My grapevine is in consensus that this was a trap set by the Russians, to devastating effect...has so far removed almost 20k Ukrainian/NATO from the battlefield and tons of armour.
Russians have ' lowered the bar ' for nuclear weapons usage.

Kinda like their attempt to capture Kiev was a feint ?
Russia did not remotely have enough troops to take Kiev, the mission was to get Kiev's attention, which it did as we know by Istanbul .

Wow they sure lost a lot of tanks, helicopters and casualties just to get their attention. Well it worked. They got Kiev's attention.
So you agree it was a feint?
It was the message "We are serious about this, you will do what must be done".
At the time NATO had built Ukraine into the second most powerful Army in Europe after Turkey...of which the Russians were well aware.....that Russia took a beating at the front of the SMO was not a shock to anyone.

That's a low bar. Our army has been WOKE for at least 30 years, probably more. It is also very corrupt. But that's probably the nature of militaries in general.
Only in the dying West.

No way to know what goes on in other countries' militaries unless one serves in them. I was a contractor w/ the Army 30 years ago. It was unbelievably corrupt. I also did contract work w/ the A.F. at two different bases in the 90's. Seems pretty up and up to me back them.
We cant know everything about other peoples and other places.....but if we have a quality grapevine we can now a lot. A lot of why the West is dying is corruption, which extends to our militaries....the rest of the world seeing this continually confronts the problem.....the Chinese and the Russians have in recent years carried out massive anti-corruption programs in their militaries....the Iranians have at least since the Saddam days been very vigilant against corruption.

You have completely failed to argue your case....yet again.
IT’S THUNDERBOLT TIMEMedvedev Unplugged does know his Latin. But then Russian educational standards are in a class by itself, as I never cease to learn here in Moscow. Commenting on the update of Russia’s nuclear doctrine, Medvedev noted, “This change in our country’s guidelines for using nuclear weapons, in and of itself, may cool the ardor of those of our opponents who have not yet lost their sense of self-preservation. As for the dim-witted, only the Roman maxim remains: caelo tonantem credidimus Jovem Regnare …”All of us who studied Latin know that comes straight from Horace’s Odes. And it goes straight to the point: thunder out of the sky reminds everyone that Jupiter rules. Medvedev’s metaphor is a beauty: the only way the “dim-witted” - Hegemonic and the vassal swamp - will learn is when the Russian Jupiter releases a thunderbolt.

So the bar has been lowered, dumbass, as the thread title states. I repeat;
' Why do you choose to be stupid ? Is it some form of intellectual inferiority disorder ?'

No.
Add it to your nonsense;
These are recent ' Into the Nightsoil's' statements ;
"Sweden is not to the east of the UK "
" There is no such science as paleoclimatology "
" There is no such thing as an unwritten Constitution "
" There were WMD in Iraq "
"There is no "weaponization of the dollar"
"Covid does not kill ."
"It is not possible to have a variant of a variant. "(Subvariants do not exist )
Dumbass or troll ?
Both.
