The Diplomat: How The West Underestimated Russia's Military Power
Focusing on shortcomings in equipment made Western military analysts underestimate Moscow's military capacity.
Russia's military reforms have been misunderstood and its capabilities underestimated by the United States and Europe. That's the conclusion of a new report by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR).
The Russian military's tactical and operational weaknesses became most blatantly apparent to the Kremlin during the 2008 Russo-Georgian War, when the U.S.-trained Georgian forces proved a much more agile and motivated adversary than expected.
As a consequence, Russia initiated the most far-reaching military (the "new look") reforms since the 1930s divided up into three distinct phases, according to the ECFR study:
WNU Editor: They did not only underestimate the Russian military .... more importantly .... they underestimated Putin's determination and will power to succeed, and the Russian population's support of him.

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
