The Russians seem to have some serious OH&S issues.
  1. Their General's are not making it to retirement age, [age discrimination?]
  2. Their ships catch fire through bad wiring and they then douse the fire using the sink system [fire code violations]
  3. The T-72 turret toss is banned from the summer Olympics [unsafe workplace]
  4. The conscripts have started shooting at the REMF Checnel force who are there to shoot any conscript who terminates his contract [harassment in the workplace]
Forget about weak bridges, and self-immolating oil tanks, they really seem to have some issues going on. Their luck would improve if they were sitting in Russia I suspect.
They have to be getting a little curious about their bad luck by now. Seems that there is a bit of a 5th column within the Red forces that don't like generals, command posts or the whole deal of being in Ukraine. Just as well it isn't a war.

All wars are about resources at the base level, cloaked in hyperbole about religion or injustice, but underneath, it's all about grand theft. (even the football war of '69).
In Ukraine, the pillaging is state sponsored, which is amazing. John Deere is going to have a lot of opportunity to sue Putin for his theft of gear and removal over state lines. Hopefully there is a USFC jurisdictional matter that arises from that, so that 18 USC can apply.
