    If that’s the state of the Russian military it says a lot that even with billions being thrown at Ukraine they’re still fighting a year and half later

      You can do quite a bit of fuckery when you keep a population ignorant and misinformed.

        What I mean is that Ukraine still fighting Russia with so much money being thrown at their defense doesn’t seem to jive with a narrative of a foundering Russian military

          What russia lacks in gear it makes up with cannon fodder and blood. This is how you last a year and a half.

            Like every article and interview with Ukranians about the conditions on the battlefield make mention of the RF consistently having an exponential (sometimes 10 to 1) artillery advantage, which also doesn’t gel with the narrative of an unsupplied army on the brink of collapse

          They may not have many effective pieces of equipment or soldiers, but they sure as hell have a lot of ineffective ones
