Why did the Russians get BTFO so hard in WW1?

unencrypted radio comms, commanders fucking each other over due to personal rivalries, general slavic incompetence. The muzhik soul is one of inherent melancholy and perfectly willing to throw himself into machine gun fire because thats just how things are

Germany had the most advanced military on the planet. It wasn't about Russia being shit, just about Germany being really good. I'm sure Russia wasn't shittier than the rest of the world. Krauts as neighbors, not even once.

As much people here are going to seeth after I say it again but Slavs are just not white
It’s like you arm a bunch of subsaharan niggers with rifles and sent them to attack the German imperial army, same result. If not Americans entering the war and Jewish communists sabotaging Germany Russians would be better off as German subjects since they clearly can’t rule themselves.
Current events in Ukraine prove my point

shit logistics, shit equipment, shit tactics, shit commanders, shit warplans, shit morale

It wasn’t much shittier if at all shittier than the rest of the world except France, Britain and Germany. Russian troops did all right and sometimes pretty well against Austro-Hungarian and ottoman forces in the south, two empires whose war effort was even shittier than Russia’s.
