That's the libertarian assessment, and I can understand that. But myself being an old Cold War throwback, I get a tingle up my leg from the reports of massive Russian casualties. The invasion was poorly thought out, and carried out without any forethought of proper logistics, equipment, and armor. Let's face, it, the Russians are having their asses handed to them on a platter, in spite of the fact that they're basically waging a war on civilians.
If anything, this is showing that Russia's military is not as strong as we here in the West thought it was. They're basically Nigeria, except they have snow, vodka, and nukes.
