6. THIS - is the army Trump told Zelenskyy, "You're gambling with World War III!"

Russia has lost TEN OF THOUSANDS of tanks, personnel carriers, combat vehicles, trucks, and recently - 1/3rd of its strategic bomber force.

Couple that with Russian military deaths of 250,000* and total casualties at over 950,000.

And it’s “leadership?” A joke at the top, but at the unit level, corrupt, incompetent, poorly trained and equipped, with every-man-for-himself morale.

The Russian army is a spent force.

* Perspective: The United States had 58,000 deaths in Vietnam over 12-years. Russia, in Ukraine, has 431% more - in 1/4th the time.
