The Cold Light of Day

Russian Bank Collapse 

Russia was doomed

Among the reasons for the failure of Russia in the Ukraine is they were fighting a war using outdated tactics.

They were using tactics which hadn't been used since the Battle of Kursk. These days, few battles involve large tank assaults, tanks are useful, but not in an age of guerrilla warfare when the battle is raged on the street, and in the homes. The Russians would have learned this, you would imagine, after fighting, and losing wars in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Afghanistan.
