Russia & Ukraine

What do you mean by this, with respect to your statement about China’s “one-child generation?”

Their parents are understandably not happy about them dying (ageing and only one kid to support them) and as people they are especially soft 'little emperors" is the term. In recent years the CCP has tried to promote toughness to counter this but I don't see it working out so fast.

There is quite a lot out there on how one-child has caused problems for the Chinese military.

It is a low-lifer move by Russia, as usual.

Yes, the Russians had the wounded the soldiers at their mercy and their fate in the hands of the Russians. But the Ukrainians offered to exchange Russian prisoners of war for the wounded Ukrainians but you can't make those deals with the Russians because they do not place any value on the lives of their own men. Just not the way the low mind works.

Theres a lot of very crushed senses of Russian military power walking around the Kremlin right now. They went from being regarded as the second strongest military in the world to regarded as a second rated military in less than 3 months.

And let me add that their military shortcomings are not easily fixed. They need a total top down overhaul.

there were no major military conflicts since Vietnam war
we don't know what would happen if US military join the fight
It might be US army is not better than RUssian. We can't know

Ukraine would definetely fold long time ago without US/UK help
Russian fight whole NATO on a 5% military budget
so calling them second rated military despite some clear shortcomings before conflict ended is premature
