00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:09,420
If the Russian troops are at the level you 
presented, that is extremely good for us, 
if they don't improve from that.

2
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:21,460
From the Russian point of view, you didn't 
comment that the troops probably had been 
for weeks, or months stationed in poor conditions 
close to the border.

3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:35,950
Has that, together with being misinformed 
of the true mission had any effect on Russian 
performance and failures?

4
00:00:35,950 --> 00:00:45,180
It depends... before the Americans attacked 
Kuwait, their troops had been stationed for 
months in the desert, in much harsher conditions.

5
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:46,130
The point is how you are going to handle 
the situation.

00:00:46,130 --> 00:00:55,810
If you are a competent leader, you have the 
chance to train your troops and rehearse 
the entire operation.
