As bad as the Russian army is, it would have had the upper hand if Ukraine didn't get outside assistance.  IMO it's a bit of an unrealistic bar to expect one country to stand up to a global effort to arm its opponent.

I also don't quite know if Ukraine is the right country to carry the anti-corruption flag.  It was named the most corrupt in Europe just before the war.[/quote]

Before you go around disparaging the Ukrainians, I would take into account they are literally in a battle for their lives.  Try criticizing them after you've helped them rebuild their country.  Only then do you have that right,  For people unfamiliar with the communist system, yes, it will take decades to undo,  However, it's not something that changes overnight.

Your analysis is completely off on the military aspect.

The population of Russia before the war was 144 million, Ukraine 44 (about a third).  Russia was the unilateral aggressor, so was well prepared in advance; even sitting on their borders for a few weeks (in the Zapad war preparations).    All the West did was supply arms and aid retroactively; and only after Ukrainians showed they weren't going to cave like they did in '14.

It's clear you know nothing about the Russian system of government or its Army.  Against non-Ukrainians (ex. Syrians, Africa, etc.) they are brutal and effective.  The problem is they are fighting what they consider to be brethren, and as line troops realize their own propaganda is a lie, their morale is impacted.[/quote]
