——Maybe Russia is so corrupt it can’t win any wars——
Corruption is a factor, but the real problem is that Russia just isn’t. Russia is not a great nation any more than say Mexico or Italy.
Russian greatness is a myth.

Russia and Mexico no, I agree with you
but I'll make an exception for Italy
besides being the home of Rome - which has lasting influences on our Western architecture, legal systems, political systems, etc., Italy was also the place where the Renaissance started, the basis of our modern tolerant/scientifically curious civilization
plus they make damn good food
maybe I'm just biased here, but Italy for me is always the summit of "joie de vivre" ... and I'm not even Italian!!
