In Da 15th
Russia is the second strongest military in the world and it showed, ukraine like the 16th seed in march madness put up a little fight for the first half but then reality sets in.

I said before the war started and people were calling me a clown.

Russia inherited most of Soviet Union’s capabilities and infrastructures. And since Putin took over - he has modernised the army.

The country just doesn’t like flexing its muscles outside its sphere of influence. However, since the Arab Spring that toppled Gaddafi and then got to Syria - they have been on alert (Watch Putin’s emotional speech after Gaddafi got killed on YouTube). It’s one of the reasons he quickly intervened in Syria and also annexed Crimea when it got to Ukraine because he knew everything was gonna end in Russia.

And Russia hasn’t even used its modern weapons in Ukraine yet apart from Su-34 (modern in this context is post 2000).

I hope Ukraine surrenders in the next few days after all the Nazis have been slaughtered and the country stays neutral so innocent civilians can be saved.

What would be the effects if Putin takes back Ukraine??

Would it really be that bad for the west, sort of a rebalancing of powers?

Would it give China the balls to take Taiwan?

Ofcourse the whole thing is awful but im speaking outside of human emotion

Why is the west so scared of Russia taking Ukraine back? They are not part of NATO or EU

i don't have time to explain the past 80 years to you.

This is mostly going to affect the EU and UK. And some British farmers have already started complaining.

Once this war is over - it will be a big miracle if there isn't another big economic meltdown in Europe.

Covid already mess things up - this is just going to make things worse.
Europe fuk themselves for the US

russians are used to taking big losses in war
They lost like 20 mill in ww2
they lost like 15,000 with 50,000 wounded in the war against afghanistan
IE their military is trash.

They were always going to take Ukraine. I’ve said it since day one. The fact that they’re still struggling with basic shyt like supply lines and haven’t taken Kiev tells you all you need to know. All this mixed with a tanked economy ensure they cannot hold Ukraine. This is a disaster and it’ll only get worse once the resistance begins.
