[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Russian logistics are barely able to supply their troops with the bare necessities to survive and fight right now.  Hypothermia and frostbite casualties have been massive (and covered up).  Hunger and malnutrition hamper current efforts.  Russia is in no position to effectively use one of their nukes.[/quote]

If the Russian army is as bad as you say, why do Ukrainians need billions of dollars and massive military aid to fight it? And why should the rest of Europe be told to fear them?[/quote]

Russia has 3,300 active tanks and another 8-10k in storage. Russia has 1.5 million active duty and 2.2 in reserves. The US contributes the most to NATO with 1.3 million active duty, next is Turkey 446k, France 207k, Germany 188k, etc. Germany has 320 tanks. Europe could not stop Russia without the US. [/quote]

Reality has shown that much of Russia's equipment in storage was left unmaintained, is rusted out, was stripped for parts, et cetera.  Generally untenable.  As for Russia's active duty and reserve troops, if that were true then why are they sending conscripts with minimal training to the front?

The Russia of 2020 is nowhere near the Soviet Union of 1980 in terms of operational capacity.  Not even remotely.

It's a rather damning indictment to have your $15 million dollar Pantsir systems failing and getting captured because the wheel bearings are seized or because the tires are dry rotted.

You know it's bad when your conscripts are being issued ancient, rusted AK-47s

$115 million dollar S-300 rocket system failures due to age and mishandling

A lot of this is very likely due to Putin's oligarch friends holding the contracts to maintain and replenish supplies, but instead stealing the money for yet another yacht, condo in Dubai, etc.[/quote]

And yet....the West is tying itself in knots trying to raise a kazillion dollars to fight this paper tiger.  If they are so lame, why is it taking so long to defeat them?[/quote]

One more time for those in the back....

Because even an untrained kid with mental issues and a rifle from WalMart needs a properly trained and equipped police force to take them down before they murder more innocents during a rampage.
