I never knew until I worked with a lovely Polish girl for the last few years, who I'm still friends with now. She's as peaceful and kind as they come but she explained how the Polish just have the deep, embedded hatred of Russians due to the events of WWII.

I guess it's a similar feeling for the Czechs, albeit for differing reasons.
Aye, my wife doesn't have a good word to say about Russia.
 
I'm surprised that Russia only mobilized 200 000 troops against Ukraine (2nd largest country in Europe by land mass).

Even we (Croatia) when we started our final offensive in 1995 had 200 000 troops in action, and we are only country of 4 million, while Russia got like 140 million.

Yeah I think they want to limit the damage to infrastructure
 
What if he wanted to imprison and murder those in the population who had the tenacity to stand up against them? I sincerely hope, as I believe, you're a WUM.

If not, you're a grade A ball bag.
Look I deal in realpolitik not fantasy battles like you do.

Look at Belarus if you want a prototype of what’s going to be set up there
 
The problem with modern, sophisticated weaponry is that you often need people trained on modern, sophisticated weaponry to use it.

I saw today that the Netherlands were sending stinger missiles: even if they're MANPADs (shoulder launched), they will need people to train how to use them.

It's a few week course to use them properly, so to some extent you worry how effective they'll be, if not just a token gesture. The above tactics may be best.
Ukrainians have been trained on stingers, NLAW and SMAW. the old adage of train the trainer applies as well.

I’m also wondering if we counted back in all the SF that were sent out there as trainers/advisors?
