    From what I heard that seemed to be mainly two factors where the situations were different than most conflicts the Western forces have been in in a good while.

    1. Lack of air support. The air is still contested over Ukraine.

    2. Minefields everywhere

      1. No offense Germany, but you gotta fix your military.

      A lot of the Ukrainians complaining about poor training / equipment are the ones getting German gear it seems. That’s… okay. Some training is better than none, and Germany is sending good tanks / equipment after all. But Germany definitely is underperforming IMO given its economic level of output and overall strength of the country.

        I mean, we kinda made sure of that, as a general collective global community? Considering, you know, “last time”? 😅😬
