A video that has not been verified independently by CNN appears to show a Russian combat instructor pleading for more supplies for his trainees. Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling says the video is another example of Russia 'failing miserably' to build a modern army. #CNN #News
Retired general says video of Russian combat instructor shows another failure by army
The Russian combat training manual is a French cookbook…beat to a frothy mix!!!
Being sent to Ukraine is a one-way trip for most Russian soldiers. Thank God I don’t live in Russia. 🙏
@ra5928 would turkey allow accession of Finland and Sweden.Geopolitcs don’t be so naive.
@Peter Lamin – What? The reason Finland and Sweden are joining NATO is because they are next door neighbors to Russia. I think you need to ask that question of the people that live in those countries. That would make more sense.
@Peter Lamin how many profiles you got troll boy?
@Human Beings R Thinking Beings TROLL
@Peter Lamin already happened deadbeat
Why does cannon fodder need protection it’s a waste of money
Himars fodder, now. It’s their sacrifice. For the Fodderland.
@handmadehearts “Fodderland” I love it!!!🤣🤣👍👍
@Luke_SkyWanker Thank you. I’ve been using it for months since I had that realization. Please pass it on! Slava Ukraini!
Russia can’t even afford to buy their soldiers simple gear, what a “superpower”
@Human Beings R Thinking Beings That was putin’s idea.
All the stuff has been stolen. And sold.
Russia is a country that sells its natural resources to buy manufactured goods from other industrialized countries. It’s just a sloppy, corrupt, and autocratic nation. There really isn’t a future living in Russia, this is why their population has been going down for years.
Uh, they have never ever been a super power. But their minions in the press believe (average to below average useful idiots) and told so by the military industrial complex in order to siphon billions from the American taxpayer. For example, we, the USA, knew very early on, around the 1960-70s, that Russian nuclear forces and equipment were substandard and they couldnt never win a war with us. We actually had a tap on the undersea cable done by the CIA way back when, the line running from Moscow direct to Vladivostok in Sibera, and we knew everything. And more. When Soviet union fell apart, we inspected their nuclear silos and almost all of them were defective, defunct and non operable…which was quickly hushed up.
Well, that instructor has now either fallen out of a window or is on his way to Siberia.
it is 78 below zero in siberia this morning.
No, he just got a gig with SNL.
Soldiers have a new instructor, to instruct them to keep their mouths shut.
Putin invited him for a cup of Polonium tea
Next time you praise Russia, just remember that this is how they treat Russians.
CNN+ BREAKING NEWS: Zelensky Seen Sitting On Mall Santa’s Lap Asking For Another $50 Billion – “I have been quite a very good boy this year,” Zelensky was heard telling Santa. “I solemnly request that you give me another $50 billion to help us in our courageous, stunning, and brave crusade against the evil Russian invaders since the FTX taxpayer money laundering scam imploded faster than my Balenciaga bondage bear.” 📺🐑 #LGBFJBPEDO+ 📺🐑
Where is cnn+
Those people are Ukrainians. This is a propaganda video chump.
@Human Beings R Thinking Beings Reported for spam
@Dusty King
Well… Putin’s off to a good start as a present day Stalin.
Thanks for supporting us.Ukrainians really appreciate this! ❤
I support tthe Ukrainian, prayers
That’s because we LOVE you Ukraine. You’re not just fighting for yourselves — you’re fighting for ALL of the Free World. Slava Ukraini!!!👍👍
@Human Beings R Thinking Beings blasphmey! you should be locked up for those heretic thoughts!!!!
Of course they support Ukraine. In spite of Russia. All of US secrets and crimes are hidden away in Ukraine. US has been using it to launder money
I wish I could do more to help. The good people that want this world to be a better place are watching and following your lead.
These guys are just cannon fodder, they don’t need any thermal underwear or tourniquets anyway.
And that is probably exactly how Russian command views them. They also know that if those men do get back, there’ll be hell to pay.
They are fodder. For rats(putin)’s Fodderland. Slava Ukraini!
Poo-Poo doesn’t expect his guys to last beyond a few days (so why waste equipment on them?) Poor fellas …
It is so much more profitable for Putin and the kleptocrats to loot the budget rather than waste all that lovely cash on the Russian people.
He isn’t paying the mobiks. Their women are getting angry. Russia under rats(putin) is DOOMED. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 Heroyam Slava!
Perfecto, exactly what I ment. All departments of every organization in Russia is ill equipped.
75 years of communism followed by 30 years of kleptocracy. Russian soldiers lack supplies while dachas & superyachts shine.
You really know when your plan has broken when:
1. Your military is forced to repurpose expensive missiles with dummy warheads for tasks for which they are poorly suited.
2. Have to use inadequately equipped convicts and conscripts to fill the ranks.
3. Purposely targeting hospitals, schools, and civilian infrastructure.
4. You are too afraid( ashamed) to put your national insignia in your soldiers, Vehicles, and equipment.
Nato is getting bigger every day. The writing is on the wall, but as the Russian Alphabet is, what it is, we’re gonna need a bigger wall
@Human Beings R Thinking Beings
Terroruzza is a pustule, America is a beacon of freedom. See the difference?
Slava Ukraini 💙🇺🇦💛
@Human Beings R Thinking Beings >>>STOP<<< You have been flagged as having the capability of NUANCED THOUGHT and multiple perspectives. This is clearly a danger to agendas everywhere. 🤣 1 in million... Cheers to you!
@Rider 38 Why over 400,000 US soldiers died in the 2nd world war, the majority in Europe? Sounds like you need more than just a history lesson.
@Steve Sandgroper That’s the dumbest response I have gotten yet.
Congratulations
@One bad mutha “sovereign nation” 😂😂😂
Just happens to be the most corrupt “sovereign nation” CNN parrot. 🤦🏻
Stalin did the same thing with his soldiers. The soldiers were not expected to live all that long, at which point the fellow soldiers would inherit their equipment.
Hertling really, really knows his stuff.
Yes he does. Would love to meet him.
@ThePlatypusMafia I know it’s not ‘on topic,’ but you have a really cool username!👍👍
This is what happens when the goal is more important than the people. FAIL.
Sounds like Vietnam !
@Steen Romme wrong. Putin’s war is BlitzKrieg by Hitler.
@Steen Romme russki bot fails to stay on topic again
The instructor had some nice gear!
Ali G is in the house!
Zelensky as shown courage and leadership, whilst Putin sips champagne whilst his young Russian soldiers are dying of hypothermia
Erin has great broadcasts. Maybe pass it on to your “senior correspondent” Ripley on Ukraine that the The Patriot defense system takes an entire crew with each member being flown to a US base to be trained on specific aspects of that system in order to operate it effectively. About 3/4 one year of training minimum. It’s not a point and shoot weapon.
So, send ‘contractors’ to help them.
and if theres one thing our generals know its failure right? lol
Imagine going on a camping trip in freezing conditions with just the clothes on your back oh and the peoples land you decided to trespass on want you dead
Most important you need soldiers in shape 💪
