Quote History Quoted:
I have a co-worker from Ukraine that served in the Soviet army. He said he feels sorry for the Russian soldiers because he knows how unprepared and poorly trained, they all are but at the same time hopes that Ukraine prevails and that he is very glad to be in the US right now. He has family in Odessa UKR. He said his father was Russian and his mother was Ukrainian. He said it must be terrible going to war against people you know are your relatives and thinks that morale of the Russian soldiers is very low.

We were talking about this today. I saw a claim that the average Russian officer received $550/mo pay for deployment. Imagine getting told that you had to leave your wife and kids to go drill on the border, during winter, for $550/mo. Then, you are told that you have to invade this country with people you might be related to, but that they all support you coming to liberate them. Yea, your rations are expired and outdated...not a ton of fuel or supplies, but it won't take long.
First city, they start throwing Molotov's and several of your buddies die. You hear that every country that you have ever heard of is sending missiles that can kill you from miles away, yet all the civilians have guns so you cant leave the BMP. All of your guys are 18 and have one month's training. Now, the money you're saving up for a new tracksuit/gold chain and $550/mo just dropped 30% and is going to keep falling. Your wife can't get paid from her OnlyFans account and your iPhone needs an update but Apple won't let it go through.
