Obviously. There are just a lot of people who want flattering and re-assuring stories from Media “authorities”. The reality doesn’t matter (look at the British Press).
The other problem is that NATO had a deterrent value before 2022 with the Russians making assumptions about capabilities which clearly do not exist.
After almost 4 years and plenty of promises, NATO in aggregate has not come CLOSE to any of the military production committments.
The Russians now know that.
Most people in the US and on FR think that this war has showed that Russia is a paper tiger.
I say, it shows the same or worse for NATO and Europe. Yes it has weakened Russia but Europe and the US are in serious decline because all of the money and weapons sent to Ukraine that have not been replaced.
