There has got to be a queasy feeling among some of these russian forces. now, they will do it, never underestimate the red army and fighting ability. but i think the morale problem from a lack of technical effectiveness on the ground is definitely an interesting factor we need to keep an eye on. it is partly due to ukraines tremendous sense of fighting spirit. >> trace: yeah, that is exactly right. i want to play the sound bite from texas representative dan crenshaw who is a republican and i wil...

Military is the most skilled and the best practiced military in all of europe, because theyve been at war in the donbas for at least seven, eight years. what is your assessment of how they have sort of duped putin in terms of their effectiveness, their nimbleness, their ability to seemingly do more with less. >> yeah, i would agree that they are one of the most skilled militaries in europe, and its not just because they have been literally in a hot war in the donbas now for going on eight years,...
