US military operating with scales--most of them cannot wrap their brains around actual, not fake, production numbers of weapons by Russia--but also with technological development. As Army Times reports:
In line with the president’s ambition to construct a “Golden Fleet” — an expanded Navy with a new line of Trump-class battleships as its centerpiece — more than $65 billion would be allocated to procure 18 warships and 16 support ships. This represents the largest shipbuilding request since 1962, officials said. When it comes to the evolving battlefield, the Pentagon is slated to make an unprecedented commitment to drones and the systems designed to counter them. $53.6 billion would be earmarked for autonomous drone platforms and contested logistics, while another $21 billion would be reserved for munitions, counter-drone technologies and advanced systems like the Collaborative Combat Aircraft and MQ-25. The department is also seeking to commit $64.5 billion toward developing next-generation munitions systems, including missiles, armored vehicles and helicopters. The package encompasses systems such as Patriot and THAAD interceptors, Precision Strike Missiles and the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle.
This is rather remarkable--doubling down on systems which in reality deliver NO new capability. THAAD? Seriously? A legacy system with an excellent (and defenseless) radar and shitty interceptors designed to "catch" SCUDs. Golden Fleet--a collection of fat prestigious targets in real war? Precision Strike Missile? A better guidance iteration of ATACMs--what war this military is getting ready for? We all know which one--money laundering. The plan for continuous obsolescence with some buzz words--Collaborative Combat Aircraft or autonomous drone platforms--sprinkled for better effect in Knesset 2.0. Mindboggling. This all is a result of sheer military incompetence and corruption. Germany also issued her "strategy" till 2039. Russian military sustained heavy casualties (hernias due to Homeric laughter) after reading it. I speak about it in my latest video.
... do not recognize calamity for NATO in 404. Here is a map of the situation in Kharkov Oblast, but also at the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk strong area.
