There wasn’t an army in Europe Ukraine couldn’t handily destroy. Russia has scared shitless the entire West.

Russia has scared shitless the entire West

on the contrary ... we all used to be scared of Russia, it used to be seen as this unstoppable juggernaut that would roll over all of Western Europe in just a matter of weeks

BUT after the pathetic battlefield performance we've all seen over the last 8 months, Russia is now seen as a paper tiger, just a mid-level conventional force with nukes, like North Korea

the worst thing Putin did for Russia's feared reputation was this invasion ... Russia has been exposed
