Six months after President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the war has upended basic assumptions about Russia’s military and economy. ... Ukraine is half a year into the war and what it will mean as it marks continued independence is as uncertain as the outcome of the conflict. What is clear is that rather than reasserting Moscow as a global military power as Putin had hoped, his decision to invade Ukraine has triggered a deep rethinking of Russia’s conventional capabilities. It also prompted further expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, with hitherto neutral Finland and Sweden deciding to join the military alliance.

PGR88, How’s the weather in Moscow?
Don’t mention Milley and Afghanistan.
What are you going to say when Pentagon is going to deplete its arsenals by sending all stuff to Ukraine and Russia still wins?
It’s not really a war between just Russia and Ukraine though, just like Vietnam and Korea wasn’t just a fight between them and us. In all these cases it’s a proxy war with third parties funding and training the weaker nations.
Well, your buddy Biden announced another SPEEDY THREE BILLION DOLLARS to Ukraine today. THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER CASH IS FLOWING!
He will say the usual nonsense he usually says. He is quite a bit slower and more infantile than Baghdad Bob.
Dirty RuZZian, LOL!:)
Not only that but I think this has made Russia seem much stronger overall. Military is one thing but we have always been told Russia is a gas station with Nukes. The world relies on Russoa for a lot and Russia is in a pretty good situation in terms of being self sufficient. Not sure that any other nation could withstand what Russia has endured. They definitely have a blind spot with locally sourced tech (the brain drain idea seems valid) but beyond that they are very strong. I suspect that with the change in their monetary policy they will be better positioned in the future. The bullets that the West has shot are going to be one and done because now everyone is starting to rethink monetary policy. Globalism has taken a major hit. I expect that the expansion of Globalism will have to be done in a more forceful way than if they never took these actions against Russia. The policies from the west really should have been thought through better. Climate policy weakens the West.
Better spent on Ukraine than food stamps.
Which nations will be dumb enough to buy Russian weapons systems? Especially their antiaircraft and anti-missile systems, which have mostly failed in Ukraine.
Biden agrees.
All I am is just a sad little election denier. LOL
Your ilk wont survive one winter Alexandre...
Hehe!
They also have drought on top of that.
Ukrainian Troops With Rocket Launcher Destroy Russian T-90 'Vladimir' Tank Costing 4 Million Dollars
What bothers me is that the U.S. has been exposed as a banana republic.
Ukraine had 3-1 edge in number of troops when the war started, a 600,000 man army, concrete foxholes built over eight years and has received around $100 billion in US tax dollars and is getting its ass kicked.
The only place the Biden regime and globalists can win is in the media where it knows the media will repeat any lie it tells and idiots like Speedy will repeat and believe the propaganda.
But, anyone not realizing Russia is -- big -- just needs to look a map of the war. The Russians have liberated more than 50,000 square miles of Ukraine. That number grows daily and will continue to unless Ukraine surrenders unconditionally.
