Above all, experts think Putin greatly underestimated the strength of his opponent. Led by a determined president, Ukrainians of all ages have rallied together to defend their country.

“When you push somebody into a corner and take their home, try and take their cities, they’re going to fight,” said Emmett.

In addition to miscalculating the Ukrainians’ resolve, Emmett thinks Putin overestimated the capabilities of his own troops, many of whom were not battle tested.

“Quite frankly, the Russian army is not that good. It’s made up primarily of conscripts. Some of them don’t even speak Russian. A lot of them don’t even know why they’re in (Ukraine),” he said.

Despite their slow start, Russian forces have advanced in recent days, gaining ground in the push toward Kyiv. But even if Putin’s army reorganizes and defeats Ukraine with more brutal war tactics, Emmett said the resistance inside Ukraine would likely continue, possibly until the invaders leave.

“You’re going to get into phase two, you’re going to get guerrilla warfare, insurgency warfare,” said Emmett.

The Russian army’s missteps have played out in videos circulated on social media around the world — armored vehicles bogged down in mud and entire tank convoys ambushed by Ukrainian troops.

For days, satellite images showed a massive Russian military convey stretching 40 miles long sitting stalled outside Kyiv. Once considered among the most powerful fighting forces in the world, the Russian army now appears vulnerable.

That perceived weakness on a global stage has some worried that Putin will escalate the conflict to overcompensate for his army’s lack of progress.

“It looks to me like they’re probably going to hit the cities much, much harder and then only go in with troops after they have destroyed much of the cities,” retired Army Lt. Col. Daniel Davis told NewsNation. “I do fear it could get a lot worse.”

Davis said Russia does not have enough troops to attack each major city one-by-one. Instead, he expects Putin’s forces to use missiles to bombard population centers, given their significant combat power.

Other sectors of Russia’s military have also underperformed. Once thought to be a sure thing, the Russian air force has not established air superiority over Ukraine. That means air support for ground forces has been limited, another contributing factor to the slowed advance.

Stalled convoys, reports of fuel shortages, photos of armored vehicles stuck in mud — it’s been nearly three weeks since Russian forces invaded Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s initial war strategy appears to have failed.

Despite significant manpower and equipment advantages, Putin’s army has not overrun a much smaller Ukrainian defense force. The capital of Kyiv remains in Ukraine’s control, as does the strategic port city of Odesa, in the southwest part of the country.

At times, Russian forces have appeared overstretched and inept. Pentagon officials have reported that Putin’s army is struggling to feed its troops and fuel its vehicles. Morale is low.

So why was the Russian army so unprepared?

“They made the two biggest mistakes you can make in warfare — they underestimated their opponent and they overestimated their own abilities,” said Dan Emmett, a military expert and former U.S. Marine.

Emmett said the resolve of the Ukrainians, coupled with the Russians’ lack of fighting experience and unfamiliarity with the terrain, has made it especially difficult for the invaders.

Experts believe Putin expected to capture the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in a matter of days. If he had done so, the Russian president could have ousted Zelenskyy and installed his own pro-Russia government. But that didn’t happen. Instead, Russian troops met stiff Ukrainian resistance and Putin’s soldiers, who were supplied for a short campaign, suddenly found themselves underprepared.

“Putin’s military plan to quickly capture Ukraine, it is clear now, has failed,” Ned Price, State Department spokesman, told reporters on Thursday.

There's bing maps and MapQuest if you need an alternative. For some areas, those options may be more accurate.

kernniejay:
Senegal and Cote D'Ivoire are francophone countries while Ghana and South Africa are xenophobic countries, only Kenya seems fair enough in your options.

It's not impossible to learn French. And not everyone has a bad experience in Ghana and South Africa.

Grow tomatoes or peppers on your potatoes.

People have good things to say about Senegal, Cote D'Ivoire, Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa.

Congrats. Nice progress.

1. Ndela Faye looks mulatto. And her child appears only 1/4 black. I can't even take this woman seriously.

2. Finnish people are irrelevant. Their social safety net, education (generally speaking), and public transportation are top notch. But culturally, no one gives af. That's part of the reason they do things like this. They're mad.

3. Scandinavian people are ugly and boring. They have a goofy language and accent. Their cuisine is wack. And their cold, ugly countries are dark most of the year. That's probably why they're clearly so jealous and take out their frustrations on sexy people.

Might be fake.

The only thing bordering oyibo about Nigerians is how we run to their country

If that was true, they wouldn't go to great lengths to stop progress.

Why is it so easy to say racism everytime

One important thing I forgot to add is that Asians and Central Americans make it a point to have no dignity or pride. They're so far up oyinbo būtts that they don't know if it's day or night. Shameless. And central/south Americans aspire to nothing but a ghetto lifestyle. These are things that thoroughly satisfy racist oyinbo fantasies. Oyinbos are hostile to anything contradicting their racist delusions.

If you haven't set foot outside Nigeria, you probably won't grasp this reality. If you're self-hating, you probably won't accept it either.

Timblogga:
I wish she can break her clay pots on our leaders heads spiritually. They have destroyed this nation.

lol wtf

This story sounds like racist propaganda.

Listen, Nigeria has the largest population in Africa. And despite external and internal sabotage, Nigerian people are proud, resilient, well-educated, hardworking, and determined. Oyinbos are genuinely bothered by these facts. The issues with entering various countries has nothing to do with bad eggs or any other nonsense. It's racism. It's the same reason why the US fights Haitians from entering, but all kinds of Asian and central American criminals walk right in.

Unless he's not a JW, what's the problem?

That's what JW believe (even though it's strange), so you have to respect it.

That's subjective. But some people should be careful not to set the bar so high that they never reach it.

This isn't just creepy or in very poor taste. One of the realities of war and terrorism is that some people target refugees for tr4fficking.

The UK government needs to do the right thing and protect women and children coming into the country.

While New Jersey has great neighborhoods and a good education system, it has some very real areas.

That's not a plus size lady. She looks tall and thick. She may also not travel by bike frequently or while wearing a tight dress, so she doesn't know how to sit right.

The same Europe and West that has held Africa back after decades. They should enjoy the karma they created.

Good point.

Angola and Nigeria are about to eat good.

They also have public housing, NHS, universal credit, and more social programs.

The good men that treat them how they're supposed to be treated are seen as boring and uninteresting.

It would be interesting to see a study on this. What percentage of the population are these women?
