“That is a nice try, but until Russia proved itself to be inept no one thought of them as a paper tiger with nukes.”

Just stop. We knew it all along. we could have crushed them at any time since 1945, but our people and statesman decided it wasn’t worth the cost, and we are not aggressors.

“So why doesn’t Putin takes his paper tigers and go home?”

Probably because Russia has the upper hand. Right now, Russia is slowly grinding the Ukraine down in an attritional battle. I get it you’re proud of your country but face the cold hard facts. Being a much weaker power, it is a losing situation for Ukraine as the USA is not going to join the war and Russia can outlast Ukraine.

That is a ridiculous thing to say and to think, America and Western Europe, all of NATO knew that we would be lucky to survive the Russian onslaught if they launched their masses of tanks and troops.
