    hmm reddit really thinks Russia is on the verge of losing huh

    There are posts FULL of people who legitimately think the Russian army is not well trained or have modern equipment, it's kind of insane.

        The US military budget is so bloated with defense contractor grift and waste that even when spending more on weapons than several nations combined, the US still ends up like a decade behind on missile technology.

        Back in 2003 the US sent infantry in to Iraq wearing ineffective body armor with in entirely unarmored humvees. Biggest military budget on the planet by a huge margin and it took years and a number of embarassing political scandals before troops had decent body armor and armored vehicles. I don't know a damn thing about the Russian armed forces but they absolutely could have conscript units that are issued archaic shit equipment while having bleeding edge missiles and aircraft and drones, if that's how their defense budget is spent.

      Yeah. This is absolutely delusional shit. And the worst part about it is that if they were actually RIGHT, it would be bad. Really, really bad. Like, when Russia itself believes it is starting to "lose", that's when cities actually start getting razed to the ground. It becomes no longer an issue of encircling and trying to force favorable terms, but instead, "We can't ensure NATO stays out? Fine. Then NOBODY gets Ukraine. Time to fucking wreck the place." Liberals just have no fucking idea what they are even asking for.

        lol the Chomsky sub has always been pretty trash. Yeah its pretty fucked, I agree with most of what your saying.

        Trump decides to have a full on neo nazi army also while antagonizing Canada and then telling liberals hey btw your gonna die over this and you cant leave we are going to fight except we dont have missiles and most of our equipment was destroyed in the first few hours, but we need to make Canadas ecomony line go down for Australia or something. No motherfucker Canada can have it idc.
