Lists of equipment losses and casualties supported by photos for every one are hard to describe as propaganda. Russia’s running up almost 2000 tanks lost- at least half their serviceable fleet if not more. Comparable losses in other equipment, usually a third of it was captured by Ukraine. That’s not what a competent power looks like, and no, they’re definitely not gonna win, unless maybe taking just the Donbas at the cost of 200-300 thousand people is a victory

Russia can’t even handle our second-line weapons being given in relatively small numbers to a country a quarter of its size. What we found out from Ukraine is that the Russian military is laughably weak in comparison to NATO, and that’s not even speaking of the US military. Poland could apparently solo Russia no prob, based on what we’ve seen in this conflict.

China has an even worse position, since any war with them would involve them needing to make a landing on a hostile country that has shitloads of missiles and the support of the largest navy in the world by 10x.

Old news- we crushed Russia, rebuilt our alliance with Europe, and isolated an economically weakened China. We’re back to 100% secure for at least the next ten years, maybe longer.

Nuclear power was once considered the same way, until we dumped the equivalent of 1000 trillion dollars or whatever on getting it in the Manhattan project. I would love to have our politicians announce a second manahattan project for nuclear fusion to win the war on climate. Maybe phrasing it that way would get people on board with actually trying for once.
