True, but I was talking about their military prowess. I doubt Russia will ever take things to a nuclear extreme.
most people don't know Russia have only used 1% of their military this whole time before the mobilization. The whole SMO was them mostly doing a proxy war giving aid and support to Militias and Deployed Mercenaries like the chechens and Wagnar taking the brunt. The only time they really used their active service was in the very beginning of the war. Im not tryna cape for them just letting you know

China looking at Putin getting that work by little ass ragtag Ukraine using American weaponry and thinking that maybe China can coexist with Taiwan. Please 🥺. :lupe:

Crazy thing is, Taiwan might've reunified if dumbass Xi didn't declare himself president for life and subjugate Hong Kong so harshly.

I genuinely think the world was willing to let China peacefully slide into that number 1 spot if they didn't reverse their positions on so many things and become hardline authoritarians.

A support for Ukraine is a support for the establishment.
:dead:

Ukraine gets invaded by an aggressor and this is your response. Laughable.

I'm not even sure Russia has the equipment for an additional 300k troops at this point, especially with winter coming. The bigger problem is with Ukraine currently re-enforcing the areas they recently liberated, they've been able to move their forces up...including HIMAR and artillery. These Russian soldiers, who are not trained, will be blown to bits if they plan on invading beyond the annexed territory. I don't see how this turns the tides for Putin and instead may open him up for criticism (or worse) within Moscow. A Russian hardliner would be able to ask why they didn't fully mobilize for instance, and claim a partial mobilization is why this failed.

Low key kinda proof USA would smoke Russia without nukes.

USA would smoke Russia with or without nukes. But it would come at a heavy price for humanity :francis:

It's a nightmare scenario which none of us should want. Picture WW 1 +2 but far worse. Only idiots who don't understand history and the implications of world war in the 21st century would want a war between USA and Russia.

I’m not sure what you think counts as Russian military but if you are only using 1%, the next step isn’t full mobilization.

Bout time to Putin out the paint

Even if Putin is displaced, what comes after him will probably be much worse. He's managed to keep the oligarchs in check and towing a single line for decades. Imagine a volatile Russia with countless oligarchs and their allies jostling for power.

And believe it nor not, there are political forces in Russia that are to the right of Putin, more extreme/idealistic and less pragmatic :francis:

Liberals are a non-factor in Russian politics so this fantasy of a Putin-free Russia = a liberal democracy is just that.. a fantasy.
