During covid we all became covid experts but as you know we are now military advisors
We learned a lot about things we never heard before
So I'm asking nicely if you can share what you learned from this conflict, no politics please

I learned that war is not war if we avoid using the term

1st time I heard about food exports from Russia
And that Canada is the 2nd the largest country after Russia, I thought USA is 2nd
And of course about the javalins and how they work

I learned that history repeats itself. I always "knew" that but now I'm seeing it

Some obvious ones:
- Don’t underestimate your adversary
- Plan 10 moves ahead, and know how you’re going to save face

As much as you wanna be one step ahead of everyone with the latest weapons and technology, you can’t forget about the basics.

Never fight, just challenge thought processes, things you assume you know, and complacency.
