You just wanted to use the term "paper tiger."

Russia hasn’t even used two thirds of their military capability. The country possesses huge amounts of artillery. If they wanted to they could completely destroy Ukraine.

Do you see them absolutely leveling cities?


They’re not doing it bc strategically it makes no sense and would likely make the eventual occupation much more difficult.

The idea that Russia is doing “targeted missions” without air superiority is an interesting strategy

No one is invading Russia with horses and rail for logistics.

Bad and old equipment, loss of two Spetznaz (special ops) companies says a lot

Naw man, Russia lacks American military technology but makes up in numbers and pure disregard. What they are trying to do would be difficult for us to do, in the way they are going about it. Putin is a an idiot for it.

Dude we just spent 20 years in Afghanistan after watching the Russians go bankrupt on it. Isn’t like we are a bunch of geniuses.

Hitler thought the same thing after seeing the Red Army struggle with little ole Finland in the Winter War of 1939-40. It's been three days. That conflict lasted for four months.
different kind of warfare and weather predictions are better.

Except none of those countries border America. If american troops weren't sent across the world, and Iraq or Afghanistan were neighbors it would have been a lot different.

You might not be wrong, but they do have nukes. And if they knew their destruction was imminent they’d probably use them. That is what is worrisome.

What folks forget about though is the organized crime angle. Organized crime is a major social and political player in Russia and I mean major. Figure out what the Russian mob wants out of all this and you'll figure out how long it all lasts.


Boom! There it is. That is exactly it.

I honestly think (1) they thought Ukraine would quickly cave, and (2) they don’t want to really put it to Ukraine, which they could, and which would piss off 95% of the world.

If Brazil decided to start investing in Military they would kick Russia's ask.

Is Russia good at anything? Figure skating maybe?

I think we are about to find out in the next few days. Looks like Ukraine has fought a delaying action and is now going to fight it out in the cities. Which minimizes his armor capabilities. His COA’s will be a siege on a major city and show the world thru social media what that looks like. Or go urban warfare which is very very tough.

Governments always underestimate the the Joe with a gun couple of mags of ammo, a cause worth fighting for and willing to die for that cause.
