    I hope they try to expand back beyond the Bering Strait, and see how Trump and his cult rationalise it.
    The cult won't care. Even if invade Poland the clowns will say it's not our problem, let Europe handle it.

    These guys literally tried to burn down our own capitol, they will never admit they were wrong about anything.

    Does Russia even have resources to go beyond Ukraine and attack another European country? In 3 years of war they have managed to win like 15% of the territory. I just dont see how they could start another war after this. Especially since Europe will invest more in military in the next few years. I think Poland would smash them.

    Biggest trump card they have, is that they don't give a fuck about their own people. Just send them to die. They dead? No biggie, just send some more.

    And I also think Poland would smash them.

    They already lack people, even after scrapping the bottom of the barrel by releasing prisoners and all kind of crazies, they have to resort to North Koreans. You dont do this if you have enough manpower. The only thing they have managed in these 3 years is to sway the mind of a lot of people in EU with propaganda. Its disappointing how many cretins we have.

    Poland would absolutely smash them. Even right now, before the ramp up in the rest of European defence spending. Their targets are likely the Baltic states, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. But they won’t even succeed there. All Russia has accomplished with this war, is to expand NATO to Sweden and Finland, and to fracture America’s close ties with the EU nations, causing the EU powers to realize they need to be responsible for their own defence from the Russian threat. European Russia is completely surrounded by unfriendly nations now, that are all ramping up defence spending. And while America may withdraw from NATO and the defence of Eastern Europe… Germany, France, the UK, Poland, etc will not. Russia will get absolutely stomped if they invade any EU/NATO member state, and that’s right now, before any build-up of the EU military industrial complex.

    The Soviet Union lost around 26 mio people in WW2, some historians are even arguing the number exceeded 30 mio. Exactly how many of these were Russians and not Ukrainians or Belarusians I can't remember, but these are only death counts.

    Now we also take into consideration all those who was turned into cripples/injured so bad they would never recover. And wouldn't be surprised if that is around 10 mio+ also.

    So to me it's not even a surprise if the Russians are running out of manpower. Russia's demographics never recovered post WW2. Too many young males and men in general were killed in WW2 for them to ever truly recover. The population is skewed quite heavily in favor of the women in Russia.

    With all this taken into account, no wonder they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. They been fighting a European country with a big population for the last 3 years, not just some Mujahidin in Afghanisthan. And fighting the Afghans was another big reason the Soviet Union collapsed.

    Here they're fighting a conventional army and their losses are pilling up high - as expected.

    "he said mr president we could be friends", fuck your mother orange imbecile
    oh boy



    every day is a confirmation that they really elected a russian asset. he should be jailed for so many reasons, and treason is definitely one of them. defending a war criminal and getting rid of proof of war crime is an other one
