The Russian Military won’t “be” after Ukraine. Wtf are you even talking about?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Even mainstream western media now openly admits that Russian military has gotten far stronger. Yet, here you are...

Like the Russian Baltic fleet has been battle-hardened by its contact with the ocean floor.

Ah yes, Russian Baltic fleet was famously destroyed in the imaginary universe that you inhabit.

beat to hell is not battle hardened

Even more, if they're expected to engage in another sustained campaign, who's going to be fighting it? They can barely keep their conscription pipeline full now. Who's going to sign up to sacrifice themselves in Meat Grinder round 2?

Why would you go back to a two week old post just to be completely wrong about everything? 😂

Nobody with a functioning brain thinks Russian army is beat to hell. Certainly not a single western military person is saying this. I guess I can see why you'd think this is the case if you've just been guzzling propaganda for the past two years uncritically though.

I have heard Western military people say this, in person. It doesn't mean Russia is not still a threat, but their capabilities have been degraded during the two years of the "easy 2-week war."

If they're doing so well, why haven't they been able to defeat a country with a population a tenth that of Russia?
