It’s wrong to assess the Russian failures in Ukraine as “incompetence” - Ukraine may be David, but they are David armed with the world’s most advanced weaponry and it outclasses anything that Russia - with a GDP smaller than Spains - could ever put out barring an actual nuclear exchange.

Did I ever state it was due to incompetence? You sound like a bot pushing the military industrial complex and war with Russia. Like I said, if UKraine can effectively beat Russia with our supplies, Russia is not a real military threat. If they want to reverse to nukes, the world is done for, regardless.

“If they can’t beat the poorest and most corrupt…” c’mon dude🙄🤣. I’m anti-Putin and have been for twenty years, but let’s stay grounded in facts - that’s what I’m suggesting.

Stop spreading misinformation, it’s a well known fact and if you weren’t aware, you should do a 5 second google search before spouting nonsense:

Dear Clown (given that this is how you signed off), perhaps you are unaware that your post is a non sequitur. It does not follow. Essentially, your words : “if they can’t beat the poorest and most corrupt European country” suggests that Ukraine is defeating Russia sans billions of dollars worth of military aid from several of the world’s most advanced militaries. This is - obviously - what I was talking about. Your links about corruption are just a smokescreen.🙄🤣
