Putin could not win a war with a relatively poor and militarily weak country on his doorstep...

How many United States' taxpayer dollars/personnel/materiel has the US funneled to Ukraine to fight "their" war?

I forget.

Remind me.

Regardless, they are a minor military without combined arms. When the U.S. attacked a decidedly superior (compared to Ukraine’s) Iraqi army, they cut through them like a hot knife through butter. We got bogged down in nation building in Iraq, not the war. Same with Afghanistan. The Russo-Ukrainian war should have been like Desert Storm, with Russian armor rolling into Kiev within a week, two at the most. Instead it looked like the Russo-Finnish war. An utter debacle.

Double the amount Russia spends on its entire defense budget.

Given the poor results from the Ukrainian use of our weapons, I would say we are not getting our money's worth and probably would have a hard time fighting the Russians or anyone.
