The US military could have taken Ukraine in 1 day without losing a ship. Russia got stuck in the mud.

You misunderstand Russia. Russia is doing it slowly because Ukraine is their neighbor. If the US tried to take Ukraine, they would run into the same problems Russia has. In addition, the US taking Ukraine over is exactly the thing that Russia doesn't want. The whole picture isn't as simple as you make it sound.

If you are simply talking about strength vs. strength, you might be closer to right. But it's hard to tell because of all the US and European help Ukraine has received.

Cool

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard and factually incorrect. Ruzzia DID TRY to take all Ukraine in a few days. Ruzzia sent colunms of troops towards Kiev (people still remember the Butcha war crimes and massive civilian deaths, we have not forgotten psicotic BA), demanded and inconditional surrender and took by treason a large part of the South of Ukraine.

Ruzzia miscalculated, because their army is not only not good enough, it also lacks proper intelligence on the enemy.

Ruzzia is trying with all its might, only short of using nukes, which would be stupid as they are by the side of Ukraine and NATO would easily interpret any radiation heading to Poland as an attack.

The truth is far more simple - what is happening is exactly what it looks like: Ruzzia does not have the capability to advance or cause a decissive loss to Ukraine. They can and do use terror - you do not need a big army for that.

If you would come out of your British bunker now and again, you might realize that Russia is advancing all along the Black Sea Corridor (BSC) everyday.

When are you going to realize that Russia never tried to take Ukraine in this war. All they were doing is liberating people along the BSC from Ukrainian military aggression... both Ukrainians and Russians living there... some as they had for years or decades.

Certainly Russia miscalculated a lot, as did Ukraine. But as the 'liberations' grow daily, we see that not only are the Russians strong enough, but they are strong enough that they drop flyers to warn the Ukrainian troops before they attack an area and take over.

And I realize that Ukrainians and NATO are that dumb, that they would think that Russian nukes would be heading to Poland, if launched. I mean, how many people think that Russia is at war with Poland rather than Ukraine? Must only be Ukrainians... and NATO. You're such a hoot that my belly is all tired out from laughing.

Cool
