During the Cold war their plan was to conquer us and the problem was, at what moment could that be accomplished, to have made it worthwhile.
They built a massive empire and had a massive military force unlike anything the world has seen, and all of it built on attack and defeating us in a quick, massive, and brutal attack.
Currently they are in the process of rebuilding and fighting their way back to empire, I oppose that.
You don’t, you don’t even want money going to Ukraine, no weapons, no support of any sort, nothing to get in Russia’s way.
There is ZERO reason for Ukraine not to have the support of other countries, we are friends with and still conduct military exercises in Ukraine, why should we submit to Russia? Why should anyone submit to Russia?
Yeah, that may have been their plan but doubt it would have worked out for them.
Command/control sucked as did most of their troops. Equipment was not that good either.
