Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

the problem is that cosplay tough is easy to fake on a screen, while real strength is a quiet resolve to get shit done. it might not fill out a muscle shirt, but real ones know the difference.

Just like the Greek’s swooned over their high T muscular (possibly gay) warriors, right before the low class weak common soldiers in the Roman Army marched right across them. Impressive warriors win hand-to-hand in single combat. Soldiers when wars.

Like the British Army in the Peninsular Wars in the early 1800s. “What wins battles?” “The ability to stand in line without breaking and fire three rounds a minute”. Not pushups.

1/ Russian warbloggers are applauding Elon Musk for being sympathetic to Russia. They suggest that he crippled Ukraine's Starlink/Starshield connection for fear of Russian retaliation, dislike of the Ukrainians, and a desire to make Ukraine pay more for using it. ⬇️

Unfortunately, Ukraine might have a difficult time holding out if they lose access to defensive measures via Starshield and defensive missiles such as Patriots.

They swooned over a Russian recruiting ad to mock our 'woke' troops. An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. The ad was the toughest thing Russia fielded.

I recently saw where Russia is recruiting lots of troops from Africa Is any effort going into educating those populations about life expectancy after signing up for that gig Could Russia just run out of troops?
