Putin choose winter because every country that ever fought the Russians failed because of the winter.Russia has all the gas and oil it needs to maintain a perpetual war machine and a nuclear arsenal to back it up if it ever fails.Russia are effectively undefeatable using military means.Also their people are more resilient to hardship than western societies so winter would prove harder on our soldiers and citizens because we are soft whereas they are hard muddafuddas.If we engage in war with Russia over Ukraine which is literally ran by neo nazis then Europe will be the first to fall and after that anything goes.

It's all fairy tales

1. You probably did not serve in the army, and do not understand how it all works? Winter is chosen only so that military equipment can move normally without getting stuck in mud and puddles. This is the main reason for choosing such a period for OFFENSIVE operations, when it is necessary to organize a guaranteed rapid movement of army units deep into the territory where military operations are planned to be conducted.
2. Of course there is oil and gas. But the economy itself is resource-based, backward, and objectively corresponds to the level of third world countries. Exactly the same economy that buried the USSR, and then Russia in 1998, when they then begged the whole world to give them at least some food. And oil and gas, at this time, has not gone away

3. People are not resistant to difficulties - if you look at the regions outside of Moscow or St. Petersburg, where it is totally difficult, you will see that these "heroic fighters with difficulties" are almost all totally drunken and marginalized beings. They just do not know how to deal with difficulties, to change something around them, they just sink to the bottom. You confused "fighting with difficulties" with "habits of a slave who lives at the bottom and has no right to change something."
4. Neo-Nazism, Nazism is just a hallmark of RASHISM. And his supporters in some countries, cultivating the Nazis, the Reichs and the "great Fuhrers" and other abominations. Or can you give a reasoned, verifiable, example about the heyday of neo-Nazis "managing" Ukraine?

)) Just a request - not hysterical Kremlin slogans, but facts, and do not run away from the answer, do not be silent, it will be very interesting to continue this topic!

Ground is also hard in dry summer months so your point is moot and makes it obvious you aren't qualified on the matter any more than some noob on this forum ;-) Russian air power could literally roll ukraine into the ground in less than 1 week along with electro and communication zap.Soldiers on the ground are merely grunts so they don't need to be much more than pawns.Are you implying that you need to be a successful individual with an IQ above 80 to point and aim?

Stop acting like you know any more than I do ;-)

))))
Did you serve in the army? Just be honest?
Tell us how the fields and forests of the northern and eastern parts of Ukraine look like in summer or spring or autumn? Or do you want to say that the shock units will move along the tracks?

About Russian aviation - thanks, I laughed heartily. You also forgot to give the argument "we will reach Kiev in 3 days" - we have here part of the eastern fields fertilized with the corpses of such impudent soldiers of the "strongest army in the world"

Yes, and just on topic - today a batch of Stinger systems arrived in Ukraine - hello to Russian terrorist pilots. It will no longer be possible to bomb defenseless civilians, as in Syria!

By the way, the Russian concept of today's offensive war, and you apparently do not have this knowledge, is as follows:
1. air-missile strikes, for the destruction of communication nodes, the destruction of air defense systems, warehouses, etc. + EW influence.
2. then, to secure the territory, shock armored units with infantry go. And so they become very dependent on the environment. I don’t know where you live, but we have a landscape (we take the territory where Russian troops are concentrated) containing a large amount of rather loose soil, with a high level of groundwater, or even wetlands.

For example:
On the video - the day before yesterday, the Russian "strongest army", a tank column, which, in your opinion, can easily move on unfrozen ground, near the border with Ukraine. An attempt to walk on that very unfrozen land.

This is exactly what this problem looks like in reality ...
And you can tell more stories about yourself, "specialist"

If you are from Ukraine then you should realise you are just a pawn for NATO because they couldn't care less about your country getting ran over by the Russians. The reason they arm you to the hilt is so they can stand back and let it kick off among yourselves.The Russians adopted the hard posture because of your leaders aspirations to join NATO and then host their weapons systems on Russian border. Also once your "leader" has NATO membership it means that if he tries to retake Crimea and the Russians engage then they are obliged to engage on your side and nobody in any NATO country wants anything to do with your shit because that would mean all out nuclear war.You know a LOT less than an amateur like I do it seems so thanks for clearing that up.
