Our news says they are getting their ass kicked by Ukraine, but then the same news wants to tell us that they are planning on attacking the UK, invading into Europe... Funny-
Russia is no viable world power and we think we can encroach on their sphere of influence may that be their frontier in Syria, Venezuela, or Libya, or their border/buffer states: Republic of Georgia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.
We have been walking all over them, for years, and then we want to pretend like it’s us being attacked and invaded.
Russia has 55% our ground forces. 47% our air forces. 43% our naval forces. They have 44% our population. 40% of the number of males reaching military age each year but without South America to fall back on as we do when we require huge numbers. They have a GDP smaller than California and Texas combined, less industry, less high tech. They have few and weak allies. Their most powerful ally is Belarus, with a population 1/2 of the Netherlands and a military manpower comparable to the Netherlands (albeit inferior equipped and trained).
They don’t play in the same league anymore, we know that, and we’re pushing them off the Risk playing board and as we do that, we pretend we’re the victim and underdog.
