    Take it with a grain of salt. Anyways, state of affairs in Orc army seems to go down the drain in some units.

    The Russian VDV troops threaten Shoigu and Gerasimov 
    "Servicemen of the 7th Airborne Division recorded an audio message to the Ministry of Defense. In particular, they spoke in defense of their commander of the Airborne Forces, Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinsky. The catalyst for this appeal was the removal of the commander of the 106th Airborne Division of the Airborne Forces, General Seliverstov . In addition, in early July, General Kornev was removed from command of the 7th Airborne Assault Division. “We, the paratroopers, warn that we will not tolerate such actions in relation to General Teplinsky. And in the event of the slightest threat to his life and freedom, we will stand as a wall to protect the honor and dignity of our commander. We are very determined. Up to the point that we will withdraw from our positions and go to the rescue of our Bata. You, those who sit in the offices! The landing party does not abandon its own! Do not make fatal mistakes"

    WP interview with Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, where he made several tough messages: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/14/ukraine-military-valery-zaluzhny-russia/
    Zaluzhny said, he uses weapons made in Ukraine for the frequent strikes across the border that Kyiv never officially acknowledges as its own.
    “To save my people, why do I have to ask someone for permission what to do on enemy territory?” Zaluzhny recently told The Washington Post in a rare interview. “For some reason, I have to think that I’m not allowed to do anything there. Why? Because [Russian President Vladimir] Putin will … use nuclear weapons? The kids who are dying don’t care.
    “This is our problem, and it is up to us to decide how to kill this enemy. It is possible and necessary to kill on his territory in a war. If our partners are afraid to use their weapons, we will kill with our own. But only as much as is necessary.”
     
    Zaluzhny, however, isn’t shy about his intent to reclaim Crimea, the peninsula Russia illegally annexed in 2014, even as some Western officials privately worry about what Putin’s response would be if Ukrainian troops ever reached the territory. “As soon as I have the means, I’ll do something. I don’t give a damn — nobody will stop me,” Zaluzhny said.

    Same argumentation used as for not delivering tanks because the Orcs still have anti tank capabilities and tanks.

    He isn't right at all- he missess a lot of historical instances when Russians marched west to obtain their goals, and that is why he was punctured by other users. I would add attempt to suppress Belgian revolution in 1830, which was to be, according to specific wishes of devout Tsar, being drown in blood- his armies already marched West but didn't managed due to pacification in Belgium itself and Polish uprising. Not many people know this fact- liberal movement in Brussels was inches from being butchered by army of Holy Alliance (Russia was only country that took the adjective "Holy" very seriously back then, after rule of fanatic Alexander I).
    Ofc. Bolsheviks hordes also had very excplicit, verbalized aim of "joining with revolutionary brothers" in the West in 1920. It is disputeable if they would succeed, but being Red was cool sexy novelty back than and many people envisaged that social war would become new, future form of warfare across the globe, independent from traditional geography. So it is quite likely that without effort of people of Central-Eastern Europe (Poles, Belarussians, Balts, and Ukrainians + Finns, waging their own brutal civil war) they would put their feet on westerners door as well. In this or other form.
    Now, as you see, this pattern repeats itself fairly constanty throug history- many times they tried to reach West, but were cut down due to problems in subjugating Central Europe. They finally did manage to do this after 1945. And that is why Western soldiers were forced to drill holes for stationary nukes along German roads. Soviet Army of conquest loomed over horizon for damn half century- it is still beyond me, frankly, that so many people don't get this as sign of ultimate imperialism. Anyone ever heard about "Seven Days to Rhine"? How is that not aggression? Or were there any serious scenarios where it was NATO actually attacking Warsaw Pact?
     
    Btw. folks, some day we need to clarify what we understand under those broad terms "Western, Central, and Eastern" Europe, since there is hell lot of confusion, as some seem to also misread Russian usage of these terms- which is quite different than this in London, which in turn is different than in for example Tallin. Unfortunatelly, people in the West have this post-WWII habit of neatly dividing the continent on Western and Eastern part that serves perfectly Russian interests. But if you look culturally and politically, it was usually bollocks much more often than not. But we will perhaps discuss this another time.

    That is monumentally wrong.  A classic case of what Russia does when it is strong and not threatened is the period prior to WW 1- it tries to expand its territory in all directions, including to the West, by taking territories of the Hapsburg Empire. 
    Also, Cold War. What was the Western attack which provoked the Soviets? The invasion by their treacherous ally III Reich in 1941?

    And let's not forget Eastern Prussia (Germany) 1914, which was looted and burned down by the Russian army, before the Germans could kick them out again.
    Does that qualify as Western Europe? Probably not.

    Start your research at the Second Coalition 1798–1801 and work your way up. I'm not even going to waste space detailing the treaty of Tilsit (1807) and the Tzar's decision to ignore it in 1809...

    Yes, let's pretend 1939 didn't happen. Or I guess Poland attacked Russia first. And then Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. And even Finland attacked Russia.

    I guess you get to occupy 1/6 of the landmass by being constantly invaded by everyone around you. Because everyone just wanted a piece of your precious Siberian eternal frost. I can just see how somebody in Warsaw thought "goddamn this warm weather in summer and fertile lands. That's it, Ogniezhka, we are capturing Yakutsk! Our kids will get to live in the swampy lebensraum!"
