"SNIP....

“Russian soldiers advancing on Kyiv brought parade uniforms with them, seeming to expect a victory in less than two days,” Insider reports.

“The official said the soldiers left them behind when withdrawing from the Kyiv area, after weeks of trying without success to take the Ukrainian capital.”

1. Hey, save them for....

The Hague and the war crime hearings.

It would be a shame for them to go to waste.

9. It looks like the Ukrainians rained on that parade.

12. They won't end up in the Hague.

They'll most likely be summarily executed by non-state actors.

They can still use the uniforms for their funerals.

2. To paraphrase Rumsfeld:

"You go to war with the uniform you have, not the uniform you might want or wish you had at a later time."

3. Of course they did.

"Dear Leader" told them it would be a cakewalk.

4. You need to look good

at a funeral.

5. Heard this on Morning Joe this morning

Damn shame when a war gets in the way of your parade.

6. Was there ever a report on WHO Putin was going to install as Z's replacement?

I'd like to see someone get an interview with him.

7. Probably Viktor Yanukovich,

who was his puppet there pre-2014.

8. Don't bother clicking on the politicalwire link. Insider has the details.

10. A case of premature poultry enumeration. NT.

11. Now I know why they fail.

U.S. veteran says:

TUCK THAT SHIRT IN
LOSE ABOUT 20
WIPE THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE
LOSE ABOUT 25
FINISH YOUR DAMN SHAVE
LOSE ABOUT 30
EYES FRONT
WHO ISSUED YOU THAT IPHONE?

14. All those shiny medals are probably pretty heavy, too

13. Reader's Digest Guide to Military Strategy

1861: Everything will be over after we take Fort Sumter
1914: We'll just cut through Belgium, take Paris, and then the war will be over
1942: Once we've bombed Pearl Harbor, it's a cakewalk

15. The arrogance of these assholes is amazing

They had decided to buy Putin's belief that the war would be over in 3 days
