Your country is being isolated. Your leader is in a serious mental condition. Do you keep fighting? Do you keep spilling blood?
This isn't even the beginning of the army.
Russian army once defeated Hitler in great Patriotic war. Now Russian Army is Hitler.

No one is supporting Russia except those countries under his thumb. Even China has started distancing themselves from that evil bastard.

Russian army is inept. They look like world beaters against weak dicks like Ukraine and Georgia, but NATO would wipe their asses away. A shrinking strategic nuclear force is the only thing propping up Russia.

They’re not failing. Their numerical superiority is already beginning to tell. But, having said that, the Russians are taking far heavier losses than we did in the Iraqi invasion. That’s why people believe they are failing.
For some historic context, even in the closing weeks of the war when the Wehrmacht was starting to collapse, the Red Army was still taking far heavier losses than the Germans. The Battle of Seelow Heights on the outskirts of Berlin is a prime example. In this battle, fought in the final weeks of the war, the Soviets sustained over 30,000 killed as well as lost 743 tanks and self-propelled guns. German losses numbered around 12,000 killed. The Russians did breakthrough and encircled and captured Berlin a little over two weeks later. But even in Berlin the Soviets lost close to 300,000 casualties, close to 2,000 armored vehicles, and over 900 aircraft.

The Germans were really good. They inflicted outsized casualties on everyone.

The USA decimated Iraq. Just see the casualties Iraq had compared to the USA ( most of the cassualties comes from medical personall and civilians not USA soldiers ) . Only reason it's considered a defeat it's because the USA couldn't stabilize the region after.

No, they look like they're failing because their 'convoy' is moving around 2-3 miles per day. They look like they're failing because they fire bombed Kharkov and still can't hold it.
They look like they're failing because they took Kherson 4 days ago and only just felt brave enough to tell that to the world.
Nobody doubted the Russians would 'take the land.' They have air superiority. The question is what happens when the planes aren't flying, the tanks are on the outskirts of town and the Russians are patrolling the city.

For one Ukrainians arent suicide bombing Russians. Thats a go to tactic for Muslims. Sacrifice one for 20. Other cultures will sacrifice 5 to save 1 as we have seen many times.

Patton was right.

They’d been doing that from the moment they entered German territory.

Well he said "offensive war," which WWII was definitively not for the Russians.
Posted on 3/2/22 at 10:48 pm to Darth_Vader
True, but I was speaking of Berlin. And, it lasted longer than 2 months as well.
