    If I was Russian, I’d worry less about the soldiers and more about the locals.

      It’s the mosquitos you have to worry about. They’re almost as big as a housecat in Alaska.

        You joke, but this exact shit happened in Ukraine during the early days of the Donetsk invasion, where dipshit Russians kept getting fucking schwacked by rural Ukrainian farmers. Also go read up on the US invasion of Vietnam and see how well that went, where a technologically superior force fought a bunch of fucking uneducated communist jungle peasants.
