This whole entire Ukrainian fiasco has made the ‘vaunted’ Russian military look like one big fat joke.

Imagine all the existing US-Russian military comparison vids, etc. and their validity when put in the perspective of what the Ukrainians are doing against this ‘vaunted’ Russian military. LMAO. What a frakin peddling joke these vids are or have become. And what a frakin joke the Russian military has displayed thus far in Ukraine. Pathetic and Putin should be flipping mad as hell, but he is at fault as well.

Imagine you were a Soviet Army junior officer in January 1991, just before the start of Desert Storm. The Party is saying "watch the fun". The Iraqi Army has top of the line Soviet equipment. They are trained in Soviet tactics. You expect them to bloody the Americans.

Desert Storm happens, and the Americans go through the Iraqi Army like wet toilet paper. Ridiculously lopsided casualty ratio. You sit there and realize what would have happened in any sort of conventional war in Europe.

The USSR collapsed within months.

Putin is massively at fault.

He started this nonsensical war
