   "Western generals turned out to be less competent than their students from the Armed Forces of Ukraine
   
   The failed "counterattack" showed all the shortcomings of the combat training received in the West. Suddenly, the Americans and Europeans came up against the simplest fact: they had nothing to teach the Ukrainians.
   
   The entire combat experience of the West today consists of counter-guerrilla and counter-terrorist operations in the Third World. The United States 20 years ago fought against the army of Saddam Hussein, and this exhausts their experience of fighting an enemy who is armed with something serious. Now Ukrainians complain that they are taught to detect a roadside bomb and look for a lone grenade launcher in a residential building, but they do not explain anything about how to behave under attack from a howitzer battalion and overcome half a kilometer of a minefield covered with machine guns and mortars.
   
   But the teachers themselves have nothing to say about this. The Taliban didn't have Hurricanes. Somali pirates did not have Caliber. Even Middle Eastern terrorists could attack the heels of pickup trucks stuffed with TNT but did not bring dozens of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles into the field.
   
   In addition, Western military training is geared specifically towards their armies. For the Bradley to show its quality 100%, US Marines under the command of US officers must ride in it, they must be covered from the sky by the US Air Force, and US logistics should stand behind them. Apart from them, this is a good, but not decisive piece of iron. The Sarissa pike becomes a game-changing weapon only when used by the Phalanx of Alexander the Great. Otherwise, it's just a five-meter drill."

     @BobsonDugnuttHB They only learned this now? This was what people were saying in spring of 2022. Look at every aspect of american warfighting, it’s honed for one purpose only: Fighting an occupational war against farmers in the middle east.

     These guys had what, 3/5ths of a million men die before they raised their head and asked “wait….do you guys REALLY know what you’re doing?”

     (they don’t really care anyways, they just like going abroad for ‘training’ because it’s fun and not ukraine)

     @Groomschild @BobsonDugnuttHB Pour 10,000 white fathers into a blender to learn “ hey maybe we shouldn’t go into minefields unprepared”
