    I remember reading from 5 star reddit armchair generals that their militaries weren’t intended to be fighting guerilla warfare, which is why their oh-so-humanitarian-totally-never-target-civilians militaries struggled so much against guerilla fighters in their wars against Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. They instead said that they were designed to obliterate traditional militaries in uniform such as those of their current state department designated enemies.

    For all the “Russia’s a bunch of poor commies still using USSR era equipment”, sounds like NATO and its proxies had a wakeup call when this time they’re on the receiving end where they didn’t have superiority in firepower, on the ground and the air.
