#1 I think the general meant that concurrent to NATO's contentions of an imminent invasion, no indications were seen of any activity.

The Russians are good at camouflage, it is true, but some indications, some things can't be hidden no matter what preparations the Russians make.

#2 It's sort of a three pronged concept:
(1) Russkiya have always been big on maskirovka (misleading).
(2) The sons of Rus also have a legendary reputation for disorganization.
(3) They are also legendary for throwing the best 'come as you are' wars.

#4 Speaking of Russian feats in this line...

"No, Adolf, your bristles don't prickle!
Not even a notional tickle!
And roses ain't gallin'
So I'll just be stallin',
Not sharpening my Bolshevik sickle."
