Want To Know Why Putin's Army is Doing Such a Bad Job in Ukraine?

[TrollBuster9090]

Because, as is the case in all 'strong man*' dictatorships, promotion in his military is based on LOYALTY rather than merit. Eventually, you end up with an Army that's run by the Dear Leader's loyalists, and other suck-up opportunists, rather than the best people for the job.

The United States spent 70 years after WWII building the most professional, and least political Army in the world. If Trump is going to politicize in now, he'll end up destroying all that work. If I were a career soldier, I'd be pretty damned pissed at this orange faced jackass right now.

*Footnote: I put 'strong man' in quotes, because dictators are not strong men, they're cowards. Being able to defend your ideas and political philosophies in the public arena of a democracy takes strength. If you don't have that kind of strength, you take the cheap way out, and have your political rivals poisoned, shot in the back, or thrown out of windows, the way Putin does. He's the very definition of a coward.

1. A not so flip answer: Because Puteen knows Drumpf will let him take it without winning.

2. Trump's goal is to damage the US military.

He works for Putin.

Putin will bring down the US military without firing a shot.

3. So odd that so many military and retired military still stand by this guy.

I will never understand it. Voting this guy in is nothing but a danger to all of us!

4. They assumed Trump's hatred and disgust were only for the people they hate.

When in reality Trump despises everyone. We are all suckers and losers in his mind.

People have to learn things the hard way.

[Hope22]

5. And we all will!

I keep waiting for my family members to wake up but they don’t. They will take this man with them to the end. When that comes they will only hate the left more!

7. The people of Germany and Japan didn't learn the lesson until their countries

had been totally destroyed by the Allies. They fought to the bitter end until they were destroyed.
They literally had to build back from the ground up. It was only then they realized how wrong
they had been.

8. Chilling!

During the * years I was known to say that my mother would turn me in as a liberal traitor for a dollar bill. Here we are at the edge of disaster and she sits in memory care today lost to the world yet if her memory came back for a day I’m certain she would be right back in the fight. What a pitiful waste of human beings.

9. Yes to fight so hard only to be on the wrong side of history and morality.

And to betray your own family and country.

If there is such a thing as karma, it will not go well for them.

10. It's early and my brain isn't fully up. Are you saying your mother would

be fighting in support of Trump?

If so, I get that. My crazy mom died 2+ years ago. One year she gave more than her entire income of that year to RW charlatans. (People like the tele-evangelist who was going to "blow" covid away)

[Hope22]

11. Yes, To her last breath.

My sister is a Trumper as well. I have checked repeatedly to make sure that she was not requesting absentee ballots for mom. I wouldn’t have put it past her voting for mom who is unable to comprehend most things. . I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. I understand the sorrow and frustration! People who prey on seniors….well there is a special place for them!

6. I find

The military has become political. They all watch Faux News. What can we expect?
