  1. At the start of the war Russia had 150 thousand soldiers, DPR abd LPR had 30 thousand and Wagner entered the war on march 17th 2022 with few thousand soldiers. Ukraine had 220 thousand soldiers at the start of the war and mobilized 30-40 thousand per month for last 3 years. Russia have 4 times more population than Ukraine, so if Russia fought a war against Ukraine with mobilization since the start, then Russia would have taken all of Ukraine in first 6 months with 2 million strong army, before the end of 2022. But Russia was limiting itself and fighting a war with limited force of volunteers against NUMERICALLY superior Ukrainian army. So, there is NOTHING SHAMEFUL in fact that Russia didn't managed to quickly capture Ukraine. You have very exagerrated expectations about Russian military, fueled by Western mass media and Western propaganda that always showed Russian army as extremely strong force. But your expectations are your problem, your over-expectations made by Western propaganda are your problem, this is how pre-war military propaganda works - you overestimate military power of your future opponent and when real situation doesn't fit with your over-expectations you call your enemy weak, while in reality you are even weaker - I doubt that ANY European army is capable to fight in Ukraine more effective than Russian, the results Russian army showed are greater than any other army in the World can theoretically get, considering the fact that Russia is simply limiting itself and fighting without mobilization by limited army of volunteers

  2. @European_Liberal  1) You are wrong, Iraqi army was numerically smaller than Coalition and even US army alone. Of course Russia wanted to use the unexpectancy to quickly capture Kiev WITHOUT the fight while most of the Ukrainian army will be busy elsewhere. And CIA with US satellite intelligence told Ukrainians about hidden Russian forces in the forests, so Ukrainians expected this push and waited in ambush. But my point was that no one ever said about "Second strongest army in the World" in Russia. 2) Russia is limiting herself even at now - there is no mobilization in Russia right now, and Russia doesn't use conscript army, Russia instead is paying huge money to volunteers to join the army and fight, while Ukraine is mobilizing dozens of thousand per month and ran out from volunteers. If Russia wasn't limiting herself since the start of the war and mobilized 100 thousand men per month, Ukraine couldn't live to 2023.

  3. They are weaker than Russia and this aid is equalizing the power, this is the purpose of the USA - Ukrainian victory isn't profitable for the United States, so United States want this war to continue for as much as possible, this is a war of ATTRITION against Russia and waste of lives of Ukrainian soldiers doesn't matter for the United States. United States are ABLE to give Ukraine as much military help as will be enough to completely defeat Russia, but they aren't doing it, they are giving very small and insufficient help for Ukraine on PURPOSE, this is their goal - to give Ukraine NOT ENOUGH help so this war of attrition against Russia will continue and their military industrial complex will have profits.

Also we must understand HOW the West is giving help to Ukraine, the billions of dollars which United States are spending aren't going to Ukraine, this money are going to American military industry, which produces new weapons, while old weapons are going to Ukraine. So basically Ukraine doesn't even get this money, United States are paying this printed money to themselves and rearming THEIR OWN military, while Ukraine gets rotten old equipment from old storages

  5. @European_Liberal  With regards to "Russian superior military spending in 10 years compared to SMALL Western military aid". I want to ask - your name is European Liberal, I think you are European patriot, but why West, that have 20 times more economy than Russia is giving that small military aid to Ukraine that Ukraine isn't capable to defeat Russia in 3 years, while European military alone before the war was stronger and numerically superior to Russian military. At now, after 3 years of war, considering the fact how Russian army grew up in numbers for few times and considering the growth in quality and gaining experience, I already doubt that combined European army without Ukraine is stronger, but US military is still two steps ahead and Russia have no chances against it. Then why West didn't just gave 20% of its equipment, tanks, aviation and etc to just defeat Russia in few months? Because Ukrainian victory isn't profitable for the United States, so United States want this war to continue for as much as possible, this is a war of ATTRITION against Russia and waste of lives of Ukrainian soldiers doesn't matter for the United States. United States are ABLE to give Ukraine as much military help as will be enough to completely quickly defeat Russia, but they aren't doing it, they are giving very small and insufficient help for Ukraine on PURPOSE, this is their goal - to give Ukraine NOT ENOUGH help so this war of attrition against Russia will continue and their military industrial complex will have profits.
