Russian President Vladimir Putin said Europe "has no peaceful agenda" and "is on the side of war" just before meeting U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
It’s wild how you think your interpretation of history is water tight.
America has never been invaded and has never had to defend it’s territory with the life of its people. Neither has Canada.
Russia was fighting for its survival against Napoleon and against the Third Reich. Massive militaries with a singular focus invading The Borderlands (The Ukraine) and crossing into Russia. Those campaigns were massive existential threats. Russia never attempted to invade Vietnam with superior air cover the way the US did.
You can’t compare American battle tactics to Russian tactics when the entire context is fundamentally different. Did Russia invade Afghanistan? No. Did it use human wave tactics when it intervened in Czechoslovakia? No.
So then what actual examples do we have? Napoleon’s invasion and Hitler’s invasion. Both existential wars of defense.
Imagine blaming a country’s military strategy for its soldiers dying under the worst invasions the world has literally ever seen.
