#1 Russia's military capibilities are much weaker than they seem, but little trials like Georgia and Syria helps them fix some of their problems. It would be nice if NATO was still an actual force. Oh well, looks like we may have to wrestle the bear again, for awhile.

#2 As a result, the 58th Army sustained unnecessary casualties and also lost more combat equipment than it should have.

That's funny. Personally I would have liked to have seen catastrophic Russian casualties. The more the better.

#3 I wouldnt' wish casualties on anyone but it would be nice if the Red Army was forced to walk back to Russia because everything more or less broke down.
