If the Ukes were serious their army would be 3 or 4 times the size that it is now. The Ukes have had a year to mobilize.

To compare with the past, in 1863 the CSA had an army of around a million vs a population of 9 million. A ratio of around 1:8. Ukraine has a population of 36 million so a proportional army would be 4 million and not the reported 200,000 they have now.

This "war" is a joke.

“This “war” is a joke.”

Agreed.

Let’s all keep funding and keep fighting ... but not so much that grain shipments are affected.

Not quite. The million was total mobilized over the duration of the war, not peak strength.
