All wars are not created equally.The US defence budget is just about larger than the worlds combined. But it hasnt helped win a war in some time.

True and we have seen numerous wars in the same area move borders oftenAll wars are not created equally.
The facts speak loudest of all, the Russian army in Ukraine will collapse and be driven to the borders and then if the rail bridges are destroyed inside Russia they will stay there. The Russians are highly dependent on the rails and before the war they had a chronic shortage of trucks. So, since they can't advance in any force more than 50km from their railheads, they will stay inside Russia.I get that some of you are all for a quick ending but ...history says otherwise.
Ukraine to export electricity again after months of Russian attacks"Moreover, a prolonged war of attrition, as with the last two years of the Korean war, would be harder on Ukrainians than it would be on Russians. That's because the US has vetoed Ukraine taking the war onto Russian territory and because of the demoralising impact of constant Russian shelling of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure."
The US does not have a problem winning a war but winning peace has been a problem.The US defence budget is just about larger than the worlds combined. But it hasnt helped win a war in some time. What was Afghanistan's defence budget?
You are not for a quick ending? And when you say some of us and then say all, well it gets confusing what you really mean.I get that some of you are all for a quick ending but ...history says otherwise.
Not this one, no nation building required, and the Ukrainians are highly motivated and competent. It won't do much nation building for Russia though, maybe the opposite. Looking at the state of the Russian army and that of the Ukrainian's, with all the shit that's been pouring into the place for the last month or two and the constantly trained fresh troops in the west and Ukraine, Russia will be fucked with in 100 days, probably a lot quicker if their army in Ukraine collapses.The US does not have a problem winning a war but winning peace has been a problem.
Id love a quick ending but I'm a realist and think its going to be a long war. It might have the odd pause but the war isnt going anywhere unless Putin dies or Ukraine has a much more pro Russian gov. Which could happen at the next Ukraine election.You are not for a quick ending? And when you say some of us and then say all, well it gets confusing what you really mean.
Since 1945 America has been in 5 major wars. Korea, Vietnam, The gulf war. Iraq, Afghanistan. Only the gulf war might be considered a success. And the result of the Gulf war is a shit fight and huge problems that persist today.The US does not have a problem winning a war but winning peace has been a problem.
America is not fighting this war, not 1 US soldier has died in Ukraine. Ukraine has most of what it needs to win this war, all they lack are the tools. Ask the Japanese about the US war machine. NATO will supply Ukraine all it needs to win. Russia cannot compete with all of NATO's resources...Since 1945 America has been in 5 major wars. Korea, Vietnam, The gulf war. Iraq, Afghanistan.

He is the proverbial scorpion that is about to sting the fuck out of us as we carry it's treacherous ass across the river...Let's see, Twitter is still banned in Russia, so why let Vlad back on to spew shit, for a rich guy Elon doesn't seem to know shit from silver. He doesn't seem to know the difference between truth and bullshit, I guess because he bullshits so much himself, kinda like Trump, not as bad, but leaning in that direction. Twitter trapped him financially and it trapped his ego even more once he got on it.
Maybe Elon wants to be to build a battery factory in Russia so he can pay them shit in funny money and achieve oligarch statues, they are short a few since they flew out windows.
I didn't say that they were. Just pointing out that defence budgets are nice and handy but doesn't guarantee a win. Its for sure another proxy war though.America is not fighting this war, not 1 US soldier has died in this war. Ukraine has all it needs to win this war, all they lack are the tools.

Nationalize anything defense related, pay him market value, and boot his traitorous ass the fuck out of America.
