'putin won't bite off more than he can chew unlike bibi'

Russian currently in year 3 of what should have been a 3 day sweep, with decimated industry, manpower, and economy.

Nobody in Russia ever claimed it would be a 3 day sweep. This is a narrative that was made up entirely in the west. That said though, we now know for a fact that the war could've been over in the first two months if the west didn't sabotage Istanbul talks.

Also, last I checked Russian industry and economy is thriving right now. A lot of that is a result of western sanctions ironically which created domestic niches for businesses to fill, and stopped capital flow out of Russia. World bank just moved Russia up into a high income country as a result https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/world-bank-country-classifications-by-income-level-for-2024-2025

Also, incredible that people believe that Russian manpower has been decimated when even US military officials openly admit that Russian army is now stronger https://www.voanews.com/a/us-air-force-general-russia-military-larger-better-than-before-ukraine-invasion/7788601.html

The place where industry and the economy have been decimated is Europe.

A competent world power with a modern military should and would have made it a three day sweep or less. Let alone a multi year war of attrition 💀

Also lmfao at the wall of cope you just typed up

LMFAO, the US couldn't even defeat farmers in flip flops in Afghanistan for 20 years, but whatever helps you cope there little buddy. I especially love how you refer to statements from the World Bank and US military as cope. A really great way to highlight what an utter 🤡 you are.

Never even stated the US. Nato coalition toppled the saddam regime in like 65 hours 🤷

I just couldn't give enough of a shit about you to debate you tho. Stay mad dork

LMFAO, how's Iraq doing right now? Meanwhile, the NATO CoALiTiOn has been throwing all it's got at Russia for over 2 years now. 😂

keep on coping debate bro, it's adorable
