Austin being polite, not piling on. He's thinking 'Sheeeeeit, give me the 101st Airborne and one Marine division and I could chase these ragamuffin Russkies to the front door of the Kremlin.'

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday said that the US has "seen a number of missteps" by Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.
In offering an assessment of Russia's troops, Austin told CNN's Don Lemon in an exclusive interview, conducted in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia, that the Russians "have not progressed as far as quickly as they would have liked."
Austin told CNN that the Russians have "struggled with logistics" and that he has not seen evidence of "good employment of tactical intelligence," nor "integration of air capability with a ground maneuver."
"There are a number of things that we would expect to have seen that we just haven't seen. And the Russians really have had some -- has presented us some problems. So, many of their assumptions have not proven to be true as they entered this fight," he said.
