This international comment, Uncle Mu will analyze the true views of the Western military on Russia.
During the Russian-Ukrainian war in the past few months, senior military figures including the United States, Britain, Europe and NATO often express their views on Russia, and we can see their comments from various media. However, it is rare for a senior military official to systematically talk to the media about how he views Russia.
On October 15, the British media gave a template.
is British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace expressed his judgment on the current situation in Russia in an interview. And Uncle Mu believes that this is not only the judgment of the British Defense Minister, but also the judgment of Russia by the entire Western military.
To be precise, the British Defense Minister should be called the Minister of Defense, but no matter what his status is, it will not affect his view of Russia.
In the interview, Wallace talked about all aspects of the Russian army, such as the risk of Putin launching a war, the dissatisfaction and troubles of the Russian army, and the performance of the Russian army in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
For example, in the interview, one of Wallace's biggest judgment on Russia was that this is no longer a superpower.
And in Wallace's view, superpowers may not necessarily win the war. He thinks this is not surprising, because the previous history of superpowers proved that they had lost wars many times: for example, the Soviet Union in in Afghanistan , and the United States in Vietnam. Therefore, it is not uncommon for great powers to endure the failure of war.
But he believes that Russia is not a superpower now, and Putin must have discovered this. But there is no way to change it. Because every step of the war, people underestimated Ukraine and overestimated Russia.
He also evaluated the comparison between Russian front-line troops and Ukrainian troops.
Wallace said that basically the situation of Ukrainian soldiers is better than that of Russian soldiers. If you compare what the Russians are doing, you will find many embarrassing problems. For example, some people were quickly sent to the front line after being mobilized, and were arrested a few days later: For example, the Russian army's equipment was poor, and some weapons were already rusted. It is not true that it is even said that many Russian soldiers on the front line have received systematic training.
Wallace also quoted some intelligence claims that many senior Russian officers were angry at the command center. Some professional officers were disappointed with the progress of the war and felt that the people in the command were lacking in professional qualities, which caused great losses to the front line. "If their army is at least a little decent, these commanders should be transferred to the military court and imprisoned."
The British defense minister said that Russia's current mobilization strategy is still a human-sea tactic, such as using millions of people to the battlefield, but this is disrespectful to life. If this strategy succeeds, it will send a signal to the world that it can win the war in such a terrible way, but the international community cannot accept it. At the same time, he warned the Russian army not to use nuclear weapon , which is a taboo.
In Uncle Mu's view, many of the British Defense Minister's statements are at the heart.
In particular, the idea that Russia is no longer a superpower can indeed represent some valuable consensus and analysis of the Western military's war against the Russian army for about 8 months. Therefore, he should be taken seriously.
Because Britain is not only a NATO country, but also the second most powerful country in support of Ukraine, second only to the United States, under the guidance of Wallace's idea, their aid to Ukraine will continue to increase in the future, which will have a greater impact on the trend of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
