Well.. it is not a simple Russia vs Ukraine battle. Now it has grown to Russia vs NATO battle.

But, Russia was supposed to trash NATO even in an open battle, not they are running away just because the US has sent 5% of their missile launchers, 0% of their tanks, 5% of their aircraft, 0% of their aircraft carries,0% of their submarines and 0% of their troops in battle?

How's that 50% getting conquered by April, then 25% then 20% ?
Right now Russia holds 68k km2 conquered from February 24, that's 11% and even if we include Crimea and the DPR/LNR is still below 18%.

Meanwhile, speaking of a superpower, the super profits that some experts were talking about are, guess what...melting away!
I can remember the stupid cheering on how Russia is making billions in profits, how they have trillions in budget surplus how they can afford quadrillions while Europe sinks in poverty, well, as usual, reality kicks in after the last glass of vodka.

The fiscal surplus shrank to 55 billion rubles ($850 million) in the first nine months, from 137 billion reported in the year through August, according to preliminary data reported by the Finance Ministry on Wednesday. Russia’s surplus over the first six months of the year reached Rbs1.37tn as it built a war chest on the back of soaring energy prices.

Superpower, why can't some understand that with just gas and oil the only superpower level you're able to achieve is that of Bartovia?
Seriously rather than sending those conscripts into battles they would be better of investing money into bitcoins and trying to sell their tanks as NFTs, far better than having them blown off.

If one country is cutting the ties the other country is in line to strength the terms with Russia - there is no denial that Russia is a very powerful state.
