For those interested in looking deeper than "Spock is a Putin Lover" and who are interested in realistic assessments of the battlefield by people who might know something beyond the view prevalent here of the Russians as inept cartoon villains.

Linked is an article about US special forces training of Ukranian soldiers with the most telling pull quote to follow.

>>>"Among the chief lessons he’s taken from Ukraine, though, is the speed at which innovation must occur. Weapons used in Ukraine must make a big impact on the first day they’re used, he said. By day two, Russia will be working on a counter-measure. "<<<

Very interesting article. You missed the true pull quote:

>>> The calls don’t stop when the Ukrainians return home to fight, VanAntwerp said. The trained-up units get a phone-a-friend line back to 10th Group, allowing them to reach back for advice when, say, facing a tough objective.

They would ask “what would you do if you were us?” he said. <<<

I hope VanAntwerp is able to answer in 30 seconds.
