“Russia’s only defense against nato is nukes.”
Put the crack pipe down.
But please, bring your NATO collective asses into Russia backyard cause it time to see just how badass those NATO suicidal psychopaths truly are.
Toddle along, Timber.
LMAO. And let me guess you think Russia is winning in Ukraine?
Let me guess, you think Ukraine is winning in Ukraine?
That explains many things.
Well they weren’t rolled over like everything thought...so yes. They are doing much better than anyone expected. And Russia is doing terrible.
Actually Ukraine is even winning in Russia. Isn’t Kherson russian territory now? LOL
Timber or Marcus Maximus? Who’s the biggest liar here about this war? We need a poll!
I don’t see Russia near daily begging and pleading for billions.
I don’t see Russia begging and pleading for tanks.
I don’t see Russia begging and pleading for planes.
I don’t see Russia begging and pleading for artillery assets.
I don’t see Russia begging and pleading AFVs.
I don’t see Russia begging and pleading transformers and generators.
I don’t see Russia begging and pleading for helicopters.
I don’t see Russia begging and pleading air defenses.
I don’t see Russia begging and pleading for more munitions.
I don’t see Russia having rolling blackouts.
I don’t see Russia not having running water or heat.
Russia ain’t broke but Ukraine is.
Russia still has a functioning economy, Ukraine does not.
I could go on, you know, in all that #UkraineWinning......
“”But please, bring your NATO collective asses into Russia backyard cause it time to see just how badass those NATO suicidal psychopaths truly are.””
Incredible to say that about our American GIs and our allies, and on freerepublic no less.
“Actually Ukraine is even winning in Russia. Isn’t Kherson russian territory now? LOL”
Only idiots and unschooled people in strategy believe that taking something equates to #winning.
Ironic that in all those Ukraine ‘victories’, all of them came from Russian withdrawals and Ukraine then moving into empty cities, towns, and open land. Go figure.
“Incredible to say that about our American GIs and our allies, and on freerepublic no less.”
As a vet, you butthurt?
Carry your snowflake ass back to DU, kthx.
“Incredible to say that about our American GIs and our allies, and on freerepublic no less.”
Well hell, let’s just bust the bravado dam wide open and really piss some snowflake easily butthurt people off, you now here in FR:

I will take a SWAG and say that the US underestimated the Russians, and that Russia has been making their own microprocessors for their advanced weapons - why trust your missiles or cruise missiles to S.Korean, Taiwan or US made chips that might just have a backdoor.
No kidding. Sounds to me that Russia simply doesn’t throw out their older weapons.
Depends on the type of weaponry.
Russia has huge number of tanks in storage, even obsolete models like T62. Why? Because there may be still use for them, T62 reported passing Crimea were used not as battle tanks but as fortifications.
On the other hand they are serious about the expiration date. S300 missiles were actually destroyed, so were Tochka-U’s.
Incidentally Ukraine kept both... S300 missiles past the expiration date behave in unpredictable ways.... many buildings in Kiev were destroyed by them.
So, yes, Russia must be completely destroyed and its oil fields seized. This must happen or they will achieve world domination.
Neither scenario is likely.
Attempts to destroy Russia will result in annihilation of the West.
Otoh, Russia simply does not have enough of the population to think about world domination.
The next two hundred years belong to China.
Strong Russia is important to prevent Chinese domination to be total.
LOL. You mean like how Russia getting slaughtered in Kiev was all part of the grand strategy. And leaving Kherson the only capital they took is all master statergery.
HA HA.
