It's simple. Russia has egg on it's face. This entire “war” should have been done months ago.
WTF are you basing this on ?
Military history
Recent military examples
Previous Russian performance
???
I researched this. Wars in Ukraine last about 3 years, weather always plays a factor, and they are bloody as Fuck!
Remember Ostfront opening, the bone fields, same region.
Recent history, US in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Vietnam, etc. And we have all of NATO behind us.
Previous Russian wars, they start slow, like wars of attrition.
The US has 3X the GDP, Twice the population, and a 75 year old global military alliance at their back and call. But you are judging Russia on what ?
Seriously, WTF. I look at the world and recent history and I dont see how we can judge this other than pretty typical of a large power taking on a small power in the last 80 years.
The one exception is the Gulf War, are best military over that period and constantly underrated.
So make your case for this huge embarrassment.
