    they would have flattened all of Ukraine and done the genocide you all accuse them of?

    Lmao, you actually believe the Russian military is capable of that? They couldn’t take Kyiv even before they had to started reusing WW2 equipment.

      Have you compared the industrial capacity of Ukraine compared to Russia? Do you really believe that a nation that much smaller is actually winning?

      If Russia was the genocidal force you claim they are they could have literally glassed Ukraine without consequence. The reality is that that privelege is only afford to western backed powers like Israel.

        What a myopic view on warfare, “big country big, eat smaller country”, because a smaller country has never repelled an industrially superior foe before. I honestly don’t know how you can look at the current situation and think Russia is doing well. Why aren’t they using that industrial capacity to build enough air defence to stop the drone attacks on their oil refineries? They’ve been happening for a year now, it should be easy for Russia and it’s well managed, large indusial capacity, right?
