It’d be like the US struggling to invade Canada. Really pathetic showing by Russia thus far.

I posted this earlier this year, and it's even worse now:

  • Russians making extremely slow progress on the outer edges of Ukraine.
  • Complete stalemate and Russians getting pushed back near Kyiv (the capital).
  • Russians resorting to indiscriminate shelling and air-strikes of civilians buildings and gatherings because they are frustrated at their lack of military progress.
  • Looking like Afghanistan 2.0 for Russia, unfortunately against a much better trained army. A superior foe, combined with guerilla tactics has smashed parts of their invasion and supply lines.
  • All together a very bad look for the Russian military. Most people considered them the 2nd strongest military in the world, and they've looked completely amateur so far. Their logistics have been abysmal and soldier morale is overall low.
2 years later and none of this has changed lol.

Current status is a stalemate in Eastern Ukraine with neither side making any meaningful progress, just throwing bodies into the meat grinder.

Western monetary support is waning, and focus has shifted more towards Israel.

How long can Ukraine hold out before they begin negotiations?

Russia will surely "win" (whatever that means in this case) due to sheer numbers, but at what cost? Previously thought to be the unquestioned 2nd best military in the world, and now their paper tiger status has been exposed. In addition they are hitching themselves to China economically which will ultimately be a disaster.

What a major miscalculation by Russia.
2.5 years in, and Russia has accomplished NOTHING besides getting 250-500k Russian's killed (Ukraine's estimate is 500k, but I'll be conservative and put 250k as the low end).

For comparison: The US had 116k deaths in WW1, 405k in WW2. In the 20 something years the US was in Iraq/Afghanistan they had less than 10k deaths.

There are dozens of videos posted daily with Russians getting absolutely clapped by improvised, cheap, off the shelf civilian drones.

Russia's only strat hasn't changed one bit since WW2 - just send wave after wave of meat to the front line and hope for the best.

I've seen countless videos where they send fresh troops to the frontline on cheap as fuck Chinese motorcycles of golf cart type vehicles - not military vehicles just jank ass Chinese shit - only to have bombs instantly dropped on them by cheap drones lol.
