He says: "Yesterday Sam flew the plane and said that just 8 people were sitting in the trench, just 8 khohols [Ukrainains], f*ck! And our men go there by the hundreds, and they are not even capable of taking a f**king thing!"
Ukrainians are a force to be reckoned with when they dig in.. I will never forget how long the Cyborgs lasted at Donetsk Airport. The Cyborgs' nickname was coined by russians trying to cope with how disproportionate their losses were against dug-in Ukrainains with small arms.
This was Putin's biggest mistake. He expected the Ukrainian people to just roll over but history has shown over and over that people fighting for their lives can be a fearsome force against an army that would rather be anywhere else.
He then says that when a unit of 20 men attack a Ukrainian position only “two or three come back.”
None come back, because Russian commanders are starting to execute soldiers that retreat.

"Snipers and machine gunners are sitting there, and that's it! There is absolutely no one else there!
8 vs. hundreds, no wonder Russia thinks they can take the village. I would have too.
Unfortunately, it looks like the tactic of going in one by one like a row of ducks through a minefield, is a pretty dumb tactic as far as military blunders go.
Is putin dead? Is any of this worth it? The russians are too scared of their own dictatorship that they'd rather die in Ukraine than fight their own dictatorship. I have no empathy for them because of this.

Ukrainains are tough as hell.

Considering he himself likes to use the "cornered mouse" analogy a lot, it's almost surprising how foreseeable L he took.

It's uncanny how the black knight skit perfectly summarizes Russian military doctrine

Propaganda is a hell of a drug, especially in a place without freedom of the press
