So how much of the pre-invasion UKR common knowledge stems from the fact that current flag ranks in the Pentagon were JOs when the 9 foot tall, all caps RED ARMY was going to blast through the Fulda Gap in the morning and take dinner on the Bay of Biscay without needin' no steenkin' nukes? I recall reading article after article back in my misspent youth trying to make the case that the Soviets were not, in fact, 9 foot tall genetically enhanced super soldiers equipped with robust yet technologically advanced armor and planes and ships and everything else in huge numbers, ([original Dr. Smith voice:] We're doomed, doomed!). And those post-Vietnam-war JOs are the guys sitting in the big chairs these days.

Or is it some oddball equivalency mind virus like "Hey, the Soviets lost in Afghanistan, and then WE lost in Afghanistan! We're no better than them!"?

I recall readinf back then that one out of four US servicemembers could pass a flight physical. The USSR—one in 7.

Nuland is orchestrating this IO. Prelude to a false flag op to force NATO-US into combined arms warfare inside UKR. UKR is a means only, expendable. Goal is regime change to return Russia to 90s Clinton condition, a bee sucked hollow by a spider, by Nuland-cabal-minions.

As implied by CDRSalamander, she does not have mil able to do that. That won't stop her from setting it in motion. This crisis is not for statecraft. Nothing rational about it. It is deep psychodrama of origin in Nuland/cabal's ethno-religious enmity against Russia and Russians. Their IO already has many Americans and Euros robotically hating on Russia and Russians. Their success there is huge. Global South not so stupid, ain't buying it.

The nations and their citizens are along for the ride, willy-nilly.

Nuland has been President of UKR since 2014. This trouble is her baby. She engineered Maidan -- with Geoff Pyatt -- and all subsequent, to form a knife below the belly of Russia. Give her credit for consistency and persistence. Last October she told Lavrov to his face, and in a sailor's blue Russian, that he let UKR overrun Donbass or she would crush his economy. Mid-March was the jump-off window. Putin jumped in first, threw Nuland's Russia-hating, Neo-Con cabal into high rage.

Nothing rational can or will come from Nuland-cabal wrecking crew. They are lost to historical discernment, common sense, and intelligent statesmanship.
