Their conventional military strength has been exposed and it isn’t nearly what it once was.
I disagree. I never before this war thought that, conventionally, this was even a question before.
I did 9 years of services. It was always known IMO that the USA has superior forces. Honestly, who questioned this before? We spend absurd amounts on our military.
It was, however, good enough.
They do have assets that are quite good given their neighbors and well, Nukes are immensely important.

What Russia is doing more is way more concerning than anything we have done.
I dont believe that.
We have invaded just as many countries if not more.
Splitting hairs if we eventual leave a country after invasion in complete chaos vs Russia annexing.

Perhaps not but you do want the US to be like Russia, with a Putinesque authoritarian head of state.

just point out that the narrative that Russia is weak is totally false
Ukraine has exposed Russia as having a weak military. That should be clear even to you.

Whether or not Russia’s nuclear capability is valid is debatable. If it’s as rusty and antiquated as its military then I’m positive that our military can take them out before they can deliver any bombs.

What you do want is to pacify a Russian dictator who doesn’t take no for an answer. One who checks all your boxes for the ideal leader of a country.
You’re going to be so sad when he is terminated in the same fashion that all dictators are subject to, a bullet between the eyes.

If that's right that's damn near 5% of their PPP GDP just on this operation. Hell just their annual budget in 2021 was $65.9B, so that's almost 4x increase and 1.5% of GDP
Like us (equipment munition donation) their equipment losses are mostly funds already spent. Troop supplies and whatever they're actually able to produce in replacement are direct costs now. Our actual costs are actually upgraded replacements to the outdated equipment we’re donating which is good for us.
Russia’s biggest issue is they just simply can’t replace what they’ve lost/used and if they could it would take YEARS, maybe decades with their manufacturing. We know we can replace what we’ve sent, but yes it will take some time. It’ll be replaced with upgrades though. Can’t say the same for Russia.

Extreme ignorance.
They have thousands and thousands. Just a hand-full reaching anywhere near target is massive amounts of deaths.

We really aren't. You yourself make a distinction here that is extremely important.

Lol. It's all good. I hated the Kroneke's until that documentary, which is evidence that propaganda works.

At any given time, they have about 160 “ready to fly.” Having “thousands and thousands” says nothing if they’re not usable.
It does say a lot about the state of your pussy, though, which must be hurting about as much as OML’s by now.

And they can.
Lets not pretend its a Ukraine only fight. That is what the escalation is all about.

What? You said yourself that the US leaves. Annexation does not mean that. Why is there the continual equivocation also? Just because the US may do something bad does not justify another country doing something bad. It's incredibly easy to remain consistent if that is your viewpoint.

There’s a difference in what we did in Dessert Storm, and Afghanistan than what Russia did in Crimea, Georgia and now Ukraine.
And it’s not splitting hairs. Conquering your neighbors and retaliating to protect your interests are two different things.

So do you support Russia's military invasion of Ukraine or not? It sounds like you do and just want to defect from that fact.
