So Russia doesn’t have a legit military, that’s capable of going against the best militaries in the world. Got it.
I mean if they can’t beat a country who’s using standard NATO weaponry, then what would happen if Russia actually fought against NATO.

Conscription is rarely popular. Can Putin keep this up indefinitely without triggering unrest in his own house?

lol yea what’s his angle here?
“You need to give me contracts to help defend against them!”
Of course he’s going to say they’re strong.
Not strong enough to beat the Ukrainian army…

Swells my Nuts with this BS!
Read the article and it says “Ukraine spending time & MONEY”
More like purposely bankrupting middle-America in the process.
If more true Americans realized how much they are stealing from us, I think there would be an out-roar by now. Why do we allow this? Federal reserve printing press alive and well, Trump is in on the steal as well, never would have thought that nor said it, but it’s obvious by now.

No, but I believe he can get away with it long enough to outlast Ukraine without actually boots-on-the-ground western intervention.
The Kremlin is pretty scary, and the people of Russia don't really go crazy with government hate the way people in the US do.

I’m not afraid of the Russian army. I am afraid of their nuclear arsenal, and rightly so. It only takes one to get through to kill millions.

politicians are politicians if you listen to them and MSM they might get YOU KILLED,but they'll be safe in their bunkers fricking each other, then come out and start the same shite over again

Theres no substitute for the real thing.

The Russian Army is dogshit. Their tactics and military structures are stuck WW2 and so is thier equipment. Straight up fight they get crushed ,but the problem is they have the most nuclear weapons. That has always been the problem. How to fight Russia with its nuclear stockpile.

Where are his comments on the lack of our focal points of war (navy, air) being left out of the fight and his analysis on the impact of either?
Are you suggesting we engage Russia on a global scale with our Navy and Air Force over a regional internal border skirmish.

Play the entire speech. This is not what he was saying.

There is some truth in what he says, but understand his real goal:
to make an un-Godly amount of money from the US Government. He has already put forth his plan for a "billion dollar army", by using Ukranian military vets, as well as mercenaries from other countries. A very scary Russia is in his interests. He wants to be hired by the US and/ or NATO. He is the ultimate lobbyist and swamp rat, cloaking himself in Patriotism.

So what’s the back story with this speech? What’s in it for him?
Seems like some serious fear monger shite to me.

They tried to take Kyiv in weeks, lost thousands of troops and armor, and had to retreat. The big Western aid packages came later because Russia failed at the start.

Most militaries are initially successful when they launch a full scale sneak attack invasion of a bordering nation.
Since that initial thrust concluded over three years ago, the Russian army hasn’t really done anything against a nation 1/10 its size except kill a bunch of people. In fact they’ve probably had a net loss of territory over the last 36 months of competent, highly effective blood letting.
