Agreed.

yep also agreed.
note that a veteran is not the same thing as a soldier.

but none of this matters right ? I mean America would be mad to send troops and escalate, or is anyone arguing they should send troops and liberate Ukraine ?

This is actual delusion.

Very true. Russia can't even deal with Ukraine and now he speaks as if Russia had a chance against a nation that has 14+ times yearly military budget of Russia.

How much is the bonus from others countries in weapons for Ukraine ? We always compare Ukraine vs Russia budget but how much more it is with external help from US & Europe ?

Most of it is the incompetence of russias military strategy .. they thought they were walking in to a non hostile takeover with little to no resistance simply because of how much larger they are than Ukraine’s military.. however taking over a country with this much fight is pretty difficult even with a competent army (look at us vs vietnam or Afghanistan as an example) .. urban warfare is especially difficult.. your fighting against people hidden in buildings as you approach from the wide open

So the combination of
1) Russian army not even thinking they were fighting
2) Lack of preparedness (little fuel and food)
3) Ukraine exceeding expectations militarily

All has caused the Russians to look incredibly weak

Much more to the Ukraine/Russia situatoin then we currently know, looking forward to the truth coming out

And the west that will completey fill ukrainians with absolutely everything to maintain their positions.
Next step is the drama of thermobaric bombs & rockets effects on human body.

They probably saw themselves as liberators and only now realise they are actual invaders and thus have to contend with a hostile civilian & military force.
either way its not going to end well.
