    Unfortunately Russia is figuring out that they can’t handle high tech, but they can handle lots of low tech.

      Quantity is a quality of its own if you have unlimited manpower, i.e. if you are a low-tech agrarian society with naturally high birth rates and an effectively limitless pool of expendable serfs the Czar can press into canon-fodder service whenever he needs to wage war. Unfortunately for the current Czar, these things no longer hold, and no amount of pontificating about “traditional values” will turn this around by itself.

        To be careful: I am not a supporter of Russia. Let’s be clear on that.

        Agreed he can’t do this forever, but he only needs to hold out long enough for funding to run out, and is happy to spend lives and low tech equipment in the meantime. Look at the losses in avdiivka.

        So for all interested porpoises, he did have unlimited lives and gear

        All we can do is hope trump doesn’t win and whatever Congress is next doesn’t hold funding hostage

        If I had a dime for every time autocorrect swapped to the incorrect form of “its,” I’d have enough to fly to California and drown Tim Apple and Richard Google with dimes.

          If you accidentally change your keyboard layout to italian it will autocorrect all kinds of stuff that makes no sense. Was kinda funny at first and then grew to be annoying
