    I do not consider the russian military a professional military anymore, the personnel and institutional knowledge loss is way too deep.

    It is rather closer to say russia has the largest mobilized untrained militia on earth, a militia almost entirely on the edge of descending into a mass human rights crisis from catastrophic logistics issues and shortages.

        I mean Russia had a whole communist revolution and they still turned it into a bootlicking contest some things are just cultural requirements

          That’s a communism thing, not just a Russia thing.

            Soviet Union was never a communist or even a socialist state. Tyrannical oligarchy with slaves, casts, kings, you name it. Disregard for human life is cultural for them. Traditional values.

                I take it you’re not a fan of democratic republics because North Korea exists either?

                I mean, if that’s an actual example of a Scotsman it certainly doesn’t sound good.

                It’s not like people can just go around claiming to be things they aren’t.
