Russia’s fabled war ally ‘General Frost’ turns on Moscow. A favorite Russian military myth is that winter is always on their side. But thousands are freezing at home.

Winter is on Russia’s side when someone else invades them, not when they invade someone else. Who gives a shit what the weather is like in Russia when all of the fighting is happening in Ukraine?
Rumor has it they are eating their pet hamsters.
Didn’t help them in WW1. And without Lend Lease in WW2, Germany would have rolled them back to east of the Urals.
This winter advantage is like every other Russian myth – nonsense wrapped in drunken chest thumping.
Is that why their soldiers get blanketed in frost as their corpses huddle in trenches? Is it so that when they master necromancy, they can have frost zombies?
General Frost favors whichever side has better logistics and morale. It ain’t Russia in this war.
