Russia has a clear advantage this was clear from the start and mentioned by some people like Scott Ritter for example.
Undeniably. More men, more war equipment, air superioty, etc. The numbers for incoming weapon supplies are several times compared to what Ukraine is receiving.
I think most people were clear about this. And it is surprsing that Ukraine was able to hold out as long as they do.

Yet a bunch of delusional Western politicians called Russia a gas station masquerading as a country, remember?
I don’t think that is a realistic take. European countries had deep ties with Russia when it comes to fossil fuel and mineral supplies which are now mostly sanctioned but still upheld through the means of relocating the trading routes and involving other countries.
It works the other way around as well. Russian still needs certain goods that are now being imported by a few countries.

It was said the Russians were using old rusty WW2 equipment and were running out of well, everything basically. Remember?
If you ask me it’s not a bad thing using proven equipment that soldiers are familiar with and that is available in great abundance also in terms of spare parts. This is something that western technology is lacking because western armies are not familiar with engaging in a war of attrition.
A tank, no matter its age or technology, remains a threat and has to dealt with.

Who was making fun of who exactly? :rolleyes:
I don’t think there is any fun involved really. No matter the outcome, there will be no winners. Wars are always a terrible thing.
