“You should know that ‘Ivan’ means ‘God Gracious or God Merciful’. When you call me that it looks like to pray to me which I’m not completely against but still it is too much for me. If you want call me by name then just better use ‘Vladimir’ like Putin. It means ‘Owner of World’ but least it isn’t God.”

Ivan is the Russian equivalent of John. And John means “God is gracious.” It doesn’t mean John is God.

“When I told that a coalition having Russia won but other lost. I meant in a war vis-à-vis between 2 coalitions.”

That’s not what you said.

“And a coalition meant that one when all countries of it participated in a war. In your examples with Israel or Iraq Russia/USSR did NOT participate at any fights.”

Too funny! You guys claim that in the current war Russia is fighting a coalition of western nations (NATO) aligned against it.

So, how can you say in one breath that there is no coalition unless all members of the coalition are actually fighting, but in the next breath claim that Russia is fighting a western coalition (NATO) in Ukraine?

that Russia is fighting a western coalition (NATO), but in the next breath claim that it is not a coalition unless all parties in the coalition are actually fighting?

“P.S. Better don’t use phases or names which you don’t know how to use properly or you just show yourself a comedian.”

Better learn how to argue logically instead of emotionally. You are laughable.

Give it up, Ivan; lest you embarrass yourself and your country more than you already have.

Oh, BTW: How is the vaunted Admiral Kuznetsov doing? Still smoking? Still relying on tugboats for propulsion? And Russia has how many carriers? Oh, just that one? Some fleet!

You should think twice before you ridicule other countries, especially their militaries.

For NATO this war is a proxy war that is what it meant. They are not involved by their armies. Same thing was Arabo-Israeli wars. For USSR they were a proxy wars.

But again if there was a fighting coalition including Russia/USSR (like WW1 or WW2) this coalition wins. Opposite coalition loses. Even if USSR changed sides in ww2 the victory also changed from one side to other.

And Russia has how many carriers? Oh, just that one? Some fleet!==

Big fleet is need the one who wants dominate the world. Russia don’t want it. She just want to keep hers, return stolen form her and defend herself against anybody.

Second thought. Why one needs aircarrier if she can’t get close to a shore because antiship missiles have twice bigger range than her airplanes?
