The difference is Saddam was ruthless dictator for decades and had a huge standing military.
The Americans and British wiped the floor with Saddams army twice in a decade from literally thousands of miles away.

Russia has failed to defeat a nation a quarter of its population with an order of magnitude less military capability that is a stones throw from it's own border and even connected by rail.


And Zelensky was a comedian.
Let that sink in for a minute.

NATO has a naming convention for aircraft.

B = Bomber. Bear (Tu-95), Blackjack (Tu-160), Backfire (Tu-22M) etc.
F = Fighter. Fulcrum (Mig-29), Fencer (Su-24), Fishbed (Mig-21), Frogfoot (Su-25) etc.

Nothing to do with SuperCam

Wonder how he got that job? Oh wait

Huge standing military eh? 375000 with garbage equipment vs 700000 with NATO support, training and equipment. Basically the same thing.

Ukraine is on it's third or fourth army at this point lol

Thousands of miles away? Except the troops that were there of course? Lol

US got run out of Afghanistan by dudes in caves, what is the population there again?

Zelensky went from telling jokes to being one, very nice.

A minor point, which was raised before, from the outset Russia was not doing total war, as compared to say, the US in Iraq where they just carpet bombed everything immediately (and a big difference in how MSM viewed it at the time). I am not saying that Russia is not now doing total war (they are) but that they got here, they didnt start here (and as always, its not looking good for where we are (collectively) going with this war.

I still wouldn't call it total war, no nukes yet, though the US sure seems to want them

A more accurate comment would be, wouldnt call it total war noting russia objective do not appear to be the complete capitulation of ukraine or take over of the entire country (like say, the US did).
