Russians are famous for not knowing how to operate in Russian winters.

Pretty funny. There was a winter last year too lol and Ukraine didn’t make any advances there (although that winter was warmer than usual). Then there was the spring offensive where Ukraine also made no advances and the arguments were that they were waiting for snow to thaw etc etc. Now apparently this winter is going to be it and everything they wanted to end for the spring offensive are going to help them.

they were waiting for snow to thaw

Weird, I distinctly remember media saying that the thawing (“rasputitsa”) was what was preventing the offensive. Or was it earlier? “Russians are waiting for the mud to freeze”?

When Hitler’s General Staff were planning Operation Barbarossa, they gave themselves 4 months to crush the Red Army. After the first winter, they would run into significant logistics and manpower issues.

And yet, they still invaded the USSR, fully confident in the supremacy of the Third Reich and that the inferior Slavs - who could not even make anything more complicated than a lightbulb - would instantly crumble from the full might of the Nazi forces.

The fascist mentality never changes.

This is just like Russia invading Ukraine! We just gotta give them more stuff and let Zelenskyy kick in the Russia’s door and the whole rotten structure will crumble upon itself!

There are people who honestly think exactly like this and it’s a bit concerning

It’s even more funny when you’re in the know about which dipshit said the line about kicking doors and collapsing houses and the libs all go straight without being scratched
