Read up on how the Russians fought in WW2. Russia has executed 153000 of their own soldiers, among other things. They defused mine fields by forcing penalized soldiers to walk through them. Nothing has changed.
You don't need to believe propaganda, just look at the map of the invasion and ask yourself how is it possible that a far superior military on paper is losing so badly.

- emteycz 4y agoIn all post-Soviet countries they will tell you "Nas Mnogo" (lit. "there's a lot of us") is THE Russian strategy. It used to sound scary when we thought manpower is everything. Today, with drones and things like Javelin... Seems more funny than anything else.
- igravious 4y agoDo you think it seems "more funny" to the grieving relatives of dead Ukrainian and Russian sons?
- emteycz 4y agoNo, but it wasn't uncommon to have pro-Putin/pro-Soviet Russians tell you this phrase on the street (I live in CZ) - as an insult/threat, usually the next sentence was something like "Czechia belongs to us too and we will soon return". That's what would sound very funny now, especially if they delivered it in the usual manner (drunk rage).
- wiseowise 4y agoFrom the military perspective, in a morbid sense - yes.
- karencarits 4y agoI think it still sounds scary, as in a scary disrespect for human life
- emteycz 4y agoAgreed 100%, I never understood Russians themselves using it and being proud of it.
