so many of them were obsessed with the "crumbling of the empire" in the USA that the missed the last vestiges of Russia falling in on itself. former military giant is now relegated to small ineffectual campaigns to retain relevance and stop the world from realizing they're nothing more than a vodka soaked energy supply economy in a world fast losing interest in what they sell.
The funniest part is that Russia struggles mightily to make any progress in a theater of war which is no further than 100 miles away from Russia-controlled territory. Considering that logistics have historically been the achilles heel of the Russian/Soviet military, the panicked and desperate calls which alleged that they must be stopped in Ukraine at any cost because Poland, Romania and the rest of Eastern Europe would otherwise get steamrolled, seem completely ridiculous.
Considering their struggles with logistics and the defender's advantage, Russia would probably not even be able to take Poland in a 1on1, let alone the entirety of Eastern Europe. With his campaign in Ukraine, Putin has essentially called his own bluff...
