Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Can we offer this Ukranian solider a scholarship?

Putin said his goal was demilitarizing Ukraine. Killing a ton of Ukrainian soldiers is a good way to do that. Occupying cities doesn’t accomplish that.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

PGOS expected them to move like seal team 6 into Kiev and then the English Channel in a few months if we didn’t intervene.
Everyone expected them to take over most of Ukraine. Then likely Moldova, Khazakstan, Georgia, etc.
Are the Russians engaged in a war with Moldvoa, Khazakstan or Georgia at this time?
Even your boy Biden was telling him to GTFO out of Kyiv on the next jet.
Why did Russia do a full scale attack on Kyiv, including helicopters sending in their best paratroopers to take airports around Kyiv, if they did not want to take Kyiv?
Did Putin just feel like sacrificing his best trained special forces for shits and giggles? The tanks tried to get to the airports to relieve the troops and never made it - so damn near everyone died.
Give me a fucking break.

"Western analysts also didn't account for the reform of the Ukrainian army since 2014, relying too much on "anecdotal studies of Ukrainian capabilities from 2014-2015," said George Barros, an analyst on Russia and Ukraine at the Institute for the Study of War in Washington."
...
"Most of the Western expert opinion was based on the narratives Russia has been promoting for the last 30 years," said Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova in an interview with VOA. She said these narratives, which portrayed Russia as a mighty military force and Ukraine as a weak society that would welcome Russian troops, "originated from the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire."
Markarova said the Western thinking also was influenced by the recent experience in Afghanistan, where President Ashraf Ghani fled the country as soon as the Taliban threatened Kabul in 2021. But President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his government stayed in Kyiv and millions of citizens rushed to defend their country, forcing Western leaders to re-evaluate the situation.

Russia has been harassing damn near everyone that is a neighbor and former Republic since Putin came to power. They invaded Georgia in 2008. They invaded Ukraine. They had plans to invade Moldova after Ukraine (as revealed by Lukashenko) and had plans (leaked) to then oust Lukashenko and de facto take over Belarus.
But yeah, its really going out on a limb to suggest they wouldn't do the same thing in the Stans, Georgia, Armenia, and other former USSR footprints....
