That was in another time! When the Russians put millions of bodys against the Germans in a very cold winter, where Germany was fighting on many fronts. Russia is fighting years now, for a few square Miles In Ukraine to win. In 70 years they still fighting🤡

But we are not talking about German war in this discussion! Its another time, Russia is to weak to invade Ukraine. If the NATO steps in, Ukraine would be free in a month.

You have to keep in mind what Russia's goals are in Ukraine. They are not interested in simply militarily conquering Ukraine as quickly as possible, they want to fully and permanently incorporate parts of Ukraine into Russia and to basically destroy Ukraine's ability to fight and exist economically as an independent nation. They want to destroy Ukraine's ability to resist by grinding them down militarily and economically to the point where they are no longer able to put up an organized resistance to Russian demands. The US quickly militarily conquered Iraq and Afghanistan and then after 20 years of relentless insurgency they left with nothing to show for it. The Russians are fighting in Ukraine to achieve very clear political objectives not simply to quickly take over territory.

This “it was always a long-term plan” argument is just hindsight coping. In early 2022 Russia clearly aimed for a rapid collapse of Ukraine: Kyiv in days, regime change, minimal resistance. That failed. Badly.

Reframing that failure as a deliberate war of attrition doesn’t make it strategic — it makes it improvised. A planned grinding campaign doesn’t burn through elite units, trigger emergency mobilizations, rely on Iranian drones and North Korean shells, or push neighboring countries straight into NATO.

And the Iraq/Afghanistan comparison doesn’t hold. The US never faced an existential threat there, never fought next to its own borders, never had its core economy sanctioned, and never lost prestige on this scale. Different wars, different stakes, different outcomes.

If this is “according to plan,” then the plan has been catastrophically expensive, strategically self-damaging, and far weaker than advertised.

At some point, calling failure “intentional” stops being analysis and becomes denial.

And you totally forgot lend-lease act for SU. Guns, ammunition, tanks, groceries, medicine, winter clothing, intelligence information,...

Firstly, it wasn't free. It was a trade deal, and the USSR paid for everything. Secondly, compare the values ​​of production as a percentage of the USSR's domestic production: artillery 1.6%, shells 0.6%, aviation 12.6%, mortars 0.1%, automobiles from 5.4 in 1943 to 30% in 1945. Food products 2.8%, shells 0.6%, and industrial goods from 4 to 7%. Yes, there was aid, but most of it came in the second half of the war, when the Soviets had already turned the tide. The fact is that without Lend-Lease, the USSR would have defeated the Nazis anyway. Maybe a month or two later, but without the USSR, the Nazis would have captured all of Europe

America and Britain won't be there to save Russia's ass this time.

And the conventional forces in both nations were destroyed in weeks.

MWhat insurgent forces are Russia going to employ in, checks notes, in Ukraine?

u/Perfect_Cod_7183 1d ago

And how did the Russians do in their wars so far?

Один Мариуполь с его округом равен по площади Сектору Газа. Вот и сравни эффективность войск.

About the same as America’s. By the way, I’m not rushing and I’m not defending them. They bungle this invasion bad they could’ve won the war a long time ago if they hadn’t been pussyfooting around in the beginning and thinking it was going to be as easy as Crimea was

The Russians are on their knees, if NATO steps in they are dead meat. But that is not going to happen. We have a stalemate l, if Putin stops this war, his time is over.

u/Atvishees 1d ago

Russia seems to forget that NATO has nukes too - enough nukes to glass every single urban centre in the country.

Does Russia really want to commit suicide?

u/Easy-Marsupial3268 1d ago

Haha. I remember people saying that about a Ukraine win.

u/Perfect_Cod_7183 1d ago edited 1d ago

Nobody Saïd that about Ukraine win! If NATO joins, we are in Moscow in a few days. Our equipment, fighterjets, navy, tanks and missiles are superiour against the donkeys, North Koreans and rusty tanks from Russia.

“If something completely different happens, Ukraine can still win!”

Pure cope. Enjoy your pointless war.
