Yes and no. Russia is alot more militaristic. But that is just my personal opinion.
I think what me meant were these cultures are old and have a standard and distinct character by now. I think France is as militaristic as Russia and handed them most of their ass whippings throughout history.

Russia have a very very unique Culture.
I think everyone will agree Ukraine is not an Angel when it comes to corruption.
That being said it was absolutely wrong for Russia to invade a sovereign nation not matter what reason they give.
You cannot just march in and take over lands which doesn't belong to you " anymore" .
This is a salient point. People discuss giving up Crimea, Donbass, and other occupied areas for peace. I ask if they wish to give up half of Texas and New Mexico for peace if the Mexicans ever tried to come back and take their ancestral homelands. It would be the same thing.
In a world where strength dictates everything they want to enable Russia when they clearly aren't up to the task.
The tone of the war will change when Ukrainian forces start striking targets within Russia because if Russia doesn't back off it will experience war at home. A fuel depot was already attacked in Russia proper. Russian negotiators actually complained about Ukraine attacking them when it was only a special helicopter operation. Fake indignation is eye rolling.
