It was tongue in cheek but invasions of Russia are commonplace in history and part of the reason he wants Ukraine
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Invasions of Russia have been commonplace but never successful. Even the armies of Hitler and Napoleon failed and they were relatively greater than any current military.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They weren't greater than current armies though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Compared to other world armies in their day they absolutely were.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, you said current military to begin with

Atrocities aside as a fighting force the wehrmacht is one of the greatest fighting units in history. It took the whole world to beat them
---------------------------------------------------------------------
While i agree with the sentiment, the whole world is a massive exaggeration.

Three countries in the main beat them in the end and they did not fight alone either.

The Russians though missed a major lesson, use meth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is why history curricula in schools need revision. It did take the whole world, or most of it.

Ahhh, key word was relatively.

To expand on what I meant, the gap between those armies and the armies of other countries is far bigger than the gap between armies today, mainly because so much of war is done off the battlefield now.

To quote opposition fans after we won the league "the general quality of European opposition was lower"...

The only Japanese Kamikaze pilot to survive WW2 was called Teriyake. After the war he was known as "Chicken" Teriyake.

"I am expecting this to end with Putin dead one way or the other unless he dramatically climbs down, which he wont"

Will Russia have the manpower to control its people and fight a war at the same time?..

If/when it gets to the people coming out more than they are doing it'll put great strain on his forces!..
----------------------------------------------------------------------

When the Russian people see the body bags and realise that they were being lied to this will all change quickly. Someone will pull the trigger, then they can give all his stolen billions to Ukraine to use to rebuild itself
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They won't see the bodybags.

I think it was the Afghan war that saw russian people turn against the government due to daily showings of bodybags returning home.

They therefore invented mobile crematoriums to deal with bodies...

Well in essence all invasions are successful until they're not. It's not the invading that is the biggest problem, it's the holding much like Russia will find out in Ukraine.

The Mongols were unquestionably successful in taking and keeping large portions of Russia though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Truthfully only about a third of Russia is worth keeping anyway, it’s just a whole lot nothingness
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sitting on massive amounts of natural resources.

That and the massive numbers who returned addicted to Afghan heroin.

And that is going to take a lot off explaining when the missing don't come home!..

They do as ashes.. but pallets of urns are a lot smaller than bodies.
