The hierarchy of incompetence in Russia goes like this. Army: Highly incompetent, cant even take the Donbas in a year despite it being a few hours by car from Moscow, but believe it or not the most competent of all the branches. (I include VDV here even though they are their own thing) Air Force: Bomb their own city. Can't manage basic SEAD never mind large scale operations. and still cant get air superiority over a much smaller air force type of laughable incompetence. Navy: The most incompetent of all the main branches, keep fire extinguishers locked up because people keep stealing them and get the Moskva sunk by a country with no navy type of incompetence. edit. see Kursk, Kirov and Kuznetsov FSB/KGB/Intelligent apparatus: Absolute amatuer hour, feed people polonium sandwiches causing chaos all while thinking they are somehow amazing. edit. remember the 3 copies of the sims 3? Leadership: The peak of Russian incompetence, Russia hasn't had a good leader in centuries, maybe ever. Its no wonder their country is in shambles.

@zandromarcellones1197 For starters Russia isn't they only country with nukes, if they really want to go toe to toe I don't think things will turn out the way they'd like (they don't they are scared shtless of the US). Furthermore one thing we learned from START is that all their ICBM's were sitting in 20 feet of water. Nuclear weapons are very expensive to maintain and in a country like Russia who cant even maintain a conventional military the chances of them having a credible nuclear threat is pretty low.

@dpelpal I though the Moskva was on a mission to rendezvous with the VDV who were dropped in the Black sea to denazify the sea floor.

Imagine getting your flagship sunk by a country with no Navy.

@dpelpal to be fair this isn't even the most humiliating war in Russian history. I'd nominate either the Polish–Soviet War or the Russo-Japanese War. Special mention to the first Chechen war.

@enochcushite496 NATO won the Afghan war in a few weeks, there hadn't been an attack on coalition forces in years. There was the inane political goal to turn Afghanistan into new Kansas or something which the US thankfully gave up on. If after 20 years the ANA wasn't able to fight for itself it never would. The US should have left after the got Bin Laden.

@chessell256 Maybe, though he was another guy with no regard for human life, about 100k dead to build his city. I guess in Russia he's good enough for 'the great' moniker.

@LordZontar haha yeah good point it needs a tug to follow it around to keep it mobile. i didn't even mention that thing, its tough to remember all the braindead things Russia does off the top of my head.

@whitewolfMKD This is all common knowledge. In the Baltics they have a term for it; vene värk (Russian stuff/style), to describe the kind of shambolic incompetence that the Russia is known for.

@captainhadd0ck You may be right, plus the 3 copies of the sims 3 debacle. It was a tough call.

@paulpaisley5291 Don't mention the Crimean Tartars who were genocided by Russia.

@thalentekhuluse2829 Most of that they had before the war, and most of the rest in the initial shock of the invasion. since lines have been established Russia has lost far more then its gained. Furthermore its Russia thats spent the past 20 years stroking itself off as the 'worlds #2 army' Even stalemate is the same as humiliation for them.

Right? This guy fails to mention that 90% of China's fleet isn't blue water capable and cant sail past Vietnam in force. In a war the US would blockade the straights of Malacca and China would face mass famine and deindustrialization in 6 months.

@reginaldburnbridge2217 LOL, ok dude. Included in the casualties, 1000 Abrams, 100 F-22's the USS Gerald R Ford and Joe Biden himself. You live in a fantasy world.

@psikogeek This is probably true, most Russians with half a brain left in the 90's and most of the rest when the war started.

@michaelmcleary8566 It was their turn... The UN is inherently broken everyone can see that though there is still value on having a place for rogue states like Russia to engage in dialogue so nobody wants to disband it. Fortunately enough the UN is a toothless organization and being chair of the security council means nothing really.

Shame they need western components to actually do that. Plus Russia is going through a demographic collapse, this is Russias last war whether they like it or not.
