It could be that all the dead weight got killed off and now they have the best general of all time there... But one of the other commanders was killed by a sniper soon after arrival, and it's awfully hard to win a war that way. The way I see it any of their generals who doesn't die should be able to command the army of mighty Russia to kick little ol' Ukraine's butt any day. Historically it's usually the Goliath who slays David in battle. I've been wondering from the start what's taking them so long? Why didn't the Russians drop a bunch of FOABs (Father of All Bombs) with 4 times the power of a MOAB? Or use any other method of overwhelming force by and end it, instead of dragging things on if Russia is what they try to project to the world, and not just a big puffed up paper tiger?
