Isreal has a conscript army and it's quite good

@vlad_47 every country in healthy form had taken down superpowers . You can't just bend time and space to your liking to avoid reality . Russia has lost many wars to significantly smaller countries and isn't invincible .

So basically you mean to say that nato will leave the defense of Europe to an incompetent corrupt army like the ana ? Why do you think the Taliban won ?
2
@rhodium1096 what do you think nato troops were doing for 20 years ? The defeat in Afghanistan was caused because nato thought that ana could be left to its own . Not because they were physically able to stop the Taliban .

Us bases are on territories which host countries agreed to

@SweatyFeetGirl the same thing the Japanese said in 1905 or the Germans in 1914 or the British said in 1856 or the chechns said in 1995 or the poles said in 1920

@vlad_47 British haven't lost a war to Russia tho . And all of these countries despite being significantly smaller won a war against Russia

@SweatyFeetGirl excuses excuses

@vlad_47 Russia lost ww1 on its own territory , so did they loose chechnya and they lost against Japan . Every country that has fought a war against superpower when they are at peak efficiency (ei healthy form ) has won (Vietnam , isreal , England , Poland in their healthy forms have defeated countries which at that time would've been considered superpowers or very strong ) That's just bending time and space to your liking to say that if we were efficient than we'd win .

@legatvsdecimvs3406 didn't Russia bomb 3 separate countries with no justification
1
@vlad_47 Germany lost ww1 to France , not to Russia . And russi withdrew from ww1 because the Germans just straight up fought better than russians did and used intelligence to their advantage Japan was at that time also fighting china and the USA not really a pure soviet victory Chechnya still managed to win the first war, in 1996 chechnya fought better and defeated the russian army the second invasion isn't something to brag about or that impressive considering the odds Russia isn't a special country its subject to the same laws and forces that every other country on earth is .
1
@vlad_47 Germany didn't manage to destroy France even with Eastern front closed or when in the beginning they had the vast majority of their troops on the Western front . Still Germans beat russians in their home field The Pacific front was mainly naval action and the Japanese pulled the majority of their best troops air craft and heavy equipment to defend the home islands Russia lost the first chechn war there no way you can say otherwise . Russia got beat on its own territory again
1
@vlad_47 also USA killed 250k Japanese while the ussr at most killed 83k Japanese the invasion of Manchuria didn't deal that much casualties for ww2

@legatvsdecimvs3406 in chechnya Russia lost Grozny to Chechen forces Ww1 was a mistake because Russia wasn't able to win that war Russia has bombed georgia Ukraine Moldova all of them when they were neutrual
1
Russia bombed 8k civilians in Syria
1
George Ukraine Moldova . Basically to keep their regions occupied
1
Not really

Why are you speaking so confidently what if in 20 years a major recession hits Russia while Ukrainie is on the up swing and they are able to o conduct a successful military campaign in the separatist regions
1
@Vonsiatsky do you think it will be the same for the next 20 years ? In 1971 noone would've thought that the ussr would ever collapse and that Germany would reunify and that South Korea would become richer than north Korea . Yet here we are today
1
@Vonsiatsky in 1971 south Korea had a GDP per capita 301 USD less than that of noth korea . In 1971 both the USA and the ussr had some problems only it turned out that ussrs problems were worse but noone in 1971 could've expected that the ussr would've collapsed in 20 years so who is to say that Ukraine won't regain control over Crimea Also Ukrainie lost more people than Russia didn in ww2 as percentage of its population . Calling them Nazis is disrespectful . Their president is Jewish and they had a Jewish prime minister
1
@Vonsiatsky Bandera was nationalist who collaborated with everyone who would get Ukraine independence . Azov battalion is 0.5 % of the Ukrainian there are just as many Nazis in the russian army as in the Ukrainian army , which Nazi state would elect Jews into power ? Think ! They passed laws on indeginous people which guarantees their rights Russia has economic problems too. Not to mention while yes in an all out war of destruction Russia would be very hard to subdue there have been many times in which Russia has been defeated . For example 1905 Japan , 1917 Germany , 1989 Afghanistan , 1995 chechnya . Russia isn't invincible can be forced to agree .

@Vonsiatsky Crimea is also a small territory and it's not like Russia is corruption free now Germany - yes it was a military defeat . Germany just used intelligence to start a revolution. Sabotage is a military tool too . Afghanistan - the Soviet forces were still withdrawn because they didn't have the capacity to keep going . While yes the government of Afghanistan lasted for another 4 years it still did fall . To certain extent yes Afghanistan wasn't a military defeat because Soviets made the same mistake that the Americans did , thinking that the Afghan miliary would've been competent. Chechnya- Russia lost the first war tho . Yes 5 years later it did go back in and win through sheer fire power and not screwig it up still not that great of a look . The fact is that if chechnya could pull that off it's not impossible for someone else to do it as well . It was very sloppy . Its not impossible for Ukraine to wage a war in which its able inflicted enough damage to Russia to force it out . Yes now that is very unlikely as Ukraine lacks the economy and population but in 20 years time things could be better . Similars things have happened before

@Vonsiatsky the Soviet Union left after killing over a million Afghan civilians and took in basically no refugees while USA had to evacuate over a hundred thousand refugees via aircraft to a place 8000 km away. The Soviet installed government managed to hold on not because of the Soviet military but because it happened to be less corrupt than the American installed government. In chechnya Grozny was flattened with artillery . Russia had no consideration for civilians there .not to mention chechnya managed to take back Grozny from the russian army Lennin was a big leader in the revolution and had a huge part in it . Germans in ww1 just fought better and used better strategies than the russians did. Russia isn't special its subject to same rules and forces that any other nation on earth is . It isn't invincible be it on its own territory or abroad.

@Vonsiatsky south korea in 1971 also had been in a decline and basically a third world country but they managed to turn it around
1
@Vonsiatsky south Korea isn't a puppet tho . Its an ally still you can't deny that south Korea through investment and good policy was able to create one of the worlds most formidable economies
1
@Vonsiatsky the goal of the Soviet intervention was to prevent the Islamic Revolution from spreading to Afghanistan but it eventually did so the Soviet Union failed while yes the USA has lost some wars since ww2 because it failed in the goals it set out accomplish it also won some wars too. Ukrainians aren't dumb people the world's economy is always changing its not impossible for them to find a good market conquer to build wealth
1
@Vonsiatsky USA respects south Korea tho , south korea also supports USA in many endeavours for example in Vietnam . Bandera served in a Nazi jail . Not to mention the Stalin killed Jews too and Stalin is still respected in Russia , he also worked with Nazis . Guess Russia is also Nazi state. Have you been to Ukraine ?
