Getting all the soldiers and vehicles destroyed or captured so you can start from scratch would count as cleaning, technically speaking.

That would have been Commander, USEUCOM in his brief to the House Armed Services Committee a couple weeks ago. He put the fear of God into some of those reps, and they managed to pass the funding request because of it. He was talking on the timeline of years of course, working forward from the point of "what happens if the US cuts off lethal aid to Ukraine" and he posited that within 2 years Russia would have enough new production online to either win the fight outright or force Ukraine to the negotiating table, and then in the tradition of expansionist dictators with imperialistic dreams, he would probably turn his eyes to ex-Warsaw Pact nations and start planning to carve them up. (In this theoretical scenario, Trump wins 2024 and permanently kills Ukraine aid, and enforces his "Russia can do what the gently caress ever they want to NATO, I don't give a gently caress" claims)

Just to be real for a second that clip shows about 10 vehicles in total. It's not exactly an obvious sea of military aid or anything.

Or actually maybe just the same 5 or 6 vehicles twice.

There have been more and more reports from the Krynky direction of mobiks refusing to attack Ukrainian positions, in almost all cases they got beaten up severely or otherwise dreadfully punished. Their commanders don't care, you follow their orders however suicidal or torture is the least of their worries.

It's within "technically still Article 5" Poland, and even if Russia has the people to surveil the presence of military equipment, they don't have the force projection to do anything about it that far away from any friendly fronts.

I'm sure the commanders are avoiding that fate for themselves when they inflict it on others. Not excusing it, just explaining it.

I didn't expect that at all. It's just, tempter expectations there's not a war winning flood of arms coming into Ukraine just across the border. Hopefully enough that they can weather all the poo poo the Russian's are throwing at them right now while the bulk of it is shipped over the coming weeks and months.

But to your other point yeah you do. There's still a massive psychological element to war and frightening the enemy with the might of your arms is something all armies try to do. Ever seen a military parade? An air show?

It really makes one (or at least, me) when the breaking point is reached, i.e. the abused soldiers use their arms to strike back at the immediate source of oppression instead of being sent into a meat grinder.
