Napoleon crossed the Neman River in Poland with 422,000 men. By the time he got to Moscow, his Grande Armée had been reduced to 100,000 from constant battle and attrition. The Russians practiced slash and burn, leaving nothing for Napoleon's forces to subsist on. The French army retreated.

Winning War History: Russia
Napoleon captured Moscow, and held it for several months. He expected the Russians to surrender, but they didn't. When winter approached, the French army needed to leave Moscow due to lack of food, and supplies. It was not really a "retreat," as the unbeaten army had captured its goal, Moscow., and only left their position to find food and supplies.
Thus demonstrating the need to establish supply routes when advancing. They tought they'd be fine once in the city, but there was nothing. Yes, soldiers need food and ammo, and hospital tents and uniforms and.....So it turned into a rout.
By that time the French were reduced to riding deformed ai abominations instead of horses.
Seriously though...Not sure what connection youre trying to make with current events, but there were many other factors involved including Napoleans ill-fated decision to march into Russia during the winter (think of "Siberian winter").
Also the fact that he chose family members to lead instead of experienced Generals.
And yes, the fact that Russian soldiers were tough motherfuckers that drunk vodka for breakfast definitely played into the defeat.
I know, I had to push the bot several times to even come up with something worth decorating my post with. Is preddy amusing tho.
I think narcissism and power are a heady mix. I don't know what he was thinking. Maybe he needed to prove himself to someone. He chose family members because he didn't trust anyone else, and that is one of the issues that these types have. They believe they are the one. They must solve everything themselves. Family members are viewed as more loyal.
Also, he didn't count on peasants leaving the country-side and burning everything upon leaving. That was a tactic learned from previous encounters with wild marauders. In Western Europe, the peasants might run, or stay behind to be summarily murdered, but the food would still be there for the plunder. A lot of Moscow burned as well.
Secondly, the cold is unimaginable to a man brought up in France. People 'out in the country' need to basically dig in and hunker around a fireplace to survive, like generations, even millennia before them. It is not a time to be riding a horse, pulling a canon, or even marching, let alone dossing down for the night. Exposure is the killer.
The free version of Grok on Twitter is pretty good. You have limits for the free version, (25 questions/prompts per 2 hours...which isnt bad amongst all the free options out there).
But it spits out much better images than this.
You can also ask the ai to give you a good art prompt for your ideas. Keep in mind that will count towards your daily limit.
My early attempts werent any better than yours... Some ai are defnitely better than others. Learning good prompts is pretty important, ai is a vast ever changing wilderness, keep at it.
These 2 were made with Groks free version:

I like them.
The first one N looks like a little kid, totally lost.
The second describes the pepe meme so well, and brings it all into now: Frogs foiled the grand plan, just by not playing by the 'rules'.
Canned food was in its infancy and logistics was horse and carriage.
History redpill: Russia defeated Napoleon. Waterloo was just bankers winding down their investment
Well, by the skin of their teeth ....Wellington had lost the battle (thanks to Marechal Ney). The Prussians saved the day, because the 30.000 French army did not catch-up with them while chasing them while the Prussians made a nice U-turn.
Appear weak when you are strong. The Russians turned Napoleon back using the fade/withdraw tactic, ending his eastern march into Russia and later leading to his loss at Waterloo.
Trump began his subtle withdrawal/fade the moment he was inaugurated escalating it all the way until this past late spring when suddenly he turned on the reverse afterburners. And then a slow but steady and strong march toward victory.
Indeed I am watching Syria with bated breath, as everyone melted out of the way of the head-choppers. I keep waiting for a trap to come down.
