Ted Cruz mocks ‘woke, emasculated military’ ad, compared to strong Russians
Sen. Ted Cruz ripped the US Army on social media for a new ad portraying a “woke, emasculated” United States military.
The Texas Republican retweeted a video comparing a Russian military ad featuring muscle-bound men shooting rifles to a US Army ad centering on a female American solider with “two moms.”

After seeing the Russian army performance against a weak nation in eastern Europe, my money is on the superiority of US Army, irrespective of how tough and battle-ready Ted thinks the Russians are compared to us.

I have never agreed with Ted Cruz that the Russian army is superior to the United States Army.
Russia has shown military ‘incompetence’ during its invasion of Ukraine

The people who Cruz is attempting to entertain don't care what he says, more so, who he attacks and how he does it
I get the impression Russian military doctrine emphasizes tanks and artillery. Infantry is their weak link.
The Russians love tanks and haven't realized that tanks are rapidly becoming obsolete, in the days when one man with a fifty thousand dollar shoulder fired missile can take out a twenty million dollar tank.
For too many years, conservatives like Ted Cruz, and the rightwing posters like Stone, Hawkeye10, Anatta, et al have made Putin and the Russian military out to uber-intimidating, ten foot tall supermen we should tip toe around and fear provoking.
Obviously, the US military is vastly superior to Russia's in weaponry, training, and organizational doctrine.

Agreed on all points. OTOH, Romney got ripped by Obama and the Democrats for pointing out Putin, and the Russians, were a national threat. Which they still are. It remains to be seen what Putin will do when he is losing completely in Ukraine. At the moment he seems to be hoping to hold the eastern corridor to Crimea.
At this point, I think the Ukrainians won't settle for anything less than the Russians completely out of the area.
