Justification is what they needed and it it was delivered on a silver platter. Russians are intelligent, strategic thinkers, or don't people notice how many chess grandmasters come from Russia?

Completely agree, Russia left those thin forces there so it could be seen by a KH-11 ( or something else) and then relayed that information to the NATO-Ukrainians on the ground. Ukrainians couldn't help themselves and fell right into the Duma's trap. Now they're going to be up to their neck and Russians.

As a veteran who served active duty and reserve/ National Guard. I can say that many of those serving in those capacities are not combat ready or experienced. Many of them have never even served on active duty other than for basic training exercises part time. Their were only about 20% of the people I served with in those capacities with actual combat experience.

Just another point of view to help put this whole thing into context. Disclaimer; I don't like any war and do not take sides in this conflict.
