I'd understand it if this article was written two years ago at the height of "Slava Ukraini hero Zelenskyyyyyy in camo", but why would you assume it'd be easy in 2024?

These mercenary types all think they're The Punisher, an unstoppable force of nature

They're used to being set on civilians and insurgent forces at best

The West hasn't had a war against a peer in a while, so these guys aren't used to fighting guys who can counter their tactics and weapons
