Gerasimov is the Russian general who wrote the 2013 paper on hybrid warfare other's called the Gerasimov Doctrine. This doctrine clearly did not cover logistics or last mile delivery. Shoigu is the other clown who were once called "Masters of Putin's wars" france24.com/en/europe/2022…

These Putin generals are history fans. The problem is they study the wrong history. Peter the Great and WW2 instead of Finland and Afghanistan. politico.com/news/magazine/…
A fascinating lesson from WW2 was the amount of hardware we send the Russians to defeat Hitler: 14,000 aircraft, 400,000 vehicles and 13,000 tanks. In all $11.3 billion or $131 billion in today's money. ru.usembassy.gov/world-war-ii-a…
Experts were predicting that even with a best case scenario, Putin's "Shitskrieg" could not move more than 90 miles from the Russian border without stopping to regroup and re-equip. Bakhmut is 105 miles. warontherocks.com/2021/11/feedin…
There are many other historical lessons on why Russia invading Ukraine was a bad idea. But basing the theft on a fictional narrative with a fictional army seems to be the worst political and military decision of last year. theprint.in/world/full-tex…
You might remember in 2009, America had a hard time finding 100K troops for the Afghan surge. Total military numbers are deceiving. Best case, only 10% of a standing military are actual combat ready troops. So Putin's million man army is only 100K. thesoldiersproject.org/what-percentag…
If a nation loses 60% of their fighting force that comes out of their much smaller pool of combat troops. However the military still needs that million man army to function. Putin's claims of adding 150K or 300K to his fighting forces is a fantasy. defense.gov/News/News-Stor…
Gerasimov said that hybrid war "redefines the modern concept of interstate conflict and puts warfare on a par with political, economic, informational, humanitarian and other non-military activities" Putin's war is more than violence. It is about chaos. grid.news/story/global/2…
Politician Yevgeny Primakov also espouses the destruction of the "unipolar" West. An idea supported by Gulf dictators in the UAE's #1922Plan and watched closely by China and India. So far Putin is failing as the EU and UK stay aligned with the US. carnegieendowment.org/2019/06/05/pri…
Sneaky China has used this violent event to replace the U.S. dollar. India is using the rupee for trade with Iran. Russia has been propped by by Gulf purchases of the ruble. Will the U.S. dollar lose it's place as 60% of world's reserve currency? markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencie…
Yes, as Gerasimov preached, the U.S. dollar is weoponized. Many nations who engage in violent fuckery, internal repression or international deceit are punished. Will the dollar survive? Some say gold some said bitcoin... so far the US dsollar is holding on.blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2022…
So the next time MAGATs opine on Fox what we are doing in Ukraine with foreign aid.... smack them in the head with a history book or better yet make them read The Atlantic Charter out loud. history.state.gov/milestones/193… 
Eurowars are typically started by weird people for weird reasons but quickly turn into industrial scale killing machines with no discernible endstate but total destruction. Roosevelt knew this, as does Biden, but uses this opportunity to defend freedom.thoughtco.com/eight-points-o…
