Next, Russia is not fighting Ukraine, it's fighting almost the entire world. APCs, tanks, artillery systems, anti-aircraft systems, missiles, fighter jets, drones etc etc etc all these armaments is being sent to Ukraine by their "partners".

How much of the NATO inventory has been sent to Ukraine?
The US has 5000 tanks, the others around 2000, Ukraine received 200.
The US has 600 Patriot batteries, it has sent 2 to Ukraine.
The US has how many fighter planes? How many have they...wait zero!

You're fighting a country 1/4 of your size armed with 2-5% of the NATO leftovers and losing badly!
Face reality, Russia was a paper tiger!

I wouldn't be so excited about if I were you. You know what this means for a common US/EU person who is barely making ends meet after covid and sanctions? Even more expensive goods, further inflation growth, further decline of quality of life etc.  

Yeah yeah, I know, the classic Russian paid propaganda about the decadent west.
Heard that in 88, heard that in 97, heard that in 2007, it's getting boring.

Now around 60% of all US exports is oil/gas. So, whose economy is a "big gas station" now?  Grin

Texas? Oh wait, Texas is twice as big as Russia when it comes to economic size!

Also, the US exported 180 billions worth of goods in October,  60% would mean 108 billion, around 3.6 billion a day.
At the price of oil of 80 per barrel you're telling me the US is exporting 45 million barrels of oil equivalent per day?
Must be nice to export half of the world production!
