Actually we’ve been in DEEP kimchi for a very long time...but that silliness is a misdirection on your part. We are talking about the capabilities of the Russian military. They just added 1100km of essentially unprotected border with Finland. The Rooskies don’t have the manpower to effectively manage their current borders much less occupy Ukraine. They know it. We know it, and they know that we know it. Hell They couldn’t fight a successful war against Norway Sweden and Finland if the plan was to take the countries. They need twice the current capability to effectively guard their own borders now...another 600K troops to occupy all of Ukraine...and they simply don’t have the soldiers or hardware, much less the trained and capable fighting force ot logistical supply. Oh sure they. An kill lots of folks including their own but they are finished as a world power other than nuclear. If America engaged them they wouldn’t have a surface ship in either the Black or Blatic Sea in 72 hrs. Again, they know it...we know it and they know that we know it.

Says you! Put official numbers of what Russian military strength is with reliable academic and think tank resources.
