        Leaving aside the sheer absurdity of Russia attacking Europe, the fact that Russia has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world appears to escape you. Of course, you also think that Russia is performing badly in Ukraine, so what else is there to say about you.

            The fact that people still can’t understand what’s happening in this war is a real testament to western propaganda.

                Plenty of people have already explained what’s happening in the war. Here are two excellent articles from people with a clue that you might want to read.

                • https://www.russiamatters.org/analysis/whats-ahead-war-ukraine
                • https://mearsheimer.substack.com/p/the-darkness-ahead-where-the-ukraine

                It’s incredible that you think Russia is just fighting Ukraine here while ignoring all the resources the west has poured into this war. Not to mention the fact that NATO was training and arming Ukrainian army for close to a decade before the war even started.

                Russia is fighting a war of attrition with a very limited force, and it’s depleting entire NATO arsenals as western media openly admits now. If you think Russia is doing poorly here, then what can we say about the achievements of NATO in Afghanistan for two decades. NATO lost against the Taliban who didn’t have any support from anybody, or any modern weapons.

                Not only is Russia prevailing on the battlefield, but Russia is also winning the economic war with the west. Russian economy is now growing while the west is going into a recession. Russia has massively increased its influence with the Global South, while the west is becoming the pariah of the world.

                The fact that westerners can’t understand this is absolutely incredible.

                    Those links seem silly to me, but I evidently don’t have a clue. I think I’ll skip those articles, all the same - I prefer to avoid propaganda, be it western, Russian or otherwise.

                    You’re seriously trying to suggest that U.S. Lt. Col. Alex Vershinin retired after 20 years of service, including eight years as an armor officer with four combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and 12 years working as a modeling and simulations officer in NATO and U.S. Army concept development and experimentation. This included a tour with the U.S. Army Sustainment Battle Lab, where he led the experimentation scenario team, is writing propaganda for Russia here?

                    You genuinely don’t understand how absurd that claim is do you.

                    I didn’t mention the Afghanistan conflict. I wonder why you deflect and mention that. Whether it was a success or not isn’t what was being discussed here.

                    You said that Russia is performing poorly in Ukraine, so I’m comparing how NATO has performed in Afghanistan. It’s weird that you’re unable to acknowledge this and call it deflection. We’re comparing the strength of Russian army to NATO here. So, if Russia is able to defeat a large modern army in Ukraine, and NATO can’t defeat the Taliban I think it’s pretty clear which army is stronger.

                    Russia is certainly trying to woo India and China and it may be working for now as their agendas align. Suggesting the West is becoming ‘the pariah of the world’ is ridiculous though and an individual of your obvious intelligence must realise that.

                    All of Global South stands with Russia right now.

            It’s pretty clear that you genuinely believe everything you wrote here, which means that no constructive discussion is possible with you. Enjoy living in your fantasy world while you can, it’s going to come crashing down soon enough. Best of luck to you.
