The Ukrainians are better trained, theyre just having problems with the fact that the Russians are using unique technology like "mines" and "planes".

Russians are employing this dastardly new technology called "mines" which no army on earth has encountered before, least of all those of the NATO members like France, Germany and the UK.

If I'm remembering right that commentor went on to give a very optimistic prognosis for the counteroffensive. Arguing that because the first line of Russian defences near Robotyne had breached: Tokmak will be captured imminently, putting the entire Russian logistical network under threat and severing the land bridge to Crimea, which will then lead to the total collapse of Russian military power in southern Ukraine. It's a nice story but one completely divorced from the actual reality of the counteroffensive.
They're really putting themselves at risk by buying their own bullshit.
According to reddit libs only the first line is actual fighting conscripts then every line behind that is just to shoot retreating russians so once you break through the first line you can casually stroll to Moscow.
Gonna be really hard to explain why they haven't made any progress 6 months after "breaking the line" in the future.
omg I was about to say this was a friendly fire dunk post because I read what they said and assumed they were posting with regular irony instead of sincerity lol. I've said essentially the exact same thing but sarcastically, "vastly superior training" -> assume constant air superiority and no mines against an enemy without productive capacity because you already leveled their country (see air superiority)
On the one hand, having these guys (le redditors and le lemmylords) in charge of the US military would be funny, because they would just order soldiers into the meat grinder ("don't worry, our superior Xbox controllers will be more than enough against those 'mines' and 'missiles'"), but on the other hand, they're stupid enough to do something really life-threatening to the planet (like casually using nukes).
