Putin makes almost no progress in Ukraine compared with Stalin’s WWII success, says Finland’s Stubb

1. I’m no couch commando, but what I read is that Russia’s army has this rigid style where it’s not flexible, and that’s why all these higher level commanders are getting killed. They have to be where the danger is.

   Ukraine is a more western, NATO style, and that is more flexible and more efficient and just better, that’s what the news reports said.

   Russia’s military looks kind of incompetent. Having prisoner conscripts and stupid stuff like that doesn’t help

2. Well sure. Russia had men back then. And reliable equipment.

3. Guess 20th century tactics doesn’t work well in the 21st.

4. Well yes but Ukraine’s army and civilians are still dying for no reason in almost 2026 ffs

5. Quite clever this one.

   Not an outright childish insult (they just wash off Putin’s back) but going direct for the balls.

   He knows Putin quite admires Stalin and wants to be like him, so he’s basically giving the opposite of a backhanded compliment, whatever you’d call that. “You’re not even as good as the bloke you admire, you can’t even get that right.”

   Bravo this man.

6. They certainly are making progress cleaning ruzzia out of unwanted citizens using the meat grinder. One would think to win a war they should send their most fit for battle, but they send people they want to be rid of. Culling the dumb, weak and unproductive, I guess.

7. every time this guy says something, it’s some kind of disgrace.
   why did the finns elect him?

8. Finland to Putin: You’re a little bitch compared to Stalin, Vlad.

9. So everything is fine /s

10. Putin should do what Stalin did. Ask America for weapons and give them to Ukrainians.

11. As the situation around Pokrovsk worsens, I am seeing more stories about how Russia isn’t winning fast enough…

    Fact is, when this started the Russian was a military force prepared to fight yesterday’s war; it was top heavy, overly bureaucratic and slow to respond. But this has changed. It started before Wagner’s success around Bakhmut, but that showed the Russian command the power of small group tactics, etc (though some didn’t want to see it). Now, from what I read, Russian units can call in missile strikes directly without having to go through a long, slow chain of command – the kill chain has reduced tremendously. They have also de-centralized drone teams and rather than battle into cities head on, they are using small infiltration teams to get in behind the Ukraine lines and cause havoc. The lines are largely defended by territorial army soldiers who are not prepared to fit the Russians in close quarters. So, Ukraine deploys HUR forces and other special ops to clean them out. But as soon as they arrive the Russians go into hiding under the rubble of the many bombed buildings. They know Ukraine is not going to deploy these troops to hold the line so in a few days/week they are pulled out and the Russian go back to doing what they do – this is how it was explained by a Ukraine soldier I watched on Reddit (TG post).

12. Stupid comparison.

    The 3rd Reich‘s supply routes had been much longer than those of Ukraine and it‘s been fighting against the western allies simultaneously.
    Additionally Stalin was directly supplied by the US as well.

    So of course he’d advanced much further with his Red Army of more than 10 million soldiers at once than Russia has in the past three years.

13. WTF kind of comparison is that?

14. Vlad the Failure

15. Not having a functioning navy will do that to you.

16. The delusions of pro-Ukraine people is genuinely astounding and I say this as someone who is pro Ukraine. Just compare this comment section to what Ukrainian soldiers say on the ground and you see how delusional it is. Like that last time I’ve seen this level of disconnection from reality was when Russians tried to claim that Kyiv was a feint.

17. Why would you compare total war armies and military tactics to regular warfare?

18. well good thing you moron .. what an asinine thing to say ..

19. The difference is, Stalin had the resources of all the 15 satellite states and aid from allies.

    Now most of them have gone independent after dissolution of Soviet Union and Putin is stalled trying to swallow back one next to its border.

    He thought Ukraine will be easy picking. 😛

20. You know Finland are saying this just to fuck with Putin’s ego. I love it.

21. Pootin has been pootin his pants since he invaded Ukraine. I’m stunned that he hasn’t fallen off a balcony by now!
