I wonder what war looks like in their heads. Is it a fps shooter? A HOI campaign perhaps? Do they seriously believe soldiers just charge at each other?
It may be related to what space exploration looks like in their heads.
A vehicle lands on a desolate planet, serenaded by LE EPIC HANS ZIMMER music, and amid the BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM, humans transcend and become godlike and win the science victory. Roll credits.
As someone who occasionally plays Advance Wars competitively, anyone who's played a map with snow knows how much it stops offensives. These people are below a children's strategy game at this point.
EDIT: These people don't even know that Putin will just activate his CO power and make all the Ukranian units lose 2 hp and lose half their movement due to the snow.
