Yeah, doesn't look like the brutal and efficient Red Army anymore, they look like a B-tier regional power with a lot of problems. Which is what they are.

This may be slightly deceptive, because they don't seem to be sending their best and they've also had their hands tied by their own ROE (the Soviets would just have flattened cities and murdered all resistance by now), and most Euro armies are weak, with low morale and poor availability of critical planes and ships.

But it's not completely deceptive. There's about zero chance they could defeat Nato, even if they didn't simply get nuked. Poland by itself would be a huge problem for Russia, and of course it wouldn't be by itself. They'd have a posse including late-gen Leopard and M1 Abrams tanks, Typhoon, Rafale and F-35 fighters, tons of artillery, cruise missiles and specialized anti-armor weapons like Brimstone, and the US, UK, French, Spanish, Turkish, Swedish, Dutch, Danish and Italian navies hunting down and sinking any Russian surface or subsurface vessel that tried sneaking out of the Baltic or Black seas. That's why they're paranoid about Nato.

Fulda Gap is closed permanently, if we're gonna have Cold War 2 it's going to be a low budget crappy remake of the original with occasional nuclear cock teasing.

We financed the Soviets during WW2 lol.

Though the Russians did flatten Chechnya in the 1990s and lost.

The thing about blowing shit up, is that you create rubble for your enemies to hide in.

The only time it makes sense to do Dresden is to show the enemy population that they are fully fucked and we just going to kill all of you for the lulz, we have no plans to go into Dresden, just blow it to shit because fuck you. That is why.

Whereas Putin was around for their adventures in Afghanistan and knows how much killing civies led to hell for the Red Army. He does not want too much bad blood.

Can coke even prevent its production and sale in Russia? They product most of their products around the world locally usually under licence rather than one central factory. If they recinded the licence for whoever produces it in Russia (assuming they can under the contract for this sort of event) then who they going to go crying to if they don't stop production?

I think Coke centralizes the production of the syrup that bottlers use to make Coke. So not sure what they could do, but last time a Coca-cola branch got cut off due to war was Coca-Cola Deutchsland in WW2 and they ended up inventing Fanta.

The EU still relies too much on the US for military support. At least this war is showing that maybe taking defense more seriously is a good thing. Also, I think other countries (especially Germany), should pay their fair share into NATO, because for the most part, it’s not as useful as people make it out to be, and is a money sink for the US.

I don't think the hyper positive "were totally winning" propaganda is as good an idea as they think. True you don't want your military and civilians thinking they're screwed but the super positivity has two major problems

1. The army and civilians think twice before taking super risky/suicidal actions, after all you're winning why would you throw your life away?

2. A lot of the boots on the ground know it's not going anywhere near that good so lose all faith in what they are being told. Ever been in a failing company where everyone knows it's failing but they keep trotting out the CEO to give big motivational speeches about how well the company is doing? Yeah, that's when you start updating your CV.

The messaging needs to be positive but realistic.
