They have no fucking idea how modern wars work. Their understanding of battle comes entirely from WW2 larping and video games. Hell, just listen to how they talk about the counteroffensives. They thought Ukraine was going to magically reorganize their decimated military and push all the way to Moscow as if they were the Rohirrim in Lord of the Rings. No thought to logistics, ammunition, nothing.
Totally, and it’s been absolutely hilarious to watch. The funny part is that anybody who’s played RTS games like StarCraft could immediately see the problem with logistics, and reconstituting lost units. Of course these aren’t the kinds of games most people play. :)
