Military Doctrine At The Core Of Russia’s Struggle In Ukraine

Putin has a very weak NCO Corps, which is one reason why they are not doing well in Ukraine. In contrast, the United States had a very strong NCO corps. Their low-end officers are also weak, which can be another source of their overall failure. The U.S., once again, is the opposite, with a lot of the strength in the lower-end positions.

BUT....While there are many reasons why the Russians are failing, it all rests with Putin and the Kremlin.
