I bet there aren't that many of the regular army who actually want to be there, never mind the conscripts. Whereas, there is no lack of motivation on the Ukraine side.Comment

It’s been suggested that the Russians are now using the war as a cleansing system to rid them of undesirables. Hence why units are so poorly organised and lack training and supplies.Comment

Yes because the Russians are a bunch of Amateurs. Beat Napoleon, Hitler & nearly the Mujahedeen.
Re Napoleon..... the weather beat him. He was ill prepared.
Hitler beat himself. Thinking his army could fight on multiple fronts. He also didn't count on the Russians happily sacrificing millions of their own poor fighters
They didn't nearly beat the Afghans .... despite all the superior weapons they were humiliated. Have you not seen Rambo 3?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Humiliation? Don't mention the First Afghan War. .
Or the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th.
Talk about being doomed to repeat history.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
