Countries like Poland, Germany, France and such have a much more well-equipped military than Ukraine. Even just on a country vs country basis, I doubt that Russia could successfully invade them. Particularly once we factor in that these places are much further away from Russia than Ukraine, so that the logistics become a real headache. If Russia is barely able to beat a country like Ukraine into submission, and barely able to sustain its supply lines some 100km outside of its own territory, I see no way they could win a (conventional) war in Poland or Germany against cutting edge Western military technology.


This is all true, they really are a shadow of their former self, added to that I think an actual invasion of Poland and especially Germany, unlike with Ukraine, would get universal American public support for a direct intervention.

Won't stop them from continuing to milk Putin as the Saturday morning cartoon villain that they desperately need.

I mean, he's got a point in the sense that Democrats are already trying to blame Putin for all of the inflation although it had already been surging before the invasion and the sanctions...

I'm not sure I agree. Better technology, in some areas yes, but the West has pumped Ukraine full of cutting edge technology to defend itself. They've been at war for 8 years so have got many units with combat experience, also due to this they have a large military and reserve forces like the TDF, they've trained the TDF how to use military equipment and civilians how to use guns, and their country is bigger and has more challenging terrain

In situations like this; morale, discipline, and willingness to die for a cause are more impactful than specific technologies of weaponry available. The tools are a complementary factor, but not the basis that creates a victory or defeat.
It is true Ukrainians are showing resiliency on these fronts but the degree of which we have to wait and see, as it is not easy to tell reality from propaganda in the fog of war and age of misinformation.
