World is still dealing with the fallout of that battle

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-battle-of-tsushima-strait#:~:text=During the Russo-Japanese War,for East Asia was hopeless.



...Japan emerged from the conflict as the first modern non-Western world power and set its sights on greater imperial expansion. However, for Russia, its military’s disastrous performance in the war was one of the immediate causes of the Russian Revolution of 1905. :francis:
Im still tripped out over Russia thinking they were under attack by Japs when they were like 50miles off the coast of Great Britain :mjlol:

Biden says Putin "already lost Ukraine"​

THURSDAY, 9 FEBRUARY 2023, 09:54

President Biden has said that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin has "already lost Ukraine," adding that the military aid for Ukraine during the Russian invasion is open-ended.

Source: Biden, in an interview with PBS NewsHour, reported by European Pravda with a reference to The Hill

Quotes from Biden: "There’s no way that Putin is going to be able to — he’s already lost Ukraine."

"He thought that if he invaded Ukraine, first of all, he’d get a welcome by every Russian speaker, they’d say, ‘Come on in.’ Secondly, he thought what would happen is that NATO would collapse, NATO would not do anything, they’d be afraid to act."

"Go down the line, none of that’s happening."

Details: Biden said NATO is coordinating in support of Ukraine, despite Putin thinking it wouldn’t.

His comments come after he stressed his support for Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion during the State of the Union.

Biden also pushed back on criticism from a small group of Republican lawmakers who have suggested that too much US assistance is going to Ukraine. PBS’s Judy Woodruff mentioned Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who has suggested money spent in Ukraine should go to Americans, and Biden audibly laughed.

"If these guys don’t want to help Ukraine, I get it, they don’t want to do that, but what are they going to do when … Russia rolls across Ukraine or into Belarus or anywhere else?" he added.

When asked if aid to Ukraine is open-ended, Biden replied, "Yeah, it is."

24 February marks the first anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion. Since then, US military assistance to Ukraine has exceeded an estimated US$28 billion.
Putin is going to have to drop a nuke to win (which he won't since that's suicide). The Russian military is shyt.
They are not winning any conventional war. And if they try another full scale invasion again, it will be a complete disaster. Ukraine is well prepared this time. There is no ambiguity like the last time

Ukrainians have been getting training from the US for 9 years now too. When this war is over, they will be one of the most battle-tested fighting forces in Europe.

Kinda weird the Russians sleep in the fields, on top of their bmps, and leave the hatches on their tanks/ifvs open
