it is hard to believe that the French were that stupid to invade. they had no idea the dangers there were in russia like, the cold for one. good video mate
Well Napoleon knew that when your a lone nation against many powerfull enemies you need to keep your initiative (that's how he managed to take northern italy from Piemont and Austria with a small army of starving soldiers btw). When Nelson and the british navy managed to destroy his fleet, he knew that invading England was not an option anymore so he decided to deal with his other adversaries in Europe including Russia. Napoleon and his Marechals where known for achieving victory thanks to bold moves both in term of tactic and strategy. They also knew staying still as sitting ducks wouldn't have been a better solution. Sometimes the odds are against you but you have to try anyway. I'm not even a specialist of that period but I know that at war things dont always go as planned. And calling some of the greatest military geniuses of their time "stupid" as if you would have done better in their place isn't making you smarter in any way.
Nice video
