The Ukraine-Russian War according to most Medium “War Journalists"

From Ex-veteran, “my father was from military intelligence”, and everyone else.

  1. The invasion was “unprovoked".
  2. Russian soldiers are dying like flies. For every Ukrainian soldier casualty, Russian loses 100 (or 1000). Whatever the numbers, it’s a huge multiplier.
  3. Everyday Ukraine is gaining more soldiers.
  4. Everyday Russia is losing soldiers not only due to being shot down, but many are running away, leaving tanks, planes, etc for Ukraine. I.e. Russian soldiers are under-trained, lacking disciplined, and are cowards.
  5. The Russian economy is in the slums and will never recover.
  6. Russian command and control is centralized and ineffective.
  7. Russia tanks are obsolete.
  8. Russia airborne units are obsolete.
  9. Russian weaponry WWII old.
  10. Russia is running out of ammo (every month for the past 1 year).
  11. Russia is spending $xxx millions and losing them immediately.
  12. Putin is dying of cancer.
  13. Putin’s authoritarian regime means his generals overstated the military capabilities.
  14. NATO is a defensive force and thus expansion to Ukraine is fine.
  15. The war will end in 2 months (every month for the last 1 year).
  16. Russian soldiers are stealing toys and cooking pans (from a photo that looked staged).
  17. The west is supplying Ukraine with training and weapons much more advanced than Russia. So Russia will never win.
  18. Putin only threatens nuclear warheads because he is losing.
  19. Blah blah blah and all centralized around incompetence, stupidity, and “unprovoked".
