I never said the contrary. Just look up Kaiserschlacht, which is the biggest offensive that Germany did during late WW1. In just one day they conquered as much terrain as the Entente did during the entire Somme offensive 2 years prior. Germany practically didn't have any tank, which is similar to the Russian position right now, and needed to find a way to break strongpoints without sending tens of thousands of men to their deaths as was standard during WW1.

I'll still call the Russians noobs, Germans advanced way faster than the Russians do with the same tactics and similar odds

Update on that pocket for those following. Russia brought in more armor and a toxic attack, but failed quite badly.

Looks like nothing can save the Russians except for another wasteful offensive 

So yesterday on some TV programme here they showed how our favorite Russian propaganda TV host that likes to threaten to throw nukes at everything apparently had a guest that said he “learned at military academy that most petrochemical industry in Europe is clustered in the port of Rotterdam”. So obviously they would just toss a nuke at it and boom Europe is defeated. They even mention, lost on the irony I suppose, that it would take just “one day” and if that doesn’t work they should send troops here by sea (somehow) and it “doesn’t matter if they are NATO”.

Now even though I live right next to the port of Rotterdam, I’m not going to lose any sleep over this, because I in turn learned that apparently they haven’t discovered Google Maps yet. That industry being there wasn’t exactly a secret you would need to go to military academy for after all.

And oh there was also a map shown with a missile trajectory drawn towards London, Berlin and Paris for good measure. So yeah, my European friends here on VGC, please proceed to shake in your boots.
