    Not a leadership invested in big showy victories to encourage Western supplies, a long land border with their enemies, and a local population in the defended areas that is very unhappy with the state and see the enemy as rescuers?

    How does one choose what are weaknesses worth reporting on?

    I don’t see how they can send soldiers off to die at this point when they know they’re going to lose.

    I don’t see how the soldiers can go off and die. Like, imagine dying in the last battle before your side surrenders. Ya’ll could’ve just surrendered a bit earlier and those people would still be alive 🤣

      This is why armies collapse as opposed to fighting to the last man. At some point enough people realize that the gig is up, and they stop following orders from the regime.
