I think it is this that has been making the rounds. https://defconwarningsystem.com/digest/wp-content/uploads/20...

I'll post it new in case more people want to panic ;)

Ah, that looks... likely. Thanks! I know it's been a concern of various groups at a low level for some while, but it's been popping up far more than I'd expect lately, and I was curious as to what triggered it. The people who've brought it up (at least in person) don't seem particularly well informed as to the technical details, so I assumed there was something talking about it, I just wasn't sure what.

It’s pretty interesting to compare the report from a year ago when Russia was still seen as some super advanced military threat with the actual performance of the Russian military in Ukraine over the past almost 3 months.

Russia is still a military threat, despite their performance.

There were a lot of instances of Roman millitary in their prime performing poorly (ex Septimus Severus's wars in Caledonia) for a long period of time.

It's just 3 months of poor performance, but their potential for war is still very high.
